As we mentioned in the video, aesthetic notes might not be the most useful way to study, but at least they're pretty to look at right? ;) We're working on a Note-taking Tips that are ACTUALLY Helpful video, so make sure you're subscribed to catch it when it releases!
My tip is to get a notebook for notes that's not meant to be aesthetically pleasing. Basically you take notes as needed during class and make it as informational as you can. Then when you have time, transfer your "ugly" notes into your "pretty" notebook and make it as aesthetic as you want. Repetition helps with learning and you'll have the neatness you want.
Oh my gosh, you are so smart!!! I want to make my notes all aesthetic and cute, but I also want them to be packed with information. My teacher will usually have us watch a video, then pause and tell us what to write down. Often times, its just a sentence or so, but I want all the information their giving me so I just write write write and there isn't time for aesthetics or cuteness or neatness. But this is genius! I can have all the information I want, all the cuteness I want, and all the neatness I want without the time constraint!!! Thank you, I'm so doing this!!!
It's a shame that aesthetic note taking doesn't really have a place in the classroom- things are just too fast paced, I usually couldn't even get all of it down when I just took normal notes!
Handwriting is key! You can leave gaps for titles if you really want them bit I usually just write it in a gel pen or highlight it. It looks aesthetic and still is effective.
This video might be useful for revision in my opinion. Making up for the messy notes taken at classes. I might use this tips for revision only because I'm still in elementary school and I might get in trouble for this colorful notes in notebooks.
you can use an ipad/ samsung galaxy tab with apple pencil/ pen then it's easier to make them prettier because you can easily rewrite/move text. then you print them on physical paper
@@ztryx yeah like me because everyone says my notes are clean even though there not aesthetic or highline I just use blue pens for answer and balck for questions sometimes only I highlight or use crayons.
my recommendations: - practice handwriting consistancy (make all your letters look the same and tidy) - look for inspiration - and find stationery that works for you hope this helps xxx
Its not that hard but just keep some consistency when writing your words, don't stress out or exaggerate just go with the flow ( and practice :D )@ekune3527
pretty notes do help us increase the mood to study, but it's impossible to do the pretty notes... because my lecturer finished two chapters in two hours class, can you imagine how fast she is 😭
I saw another comment say this, get an extra notebook that you can write as messy (but still legible) notes as you want and get it as info packed as you need. Then transfer the most important/useful info into the actual set notebook. You can even use the extra notebook for all subjects because you won't be using it for revision / studying. Then get a new one when it fills up and feel good getting rid of it because you already have all the notes you need.
Same ~ people are funny when they say "take another notebook and make them more pretty later" while I didn't even had enough time to study on night with all the projects/tests etc I had 🥲 feels like they are all in small schools where they have alot of free time
Write fast notes first with pencil (in class) and then go over them later and write them neater and more aesthetically pleasing in a second notebook. This helps with memorization and pleasing your mind with neater notes
@@forrestwatcher To some people it is but if you want to revise for the concept/class you’re taking notes in, it’s best to rewrite them aesthetically. - If you want them aesthetic
@@klebb.5536 Okay it's been a while but I still stand by my point Rewriting your notes is pointless and time-consuming. You can revise your notes a lot more efficiently by highlighting important parts, watching courses, making a revision list (shortening em), etcetera. Aesthetic notes are not the point - learning your material efficiently is. You'll have a lot of notes during the school year. Realistically you won't have the motivation to rewrite them every single time. I'm an artist, I have to work outside of school, and I want some free time. Everyone does. And this useless learning process is way too overcomplicated for you to have any
@@forrestwatcher people like me who have certain conditions that make them get distracted easily tend to be uninspired with boring, messy handwriting. Rewriting your notes and ''reorganizing aesthetically'' can also help with recalling them on later dates because if you wrote them more than once it's like you did an extra study session, and they will be stored in your long-term memory. Just because it didn't/ doesn't work for you doesn't mean it is ''pointless'' because it is not. People learn differently, I've been doing this for years, and it has helped me a lot from c, d, f's to almost straight A's. And it doesn't take hours as you said, everyone wants some free time of course, but I'm pretty sure a sacrifice or two won't hurt. And efficiency looks different in different people. Watching courses, highlighting and revision lists are the bomb, but just because you use these and don't have time, effort, or your free time to spare for a different tactic doesn't mean you should bring down others who might benefit from trying it. #NOT COOL
When people say 'pretty notes don't make your grades better'. It doesn't really but it does give me more motivation to study, do homework, focus more in lessons etc. It doesn't really make a difference if the notes look good or not but idk it just makes it seem way different that it is
@@muskaankumar1304 well yes, he has a point, but they motivate me so if you would let me do my thing, it would be nice. I have gotten used to the way I take notes and I finish my notes before my classmates actually. I'm not waiting my time as it motivates me to study. And how am I supposed to study without motivation?
