Start with something worth showing.
A sketch can explain what a paragraph can’t. A photograph can hold a detail that would otherwise disappear. The writing gives it context.
Let the evidence do some talking.
When numbers help tell the story, give them labels, context, and a source. When they don’t, leave them out.
A chart should answer a question.

Leave with one useful thing.
A decision to try. A question to sit with. A different way to see something familiar. The next note can start there.
Make the point. Give it room.
THE THOUGHT I’M TAKING WITH ME
One idea, made clear. That’s enough for a good note.
