Re: OT: How to take notes and how you manage them?

Hi Nadeem,

First you should know that how each one studies for the CCIE is a very
subjective, and you must do what fits YOU and not what is popular.

I have used the me method for R&S, Security and SP.

I have noticed that inorder to iron an idea into my mind I need to write it
down in my own words and not just copy paste it.

I have also noticed that using diagrams and lots of colors, also help my to
remember and to understand.

Since I need lots of diagrams and colors I have found that using a notebook
and a pencil is the best combination for me as nothing is faster the drawing
network diagram by hand, and nothing is faster in changing colors then using
many pens...

For each Major topic I have learned I have opened a new shit of paper and
when finished I have left 4 blank pages before opening a new topic.

Last but not least, Each sunday I have read my notes from cover to cover,
making sure I understand each note, and this was a great way to commit stuff
into my mind.

HTH, and good luck,
Dan
