take note

Heed this carefully

Take note means to pay attention or make a mental record of something important.

It often carries a warning or emphasis: Take note: the deadline is Friday.

To take note of something is to notice and remember it: She took note of his hesitation.

The phrase can also mean literally writing something down, though this sense is less common than the figurative.
