In my last post on reading I mentioned that I like to take notes while reading to help crystalize my understanding. Here’s how I take notes.

My bookmark is my note-taking device.

It’s a Moleskine Cahier plain notebook. It’s very thin and works pretty well to mark my page in most sized books. Moleskine also offers a smaller sized notebook, the Volant that might work even better, but I’ve yet to try one.

I simply write notes as I go.

And put words needing definition or that I want to remember in the back.

Simple.
