Here's a tip I've used for the past 40 years: When I jot down a to-do item in my notebook, in the left margin I use a highlighter to make a short stroke (basically a square). When I complete the item, I put a checkmark in the square. This makes it easy to keep track of things I need to do.
YES. This marking method works almost perfectly. I use a similar method only it's writing a specific symbol with the normal writing pen, then marking it off when the task is done. Makes keeping track of tasks insanely easy.
Lol when I first started at my current, corporate job, my coworkers made fun of my stationery obsession. Then a couple of them placed their own jetpens orders... Eventually, some of them started trying to steal my pens! I knew it would happen so I bought some extra Livework ballpoint pens in the cute colors that I didn’t mind giving away. I regularly add a pack of stickers or cute paper clips to my orders to give to a coworker just because they might like it. I think many of them have realized that I have cool stuff, and so I try to pick up a couple of little extras for them. Even clients have borrowed my pens to sign things or take notes, and more than a few have whispered under their breath to their companions “wow, this is a nice pen…” I love that!
You won them over, huzzah!🎉 😂 That's adorable and I'm happy your coworkers realized that dang, sometimes it's worth it to spend a little extra on stationary 😂
When I worked for a brokerage firm, I was the only one who kept notebooks. They sure came in handy when months later I had to go back to follow up on things such as where did the dividend go after a stock certificate was transferred? It saved me a lot of time having to do the research all over again. Also, I kept checklists for situations such as transferring accounts or all the things we needed to do when a client died. And this was before we all used P.C.'s!
Don't be afraid to combine your note/to do lists with your planner. If you use your planner for note taking, it will automatically keep your notes mostly organized. [I like using a Franklin Planner for this specific reason.] As for color coding, let me suggest that if you are a member of multiple teams, color code based off of the team. You can always implement a bullet journal style indicator for due date, etcetera. on your notes add a symbol at the start of the line like: ○ for tasks, * for deadlines, # for communications, - extra information, etcetera, a simple system for information at a glance. If your simply organize your notes chronological, it will be easy to make an index. The date acts as a page number.
1. Bic 4-colour multipen tells you all you need to know about colour choices. Red is urgent, green is completed, blue & black for actual notetaking. 2. Muji weekly/monthly B5 planner has the week on the left page and a full grid page to its right. I take 3 bullet Critical Now items and use the right to plan out mini-tasks, Opportunity Now, and OTH. Monthly section for appointments and MT/LT planning. 3. A memo size notebook to act as a commonplace, on-the-go book to organize checklists, sketches, and diagrams. 4. A lined, stitchbound, hard cover book acts as a professional logbook for meetings with a similar 3 section format: Agenda, Discussion, Action Steps. 5. A Mead coil notebook that has OCR function scannable as a PDF so that any note-taking to share & saved for digital posterity is taken here.
"MY KURU TOGA IS NOT BOTHERING ANYBODY" I'm so glad I made it to the end of the video 😂 thank you for the tips!! I currently use a bullet journal at work but I still need to find a better way to keep all my actionable items in clear sight between pages of various notes!
I keep 3 separate notebooks for work. One is to log my daily work (we invoice by project) and weekly to-do list at the bottom, one page per week. In the front of that notebook I have a page for yearly and monthly “must-do’s”. In a second notebook I keep meeting notes that are indexed in the front pages. Any action items are marked by “AI” in the margin as well as the “who and when”. These get transferred to notebook #1 and any published meeting minutes. And my 3rd notebook is for personal professional brainstorming, design sketches, ideas, etc. It is a full A4 size with blank pages. All of these have numbered pages and are stitch, glue, or staple bound (no spirals). On the front cover, I include the start/end dates. This is important for legal reasons for what I do.
I used the leuchtterm1917 hardcover in the biggest size, with a dot grid, back when I was in media production. It was great for notes and the ability to create storyboards and other designs that needed to be sketched out on the same page as written notes. That was really when I fell in love with dot grids and I really haven’t liked anything else since.
Keep a pocket sized composition book on you so you can take important notes or drawings at any time. Then transfer the pocket notes into your main notes as soon as you get the chance. I'm constantly on-site as a tradesman and do this more often than not. If you write details on a scratchpad or post-it while on the phone or something, also transfer those notes where appropriate in your main notes then throw the little note away so you're not cluttered with disorganized or redundant nonsense.
Yo, fellow tradesmen! I'm a Service Electrician, I currently use a Kokuyo Field Sketchbook for notes on the field and then I keep more detailed notes in a Leuchtturm at home.
I feel like this would be a good father's day gift since my dad always scribbles down his notes messily in a notebook. with the meeting style template notebook, he can be a bit more organized!
