This method shifts notetaking from collecting words to finding meaning, blending listening with purposeful thinking. It’s interesting how the act of assigning categories forces us to engage more deeply with the content. By deciding what’s worth remembering, we make understanding - possibly - infinitely more accessible and feasible. I wonder how this approach could evolve when applied to brainstorming sessions or collaborative discussions.

Finding meaning, yes.

The idea is to be a bit quicker to let the words find purpose in your day to day.

One hundred percent.

That's how I learn.

The late Stephen R. Covey, PhD, was the first person to put flowcharts on my radar. Since then, I have spent more time investigating how I learn best.

It's all about a situation-based approach.

Thank you for your time.

This is new to me! Makes sense though. I wonder how hard it is to do as opposed to writing things down as they occur? I used to put an asterix next to any action points but that is as fancy as I ever got.

Interesting - I've never heard of this! I see the value of adapting the categories based on the type of conversation. For instance, a 1:1 intro call might look different than a client update call. Thanks for sharing!
