Breaking down how and why I write things on the notebooks that I keep.
Fundamentally, if the content you are consuming has stories, or lessons that you already know, you should not write them down.

You are always looking for things that inspire that spark. or aaha moment. And that can be useful for you in future.
Writing in your own words what you have learned is far more important, than to copy and past facts.
Suppose you are reading a book, and you stumble across a amazing passage, you do not write down whole passage, but insights that you have gained. the lesson you learned.
And while writing insight, you will remember a personal story which is not always the case, either your own story or from someone. Try to write that story about how things thing mix into fact.
In my case, i usually remember an encounter that i either read from another book or an video.
And lastly, if you have any question, write that down too.
Direction, not a rule
This is a direction, not a rule, i do not follow this 100% times.This is not the only way to do this. This isn't written on stone. I am just giving you some direction so that you guys won't find resistance when you actually try to write insights or open a new notebook.
You can do it any anyway you like.
Notebook
You don't need a fancy notebook. And if you are like me, you might already have unused notebooks lying around your home. Collecting dust. For eternity.
