If you don't read notes, why waste time making them instead of slowing down even more and spending that extra time/effort on active listening/thinking?

I get distracted and my mind starts to think of better ways to explain the last point... Soon I have no clue what the last ten minutes were about. Taking notes makes me get back on task faster so I can find the next note to write.

I'd like to slow down and just listen but the reality is I won't.

They way the slow down and spend extra effort is by writing notes.

Writing is thinking.
