> I believe "taking notes" is the wrong way to think about it
Recording only the inputs doesn't help me much, my notes are mostly always about the part of my brain it ticked off.
A lot of it is "I wonder if this will help me with X" connection points left off for me to follow up later rather than to go back to refer to the conversation in exact terms.
Good notes for me are a way of letting off my internal narrative pick up from there later and carry on paying attention to the conversation I'm actually having right now.
