IMPROVE YOUR NOTES » five ways
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- First of all, the first tip is to pick a notebook that is pleasing to the eye, efficient and sturdy enough to hold all of your notes, for a long time. I picked a single notebook for all of my semester's notes. The notebook I picked is a Moleskine Pro A4 notebook with dotted pages and it has two key features that make it so functional for notetaking - numbered pages and a table of contents. Since I am using a notebook for all of my classes, it was very important for me to be able to number the pages and index the different class topics and subjects in a table of contents and the fact that this notebook already has these two components make my job much easier. Although this doesn't count as a tip for the note taking in itself, it is definitely a big part of the organization of my notes and I suggest you to apply the same concept in all of your notebooks.
The second tip is to use two columns instead of writing across the whole page. It allows me to have much more flexibility when taking notes during class, since I am never able to fully anticipate the lecturer's speech. The fact that I can write horizontally in two different spots allows me to add comments, examples and corrections instead of having to worry about cramping all the information I am hearing into the same space. The way you use this method is really up to you, but I think you should try it out at least for one day.
The third tip is to use color but with caution. As a rule, I only use two colored pens for each set of notes. On the other side, using only two pens makes note taking in itself much more efficient, since I don't need to lose time choosing between too many different colors when I should really be paying attention to class.
The fourth tip is to learn how to arrange the space in the pages of your notebook. If you are using your class notebook as a transitional source of information, like if you are going to rewrite all of your notes when you get home, this might not be a problem. However, if you are thinking of your notebook as the ultimate source of information when studying for an exam, it will be important to think of your handwriting and, most of all, of how you arrange the space in the page. If you want to use the column method, sometimes you will not have information to add in the second column. Although this can leave a blank portion in the page that you desperately want to fill in, leave the blank space in there. This can be beneficial for two reasons: first of all, your page will look cleaner and reviewing for a test or exam will be much easier if you give your eyes an easier time looking for specific information. Secondly, allowing yourself for some blank space between notes also lets you write your own personal comments in between in future study sessions, something that I highly suggest if you are into active reading.
Finally, learn how to efficiently cover up mistakes. Tons of people ask me how I am able to take notes without ever making mistakes. Well, since I am currently taking English courses and my first language is Portuguese, believe me when I say that I make mistakes, and a quite a few of them, actually. However, since I am the only one reading my own notes, if I make any grammar or vocabulary mistakes, I will either leave the word as it is, as it will not compromise my learning of the subject, or I will rewrite it in front of the wrong word and underline it. If my mistake compromises my knowledge on the topic if I read it in the future, as if I wrote down wrong information, I will strike it through as neatly as I can. Overall, this will result in notes as spotless as they can be, and it will not make a difference at all.

ur handwriting is *DIVINE*
this notebook is more organized than my life
Hahah lol, good joke
yep, same
Yousra Bezah Me!!!
Yousra Bezah this deserves more likes.
Ikr
if that was my notebook, I wouldn't even be studying. I would just look at every page and appreciate the ART I made :D this is so pleasing to the eye! please keep up with your work!
My thoughts exactly! This makes me want to cry😢 it's so beautiful.
Wow it looks like it's printed
Mariana. You are absolutely fantastic. You should work as a professional note-taker. You could copy your note-books and sell them.
lol yea
That’s a thing?? Wow I never knew
@@Itsshegooo people make good bank selling their notes
my handwriting is naturally ugly because I'm a fast writer plus I cant write in straight line without any guide 😢
it's impossible to have a "naturally ugly" handwriting! you should plactice and develop muscle memory by writing really slow. also, look up inspirations on pinterest. it's really helpful! I've been writing with an illegible handwriting for 8 years and now, after slowly writing and practicing for 2 months, my handwriting is super cute and kinda similar to Mariana's. go girl, I believe in you! if you practice slow writing a lot, you will quickly get the hang of it and you will write quickly and beautifully effortlessly!
Just keep working on it! My handwriting used to be illegible because I wrote really fast and messy but i worked on it and now people tell me I have nice handwriting
I used to have a really cute and neat handwriting but now it's so ugly and messy, because my professors speak so fast in University, no one is able to keep up. Most of us record the lectures just in case.
but i like ugly and fast handwriting tbh
Leslie Perez A thing my sister does is writing on a scratch notebook then writing it again later at home. Her note are pretty nice
Wow, I would like to have such confidence to use a MOLESKINE to take notes 😍
Sara Pone why so?
Clara G D Probably because they're extremely expensive and the person is scared to ruin it with imperfect notes
Yes, they're very expensive (and beautiful!) and I think that this thing would limitate my "freedom" in writing notes. I would be intimidated. And then, it's not affordable for the amount of notes I have to take.
