Hey hey. Been really busy with that work thing. New boss took vacation and I've had to cover.

When I take notes I print instead of writing cursive and draw pictograms and put things in boxes and connect them with arrows for flow etc. Found I could print just as fast as cursive, but the main thing I could actually read it later. The pictograms and illustration stuff helped with the recall. Note taking was part of the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading Course I took the summer before college.

There are short cuts to printing to make it faster. For a while after learning Graffiti for handwriting recognition on my Palm phone I printed in Graffiti minimizing the strokes for letters.

I did have a chem teacher back in the day that required copies of lab notes in four colors with each color having a specific meaning. However you took your notes you had to turn in the colored stuff that he would review, grade, and return so you could study from them.
