- Writing notes efficiently can save time by using symbols, abbreviations, and organization. Common symbols include * for important points, for causes/results, and / for increases/decreases. Abbreviations can omit vowels or use the first few letters of a word. Omitting unnecessary words like articles and pronouns also makes notes more concise. Organizing notes with headings, underlining, and indentation helps with understanding later.