It really is an art form and labor of love to take decent and fast notes, especially when a professor/teacher drones on and you can't hear key words. I do a lot of editing, writing, and research now and I'm grateful for the skills I learned, cuz they make a huge difference. Here are some things I've learned and want to share: -Make good use of visual notetaking (Jetpens also has a blog on it). -Use bullet points and short words (haaaah) -Make important words stand out in a different style, like bubble letters or bold/colored in. -For definitions, I used arrows pointing to the answer. For story rough drafts, I color-code character names with a highlighter when they are speaking and write their dialogue. In final drafts, they are formatted for easy proof-reading. Small page flags or mini sticky notes are perfect to add ideas when I reread a scene or bookmark a page to go back to. -Draw a box and add a star around an important note or assignment to remember for that subject. Dates are a must if you want to remember what day you took those notes so you don't get confused and study the wrong material =D... -I always wrote those important assignments in the top right of the page so I knew exactly where they were when I flipped through notes. -Think about the style of the notebook, especially if your hands are getting trapped by the coil. Think about the type of pen or pencil you use. I write with gel pens for journaling, but ballpoint for notes, because I can write faster with them. I used to take notes in pencil, but back-to-back graphite is a sad bad idea. And omg that corrector on the end of the pen is beautiful, but it must be hard to refill T_T

Damn- That would be me but instead I would have high hopes for my test results, and then I end up getting a bad score like D+, and then when I actually study and try my best for a next test I get so close to D- 💀
These are all really great tips and ones I wish I'd gotten when I was in college! I really don't have anything to add; I was pretty improvisational with my note-taking. True story, I used to write in all-caps and cursive interchangeably, so I'd do my headers in all-caps so I could quickly scan and find what I was looking for and my notes in cursive to prevent hand strain. Nowadays, I eyeball indents to keep organized, but then again I'm not in school anymore... Oh, wait, I do have something! A lot of these tips go out the window in art studio style classes. Word of advice for those: unless you're specifically told to have a notebook separate from your sketchbook- and you *should* have a sketchbook- use your sketchbook for notes. The juxtaposition of sketches and notes helps you remember stuff for projects and looks really interesting besides. If you don't like your handwriting on the blank page, try sticky notes or a memo pad! Jetpens has them in a variety of sizes and styles, as well as washi tape if you need to make sure they stay in.
This speaks to my soul. When I was a student, I was already definitely obsessed with pretty and organized notes. But as many have said, there's not enough time in real time to do that. What I would do is write down notes as the classes happen and then when I go home, rewite all of it in the way I want it to look. This personally worked as studying, too, since I was taking my time to review and rewrite everything.
It's 2 am here in India 🇮🇳 taking a break from study and just got a notification from JetPens about AESTHETIC NOTE TAKING that I've been wanting for... It's really amazing 💜 Lot's of love to JetPens and everyone!💕
My college notes were useless to others because I wrote them in my own form of shorthand where I used specific words to trigger mental notes. I was also pretty good at memorizing where a particular topic was on a given page (I.e. bottom right, top left), so my notes were uniquely just for me. In the workplace, I tend to use the same method, but take more care to write more neatly now, when I can. If writing is rushed and I want to use as a future cheat sheet, I’ll write out more neatly or type them up and add them to my notebook.
I'm definitely a doodler, I tend to use a lot of embellishments and doodles to fill the page. Mainly because I'm a visual and kinesthetic learner. I have to associate what I'm learning to a drawing and muscle movement.
the easiest way for me to make my notes "pretty" (which is already hard with my terrible handwriting^^) is just to make them digitally. fixing mistakes, moving blocks of text around etc works best digitally plus you got your notes everywhere you go if you save them online
Something I like to add to my notes is to divide different chapters/topics by simple lines And also, redo my notes.. So when I write down notes in class I just write them down and when I have time or need to study for that particular class I redo the ugly note and make it aesthetically pleasing These are just two tips but maybe they help someone :3
I always had 2 books !! One i keep at home and carry the other to school everyday. i actually start studying way before school starts so i have time to start making my notes look pretty !. In my school diary, i write everything down (information,important dates/pages) and after coming back home, I just write them down neatly. Simple as that. If you cant start your notes before, You pretty much have to gather your information abt it (from class or youtube or google), just grab another book and make a minimum aesthetic book. Just use one colour pen (black or blue, black is better) and write down your notes with that. For important vocabulary, Use any other colour pen. Or u can just highight them later. Remember to always highlight at the last and not waste ur time in between. You are making notes to study not for picture-purpose. Anyways, Thats all. Happy studying !
Since last year, where I had to deal with opening files in a computer and listening to the teacher at the same time, I’ve stopped using color on my notes and it’s been great. No more colors that I hate or ripping out pages and wasting time choosing what looks prettier with what. Nowadays I have 4 black pens: a brush for important titles, a thicker one for regular titles, a writing one and a fine one for little notes. If I feel like I have to, I use highlighters and to give contrast I’ll just change the size or the style of my handwriting, which is a great way to make titles pop
Let me help you right there! What I do is completely different. I just take a notebook and write my work in my normal handwriting. After the lecture is over I just add some color highlights and honestly thats the fastest technique to make some colourful notes but I mostly use light colours and just make clouds I dont fill them with colour as Im more of a casual person. I have been using this for a year now and it helped me a lot. One more thing I do while studying is listening to music now yes we do get distracted but I listen to BTS (I cant understand anything so..) and it helps me a lot. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN TECHNIQUE SO YOU BETTER TRY DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES AND THEN YOU WILL FIND THE BEST YOURSELF!👍 best of luck ahead!
omg how can u only have 536k subscribers ur videos are so clear,great quality and i can understand everything u say thank uu jet pens i love this chanell. and i rly needed this video >< love u and thank u
a tip for writing an aesthetic notes is make it whenever your in home or in school on your free time. If the teacher is speaking or writing too fast, just write it doesn't matter if its ugly but you can always recreate it into a beautiful one.
