If someone is telling me something important, I start taking notes wether they tell me to or not, and then aggressively stop them and make them repeat themselves on each point until I make sure I have everything written down.
I’m a very fast listener but I write very slowly and can’t listen and write at the same time. Got so much grief over that during my school years. Everyone including myself assumed I just didn’t like writing and that’s why I never had proper notes to study from but it was good old monotropism rendering me unable to multitask.