I purchased my first Rhodia meeting book from JetPens and used this when I had lots of meetings. Very helpful format, and just move the action items to my planner for follow up. I schedule an hour each Friday to review meetings from the week and add tasks to my calendar for the upcoming weeks. :)
Uni Jetstream Multipens are my LIFE pens. I have ever color, every version, every ink. My only tip is that whenever I'm taking notes and an item needs some action or follow up I draw a square/check box in the margin. Then I can see my to-do items at a glance.
I work at an FBO, and the first thing I do when I come in is write down the arrivals and departures for the day. (Which came in handy today when our internet went down for 2 hours!) I have trouble reading though, so I highlight each one in alternating colors so I can more clearly see them. The Kokuyo Beetle Tip highlighters are so useful for this! I used to have six different highlighters that I would have to recap throughout the day. Now I just have three, and it's so easy to just turn them and have the next color that I need. Plus they take up less room in my pencil case. I also have a color system in my notebook for tasks/reminders. Yellow is for pending, pink is for completed, and green is for important reminders. I write a lot of stuff throughout the day, so once it's highlighted in pink, I know I won't have to read it again and it's taken care of. This was a great video! I'm not a student and haven't been a student since highschool, so I'm more interested in how I can apply note taking to the workplace. I think maybe another good idea for a video would be compiling everyone's ideas from this comment section!
This is my favorite JetPens video so far ever!!! I always see note taking for students but rarely for professionals. Some of these systems I have already picked up as a professional, but I saw so many new tips I hadn’t seen before. And loved all the products and pens and that were mentioned! Thanks for sharing this awesome video, as a creative professional in marketing I’m always on the lookout for better organization so I will definitely be taking a look at upgrading my current system 🔥
I absolutely love the end of the video, thank you! It's a fun reminder of things I used to do in the office to make the space my own back when we had to go in. Love it!
I highly recommend a Pilot Frixion multi pen for both planning and notes. Color coding plus erasable pen. I use mine practically every single day alongside my Uni Jetstream.
I like creating my own checklists, and I always use different colours for different tasks, so helpful to see at a glance if you have many red tasks that need attention now, or can wait a while.
I also color code my notes. I always make sure to carry a red pen with me because i use that to underline the sections of notes that are the most important and out an exclamation ❗ point where there are action items i neee to do. I go back to my desk and get those put of the way and ✅ them off. I try to get the action items out of the way as fast as possible otherwise the list gets out of hand. I like using the vintage sarasa pens. A way to add color while maintaining a professional look and feel.
I swear by the high tide sticky notes! I have bought others, but the hightide are the best for me. I have the dot grid and the to-do list ones with the boxes.
i keep my meeting notes in the back of the weeks mega i use for work, so i always have them with me to reference. after meetings i transfer the action items to the weekly spread. and i have one of those Midori stands that i keep date specific tasks on right under my monitor where i can always see them. my desk is basically a jetpens advert and I've converted all my coworkers to becoming planner people.
My tips - Stone Paper Notebook & Frixtion Erasable Pens 7 Highlighters - can't erase the pens from the paper, but you can wash off the ink with a damp rag, making one notebook infinitely reusable. Also, RocketBook, same idea, but with actual features for transferring you notes to the computer.
Watched this last summer before starting my first job as a school librarian… and now returning with a huge stack of notepads with unstructured ideas and meeting notes. Def need a better system. My job is less meeting based, though (meetings def, but my notes are less about that) so I think I’ll take a few lessons from project managers and creatives on what they do to organize notes 😅 Note taking is def not my strong suit but you just end up doing the same work 5 times with unorganized notes
Can we have a video about that Noodler's dry ease/ white board fauntain pen ink and that white board notwbook from this video? Do they work together as well as I imagine?
I work from home and with a young boy it has been hard to be able to take paper notes like I use to. After a recent disorganization catastrophe (I had digital notes in excel docs, word docs email drafts And even those digital stickynotes. After a little come to Jesus talk with myself I have now begun integrating myself into using OneNote. You don't have to worry about your computer restarting resulting in a million autosave docs (auto save is a lice saver I just hate having to spend so much time reconciling different versions of the same doc. Or quick saving somewhere so I can close and not
I say phooey to not bringing your awesome stationary to work! I've shared my love for Pentel Energels with one co-worker and my love for fountain pens with another. I keep my meeting notes and short action items in a small notebook, and my bigger notes for more indepth tasks in a bigger one. When they're full I take out the notes I want to keep and put them in a Lihit Lab Aquadrops booklet (although it's getting quite full already), marked with small sticky note strips as page and topic indicators. I should probably rewrite and organize them better but I'm too lazy to do that XD.
