How Note-Taking Became One of My Most Valuable Skills

How Note-Taking Became One of My Most Valuable Skills — 1 of 2
1 / 2

I first learned the value of note-taking in JSS1, when my sister-in-law taught us and served as our school bursar. Writing down every word she dictated was difficult at first, but her patience and encouragement made the habit easier to build. I have always valued commendation. A sincere “well done” motivates me to improve, while needless condemnation does not. I pursue excellence, but I also believe progress deserves recognition. From secondary school through university, note-taking became one of my strengths. My training in Linguistics sharpened my ability to listen, identify important points and record them clearly. That skill now helps me greatly whenever I serve as a secretary and take meeting minutes. The shortest pen is still better than the longest memory. Allah ya sa mu dace!

Your sister-in-law's patience seems to have mattered as much as the dictation itself. Encouragement can make difficult habits feel possible.

Writing every dictated word can build discipline, but it may not always mean the learner is processing the lesson deeply.

A simple approach is to review notes the same day and rewrite key points in your own words for easier recall.
