She came into my training center, ashen-faced, asking if we taught shorthand. We did ... but when she found out that the quickest course took 40 hours to learn and the shorthand could only be done with pencil (or pen) and paper, she burst into tears.Over a coffee, she shared that she was terrified she was about to lose her job as a medical administrator.She was responsible for taking notes during multi-disciplinary team meetings composed of all kinds of health professionals (surgeons, physicians, nurses, nutritionists, physiotherapists, etc.). She had to type the notes on a laptop, while the team members were talking - then produce the notes to be circulated to everyone the next day!That would be a tough job even for a 1950s 160-wpm shorthand-taker.For a harassed administrator with tons of other work to do, bucket loads of stress on her shoulders, and multiple people demanding her attention, it was an impossible feat. Her hands shook with the pressure when she tried to type the notes that the medics were calling out to her. She gave up completely when they started talking over each other.She was on anti-anxiety medicine from her doctor.Her Line Manager had called her in to ask if she was up to the job. He said she was starting to look like a rabbit in a car's headlamps.She was at the end of her tether.Budgets had been slashed, there were no secretaries to take the notes; security/confidentiality was tight, there was no option to write 'proper' shorthand on paper that could possibly be lost, she had to use the encrypted laptop; jobs were scarce, there were other people waiting in the wings for her to screw up, to take her job.What could I do to help?I had learned shorthand back in high school (when I had wanted to be a reporter - I ended up in PR, journalism's little brother!). And I taught several shorthand systems in our training center. But Angela didn't have 40 hours spare to learn, and she wasn't able to use pen and paper during meetings. Traditional shorthand wasn't going to help her.I rang a friend who taught journalism. Surely they had faster ways of learning shorthand?No. They didn't even teach it anymore. They advised students to try to find courses in community colleges. Most couldn't find any and generally tried and failed to learn from books. But he also said something interesting ...Lots of reporters had switched to using electronic devices for note-taking. He said a method of taking fast notes on an device or laptop was sorely needed.I set to work to invent something new.My first system - created to prevent Angela's nervous breakdown - wasn't perfect but it enabled her to type quickly and produce comprehensive meeting notes without it taking up her whole day. It eased her stress and saved her job. Her efficiency and serenity also impressed - and surprised! - her colleagues and managers.I worked on the system over the next two years, working out kinks, refining and honing down the method to the four simple steps that it is today.It is now used by:Reporters when out in the field - and then back at their desks, transcribing audio recordings faster than their colleagues could believe was possible! They even use it in a way I hadn't thought of ... pen and paper! They aren't allowed to take devices into courtrooms, so they simply use electronic shorthand on paper, then type it up when they get back to their desks.College/University Students - taking notes during lectures helps keep them awake and alert. Note-taking is known to improve concentration and focus. It also gives them valuable tools for revising. Many use the Cornell system with electronic shorthand, to further improve understanding/recall.High School Students - this method helps in schools, too.Online course takers - taking notes improves understanding and memory. It's too easy to just watch/listen to a course and not be actively involved. The act of jotting down important points really helps with learning.Business people - lawyers report their satisfaction at being able to take extensive instructions from clients; entrepreneurs love having the ability to jot down ideas as fast as their brains come up with them!; attendees at conferences and trainings find that they are very popular with colleagues, because they have extensive notes of all the good stuff.Do you wish you knew how to do shorthand?We all have smartphones, tablets, and/or laptops now and those squiggles don't transfer to electronic devices. Yet the ability to do digital note-taking has become more and more important to many of us.Perhaps you need to take fast, accurate notes for your job; maybe you're a student who would love to be able to get down more of what a lecturer/professor is saying during lectures; or you could be one of the thousands of people who struggle with their memory or concentration. The ability to take notes quickly and accurately is a valuable skill. It's brilliant for journalists and students, of course, but it is also a huge bonus to anyone who enjoys studying online courses, attending webinars, or just jotting down ideas. It is also a vital skill for professionals who need to take instructions from clients. It makes the workload easier and the stress lighter. While traditional shorthand takes many, many hours to learn, this course in electronic shorthand will take you just couple of hours of study and practice to become comfortable with the system. Then it's just of matter of adding to your own personal abbreviations dictionary (included in the course) and building your speed naturally as you use your new skill. It's fun, useful, and great for the ego to learn this skill because you'll be thrilled you picked it up so quickly.This course is designed to help you learn quickly and easily and enable you to take notes on any device that has a keyboard or onscreen keyboard.It is taught via four main 'Super Simple Rules' with activities, quizzes, and dictations throughout. There are also tons of downloadable materials in the form of worksheets, dictionaries, and PDFs. Unlike traditional shorthand methods, there isn't a whole new language to learn. My digital note-taking method uses the alphabet - which you already know if you're reading this! It is a little like the 'text' language so many people use on smartphones, where they leave the vowels out. But try reading back some text language, it's like gobbledy-gook! That's not something you want to risk if you are taking important notes. This method teaches simple principles of which letters to leave out and when, then adds in other principles to make sure that you will be able to read back everything you write using digital note-taking, even if you come back to it six months or a year or more later. Even master shorthand practitioners can't always do that! You'll love it! Enrolling in this course will: Enable you to learn a new skill - quickly and easily.Give you the ability to write notes on an electronic device MUCH more quickly than you could using the standard alphabet.Enable you to increase your note-taking speed and accuracy as you use the skill in your everyday life.Improve your productivity - being able to take all the notes you need to and knowing where to find them can ease stress, improve concentration, and give you better recall and understanding.
