Note taking
Record the essence of information from different sources and platforms, and free your mind from having to recall everything.

Very interesting methods of taking notes
http://wiki.c2.com/?ProgrammersNotebook
- Put a date on every entry
- Use a consistent format so that you can easily go back and find something
- Use a horizontal separator line and a project name to separate individual subjects (music, theorem proving, language research)
- Different kinds of entries, each with a special symbol in the margin:
- remarks, questions, definitions, to do items, Meta-Remarks…
- Keep a separate To-Do-List, or put it in a special place. Don’t scatter todos throughout your notebook