I would recommend getting a cheaper notebook to quickly jot down all the things you need to keep, then rewrite everything in a moleskine prettier.
@@cgbell1123 it's like a huge waste of time
Hello guys, just a quick note: I say in the video that the notebook is dotted but as you can see, of course it is gridded lol. Sorry for the mistake! (also mic quality is awful because my microphone broke a day before recording this, so I had to use my camera).
Happy studying!
Mariana's Study Corner thanks
How many pages does that notebook have? Do you think it would be good for highschool as well? Im considering using the same notebook for highschool next year.
I do not hear the bad quality to be honest. I think it still sounds ok
Mariana's Study Corner your handwriting is so tiny and neat
Mariana's Study Corner which pens do you use? Your writing is so nice and thin!
I have anxiety and these videos actually help - not because looking at notes normally makes me less anxious (it doesn't), but because the techniques Mariana uses are so easy (use columns! Only two pens! Just write what the prof tells you, there's no magic trick to studying). Obrigada!
Your homework notes make medieval illuminated manuscripts cry
I love these videos so much they have inproved my gpa from a 2.3 to a 4.0
Thank you so much marina
Danica Sosa what did you do to improve your gpa like that? Congrats too!!
congratulations!
Wow, amazing! Yoh probably just studied though XD
I had a student that used 2 diferent colors, black and another color, alternating the colors (not the black), between classes. She said it helped her recognize different days qyickly. E.g. black plus
blue on day 1, black plus red day 2, lavk plus green, vlack plus blue, black llis pink... nkt a specific order just different... i think this helps for different classes too..
I like it so much but we want to know more about the column method in note taking , Thank You So muCh 💛
This is a beautiful notebook and beautiful handwriting. Your note-taking is so clean and organized that I can easily recognize that. Very comfortable to watch.
2 columns instead of writing across the whole page. Why have I never thought of this simple yet relieving strategy?
Thank you for another great video :)
amazing timing!! i was just about to start writing notes for my history class haha thank you!!
Looks so nice there’s no way I could do this during the lecture it would look such a mess ! Looks gorgeous and very helpful
I can´t believe you're not a native english speaker. Your knowledge of the language is amazing! Congrats! And your notes are so neat and clean, I'm really jealous
This is so unique! I love it! If my teacher has PowerPoints online or follow the text book really well, I prefer to take my notes at home and at my own pace. While in class I'll jot down certain things that may be important. (ie formulas, key terms, outlines, ect) so it won't look like I'm just sitting there, but won't go into detail since some teachers just move too fast for my note taking
This was a really good video Mariana, I love the different views and the various ways you make your work aesthetic. It’s so motivating especially during exam periods! Much love 💕
HAND👏WRI👏TING👏GOALS👏
ps. I love your videos~
I love the idea of two columns! I’ll try that today- thanks as always :)
I just take notes on my laptop, and with a group of classmates we record the classes and transcribe them/write them out, and then after that I rewrite the transcription by hand on my notebook it's usually 12 digital pages per class so I have a separate notebook for each class, but I'm def gonna try the two column metod, it looks so pretty!
Gosto muito dos seus vídeos Mariana, mas é uma pena que não tenha tantos vídeos com legendas em português, pois infelizmente nem todos sabem inglês. Muitas pessoas gostam desse conteúdo de organização e estudo, mas por não compreender a língua acabam não acompanhando o canal. Só uma dica mesmo, beijos. 😘😉
Your notebook is a work of art 😭♥️ Which pens are you using on it?
Eduarda Bauer I believe she is using the Staedtler Fineliners. (She mentioned using them a lot in her recent what's in my bag video.)
in love with your notebook and handwriting Mariana!! 💕
Your correction methods are superb! Was wondering how in the world are your notebooks so neat without any strike throughs. A cleaner notebook is more peaceful for the mind. Relaxed mind leads to better studying. Great tips there!
I will start the University soon and as terrified as I am. Your videos calm my nerves and give me great tips. Much love and peace to you. xoxo
Damn girl. Your notes are so neat 😱
This note is really impressive! It looks like an art piece ;-). Thanks for your sharing.
Você é de Portugal ou do Brasil?
+Luana Carolina Portugal!
Seus vídeos são maravilhosos, adoro a qualidade deles, vou começar direito esse ano e com certeza vou seguir suas dicas! Beijos
I want to buy your notebook with your writing! Your writing is incredibly pleasing to the eye!!! 😍❤️ I'm so jealous!
Amazingggg!!!! Aesthetically pleasing yet practical. I love it!!!! Everything is very practical and relevant. Other channels are too “EXTRA” and “Over the top” for me.
