FWIW, like everything else in life, you only learn how to do something, and get good at doing something, by doing that something. You say you tried, but then follow up with "I never did it at X". Take notes. Fuck it up. Figure out why your attempt wasn't useful to you. Take more notes. Rinse, repeat, and you too can eventually take notes that are valuable to you. EDIT: One thing I forgot - taking and reviewing notes takes time. Dedicate time to both steps, and to identifying how to improve.
