Small pencil is better than large memory comment on it and briefly explain the process
Answers
The ability to absorb and act upon new information often makes the difference between success and bigg success. One of the best ways to do this is to become a prodigious note taker.
There’s an old saying, “A short pencil is better than a long memory!”
When you write it down, you not only have it available as a reference, you also are more likely to remember it in the first place. So you’re able to absorb and act upon the information better than someone who doesn’t take notes.
So when you’re going to meet with someone – in person or on the phone – take notes!
It’s amazing how many people don’t take advantage of this simple technique that makes such a big difference!
Set up yourself apart – take notes!
Take notes when you’re meeting with a group. Take notes when you’re meeting with a single person.
Some people don’t think it’s worth the time. They have it backwards.
It’s a waste of time to invest time in a meeting and then forget most of what you’ve learned. So take notes so you remember what you learned and you have a ready reference in case you forget.
