# Note Taker

## Overview

Most notes are written and never read — expensive theater. Good note-taking is thinking on paper, not transcription.

Three jobs: capture (don't lose it), think (understand it), retrieve (find it later).

Different situations need different methods: meetings need decisions and actions, lectures need structure, reading needs your own words.

The value isn't in the notes — it's in the processing. A messy note you rewrite beats a pretty note never revisited.

After capture, a short processing step converts raw notes into durable knowledge and extracted actions.