I used to write notes on plain paper but would use a ruler and pencil and mark out 0.5cm lines to rub out later. I did this before university because my teachers were so impressed with my history folder but now I'm at uni, I use Notion because I find it easier with the increased workload.
I used to do the same. Then my friend showed me a hack. You take a loose plain paper and make your horizontal lines with a bright marker and a ruler. Make the lines pretty thick. You can place this under the paper you are writing on and should be able to see the lines and voila you write in straight lines. You now have a template that can be used multiple times so it gets rid of the hassle of drawing lines on each page and erasing them.
Another tip, don't be afraid to use photos! If your notes needs photos to be understandable (like Biology) print a good quality image of what you need and it will very VERY useful
I get how beautiful these notes look but in reality, when I´m taking notes in a class I can´t keep up with color coordinating and underlying neatly. I use a black gel pen and focus on writing down everything my prof. is saying.
One thing that helps a lot is by making notes before class. Usually, the first class, prof usually give syallabus on what to learn, what books they use, some even gave notes. What I did, i make two column. The right column is what I do before the class and the left one is what I added if prof give additional information .
I used to sort of have a system when taking notes during class, but at one point I got teachers that just went through all of it too quickly. So I'd end up having to leave lots of space to go back to them later, when I am on my own with the presentation the teacher used. (Sadly, some of the teachers don't leave good notes on their powerpoints... which makes it even harder to follow.) 🥲 Anyway, this system was very simple (just me using a lot of arrows, basically), but if you want aesthetic notes, you just gotta make them at home. Like, do whatever you need to to get the information in class, whether that is just listening and then going back to the material later, or if that is making a lot of "ugly" notes. And then, when you're home, transfer those notes over to a different notebook. This way, you can systemise them, add bulletpoints and whatever you think you'll need. It also helps you learn the subject, as you are repeating it! 😊
I use your blog earlier but when I came to know you have a UA-cam channel I even subscribed it! You are awesome this helped me to score 30/30 in my Formative Assessments!!!
There's an even lazier (and faster) option! It's called digitalizing your notes. That way your notes are always neat with the font, color and image you choose, with automatic bulleting and dates, and perfect circles.
i'm a person who prefers blank papers than grid or lined . idk it can make my notes more freestyle, but there's come my laziness hehe. However, i love your some suggestions for the pens and highlighters!
This really help me because of online classes While attending is necessary to write important notes or things to do but not list so this channel will really teach you how to organize and make your letter beautiful so keep it up and Thank you for more tips
I just make sure my handwriting is legible. Especially during a face-to-face class or a live class where I can't pause the video, I just try to write legible, not make it too messy.
Multicolored pens (3 or 4 in 1 pens) are probably one of the most convenient and ancient color-coding shortcuts. Assign one color each for paragraph text, headers, and signifiers/embellishment. You can't highlight, but you can always underline, box, and encircle main points. 😉 Your main problem is going to be finding one with a comfortable grip, comfortable tip size/stroke, and all inks/cratridges working correctly. Lol and then you have to reconcile with not having a pretty/trendy color palette (like pastel colors or retro colors, etc.)
I use a 3 tier note system. 1. Ugly notes. These you take in the moment, especially useful during lectures when your teacher is high on caffeine. 2. Pretty notes. This is where I take the ugly notes and re-write them neatly. I do this mainly for material I know I will be tested on. 3. Digital notes into Obsidian using the Zettelkasten system. This keeps all notes in one place and backed up and easy to find and the zettelkasten system is great for making connections between different subjects and themes. If you start a system like that early on writing comprehensive papers or even books becomes relatively easy.
There are a lot of great ideas in the comments, also, to help when the classroom pace is too frantic. I know people record the lecture part, often have handouts with the visuals in them, etc, which would help pulling everything together afterwards as a kind of review. I envy students the array of options they have now. Back in the dark ages when I went to college, it was pen, notebook, ears, and fingers.
FUN FACT AND ALSO KINDA TIP: ppl who have adhd find it easier to pay attention during class with they have a goal not to learn to make the prettiest notes ever, like making a pretty spider diagram or making the information about WW1 look like a tank, it can rly help them stay focused
"Lazy" is the most common way to mis-call someone with an attention deficit, whenever I try to make organized notes I end up with a "lazy" note and a lot of mental fatigue. Thanks for the video
Nice and thanks for the info. Though I've been out of college for a while, I do like finding examples of aesthetic notes to use when I want to practice my handwriting, but I really like the ones that identify the the stationery used...it's like a win win. Thanks for posting.
Hello! Your video was very useful for me! During a long time, even if my friends and family told me that my handwriting was beautiful, I always found my note-taking very ugly and cannot understand everything clearly… Because I write slowly on paper, I was searching a video about how to have an aesthetic note-taking without lasting too much time on it. Your video was perfect for me and I would like to thank you for your hard work! Have a good day!
For the smudged pen thing - I just write the word in pencil first then highlight and erase the pencil before writing the word in pen so you can know for sure how much you need to be highlighting to make space for the word you need .
Lovely notes! I used these tips for my exams and they look lovely! Your note taking tips which are actually useful video is also very nice for class. Thanks!
thanks, thanks so much ..u just helped me out with how to take the notes correctly ...cuz I have been moving in u tube from videos but never did get the right way ...but it really helped ..keep posting such amusing ones ........
