Grouping and organizing information can make it easier to process and understand complex concepts. Rather than just trying to compute the total value of a pile of coins, it's more effective to group them by denomination. Notes should not just record thoughts, but serve as a space for active thinking and cognitive expansion. This approach to note-taking can enhance cognitive abilities and improve learning.

Jorge Arango is an information architect, author, and educator. For the past 25 years, he has used architectural thinking to bring clarity and alignment to digital products and services. He’s the author of Living in Information: Responsible Design for Digital Places, co-author of Information Architecture: for the Web and Beyond, and host of The Informed Life podcast. Besides consulting, writing, and podcasting, Jorge also teaches in the graduate interaction design program at the California College of the Arts.
