Taking notes can be difficult, especially when you can't stop thinking about the bills you have left to pay, the date you have next Friday, the test you still haven't studied for, or one of the hundreds of other things going on in your personal life. But we're here to change all of that.

After listening to this audiobook, you should feel more confident in your note-taking abilities. You should feel prepared and excited to attend your classes, because you'll know how to use your notebook to your advantage (a concept we'll discuss later). In other words, you should feel focused and motivated.

The truth is, there isn't a right or wrong way to take notes, as long as you're following the basic note-taking tips listed throughout book. It boils down to common sense, organizational skills, and preparation for anything.
