I keep hearing more and more that the best way to take notes is to listen.

Do any of you follow this tactic? Perhaps limit yourself to 1 page of notes? How do you filter out the unnecessary stuff and only write down what will help you?

Well there's the problem. Just do selective note taking; you know, the important stuff.
