We don’t need to create a new system but the “slip-box” does that for us. We also don’t need to get anything prepared for it. For this, we’ll try to keep the system as simple and let the concepts and ideas become complex. For this, a good note taking system needs to be established.Įstablishing such systems can seem complex, but is done properly can be very efficient. To succeed at it, it is important to keep track of the ideas we read about so that they can be used later. We will come across a number of ideas and topics. For this, it is important to realize that the process of writing doesn’t start with a blank paper, but an efficient note-taking system to keep our ideas in an organized collection.ĭeveloping and coming up with new ideas can be challenging, especially when we’re raising the bar for ourselves.

But the fear of facing a blank screen drains most of our energy and we produce poor results. Note-taking is an important part of any process be it academic (writing papers, studying, etc) or professional. I would definitly recommend this book if you are a researcher or wish to pursue any kind of writing in th future.ĭetails and review: Amazon Page My Notes: Author Sonke Ahrens has done a great job of connecting topics like manuscript writing, how we understand things, and the psychology behind producing great work.
