So even if you\u2019ve taken lots of notes by the time you sit down to write, you still haven\u2019t <em>thought about<\/em> or <em>developed<\/em> your argument. You only do that when you sit in front of your blank screen\u2014and <em>that\u2019s<\/em> what intimidates you, not the writing itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: As one writer points out, the blank screen may also terrify you because <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/unnerved-writer\/how-to-get-over-your-fear-of-the-blank-page-forever-5e9ac7a62855\">you\u2019re afraid your writing will be terrible<\/a>\u2014in other words, that you\u2019ll fail. However, in <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-magic-of-thinking-big\/\"><em>The Magic of Thinking Big<\/em><\/a>, David J. Schwartz contends that <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-magic-of-thinking-big\/chapter-10#action-cures-fear\">you can destroy this fear by <em>acting<\/em><\/a>\u2014in other words, by writing anyway.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Ahrens argues that <strong>by making you write at every stage, the slip-box system moves this thinking work far earlier in the process<\/strong>\u2014so by the time you face the blank screen, you\u2019ve already thought extensively about what you\u2019re going to say and no longer feel intimidated by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Some critics contend that Ahrens overstates how easy writing a manuscript will be if you use the slip-box system. They argue that <em>How to Take Smart Notes<\/em> itself demonstrates the slip-box system\u2019s pitfalls, describing the book as weakly written due to its repetitiveness and misrepresentation of its research.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahrens contends that the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/write-down-your-thoughts\/\">externalizing your thoughts<\/a> via writing facilitates critical thinking and ultimately results in better ideas for three main reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-the-slip-box-method-is-the-best-way-to-take-notes\">Why the Slip-Box Method is the Best Way to Take Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.&nbsp; You think as you write<\/strong>\u2014writing things down at every stage helps you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/develop-ideas\/\">develop your ideas<\/a>. For example, writing a literature note forces you to think critically about an author\u2019s argument because you have to restate their ideas in your own words.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Writing your thoughts down frees up brainpower to focus on other ideas<\/strong>. As Ahrens explains, we have a finite amount of brainpower available for focusing on things. Moreover, even if you<em> <\/em>deliberately stop focusing on something, it still takes up some brainpower. This is because of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-zeigarnik-effect\/\">Zeigarnik effect<\/a>: Your brain will work on unfinished problems until it\u2019s done. But your brain treats the process of writing as a method of finishing a task\u2014so if you write your thoughts down, your brain will regard the task as finished, so it will stop focusing on it and free up brainpower for what you need to focus on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. By converting your thoughts into a physical format, you gain the physical distance necessary to critically analyze them<\/strong>. According to Ahrens, your brain is great at picking up on patterns and contradictions <em>visually<\/em>\u2014so when you <em>look at<\/em> your thoughts, you\u2019re more likely to trigger an original insight. For example, you might notice that you contradict yourself in two evergreen notes and create a third note resolving that contradiction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this way, you circumvent your brain\u2019s tendency to work in heuristics, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/mental-shortcuts\/\">mental shortcuts<\/a>: Writing your thoughts down forces you to clearly explain how you reached your conclusion and prevents you from jumping to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the best way to take notes?
