Notetaking Things

[Magnanimous]

Leo once said that you shouldn't take notes, just underline text with a pen. Is there any other notetaking advice you would give?

I disagree with Leo. I think you should liberally be taking notes, but also making notes.

Highlighting and underlining is useful, but passive. When you’re making notes, you’re actually engaging your brain with the material and adding your own unique insights into it, making your understanding of the material richer.

Great feedback, Vision

How about underlining info in the book as notes, but then writing your own notes (such as insights) into spare places in the book. Does that integrate yours and Leo's techniques completely?
