Does anyone believe taking notes makes them smarter?

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

It absolutely does for me. I don't remember much of what I hear, and only the gist of what I read, but if I write something, it's in there. I'll even take notes on my own thoughts to help me remember details as I work out complex problems

I have pages and pages of notes laying around...I almost never read them, but taking them definitely made me smarter
