What comes out: If you erase the note, the writing will be completed.

A self-proclaimed note-taking fanatic who has used hundreds of note-taking apps and hundreds of notebooks.
The story of a novelist who has tried everything with notes.

When you think of 'notes', you probably think of a piece of paper scribbled down with a pen in your hand, or a disorganized file scribbled down in a basic notepad on your phone.
We rarely think deeply about notes, which are simple and easy memory aids.
Because it serves the role of remembering something on behalf of others, it is deleted or forgotten after a short period of use.


However, novelist Kim Jung-hyuk did not regard notes as mere memory aids; he used them to capture the fragments of thoughts floating in his head, connect them, and build his own world.
I view notes as a primary tool, not a secondary one, and instead of simply a memory aid, I try to make them play a more active role, organizing thoughts and adding to my imagination.
In "The Subtle Art of Note-Taking," the author explores the diverse possibilities of note-taking by varying the methods, tools, and situations in which it is taken.
For example, I try taking notes while walking in the dark, I try using hundreds of little-known note-taking programs or applications, I try taking notes in the form of drawings, photos, or videos instead of text, I try organizing notes into tables, and I even draw maps with notes.
Having done almost everything that can be done with notes, the author has noticed that notes have a unique 'subtle charm'.

Take note of anything
If you stick with the notes, you will become

Someone might ask:
“What’s the point of taking notes?” “It’s just scribbling, what’s the point?” But the author asks back.
“Wouldn’t it be a bigger waste not to take notes? Wouldn’t it be a bigger waste to just blow the idea?”
This book is a friendly and thorough answer to questions that question the effectiveness and role of notes.

According to the author, first of all, the notes tell us who we are.
Because the notes contain everything about who you are, what you want to catch from the things floating around in your head, how you want to keep the pieces of thoughts you catch, and what you want to create from the barn of ideas you fill.
What you want, what you think is important, and what you feel sensitively are all completely reflected in it.
So, taking notes is a simple, no-nonsense way to get to know yourself.


Furthermore, notes can be useful materials for building your own world when ideas that were floating around in your head but difficult to explain are taken as notes.
Fun things happen that would have been impossible if you hadn't captured them in a note.
This effect is also refreshing when you think of the author's brilliant achievements, which have been loved by many readers for creating a unique world of works that look at familiar things in a new way and express them differently.


If you're seeking a fresh start in your current position or dreaming of a new you, why not start taking notes? As the author says, the moment you start taking notes, the world will change, things you hadn't seen before will become visible, and things you knew will become new.
The author says that his writing also started from notes, so it will definitely help you get started as well.
