I'd better learn how to take notes, then I can do so on the other things I intend to study.

Will update this post as I go...
I am reminded that my method in Uni conformed to the adage "a means of transferring information from the notes of the lecturer to the notes oof the student without passing through the minds of either."
"Mind maps can be created using Microsoft Word but there are plenty of apps available that may make it easier. .... mind mapping software" ACTION: look for some.
It wants me to write on my textbooks!
But since they're in PDF... I need to get to know how to add highlights, comments, and so on. So I try to do so, and discover I'm logged into Adobe as Dave! ACTION: fix that!
Done. Note to self, I had to change my password, and it's now longer than it used to be.
I now know how to highlight and to add comments. To add text, I need the paid version. ACTION look into that?
Plans start at £13.14/mo incl. VAT.
Voice notes? Not usually my preferred method, but.. "there are free software packages available on the Internet. A good example is Audacity, which offers the tools for recording and editing your material." https://www.audacityteam.org/ ACTION: find it, test it.
It comes from "Muse Hub" and looks like a very complete program! Will it do a quick voice note? Or would I be better using Google on my phone?
It'll do a quick WAV and "export" it to my OU files area. Good enough.
A good page on notes for languages, mainly about sounds. Since all I plan on doing here is Latin and Ancient Greek, that probably won't be relevant, but might help if I start taking DuoLingo more seriously.

Overall, not much there I didn't already know, but some tools to look up.
