> 3.7. Don't Take Notes on a Computer

I found that being able to type notes saves a lot of time compared to handwriting notes (especially if you can type fast enough). The main cognitive benefit of typing notes (that I have found) is being able to quickly edit and reword what you're writing. It's not practical to erase and re-write a handwritten bullet point during a lecture, but if you're using a word editor, you're able to easily tune the wording of your summary as you gain a better understanding of the topic. Being able to quickly iterate on your notes as you're learning is enough for me to stick to typing my notes.