I love your videos so much, They help me stay motivated and focused on my studies, xoxo from México!
We dont get this kinda notebooks.. square grid or dotted here in India.. If they r available that's so much expensive
Shreeya Mohapatra true.... only Amazon basics is available... but that's A5 and costs 299/-
The Refined Tech Yupp.
exactly!
Square grid is available. It's just not this aesthetically pleasing
Nikita Roza ohh.. yes..
I really enjoy watching your videos. In this video you mentioned learning English, which I have noticed because you are practicing English in these videos. It is great you are practicing, what I would recommend is to try to speak more say more things without being afraid of making a pronunciation or grammar mistake. No one will probably screw you for sounding wrong. As it is, I was learning Portuguese last summer, which I really enjoy, even though I am not a Portuguese speaker I can understand it. Also I have seen your Japanese pens, they are so cute. Any way I am also learning Japanese and seeing your pens made me keep watching your videos. Are you learning Japanese?
I am
Do you have any tips for creating a vocabulary notebook for learning language! at the moment i just do colummns but it looks sooo boring!
PS. thank you for putting all the tips in the description!
im not Mariana ( ) but you can try flashcards, or drawing symbols, or drawing connections between your mother language/ a middle language you know that is closer to the learning one...
What did the librarian say to the kids?
Read more
😂😂
Well you got me there
Nice 1
😂😂😂
I literally pressed read more so many times until I realised that was the answer 😂
ur notes are like a whole new level of godly
Your handwriting is so pretty and your notes are like a textbook! Lovely!
Your notes make me want to go back to school 😅 But Im already a teacher...
looking for new ways to organise myself in my second year and this video really helped! ❤️
Aww what sexy notes, super neat. It is cool that you are so neat and organized, most of us are not :) and need messy parts. Also pictures, some people like to draw as a way to remember.
Thank you, great video.
- Table of contents w pg numbers
- Two columns (notes + personal/prof. comments and references)
- Layout notes before writing
Thank you (muito obrigado pelo video!)
- First for the video content. Second, for the video description.
Wish you the best.
Your notes are so pleasing to the eye. Goodness.
I writey notes the second way. Two columns.eft foraim notes and right got my input or comments. I'm glad I'm not the only one who writes this way. I've done this for years. Your handwriting is neat though.
@Mariana's Study Corner I'm a fan of your videoes. So much so that I've showed my colleagues at work. They think that your writing is too, too neat and organized. They've even gone online to try and find the "font" that you're using. It was a big to-do. They even tried to say that you printed out your notes using the "font" you downloaded and then had the notes bound in a moleskin book cover. I, then, showed them several of your other videos of note taking and organization, especially the one using the iPad. It still did not end the discourse. Therefore, I told them that I'd write you to ask if you'd do a quick handwriting video to show your unique style of writing and note taking. Btw, it has inspired me immensely. Thanks in advance!
Damn, that looks like a book, not a notebook!
Your handwriting is unbelievable! It's like those medieval monks.
I just love this videos where you talk about tips, It's so helpful to me
Is that the note book you use in class or do you rewrite after class. 💖 the neatness of it.
its the book she uses in classes, to all of them
at home she probably separates everything
Perfeito. Esse negócio de corrigir a gramática e como escreve é sério. Copiar slide de apresentação eh um martírio. Pq não sei se na pressa deixo errado ou se peço pra copiar depois. E Tb qria não ter passar todo a limpo de novo... mas era o jeito pq sabia q qdo eu pegasse as notas ia ter alguma coisa em inglês escrita errada. Enfim. Valeu pela ajuda. Nos brasileiros queremos aprender uma matéria em outra língua temos q nos esforçar em dobro
Absolutely gorgeous notes. I've never actually thought about doing columns!
Hello Mariana!
I love the minimalism/neatness you use for all your notes, and the notebook looks just like something I’ve been searching for. I just have one question; I’m taking about 7 subjects next year, and do you think they can all fit into the moleskin notebook you’re using? Or should I get one book for each?
Again, I love your handwriting, awesome video!
My God. This is the neatest notebook I've ever seen
oo my jesus christ look how neat the colums are
I love the way you organize your notes in your notebook, do you mind sending a link to the hard cover a4 notebook.