I needed to re-watch this for two reasons 1) I needed it and 2) I kept falling asleep, ITS NOT THAT ITS BORING ITS JUST THAT I JUST WOKE UP AND IM TIRED
I'm really late, but what I do is I keep a spare rough notebook for 'lecture notes' in which I take messy, fast notes during class. Then I have different notebooks, per subject, In which I combine my own notes that I make from book, online notes on the topic, and at the bottom of page I transfer lecture notes I took during class (essentially things the teacher mentioned that I don't have written in my own notes). I stick to very limited color pallet. 1. Theme Color (any color with which I'm going to write my headers, and underline important terms) 2. Blue and Black that I use interchangeably (if I use blue to write notes, important points and key terms are going to be in black and vice versa. You can also highlight the key terms with the theme color) 3. Red (for writing down my correction and explanation for my corrections, for example if I've done a question wrong).
I found in undergrad that if I wrote messy/ugly notes, I wouldn't look at them. In lectures, I had to write neatly and mostly used bulletpoints. Today, I may be ok writing short notes during a lecture, but when I study I write my own "aesthetic" notes from the chapter and study from those instead. Based on this video, I have some ways to make those better, I tend to cram too much in the space >_>
A Filipino viewer here from the Philippines. Well, speaking of being aesthetic, why not making it even more creative like leaving an extra space for more information, or make it organized like adding page numbers for the table of contents (which is located on the first page of the notebook) (for easy organization!). BTW, thanks for recommending me this video and I hope I'll recommend this to my colleagues.
A tip I learned, if you think your handwriting is ugly and messy, just write smaller. Even if it's ugly, it won't be and look as much if it's small, plus it'll look neater.
I have a tip: You can just write however you want. Then later on you can transfer it to another notebook and make it look aesthetic cuz in class most of us don’t have much time to do it aesthetically. And this is actually what I do. I go to school write it however I want and then at home or my free time I transfer it to another notebook and make it look aesthetic
If you would like to use all colors then I would recommend the use of pastel colors to make it "aesthetic" but if that is not your goal to make it "aesthetic" that is fine, but still if you would like to use all the colors my recommendation is to use one color for each chapter of notes that way it would look organized, aesthetic and since you used different colors for each chapter of notes then when it comes to studying it will be easy to find which chapter your studying sorry if you did not understand what I meant but I hope this helped you and if you read all of this please reply this or this 🙂 thank you bye.
Isn’t it weird that I’m actually reading the formula and I’m understanding it?? Moral of the story kids, is that when ur doing something you like you unintentionally learn. THE END.
My advice is very much simple, I have been doing this since 8th grade and it has helped me a lot (hope it can work for you too!) All you need is just 2 notebooks. 1 bigger and 1 normal sized notebook, In the normal sized, that's where you write the "fast notes" or mostly notes that you take in class (It's ok if it's messy or anything, as long as you understand your handwriting then it's good) and after you go home, transfer it to your Bigger notebook and make it aesthetic if you want. I want to keep it simple. That's all. Stay safe!

Try to buy another book which you must be using for "fast chicken scratch" and then on your free time copy the notes (•‿•)

Take notes of your lecturer and understand the material. Then redo your notes at home. It will help you note more efficiently.
Write fast notes first with pencil (in class) and then go over them later and write them neater and more aesthetically pleasing in a second notebook. This helps with memorization and pleasing your mind with neater notes
Isn't rewriting your notes after every class just over the top and a waste of yime

@@klebb.5536 Okay it's been a while but I still stand by my point
Rewriting your notes is pointless and time-consuming.
You can revise your notes a lot more efficiently by highlighting important parts, watching courses, making a revision list (shortening em), etcetera. Aesthetic notes are not the point - learning your material efficiently is. You'll have a lot of notes during the school year. Realistically you won't have the motivation to rewrite them every single time. I'm an artist, I have to work outside of school, and I want some free time. Everyone does. And this useless learning process is way too overcomplicated for you to have any
@@forrestwatcher people like me who have certain conditions that make them get distracted easily tend to be uninspired with boring, messy handwriting. Rewriting your notes and ''reorganizing aesthetically'' can also help with recalling them on later dates because if you wrote them more than once it's like you did an extra study session, and they will be stored in your long-term memory.
Just because it didn't/ doesn't work for you doesn't mean it is ''pointless'' because it is not. People learn differently, I've been doing this for years, and it has helped me a lot from c, d, f's to almost straight A's. And it doesn't take hours as you said, everyone wants some free time of course, but I'm pretty sure a sacrifice or two won't hurt.
And efficiency looks different in different people. Watching courses, highlighting and revision lists are the bomb, but just because you use these and don't have time, effort, or your free time to spare for a different tactic doesn't mean you should bring down others who might benefit from trying it. #NOT COOL
When people say 'pretty notes don't make your grades better'. It doesn't really but it does give me more motivation to study, do homework, focus more in lessons etc. It doesn't really make a difference if the notes look good or not but idk it just makes it seem way different that it is
my brother say this to me when im writing notes. He: Pretty notes don't make ur grades better so dont waist ur time.
@@muskaankumar1304 well yes, he has a point, but they motivate me so if you would let me do my thing, it would be nice. I have gotten used to the way I take notes and I finish my notes before my classmates actually. I'm not waiting my time as it motivates me to study. And how am I supposed to study without motivation?
