Do you consider yourself to be good at note taking?
> Consider finding a few episodes of Car Talk, My Favorite Murder, or another podcast with at least 2 people talking back and forth, putting it at 1.1x speed, and taking notes on that.
This is an interesting idea. I think I'll try it!
Do you recommend this as a way to get better at note taking or a way to assess your ability to take notes?
I find that the hardest part of taking useful notes is identifying and organizing the key ideas that will need to be referenced later; writing down everything that's said in the order it was said seems to be of less value in a lot of cases.
How would you assess the quality of notes taken with this exercise?
