"When you take notes, you understand things better. You express ideas in your own words. You condense thoughts and expand tangents. You reflect on how to integrate concepts into your life. When you share your notes, you create value. You build relationships. You learn from what others share."

Geek to Live: Take great notes - Capture tools - Lifehacker

The ever-useful Lifehacker provides a few different methods for taking notes.  I like this notation for capturing action items after a meeting:

[ ] A square checkbox denotes a to do item
( ) A circle indicates a task to be assigned to someone else
* An asterisk is an important fact
? A question mark goes next to items to research or ask about
