Johannes Jansson/norden.org [CC BY 2.5 dk], via Wikimedia CommonsI’m currently updating how I organize my classes, workshops, and training sessions. For a while, I was trying to do everything digitally, and it worked well enough but now I’m looking into a hybrid system using notebooks and digital records. I don’t want to duplicate my work but it’s sometimes difficult to get to a device to capture what’s happening and then I forget a detail. Writing in a notebook, or a chart/visual organizer, would allow me to capture what’s happening in front of me quickly.
I’m not a digital native. I incorporate technology into everything I do both professionally and personally but when I need to take notes, and remember what’s been said, I have an easier time recalling something if I’ve written down versus typing.
So, that’s where I’m at. How do I work efficiently? How do I make use of all the tools at my disposal?
