There's more value to note-taking than just having a reference afterwards. The act can be helpful with retention.
I don't reference a lot of my notes.
- gfourfour 2y agoI agree to an extent but I’ve realized that the benefit of retention is probably outweighed by the downside of slowing information acquisition. I’m realizing that note taking doesn’t help retention as much as I thought it did and not taking notes doesn’t hurt retention as much as a I thought. That’s why I’d like to find more of a middle ground.
