In high school I would take hand written history notes and then type them up at night (I was a touch typists in the 90s when it was relatively rare — today’s kid type blinding fast).

This gave me a really amazing recall for the notes, and often times I would type with my fingers in the air to recall passages.

In college we had far more material and I could do this multi mode note taking and I think my performance suffered for it.
