As I have learned there are several benefits to making notes:

Improved understanding and retention of information: Making notes helps you process and understand the material you are learning and makes it easier to review and recall later.

Increased focus and concentration: Making notes can help you stay engaged and focused during a lecture or meeting, as it requires you to actively listen and pay attention to what is being said.

Better organization and clarity: Notes can help you organize your thoughts and ideas and can serve as a helpful reference when you need to review the material later.

Enhanced problem-solving and critical thinking skills: Note-making can help you analyse and evaluate information, as you must decide what is most important and relevant to include in your notes.

Preparation for future use: Notes can be a useful resource when preparing for exams, projects, or presentations. They can also serve as a valuable reference when you need to revisit the material in the future.

Note-making mindfully made your words active.
