Note taking

Taking meaningful notes in Quin

1. Simplicity is key: Your note-taking system should be easy to maintain. A quick, imperfect note is always better than a perfect note never written.
2. Forward-thinking approach: View note-taking as the beginning of your next interaction, not a chore. Each note is an investment in your future conversation.
3. Capture the unique: Focus on writing down information you're unlikely to remember naturally.

Understanding your relationships

Quin helps you approach note-taking by considering three key spectra:

1. Relationship Depth

• For new connections, capture foundational information
• For long-term relationships, focus on nuanced, evolving details

2. Interaction Frequency

• Frequent contacts: Note subtle changes and updates
• Infrequent contacts: Capture significant life developments

3. Relationship Type

• Professional: Work achievements, career moves
• Personal: Hobbies, family updates, personal interests
