Thanks for sharing. I develop the habit of note taking 😊
I like your blog, and I want to thank you for sharing such important knowledge. I develop the habit of note taking in happy wheels💕
Agree 100%! Note-taking is a skill all of us had to develop at school and it's only natural to continue developing an essential skill moving forward! Thanks for this insightful article Tapas Adhikary :)
Thanks a lot for reading it Victoria Lo. Glad to know you agree with the mindset of note-taking.
Great. Do you publish those doodles too?
That's great AbhisekH MukherjeE
Interesting topic here, I totally agree with what you wrote, for me I find myself writing shorter notes while learning, eg I was learning about list and keys in react, and the only thing I wrote on was how the map method was very useful and handy in doing that and since it's no more than two paragraph.
I'll probably post it as a poem, as that's how I like to write, at least for now till my feet are finally strong for long blog post
The best thing I did when I started working as a developer was to get a habit of noting things down. Also, keep me awake in the morning calls.
Awesome!

Note-taking is a great habit we build in school and grow in college, but we drop it when we get into professional working life. Have you ever wondered why?
Teachers push the note-taking habit on us in schools to help us memorize concepts and improve handwriting. When we get into college and universities, most of us do it alarmingly to help ourselves(after all, we need to pass exams!). Some even wait for others to take notes so that they can "take note" on it :)
Then, what happens when we get into professional work life? We become independent. Not many exams, complete focus on work, and we realize that "note-taking" will not help much!
In your professional life(let's take the reference of developers), you solve problems. When you continue your "note-taking" habit on those solutions, you help many others beyond just "you".
But, How?
You need to put them out as CONTENT.
Content! Meaning?
Hmm... something like a piece of work that takes your "note-taking" to a broader audience in the form of a blog, videos, threads, ebooks, or whatever suits you. Share your learning, journey, problem-solving, and thought process. You will help many out there waiting to learn from your note-taking.
As a content creator, you get plenty of opportunities you couldn't have imagined otherwise, ever! Let me try listing some of them below:
... the list never ends.
Back to the basics, with 'note-taking'. Build the habit of taking notes consistently. You can use any note-taking tools of your choice. Besides pen and paper, a few famous ones are Notion, Evernote, Onenote, Apple note, and Otter. You can even use your GitHub repository with markdown files if you are familiar with it.
You start building the draft for your next content when you traverse through your rough notes and re-arrange them to explain a topic.
Well, all that we discussed was part of the story. As a consistent content creator, I wanted to emphasize the importance of note-taking(even if it is just pointers) in our daily lives. We gather a wealth of information that we otherwise ignore or forget.
All the benefits I have mentioned here are for real. Consistency gets you there, but note-taking makes it easier for you and help you to stay consistent in your content creation. If you are starting with content creation or have given it up for some reason, think from the perspective of creating content based on what you learn(or want to learn). Again, taking notes play a huge role there!
The idea of this article was to provide food for thought for aspiring content creators. If you have any questions or topics to discuss, please post them as a comment below. I also share tips on Software Development, Content Creation, Open Source, and Career on these platforms.