Hey Mariana! I thought you preferred to use your laptop for note taking. Or is it that you use the laptop for textbook notes 📝
K Carter i think she mixes different methods
YOUR HANDWRITING IS BEAUTIFUL ❤️
your voice your notes and description are just amazing
I want to also ask you what brand/type of pen do you use on your notebook? thank you :)
This is so practical! I have a question though: how do you fit all your subjects into one notebook? I started using a ringed binder and paper with holes punched into it because the blank pages that were left in the end of a notebook back when I had a separate notebook for every subject, drove me crazy :/
i could listen to you talking forever, i adore your accent
hello, i just want to get some clarification on how you do the two column notes. Do you write in both column when taking notes or do you write in one column and leave the other column blank to fill in at home? Thanks :D
left is writing normally and right is examples, details, extra stuff about whats in the left
I liked the two-column notes idea and I tried it and it didn't really work as well because
1) I have bigger handwriting
2) I used a smaller notebook (a composition notebook)
so I recommend that you use a larger notebook to do it in and write smaller (if possible)
Thanx i will definately try out
ok, your handwriting is just AMAZING
Hi! I love your tips, can you elaborate more on tip #2-the two column method? Thx
Wow, I would like to have such confidence to use a MOLESKINE to take notes!!
Thank you! I will totally try this method. Seems much more neater and orginized than what I usually do. ☺
Love your videos! Super aesthetic and informative while being entertaining!
Hello Mariana! I looove your videos so much! Could you please make a video about how to make an Excel spreadsheet to organize your budget? It would be so helpful! 💚
Your notebook always looks clear 👍👍
English is your second language ?
楊豐禎 yeah, she's portuguese.
I think she is Brazilian
no, her first language is European Portuguese, from Portugal, she lives in the same city as me. And I really love your work Mariana, your videos help me a lot.
I really luv your notes!❤❤
Great video Mariana, really enjoyed it. Thank you.
Can you please tell me what pen do you use?
I want my handwriting to be like that of yours.
Seriously, your handwriting is damn good!!
I liked the fact of using minimum colours in notes!!
I just have to ask...do you ever make a mistake in your note? I see not scratch outs or white outs, etc. And how you keep it all so neat when taking notes in a lecture is beyond me. Impressive.
A representar Portugal! Adorei o vídeo, ajudou imenso
How to you take notes during class and at the same time change your pen color to write the important things since you don’t know what is going to be important when the teacher says it? I also have to hurry to keep up with taking my notes so also changing my pens to highlight stuff is too difficult
I don’t know how she does it but for me I know that typing my notes in class takes away that issue, then writing them out at home can mean I know what I’m dealing with. As well as this, I record the lecture so that I don’t miss anything out. Personally, I find typing class notes then rewriting them helps me remember, as well as using a notebook for any additional studying or research I’ve done
You could get a multi pen, that is, a pen with different colors in it. I used to love using those when i had them.
Typically I just... know when something is important 😂 a lot of the time the teacher would put an emphasis or a reminder to a certain point. On top of that if you have reading for the class and u can read ahead, write down what you find important, and then take notes from the class. Idk I think it’s like finding your style! ~
I love your videos! But I wanted to ask how you were inspired to use one notebook for all your classes , and the pros and cons of this system and who it would be suitable for?
Your handwriting looks exactly like you printed it! :D
Love your videos! :)
how do you take all your notes in one notebook? does all your classes relate to one another? I understand you have a table of contents but I don't think that would be enough for me, organization-wise. Thanks for the column and two pen tips!!
Eunbe Hong I think she's in law school so it all relates
I really like the way you organise yourself, but I was wondering if you could show us your notebook deeply. Love your videos ^^
Is there any chance you could provide us with a template of your alphabet?
Just a few rows with all of the letters of the alphabet (capital and small letter) and numbers from 0 to 9? Maybe also the classic "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
"?
I would LOVE to have my own writing like yours and that template would really help.
Thank you in advance and also keep up the great work you are doing with your blog and YT channel.
You really inspire me and my channel
Should we use correction pen or simply striking off and writing would be productive and clean
Your handwriting is so satisfying
Miga do céu seu inglês é ótimo, nem sequer imaginaria que fala português. Adorei o vídeo :)
If I had this type of handwriting I promise I would study everyday 🤓
Beautiful note taking thank you for your informative, useful tips
This has actually been really useful! Thanks.
Beautiful! I was wondering if I understood you correctly; do you use this one notebook for all your classes?
So helpful! Thanks!!!
Btw anyone knows the background music name and artist?? I really like it and wanna try listening to it solo I love piano music🙌🙏
this is so calming
I usually use 3 pens one for main ideas and titles, one for details, and side notes or examples.
Great video, but not trying to be mean or anything, but if you would like to improve your audio quality I would recommend purchasing a pop filter for your microphone
Your handwriting is so so so neat!! Aesthetic kwweeeennnn
Awesome video as always!
i absolutely love this method and im going to try it out thank you
