Do you take notes in meetings? Or when listening to a presentation or talk?<\/p>\n
Not formal minutes, but notes for your own benefit?<\/p>\n
How do you take those notes?<\/p>\n
Have you ever had any training in note taking? Probably not. If the people who take our Brilliant Thinking course are anything to go by, it\u2019s a skill that is hardly ever taught (or at least, very rarely learned).<\/p>\n
Yet if you’re paid to use your mind at work (err,\u00a0that’s almost all of us) it’s the\u00a0equivalent of:<\/p>\n
–\u00a0making sure your camera has full batteries, available memory\u00a0and a clean lens before heading out to take photos at the wedding<\/p>\n
– being able to draw a small sketch in 15 minutes that gets across all the meaning and beauty of a scene instead of a bloated canvas with loads of detail but no sense of what’s vital<\/p>\n
–\u00a0crafting and\u00a0sharpening your own arrows before shooting one through the apple sitting on your fellow worker’s head (excuse that\u00a0bit of licence with the William Tell story).<\/p>\n
