Take 30 Seconds to Write Down Key Points After Lectures or Meetings

We all struggle with memory retention. It's why we take notes and record things we want to experience again. Medium writer Robyn Scott suggests taking 30 seconds after an important meeting to write down the strongest takeaways.

The goal here isn't to take detailed notes or remember every specific thing. That's what note-taking during the meeting is for. Instead, take those 30 seconds to write down the strongest impressions you have or the most notable things you felt afterwards.




Getting into this habit can not only help you retain more of the information or experiences you take in, it can also help you express them more clearly. We've all walked away from an inspirational speech feeling motivated, but writing down exactly why we feel so strongly or what we want to accomplish next can help focus that energy.
