Take notes
When taking notes, just write down the key words, such as names, dates and numbers. They will help you remember things later on. To save time and space, omit all articles (a, an, the) and use abbreviations. For example, use “N.O.” for New Orleans, “bc” for because, “yrs” for years, “+” for and, and so on.
