I came late in this party of ‘note-taking’ and made so many mistake just because of my self-learning attitude. Always believed that ‘Note-taking is important’ but only after spending couple of good years in collecting silos of information. I understand the truth.

• Capture
• Review
• Organize
• Refer

All these information is capture mostly in both form — paper and digital.
