Effective note-taking in 2024 is all about getting to the heart of what matters.

Forget endless scribbling and disorganization; it’s time to prioritize.

If your notes don’t serve your objectives — helping you learn more, helping you retain more, helping you stay more organized — they’re not worth your time.

1. Less is more in your notes

Adopt a minimalist approach to your notes.

Channel Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s wisdom: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

Focus on the content that makes a real impact.

2. You should use streamlined shortcuts