@@jzofia8076 Yes ur right! I want to write notes during class so when I'm coming back home, I can look at my notes and remember everything.
Hi army! 💜💜
@@43tarushimalhotra21 hello
It really is an art form and labor of love to take decent and fast notes, especially when a professor/teacher drones on and you can't hear key words. I do a lot of editing, writing, and research now and I'm grateful for the skills I learned, cuz they make a huge difference. Here are some things I've learned and want to share:
-Make good use of visual notetaking (Jetpens also has a blog on it).
-Use bullet points and short words (haaaah)
-Make important words stand out in a different style, like bubble letters or bold/colored in.
-For definitions, I used arrows pointing to the answer. For story rough drafts, I color-code character names with a highlighter when they are speaking and write their dialogue. In final drafts, they are formatted for easy proof-reading. Small page flags or mini sticky notes are perfect to add ideas when I reread a scene or bookmark a page to go back to.
-Draw a box and add a star around an important note or assignment to remember for that subject. Dates are a must if you want to remember what day you took those notes so you don't get confused and study the wrong material =D...
-I always wrote those important assignments in the top right of the page so I knew exactly where they were when I flipped through notes.
-Think about the style of the notebook, especially if your hands are getting trapped by the coil. Think about the type of pen or pencil you use. I write with gel pens for journaling, but ballpoint for notes, because I can write faster with them. I used to take notes in pencil, but back-to-back graphite is a sad bad idea.
And omg that corrector on the end of the pen is beautiful, but it must be hard to refill T_T
And now… “Aesthetic FASTER Note-taking Tips For Everybody!” 😂
1st day in school: “Trying to be like this”
1st week of school: *Realizes that i cant take aesthetic notes on the 1st go
1st month of school: *Gets 2 notebooks, one to write during class, one to write aesthetically
October: *starts to fret as subjects beginning to get tougher
Winter break: *Relaxes a little too much, loses aesthetic notebook over the holidays
1st day after winter break: *Panic
Some days after that day: *saves up money and gets a new notebook
Sees that it’s coming in March: *panic
Early and Mid January: *scratches notes on informational notebook
Late January and February 1st to February 5th: *doesnt bother to write, dreams about birthday party
February 6th (if i have school that day): *doesnt do anything, has fun on birthday
February 7th to Early March: *procrastinates for no reason, doesnt write anything anymore
The day the aesthetic notebook arrives: *tries to copy notes from informational journal, can’t understand my own handwriting
When i realize that: *panic because these stuff are going to be there in the final exam
March to April: *writes stuff down again in informational journal but slowly stops using the aesthetic notebook
May: *decides to start studying for final exam that’s in late May
Cant understand notes: *panic, has to look up on computer and decides to copy on aesthetic notebook
When i see i lost the notebook: *raging, gets a random notebook, erases everything in it, and tries to decode everything in informational notebook for at least a week
Final Exams come: *tries to find “aesthetic notebook”, finds out that i lost THAT notebook, gives up and goes to school
After final exams: *Throws away informational notebook, has fun
The day the exam results come: *stares in wonder in how the hell did i pass
Early summer: LIVIN THE LIFE YO! WHO CARES ABOUT SCHOOL?! WHO NEEDS DUMB NOTES ANYWAY?!
Late July: hey…I remember my New Years resolution…to get more neater? Well, i guess I’ll start by organizing my room and…NOTES! I WANT TO GET AESTHETIC NOTES! LETS SEARCH UP SOMETHING ON UA-cam! I AM GOING TO BE MORE NEATER THIS SCHOOL YEAR!
1st day of school: “Trying to be like that”
1st week of school: *realizes i cant do it, decides to do the plan that i failed last year
And the whole cycle repeats again!
Reply if you are like this too!
2 yr update: oh my gosh I remember writing this bc I was nervous for middle school and I was 11, now im 13 and js graduated! Time really flies!
I can understand that
It happens with me all the time😅😅
I never in my entire life saw this long update-
FACTS
Is your birthday on 6th of february?!!? We are b'day twins!
Damn-
That would be me but instead I would have high hopes for my test results, and then I end up getting a bad score like D+, and then when I actually study and try my best for a next test I get so close to D- 💀
I take terrible notes, so I rewrite them carefully (what use is an open book test if I cannot understand my notes?). This is where JetPens comes in.
These are all really great tips and ones I wish I'd gotten when I was in college! I really don't have anything to add; I was pretty improvisational with my note-taking. True story, I used to write in all-caps and cursive interchangeably, so I'd do my headers in all-caps so I could quickly scan and find what I was looking for and my notes in cursive to prevent hand strain. Nowadays, I eyeball indents to keep organized, but then again I'm not in school anymore...
Oh, wait, I do have something! A lot of these tips go out the window in art studio style classes. Word of advice for those: unless you're specifically told to have a notebook separate from your sketchbook- and you *should* have a sketchbook- use your sketchbook for notes. The juxtaposition of sketches and notes helps you remember stuff for projects and looks really interesting besides. If you don't like your handwriting on the blank page, try sticky notes or a memo pad! Jetpens has them in a variety of sizes and styles, as well as washi tape if you need to make sure they stay in.
