If you asked me in high school or college why I took notes, I would have told you it was so I had something to study with after whatever presentation I listened to. Of course this is true, it’s helpful to have something to review after a lecture or video. However, I’ve since learned with my own students that while note-taking is good for review, it’s perhaps even more valuable for the learning taking place in the moment.

I met Michael yesterday. I was in a Kroger grocery store on the south side of Conroe, TX. I do book signings in Kroger stores every two weeks. I love it and I meet the neatest people and have the most wonderful discussions. Michael was sweeping floors as part of his job.

He had a light in his eyes that said he was a fighter. At one point the store manager came by and I mentioned Michael to him and related a bit of our conversation. The manager came over closer and started telling me about Michael. His story, as you might imagine, has its up and downs. He told me that a few weeks ago he caught Michael pushing the broom upside down. He stopped and corrected him and told him it would probably work better if he turned it over. Michael looked down and seemed shocked, and said, “Well, I wonder how it got like that?” He said Michael has been better the last week particularly but his prognosis is not good. I asked Michael what he thought might have triggered the condition and he told me “Sugar.” He said that he had been a sugar addict all his life, plus he had also been a drinker, which of course means more sugar. He has
