how i take notes 📚 | materials i use and tips to write fast notes

[Music] hey guys in today's video i'm going to be talking about how to take notes and my tips and tricks for it start off by talking about what notebooks i like to use especially for note-taking so one of my favorite notebooks of all time is the kokoya campus binder notebook what i love about this is that it's both a binder and a notebook so you can just take out the pages whenever you want but it also have a spine like a notebook you may need to buy the kokoya campus loose leaf paper in addition but

i think it's definitely worth the money my second favorite notebook of all time is the kokoya campus notebook you have probably seen these notebooks a lot in anime if you're into that but in general i really like it because it's really small and easy to carry around i also think that the spine of the notebook itself is pretty strong and i highly recommend my other favorite notebook is the muji notebook i think that the moji notebook is very similar to the kokoya campus notebook in terms of its benefits next we've got the kokoya campus spiral

notebook i think that these are definitely useful during fast lectures or if you want to write really fast notes highly recommend it i also like to take notes on my ipad but i will be talking about this in a later video i'm going to next be talking about the materials that i like to use when i'm taking my notes so typically i will use the hit lab pencil case i love to use the eyeliner highlighters if you're into stationery you know how popular these products are they come in a variety of colors and what i

love about it is that it has two sides one side of it is for highlighting and there's another side that you can use to write with in general the quality of it is great and i highly recommend next we have the pentel energel pen if you follow me on tik tok you know how much i like to talk about these they're my favorite pens of all time and highly recommend i also like to use the muji pen and i've talked about these a couple of times i really like the minimalistic style of it and it

definitely has a really good flow these are also super popular in the stationery community so i definitely think it's worth it next i like to use the tombow fudanoski brush pens for my titles i highly recommend these for beginners and especially if you're starting off with calligraphy i also use these for titles but i highly recommend for more advanced calligraphy writers okay so now on to the actual note-taking process for the notes that i'm going to be taking today i'm just going to be using the kakoya campus notebook paper i won't always use these i'll

try my best to switch between materials okay so now for the title of my notes i really like to use the fudanoski brush pen and i'll go in and write my title in a calligraphy format if you're watching this video and you don't really have experience with calligraphy don't worry i'm going to make a video soon about titles and headers you can do without calligraphy or if you want to learn how to do it i will definitely make a video about that since this video is about how i take notes i typically like to go

with a calligraphy title that it definitely adds a fancy factor to my notes and it just enhances the whole thing a lot of people ask me about how i write my titles during a fast lecture i will typically first write down everything in pen and when i go home i will add in the title and extra details next i will take a myliner highlighter and i'll just highlight the side of the title we'll occasionally add something else to the side okay so on to the actual writing portion of my notes this is just a time

lapse of my notes but i'm just going to be talking about my format and just tips in general i will typically do is for a subtitle i will write out the word and then i'll highlight it using my myliner highlighter and under that subtitle i will start writing in the actual content of what i'm learning typically what works for me is the bullet point system i really don't like to write in long paragraphs and i will occasionally use different symbols such as arrows lines and circles to signify something that's important in the material i have

tried multiple other techniques such as the cornell technique but that didn't really help me out personally so i just like to use a normal bullet point system a lot of you have asked me how do i take pretty notes during a fast lecture to be honest it really doesn't take that much skill or effort to take pretty notes during a fast lecture personally i learned a lot through practice and like i mentioned before i will write everything in pen at school and then when i'm at home i will add in the extra details such as

the calligraphy title and highlighting the subtitles but because i'm at home and taking online school it has been really easy for me to just sit down and relax and take time with my notes in terms of the actual content of the notes that i take i try my best not to write down every single detail or every single word that the teacher is saying rather i will summarize the points and take out extra words that don't really matter in the content and over the years i've just learned how to write really quickly and if you're

struggling to write quickly during a fast lecture i think that it really just comes down to how much you practice it's really not that hard you will get better at it as time goes on i also like to use a different color marker or fineliner pen to symbolize the vocab words or if it's a really fast lecture and i really just don't have time to take out all of my colored pens what i will do is write everything in pen and i will go back in and highlight or underline all of the vocabulary terms i

like to typically use a color theme or i like to use different colors because personally i was able to distinguish between different points more easily when i used different colors i also highly recommend that you use some sort of color system or write in maybe a pen and a pencil to differentiate between vocab terms and the normal material the notes that i'm taking right now didn't really require any diagrams or any math equations or anything like that but i'm just going to go ahead and explain what i would do if i had any diagrams or

charts that i had to use in my notes typically what i will do is just take out some eyeliners or some fine liners and i will draw a vague picture of the image if it's a more complicated class such as anatomy which requires looking at diagrams i will sometimes print out a sheet and i will cut the pictures and i will add it to my notes but usually for harder classes with more diagrams i like to tend towards using my ipad like i stated before i will talk about that in a later video if i

have any math equations or any numbers that i have to write out i will try my best to use different colors or what i will do is i will take my fine liner pen or my my liner and i will box that formula this will just make it way easier and when you're looking back to your notes it will just be nice and neat speaking of revising notes i'm going to spend just a couple of minutes talking about that a lot of people ask me why i spend so much time taking pretty notes and the

reason why is it just makes revising way more easier it just makes studying way more interesting and fun and you can add your own creativity and twist to it i'm just going to show some examples of my notes so that you get an idea of how they typically look here are some of my math notes and you can see the format that i typically use and the things that i talked about once in a while i will step out of this comfort zone and try something else that's new but that's my typical format thank you
