This is not professional notes nor advice. ** . **My goals for this article as follows;** . * When I read a book, take as many notes as possible, for better memory retention. Such as the California Drivers book. * Keep notes structured in bulleted list for fast visual scanning. * Eliminate unnecessary words or characters. So, "The cat in the hat sat down" would be "HatCat layed". * I shall examine the structure of "Cliff Notes" and similar publications, as well as various "short hand" philosophy. * Keep my Evernote app simple by placing major literature notes here in subpages. . . . * Subpages thus far: None. Driver book will be listed in due time.
