Amateur note taker

I love taking notes.

It’s fun, and it’s useful to see what I think, on paper or on the screen in front of me.

But I’m intentional about never being great at it:

  • My note-taking ‘system’ is simple, void of intricacies and tricks
  • My notes have poor hand-writing and the most basic of structures
  • I don’t use any ‘second brain’ methodologies whatsoever

I don’t want to be a professional note-taker.

I want to remain a professional doer. Just enough notes to get something started. Just enough notes to review how it went so I can go again promptly.

To be a great doer, consider being only an amateur note-taker.

Put that energy toward making something wonderful.