I just write down all the things I need to do in one page according to weeks and same goes to notes so I know all this happened within this week and I just crossed them off as I go, another reason I write them according to week is because I need to keep track of the queue so even if I didn’t finish today work I can still remember to finish it the next day. anything that is urgent I will highlight with a red highlighter. I don’t want to make it too complicated as I am working not studying.
I watched for the note taking style ideas - which did not disappoint - but found the product recommendations unexpectedly helpful. Beautiful production too! And one more thing... your printing should be a typeface!
i don't know how I took notes in college and passed. taking notes in the workplace, I don't know if I can count that as taking notes... also the cat paper clip holder is adorable^^
I'm just a customer service rep, but my job has monthly changes that I usually just quickly type into One Note and leave it at that. It's never written on paper. Maybe I should do that.
Do you guys have a video testing 'quick drying inks' on sheer surfaces? At my workplace, we commonly use the classic Bic ball-point pens, however I hate writing with them as they don't write very smoothly. I sometimes bring my pens from home to use at work, but because most of my pens are gel-like (I use Muji, Cosy and LAMY as my daily drivers) they don't dry very well on sheer/glossy/satin papers. Often times, my work is smudged because I don't have time to wait for the ink to dry. Are there any smooth, quick-dry, ball-point pens you can recommend? Love your work btw!
I’m not jetpens but I started using uniball jetstream ballpoint for exactly this reason. I don’t always have time for the gel to dry but wanted something that writes like gel. I may have even seen the pen on jetpens first. I splurged on the alpha pen I think it’s called but that has 0.7 size ink and I just fill it with jetstream 1.0 ballpoint to get a more luxurious ink size but still the fancy outer pen of the alpha. Hope that helps!
Taking notes is a waste of time for me. 😅 but I do use as daily reminders because I recieve new information daily. All I do is date the page, write down whatever I am told whether a future appointment or an event that happened with the client. Same thing the next day, fresh new page with a new date. Forgot to mention, I prefer grid type because of the free writing and bit of guidance. Lined feels to constrictive and narrow small font. Blank is less organized gor writing. Nonetheless each their own
I really want to know the name of the file organizer used in this vid! I've searched everywhere for something similar but isn't mesh. Can you let us know what it's called?
Something I love about your videos is the occasional ThinkPad cameos; I pair mine with a r0tring 600 and, at the moment, a Leuchturm1917 A5 lined notebook. It's the perfect office-goth blend!
There are trade offs to having coworkers that are also Studio Ghibli fans. Someone stole my Spirited Away UniJetstream multi pen 😲🤬😭 I still take THE best notes in town, just… with a BIC 4-color😐
oh my god the houttakes are so funny and DARN IT now I want a No Face kuru toga... ughh I already have 3 kurus, and honestly just one was enough to obsolete any other mechanical pencil I owned before high school... I've been using them for almost half my life, and it's really hard to balance switching between multiple with pretty bodies LOL
@00:39 Is that your own font face or did you learn a specific font? If you did, mind sharing the name? I've been looking for a good everyday font face to learn for my handwriting practice.
How about we get some older, more experienced people to do videos like this. It's hard to take professional working advice seriously from someone in their 20's.

You forgot to mention, that Leuchtturm 1917 Notebooks are not suitable for fountain pens, but the shown Ballpoint- and gel-pens will work with them.
They used to be OK with fountain pens, but sadly the paper quality went downhill.
I replaced mine with Dingbats. Good quality, decent color selection, and some character. And the paper is great with fountain pens

If someone took color-coded notes with that pen in a meeting I was in I'd lose my mind from the constant clicking!
Sadly, taking notes at the meeting is still the job of the youngest person in the room. Be Prepared to have to share them with the group immediately.
Karen from HR WOULD say that.
Boooo! Down with adulting! Ugghhh! J/K 🤣
8:12 Karen from JetPens HR strikes fear in us all. 😂
Forget the note-taking mambo jombo, how do you improve your calligraphy? My handwrite is awful
😊😊

@00:39 Is that your own font face or did you learn a specific font? If you did, mind sharing the name? I've been looking for a good everyday font face to learn for my handwriting practice.
No-Face is correct for ANY office, KAREN.
note taking tips .
Hiiiiiiii~!!!
这应该是机器配音罢
damn it, Karen!
90% of the vid are ads. Nah
Ball point pen..ugh. the bane of people with less than good handwriting.
How about we get some older, more experienced people to do videos like this. It's hard to take professional working advice seriously from someone in their 20's.
That's a bit ageist, they are also working professionals. I found their tips perfectly valid even though I'm no longer in my 20s.
I wish I had money right now, I wanna get the Maruman notebook and the Midori memo pads 😫🥲
