Hyy dear It is an old saying" Small pencil is better than large memory" because there are lots of Benefits of Note Taking
1. Putting notes down on paper gets them out of your head and into concrete form. Write down what you want to remember. Ideas are fleeting things. Write them down and later when you review them, they may lead to even more ideas.
2. You collect the information in real time and are able to process it later. It is easier to reread than to remember.
3. Taking notes forces you to read and listen carefully. Note taking also helps avoid lapse of memory later on.

I know a lot of money is invested in learning seminars and training sessions whether they are short motivational sessions or multi-day conferences. Organizations and individuals invest heavily in meetings/seminars. The payout or return on investment—in money or time—is not as apparent.
Numerous studies have been conducted on the retention levels of people who attend meetings, seminars, training sessions, discussion groups and the like. While there is disagreement on the exact retention percentage— how much knowledge is retained and put to work on the job—it seems evident that after a short period of time, four to five days, the average person has forgotten a large amount of the information to which they were introduced. As a result, organizations are nowhere near performing optimally. This low level of knowledge retention has a direct impact on revenue and earnings.
Information presented in seminars, lectures, and conferences often contains the ideas and strategies that lead to achievement. Yet, people who attend these meetings frequently do not realize the power of the pen and note taking. I find that if I don't take notes, I am not as attentive and focused as I should be.
An article by Ellen Gibson, How A Doodle Serves Your Noodle, in April 6, 2009 Business Week refers to a study published in Applied Cognitive Psychology by Jackie Andrade at Britain’s University Of Plymouth in which she played a rambling voice-mail message to 40 people, half of whom were given shapes to fill in as they listened. The results: The doodlers recalled 29% more of the message than those who just listened. Andrade says idle scribbling uses just enough cognitive bandwidth to prevent daydreaming, so it may help us to stay focused.”
Benefit of Note Taking

2. You collect the information in real time and are able to process it later. It is easier to reread than to remember.
3. Taking notes forces you to read and listen carefully. Note taking also helps avoid lapse of memory later on.
4. When you are reviewing, notes aid in recall. People quickly forget, especially if the information is not acted upon immediately. The power of notes is they are a wonderful discipline of action. Notes help recall the important things that you may want to use.
5. Reducing ideas and facts to concise notes increase understanding and retention. Often notes help put the pieces together.