This speaks to my soul. When I was a student, I was already definitely obsessed with pretty and organized notes. But as many have said, there's not enough time in real time to do that. What I would do is write down notes as the classes happen and then when I go home, rewite all of it in the way I want it to look. This personally worked as studying, too, since I was taking my time to review and rewrite everything.
If you can use the *same* handwriting throughout the whole time, *your elite
It's 2 am here in India 🇮🇳 taking a break from study and just got a notification from JetPens about AESTHETIC NOTE TAKING that I've been wanting for... It's really amazing 💜
Lot's of love to JetPens and everyone!💕
OMG SAME HERE GURL! BTW Hi neighbor how's stuff going on in India?
@@amnakakakhel1181 what stuff
Hi! I’m from India too!
Well where do u get those pretty and cute stationary in India😭😭
@@ayusharyamaanpuhan4788 you do have Amazon and there's a lot if stuff in that
My college notes were useless to others because I wrote them in my own form of shorthand where I used specific words to trigger mental notes. I was also pretty good at memorizing where a particular topic was on a given page (I.e. bottom right, top left), so my notes were uniquely just for me. In the workplace, I tend to use the same method, but take more care to write more neatly now, when I can. If writing is rushed and I want to use as a future cheat sheet, I’ll write out more neatly or type them up and add them to my notebook.
I'm definitely a doodler, I tend to use a lot of embellishments and doodles to fill the page. Mainly because I'm a visual and kinesthetic learner. I have to associate what I'm learning to a drawing and muscle movement.
the easiest way for me to make my notes "pretty" (which is already hard with my terrible handwriting^^) is just to make them digitally. fixing mistakes, moving blocks of text around etc works best digitally plus you got your notes everywhere you go if you save them online
Something I like to add to my notes is to divide different chapters/topics by simple lines
And also, redo my notes.. So when I write down notes in class I just write them down and when I have time or need to study for that particular class I redo the ugly note and make it aesthetically pleasing
These are just two tips but maybe they help someone :3
Nice tip! I might use it! Thank you!
I always had 2 books !! One i keep at home and carry the other to school everyday. i actually start studying way before school starts so i have time to start making my notes look pretty !. In my school diary, i write everything down (information,important dates/pages) and after coming back home, I just write them down neatly. Simple as that.
If you cant start your notes before, You pretty much have to gather your information abt it (from class or youtube or google), just grab another book and make a minimum aesthetic book. Just use one colour pen (black or blue, black is better) and write down your notes with that. For important vocabulary, Use any other colour pen. Or u can just highight them later. Remember to always highlight at the last and not waste ur time in between. You are making notes to study not for picture-purpose.
Anyways, Thats all.
Happy studying !
Since last year, where I had to deal with opening files in a computer and listening to the teacher at the same time, I’ve stopped using color on my notes and it’s been great. No more colors that I hate or ripping out pages and wasting time choosing what looks prettier with what. Nowadays I have 4 black pens: a brush for important titles, a thicker one for regular titles, a writing one and a fine one for little notes. If I feel like I have to, I use highlighters and to give contrast I’ll just change the size or the style of my handwriting, which is a great way to make titles pop
I feel like the only thing you REALLY need is aesthetic handwriting, which I don't have
Anyone watch this wanting to get neater notes because their school notes looked TERRIBLE, cause I did!❤ to Jetpens!
i need this video when school start
*i hope school never start*.
Let me help you right there!
What I do is completely different. I just take a notebook and write my work in my normal handwriting. After the lecture is over I just add some color highlights and honestly thats the fastest technique to make some colourful notes but I mostly use light colours and just make clouds I dont fill them with colour as Im more of a casual person. I have been using this for a year now and it helped me a lot. One more thing I do while studying is listening to music now yes we do get distracted but I listen to BTS (I cant understand anything so..) and it helps me a lot. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN TECHNIQUE SO YOU BETTER TRY DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES AND THEN YOU WILL FIND THE BEST YOURSELF!👍 best of luck ahead!
Oh my my my! my comment is pretty long.
The thumbnail is so cute and nice. Keep up the good work for these videos.
you know what, this is definitely my new favourite channel.
omg how can u only have 536k subscribers ur videos are so clear,great quality and i can understand everything u say thank uu jet pens i love this chanell.
and i rly needed this video ><
love u and thank u
a tip for writing an aesthetic notes is make it whenever your in home or in school on your free time. If the teacher is speaking or writing too fast, just write it doesn't matter if its ugly but you can always recreate it into a beautiful one.
I just started using the highlight-first-write-on-top technique yesterday! What a difference 👍🏽
early? great video! really helped - might buy some of the supplies!
okay but the fact that this was actually helpful then the ones on tiktok is surprising
I used to write notes on plain paper but would use a ruler and pencil and mark out 0.5cm lines to rub out later. I did this before university because my teachers were so impressed with my history folder but now I'm at uni, I use Notion because I find it easier with the increased workload.
I used to do the same. Then my friend showed me a hack. You take a loose plain paper and make your horizontal lines with a bright marker and a ruler. Make the lines pretty thick. You can place this under the paper you are writing on and should be able to see the lines and voila you write in straight lines. You now have a template that can be used multiple times so it gets rid of the hassle of drawing lines on each page and erasing them.
