Take notes on your cyber studies.

• Taking notes helps you learn.
• Other people will keep happily answering your questions if you don’t ask them the same question twice.
• Re-read your old notes periodically. See if it sparks any connections or ideas.

Experiment with different methods for organizing.

Don’t mix personal and business notes.

One sample note-taking strategy:

• A single digital scratchpad for yourself.
  • Digital is great if you want to be able to search across all your notes easily to find stuff later.
• Some notes you’ll share with others based on team or project.
  • Be thoughtful about visibility.
• For notes you take about your job on an employer’s systems, periodically review or purge old notes for the sake of security.
  • Employers usually have a data retention policy you need to follow.
