To those advocating writing (more notes) to help context switching, just a thought — do chess players keep notes during a running game?
---
And I added this part later, just to frame the question in case it suggests that I think notes are useless here:
I have been writing and keeping notes of my work for more than a decade, mostly writing them as I go.
- andrewzah 5y agoI don't find it very valuable personally and I play 3-day correspondence chess. When I make a move I spend a few mins replaying the moves to make sure I recall my current plan and that I'm not missing anything obvious, before I start analyzing possible moves.
- tephra 5y agoFIDE rules bar you from writing down notes. You are only allowed to write down the moves of the game. In correspondence it is bit different and there I usually try and write down lines.
- j4yav 5y agoIt is forbidden in tournament play, but I absolutely keep notes for correspondence games that play over the course of multiple days (a chess sprint?) and LiChess even has notes as a built in feature.
