A shudder went through me when I read the parent post you replied to. Based on my personality that wouldn't work for me, and over time I've had to learn to better understand and work better with people that work that way. I've had people comment on me as sloppy, uninterested etc. when they make the observation I'm not a detailed note-taker which is quite frustrating.

I've mentored enough colleagues that I've come across those who take extremely detailed notes, and are successful, and a fair number who do this and don't find success in their work. When I try to find ways to get them to question their approach they are often resistant to changing because the have an ingrained belief that detailed note-taking is of fundamental importance.
