Note taking comes natural to us. It’s both the way we are introduced to information and the method we use to repackage our learning and uncover novel thinking. For some it’s a compulsion to write notes while hearing a lecture and for others they can only comprehend something once it’s been noted in their own words.

If 300 hours of video content are uploaded to Youtube every minute, imagine how many notes are written across the world in that same time. Since well before the ancient library of Alexandria was filled with scrolls, people have been taking notes to explore expertise and understandings.
