Cornell The basic principle behind the Cornell Note Taking Method is that your notes end up serving multiple purposes: The actual notes from the session so that you have a record of information you may have forgotten A summary of what was covered in the session so you can easily search A set of cues and questions that serve as a mini study guide The template is shown below. Note that ” denotes inches, but I’ve also included approximate percentages to give you an idea of where the lines should be drawn. Taking notes in this way is a multi step process. Record - During the session, the Note Taking Column is used to record meaningful facts. I prefer using my normal outline method here, but you can use whatever note taking method you’re most comfortable with Reduce – After the session (or during), use the Cue Column to summarize facts and questions from the notes you’ve taken Recite – Cover the note taking column, so that only the Cue Column is visible. Some people recommend using your hand, I prefer to fold the page. Using the Cue Words and Questions, in your own words recite the note. During this stage, you may find you’ve forgotten to include a main point in the Cue Column – go ahead and add it. Reflect – Look at main points (usually in the Cue Column) and reflect on them. This is a good time to try and draw connections with other things you’ve learned. I also like to use the Resource Boxes in my Note Taking Column for this purpose. Review – As discussed in my previous article about the forgetting curve, over time we tend to forget what we’ve learned. On a weekly basis, spend some time reviewing the Summary and Cue Column. As needed, refer to the Note Taking Column and resource boxes to keep the information fresh.the forgetting curve A quick note, I prefer to actually put the summary at the top of the page rather than the bottom, but I’ve included it at the bottom in the template because that’s how it’s traditionally done in this system.

Flowbased Flow based note taking is a brand new concept to me that I’ve been learning about through Scott Young’s fantastic course, Learn More, Study Less. While I’m no longer in college, I don’t think we ever stop learning, so I’m always looking for new ways to improve my own learning process.Learn More, Study Less Flow-Based Note Taking reminds me a lot of mind mapping. The primary goal of Flow-Based Notetaking is to improve the amount you learn and absorb during the session itself. The end goal is to improve your own understanding of the material, and the notes end up being a byproduct that can be useful to jog your memory during study sessions – but not to serve as a detailed study guide with all the specific included. The general process for Flow-Based Note Taking is: In Flow-Based Note Taking you write down major ideas rather than paragraphs and sentences Once you have some ideas written down, you connect them by drawing few arrows, pictures and diagrams to connect them to each other as related concepts. As the image above demonstrates, this ends up looking like a bit of a mindmap – and forces you to think about how ideas are related while you’re learning them. One thing I did when I was using this method while reading books was I went ahead and added in concepts outside the book as well – ideas from other video lectures, books, or even experiences I had in real life that came to mind as I was drawing my Flow Based notes.

Outline A lot of people try to write down paragraph style verbatim what they’re learning – whether in lecture form, watching videos, or perhaps even through books. Rather than taking straight paragraph notes, I use an outline system which looks like this: Top of page: Date, General Topic of Notes, Course/Book/Video (as applicable) Primary Topic – Secondary Topic Detailed paragraph notes in bullet point form as needed – Secondary Topic Detailed paragraph notes in bullet point form as needed For a long time, this was my preferred method of note taking. Compared to more traditional paragraph style notes, this made my notes more skimmable for quick review. It also forced me to think about what I was learning as I was learning it to appropriate group items together. I made one modification to the traditional way of outlining: during particularly dense sessions, I would leave 4-6 lines space in the middle of my outlines to allow for my own personal “resource boxes.” I’d draw a box in that space, and put anything especially important in there – insights, important quotes from a book, an important anecdote from a video etc. Sometimes I would just summarize or even put thought provoking questions there.
