This book was very easy to use as it contains exercises to work through which really helped me with my business as I often need to take lengthy notes in meetings which also meant my notes were easier to read afterwards.
After taking shorthand in school and having a hard time using it, this is a great alternative. It is simpler and easy to remember. It is great for business meetings, letter taking and for college lectures. A great book!
This method of speed writing is easy to learn, so you will use it! Even if you learn only some of the methods included, you will be able to take faster notes and understand them.This method of speed writing uses short cuts to write words, it does not use symbols like short hand. Because the short cuts are logical, you will be able to understand your notes when you need to refer to them later. Also, you will not need to finish the entire course before you can start using the skills. I incorporate what I have already learned in my note taking, so notes are easier and faster to write, but I still have several lessons to finish in the book. In other words, you will begin benefiting from the course after the first lesson!
I enjoyed reading the steps of precise and concise speed writing. This will be particularly helpful to me in future educational exams when answering questions and or writing a short essay on topics as required. Key points being the importance of communicating an objective, proof reading and grammar. The themes of describing, evaluating and debate followed by persuasion are all worth using as structures for writing from note taking. I recommend the read as worthwhile and refreshing, a good confidence builder for the crucial workplace skill of business writing and personal use necessities, especially for formal letter writing. The topics covered will be put to valuable use in my future processing and note taking of information.
Been looking for a quick and easy way to take notes at meetings and when I have my regular meetings with my boss and need to make sure I have made a note of everything.Also helps when I am on the phone and need to take notes of things being discussed, so I have a record for later.Always wished I had learnt Pitman or something like that in my early years, shorthand is a great skill to have. Hopefully this Speed Writing will be the next best thing.
This book has really helped me as with my business I often need to take lengthy messages whilst talking to customers on the phone. Reading this book means I can do this more efficiently and accurately.
It seemed like a decent method until I saw how word prefixes and suffixes are handled.Using subscripts and superscripts is hard to understand and confusing.Subscripts and superscripts are best used for mathematical notation not for shorthand in my opinion.I am using the EasyScript speedwriting system and it seems to work better for me.
This book has proven extremely helpful in some classes I've been taking. I could only write fast enough in the past to get the basic jist of the lecture, but with this system, I have the option of taking down the entire lecture word for word. The system is easy, intuitive and effective above all.
