How to Take Smart Notes: One Simple Technique to Boost Writing, Learning and Thinking – for Students, Academics and Nonfiction Book Writers by Sönke Ahrens

informative inspiring medium-paced

Neat little book which provides details on taking notes, particularly with use of the Zettlekasten system (commonly referred in here as the "slip box"). It provides ways such a system can be set up digitally and physically. In addition, there's details about how to consume media and draw effective notes from it, which I found insightful as someone who had been only doing it subconsciously.

My only grievance is that I wish there were clear examples demonstrating the use of the Zettlekasten system, but otherwise I enjoyed my read. I found it provided insight within my own note-taking process. 

I also agree with other reviewers saying that it's very "you should do this because of all these benefits," however I didn't mind it personally, as it helped me feel confident about the note-taking process.
