Sometimes, why are some hard-earned materials not used? It is very likely that the prepared materials are not presented in a clear and understandable form.

The author invited Mr. Miyaka Bangyan, a former diplomat. When he participated in the program, he used a palm-sized notebook and wrote down several lines, but only one or two sheets of paper.

After reading his works, the author knows that he usually uses a notebook to record all kinds of information effectively. When you encounter interesting information or think of any idea, you will use the method of "instant freezing" to take out your notebook and write it down immediately. There is even a notebook to take notes on the pillow.

Teacher Miyasaka Bangyan also pays great attention to the main points when he speaks. When using PPT to explain, he also adheres to the principles of "one PPT only talks about one main point" and "don't use too much text on the PPT page".

He said: "The most important thing is to make what you say powerful. There are too many materials prepared at hand, so I can't use my spoken English well when I speak, and my words are soft. "

In addition, his secret lies not only in paying attention to the content, but also in the concept of time when speaking. Adjust the length of your conversation with the principle of "audience first"

Another guest is Dr. Ye He Su Yang, a doctor of psychology at Meiji University. He also likes to record with postcards. In an interview, each of his conversation items was presented on a piece of cardboard, each card was divided into two or three lines, and the main points were written in larger font. In addition, he never uses the back, which saves the trouble of turning the front and back. Because the content of each card is separated by items, it is easier to establish the overall structure of the dialogue by sorting the cards, which is also helpful in flashback. The paper used to make cards is also his favorite, and he bought it specially, which is also one of the pleasures of taking notes.

"Memo" is not only to write down what you want to say in advance, but also to record the information you learned from the other party during the conversation. Such a memorandum can also be used as a reference for the future.

The author's suggestion is in line with my daily habits.

Because I can't take my notebook everywhere, I will write down some important things with my mobile phone memo for future reference.

A lot of information I got in my conversation with the guests is fragmentary, but it is very important for the guests.

Writing these things down is actually thanking each other for sharing these important things with you.

Let the other person feel that you can remember the simplicity he once talked about, and this alone can quickly narrow the distance between the two sides.

When I was a reporter, every time I interviewed politicians, I always recorded all the anecdotes that were not directly related to political work and could not be written in news articles, as the material for a comprehensive understanding of politicians.

With the feeling that you only have one chance to listen, remembering what the other party told you will help you build a trust relationship with the other party.

Therefore, the author said, "making a memo of the information obtained in the conversation may come in handy in future communication." As long as you have this awareness, you will naturally take more notes.
