There are many thoughts on how people should take notes and there are some really good ideas and some really bad layouts. So I decided to make my own. Why? Because I can and I believe that I\u2019m a little more effective when I work on the templates I know best. One of the things that I\u2019ve found is that some templates out there have too much information and blank space that I\u2019ll never use or they are too blank where it doesn\u2019t have all the things I need.<\/p>\n<p>The template I made fits my needs where I can take general notes, write down the associated tasks, make a list of people who I need to call in relation to the notes, and an area where I can doodle or highlight the important things that I need to remember. It\u2019s laid out cleanly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also in the process of making another layout just for managing projects. While I like the stuff that Day Runner and Franklin Covey put out, it just doesn&#8217;t suit my style.<\/p>\n<p>Download the PDF and try it out. The best thing to do is print as is. Don\u2019t print to fit. Contact me if you would like a custom template for yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Resources:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/edelalon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Edel-Note-Taker.pdf\">Edel Note Taker<\/a>\u00a0(PDF)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was in a meeting the other day and someone noticed my paper where I took notes.
