Hey Desiré, I take notes on my phone a lot but I try not to do it in-front of someone as they are talking. If it's something I'm learning on-line, I might copy and paste some stuff into a text file, but I think I'm doing that less. I guess I can always go back and Google it again.

Hello, Katie! Thank you so much for your response.

As I'm curious, why wouldn't you take notes as someone is talking?

Also, don't you think that if you're doing the same job everyday (not saying is your case), where you need to for example configure many techs, it is better to write down some notes and not wasting time searching through examples in Google for hours?

If I'm talking with someone, I think it's rude to stare into your phone while they are trying to tell you something.

If I have to do any repetitive tasks, I'll sometimes write a script which kind of act as my notes. The problem is finding that script later when I need to run it again. Yes, I can get very disorganized!
