Would love to but my handwriting is awful. Don't know why. I am often complemented on my note taking. My view is that longhand is superfluous. Try to write more briefly and to write in all caps. Use more features like bullets, outlines and spaces and a different color pen for drawings, comments, underlines, outlines, lines indicating relationships, etc. This dates back to when I was perhaps 8 I had a teacher who forced us to use a ruler to create double-underlines for all headings in a separate color. This was, in hindsight, an awesome formative influence. About brevity, think about it like this: if a second language speaker or child can understand the gist of it, you're doing well. I don't actually take notes very often. A few times per month at most by hand, and probably a few times per week digitally. Basically I only take notes when in creative mode (interrogating own brain, reading stimulating material, brainstorming with others) or making research notes (often market research or technology related).
