      That's one of the things I've noticed about startups during YC. The founders who take notes are more likely to succeed. Jessica and I had dinner with Brian Chesky last summer, and he was taking notes during dinner.

          Been following yc guys for a while and realized the simplicity of advice you are giving, getting advice is overrated for sure but still appreciate it.

          Just got up from lunch. What’s your favorite note taking method?

          What if your notes are garnished with doodles? *Asking for a friend*

          i think listening and writing should not happen at same time. I would listen fully with all attention and let my phone record the conversation for post processing.

          Now have you guys noticed if there's a difference in result based on HOW the notes are taken?