Another tip, don't be afraid to use photos! If your notes needs photos to be understandable (like Biology) print a good quality image of what you need and it will very VERY useful
I get how beautiful these notes look but in reality, when I´m taking notes in a class I can´t keep up with color coordinating and underlying neatly. I use a black gel pen and focus on writing down everything my prof. is saying.
One thing that helps a lot is by making notes before class. Usually, the first class, prof usually give syallabus on what to learn, what books they use, some even gave notes.
What I did, i make two column. The right column is what I do before the class and the left one is what I added if prof give additional information .
I rlly think u just need to bring a black pen and highlight Later
True. Headers are just words with underlines hahaha
I used to sort of have a system when taking notes during class, but at one point I got teachers that just went through all of it too quickly. So I'd end up having to leave lots of space to go back to them later, when I am on my own with the presentation the teacher used. (Sadly, some of the teachers don't leave good notes on their powerpoints... which makes it even harder to follow.) 🥲
Anyway, this system was very simple (just me using a lot of arrows, basically), but if you want aesthetic notes, you just gotta make them at home. Like, do whatever you need to to get the information in class, whether that is just listening and then going back to the material later, or if that is making a lot of "ugly" notes. And then, when you're home, transfer those notes over to a different notebook. This way, you can systemise them, add bulletpoints and whatever you think you'll need. It also helps you learn the subject, as you are repeating it! 😊
I am now motivated to rewrite my college notes (I have already graduated) and post them on Instagram 😊😊
Aesthetic notes are not just optically pleasing but also helps in studying
I use your blog earlier but when I came to know you have a UA-cam channel I even subscribed it! You are awesome this helped me to score 30/30 in my Formative Assessments!!!
Congrats!
Yess, doodles and charts/diagrams are a MUST! They help carry out the topic and it makes it easier to comprehend!
There's an even lazier (and faster) option! It's called digitalizing your notes. That way your notes are always neat with the font, color and image you choose, with automatic bulleting and dates, and perfect circles.
As someone who’s about to start GCSE courses and loves neat notes THANK YOU!
The fact that I'm studying Greek civilization and cells and I'm ACTUALLY making notes ABOUT cells, is NUTS!
i'm a person who prefers blank papers than grid or lined . idk it can make my notes more freestyle, but there's come my laziness hehe.
However, i love your some suggestions for the pens and highlighters!
My tip is to color code different topics and ideas using different highlighters and pens.
Jet pens became from a stationary company to my Study 📚 and Note taking 📝 adviser
This really help me because of online classes While attending is necessary to write important notes or things to do but not list so this channel will really teach you how to organize and make your letter beautiful so keep it up and
Thank you for more tips
I like that you put a summary at the end, because i always forget everything after watching a useful video lol
I just make sure my handwriting is legible. Especially during a face-to-face class or a live class where I can't pause the video, I just try to write legible, not make it too messy.
Multicolored pens (3 or 4 in 1 pens) are probably one of the most convenient and ancient color-coding shortcuts. Assign one color each for paragraph text, headers, and signifiers/embellishment. You can't highlight, but you can always underline, box, and encircle main points. 😉
Your main problem is going to be finding one with a comfortable grip, comfortable tip size/stroke, and all inks/cratridges working correctly. Lol and then you have to reconcile with not having a pretty/trendy color palette (like pastel colors or retro colors, etc.)
I use a 3 tier note system.
1. Ugly notes. These you take in the moment, especially useful during lectures when your teacher is high on caffeine.
2. Pretty notes. This is where I take the ugly notes and re-write them neatly. I do this mainly for material I know I will be tested on.
3. Digital notes into Obsidian using the Zettelkasten system. This keeps all notes in one place and backed up and easy to find and the zettelkasten system is great for making connections between different subjects and themes. If you start a system like that early on writing comprehensive papers or even books becomes relatively easy.
Your handwriting is like a printed sheets. Really amazing, kindly tell how do you write so neatly and beautifully
Omg!! You guys are so helpful 🤩 Keep up the good work 😀
My tip is to use a wax based highlighter on notes written in gel ink. They do a great job at preventing smears.
There are a lot of great ideas in the comments, also, to help when the classroom pace is too frantic. I know people record the lecture part, often have handouts with the visuals in them, etc, which would help pulling everything together afterwards as a kind of review. I envy students the array of options they have now. Back in the dark ages when I went to college, it was pen, notebook, ears, and fingers.
FUN FACT AND ALSO KINDA TIP: ppl who have adhd find it easier to pay attention during class with they have a goal not to learn to make the prettiest notes ever, like making a pretty spider diagram or making the information about WW1 look like a tank, it can rly help them stay focused
"Lazy" is the most common way to mis-call someone with an attention deficit, whenever I try to make organized notes I end up with a "lazy" note and a lot of mental fatigue. Thanks for the video
Good luck writing neatly in my maths class! We need to copy the full board in 5 mins!
Nice and thanks for the info. Though I've been out of college for a while, I do like finding examples of aesthetic notes to use when I want to practice my handwriting, but I really like the ones that identify the the stationery used...it's like a win win. Thanks for posting.
Those are some fine looking notes!
Hello! Your video was very useful for me! During a long time, even if my friends and family told me that my handwriting was beautiful, I always found my note-taking very ugly and cannot understand everything clearly… Because I write slowly on paper, I was searching a video about how to have an aesthetic note-taking without lasting too much time on it. Your video was perfect for me and I would like to thank you for your hard work! Have a good day!
