Describes a method of maintaining and using useful notes, kicked me off on the Personal Knowledge Management journey.

Describes the CODE system, where a notetaker deliberately - C - Captures - Keeps what resonates, - O - Organizes - Saves information for smart reference later, - D - Distills - Summarizes key points of information, and - E - Expresses - Shares their work with the world.

A key takeaway is that Tiago mentions that one should not be a "taker" of notes as much as they are a "giver" of notes.
