And then there are the psychological ones, which teach you how to get it done without mental breakdowns and before your supervisor or publisher starts refusing to move the deadline once more. The first teaches the formal requirements: style, structure or how to quote correctly. The available books fall roughly into two categories. Consequently, these “written pieces” are also what most self-help books for academics or study guides focus on, but very few give guidance for the everyday note-taking that takes up the biggest chunk of our writing. At first glance, that makes sense: these are the tasks that cause the most anxiety and with which we struggle the longest. If writing is discussed, the focus lies almost always on the few exceptional moments where we write a lengthy piece, a book, an article or, as students, the essays and theses we have to hand in. Writing plays such a central role in learning, studying and research that it is surprising how little we think about it. Every intellectual endeavour starts with a note. We write down not only those things we fear we won’t remember otherwise, but also the very things we try to memorise. Students write when they take an exam, but the first thing they do to prepare even for an oral examination is to grab pen and paper. We write when we want to organise our thoughts and when we want to exchange ideas with others. We write when we need to remember something, be it an idea, a quote or the outcome of a study. And writing doesn’t necessarily mean papers, articles or books, but everyday, basic writing.
