Episode notes

In an office setting, I would argue that typing is the equivalent of doing that pen and paper activity as long as you're actually participating. In order to be able to participate, you can't be slowed down by your own skill to capture the information. If you think if you currently type 45 words per minute and you can increase your typing speed to 60 words per minute, that's like a pretty significant improvement in your efficiency.

Anh Dao Pham shares pro tips on developing the most underrated skill that makes a world of difference: note-taking.
