Don't rely on memory. Take notes!

We've all heard it since school: "Write it down, take notes." In the tech world, keeping track of details is even more crucial.

I used to skip note-taking during my meetings, trusting my memory to hold onto everything. For a good while, it worked—brilliantly, I would say. I've advanced my career with this weapon. But then I hit a wall. Two hours later, I couldn't recall what was said, which design needed changing, or who I was supposed to message.

Meetings, even short ones, are packed with action points. Don't miss them. Open a doc, jot down notes, and keep track. Looking back at those notes later can save you from a world of confusion. Stay organized, stay sharp.

Turn your notes into action, set reminders, and keep your workflow clean.
It's a small habit that has big returns.

This is so true! I used to think I could remember everything during work hours, but it is so useful to take notes and create a to-do list by priority. It definitely improves productivity and efficiency and helps keep track of the tasks to complete!
