I've done a bachelors degree in electrical & computer engineering, half a bachelors degree in chemistry, a year of grad school, and have been in the workforce now for a few years.

In this time, I have never been able produce legible or useful notes much less come up with a personal note taking system that works for me.

My studying habits in school boiled down to showing up to class and pretending to take notes and then going home to spend hours outlining textbook chapters until I had everything I needed to do well on exams.

At work, I take notes in meetings for the exact same reason I took notes in college - so I won't be judged for not taking notes.

so tl;dr: ...you don't really take notes, everything goes in your head?

I wish I were that smart, but no - I have to spend extra time revisiting / researching concepts on my own time.