The narrator is soo Hyped Up! I don't know what happened but keep it up! Also liked this new vid!
My tips:
1) always make a decent distance between the words you are writing!
2) always make sure that the size of words aren't too big or small.
I'm enjoying this lady's enthusiasm!
I swear, if I had the money, I would buy almost EVERYTHING from your shop!
I- I don’t know why but I really love your voice it’s so calming
omg this is very helpful! i love how you also gives recommendations which is awesome!
For the smudged pen thing - I just write the word in pencil first then highlight and erase the pencil before writing the word in pen so you can know for sure how much you need to be highlighting to make space for the word you need .
Thank you JetPens! this video inspires me!
Lovely notes! I used these tips for my exams and they look lovely! Your note taking tips which are actually useful video is also very nice for class. Thanks!
thanks, thanks so much ..u just helped me out with how to take the notes correctly ...cuz I have been moving in u tube from videos but never did get the right way ...but it really helped ..keep posting such amusing ones ........
I needed to re-watch this for two reasons 1) I needed it and 2) I kept falling asleep, ITS NOT THAT ITS BORING ITS JUST THAT I JUST WOKE UP AND IM TIRED
my teachers are so fast that you can imagine ..... by the time i finish writing the in this way, she must be finishing half the chapter
I find it weird and amazing that we have the same exact style of writing.
I'm really late, but what I do is I keep a spare rough notebook for 'lecture notes' in which I take messy, fast notes during class. Then I have different notebooks, per subject, In which I combine my own notes that I make from book, online notes on the topic, and at the bottom of page I transfer lecture notes I took during class (essentially things the teacher mentioned that I don't have written in my own notes).
I stick to very limited color pallet.
1. Theme Color (any color with which I'm going to write my headers, and underline important terms)
2. Blue and Black that I use interchangeably (if I use blue to write notes, important points and key terms are going to be in black and vice versa. You can also highlight the key terms with the theme color)
3. Red (for writing down my correction and explanation for my corrections, for example if I've done a question wrong).
I found in undergrad that if I wrote messy/ugly notes, I wouldn't look at them. In lectures, I had to write neatly and mostly used bulletpoints. Today, I may be ok writing short notes during a lecture, but when I study I write my own "aesthetic" notes from the chapter and study from those instead. Based on this video, I have some ways to make those better, I tend to cram too much in the space >_>
As a left handed person, I attempted this and got hightlighter, 3 different kinds of pen ink, and white out all on my hand
A Filipino viewer here from the Philippines. Well, speaking of being aesthetic, why not making it even more creative like leaving an extra space for more information, or make it organized like adding page numbers for the table of contents (which is located on the first page of the notebook) (for easy organization!). BTW, thanks for recommending me this video and I hope I'll recommend this to my colleagues.
A tip I learned, if you think your handwriting is ugly and messy, just write smaller. Even if it's ugly, it won't be and look as much if it's small, plus it'll look neater.
Definitely using these tips!💚
It's like jetpens knows lazy aesthetic people ( basically me ).
You read my mind JetPens
Luv ur vids
Tbh the only reason I have clean notes is because I wanna share my notes to people and because if my notes are messy it will be hard to concentrate
When I Watched the first Video I literally subscribed and did Screenshots for everything I needed
What a nuce channel😍🤩🤩🤩🤗
Yey! Im getting my zebra sarasa pen soon for my school journal. The tips here were helpful! Thanks so much
Thank you so much I’m now ready re-write my notes.
the fact that the notes were about Pythagorean Theorem and I just finished taking notes about the formula about Pythagorean Theorem-
I loved their TIPES !!!!!! THNX
I have a tip:
You can just write however you want. Then later on you can transfer it to another notebook and make it look aesthetic cuz in class most of us don’t have much time to do it aesthetically. And this is actually what I do. I go to school write it however I want and then at home or my free time I transfer it to another notebook and make it look aesthetic
Admin, thanks for this video! I'm always writing notes no matter during work or after work!
Your writing is wow❤️
their handwriting is so neat fr though
Omg I just love your videos ❤️❤️❤️
If you would like to use all colors then I would recommend the use of pastel colors to make it "aesthetic" but if that is not your goal to make it "aesthetic" that is fine, but still if you would like to use all the colors my recommendation is to use one color for each chapter of notes that way it would look organized, aesthetic and since you used different colors for each chapter of notes then when it comes to studying it will be easy to find which chapter your studying sorry if you did not understand what I meant but I hope this helped you and if you read all of this please reply this or this 🙂 thank you bye.
Thank you so much for the tips/ideas! This is really helpful 😁😁
Thanks for the sweet tips! Can't wait for the next one! ❤️
Isn’t it weird that I’m actually reading the formula and I’m understanding it?? Moral of the story kids, is that when ur doing something you like you unintentionally learn. THE END.
My advice is very much simple, I have been doing this since 8th grade and it has helped me a lot (hope it can work for you too!) All you need is just 2 notebooks. 1 bigger and 1 normal sized notebook, In the normal sized, that's where you write the "fast notes" or mostly notes that you take in class (It's ok if it's messy or anything, as long as you understand your handwriting then it's good) and after you go home, transfer it to your Bigger notebook and make it aesthetic if you want. I want to keep it simple. That's all. Stay safe!
Hey there! I like your videos too much. As being a lazy person, I need something like this. thankyou so much
I love your videos! 💗
