Introduzione all’arte del prendere appunti

Questo post mi è stato ispirato da una serie di letture che hanno avuto inizio con questo post di Novlr sul prendere note. Ho seguito le briciole di pane e ho trovato tanti articoli interessanti sull’argomento. Li ho già postati man mano che li leggevo sui miei canali social, ma ho pensato di riunirli in questo post così che siano più facili da trovare e leggere.

Buona lettura!
