Traditional note-taking process
In the traditional system of taking notes for a long report, you:
1. Develop a rough outline.
2. Do any preliminary reading necessary to construct a rough outline.
3. Locate your information sources, and make bibliography cards for each
source.
4. Take the actual notes on index cards.
5. Label each notecard according to its place in the outline.
6. Provide bibliographic information on each notecard.
7. Change or add extra detail to the outline as the note-taking process
continues.
8. Check off the areas of the outline for which sufficient notes have been
taken.

When you have taken sufficient notes to cover all parts of an outline, you
transcribe the information from the notecards into a rough draft, filling in details,
adding transitions, and providing your own acquired understanding of the subject as
you write. Naturally, you may discover gaps in your notes and have to go back and
take more notes

How to Take Notes at a Meeting
Taking notes at a meeting is a completely different task than taking minutes at
a meeting. When taking notes, one is not focusing on a general outline of decisions
that were made or topics covered. Rather, the notes should serve as a
comprehensive listing of the details of the meeting and the ideas and topics covered.
There are a number of ways to effectively take notes at a meeting. Choosing
one should depend entirely on the method that is best suited to enhancing the
memory and understanding of the note taker.
Comprehensive notes: For a person who is more comfortable knowing, and
recording, every single detail, it is best to write everything that is said. While this
would be difficult or impossible for some, for others it is simply the only way to be
sure the information they collect is accurate.
Mind mapping: This graphical approach is an excellent option for people who
do not want, or who don't feel able, to accumulate such detailed information. To
create a mind map, it is best to obtain a copy of the agenda prior to the meeting.
Then list any topics of the meeting on the center of a piece of paper.
Noting on the agenda: One of the easiest ways to take notes is on the
physical agenda itself, because the agenda already has the main points listed. Any
information that could be used at a later date could be added next to the point on the
agenda where it was discussed.
