    📝 The less friction you experience, the more effective the note-taking system - Productivity Nerd Jeff Su
    One of the biggest issues with our default note-taking method is that it's very hard to "re-surface" relevant notes when the situation actually calls for it (we've all forgotten about notes we've taken in the past), so in this video I share How to Take Notes Productively and even include a Notion Template I've been using for the past few months that solves this problem!
    Effective note-taking systems pass the "Before," "During," and "After" tests:
    1️⃣ Before - How easy is it to start taking the note?
    2️⃣ During - How quickly can we get our thoughts down on paper?
    3️⃣ After - Are we able to resurface relevant notes when we need them?
    While I personally don't think the application itself matters all that much, I've found Notion to have the features that check all 3 of these boxes. Whether you're a student or working professional, this Notion note-taking video (more of a tutorial if I'm being honest) may give you some inspiration on how you can optimize your current note-taking process ✌🏻

      I have a very minor suggestion. As a newbie to Notion, I felt that too much was happening too quickly when you actually got into Notion usage. I am not sure if it was because you wanted to keep the video short, or perhaps you assumed that most people were already familiar with the platform etc. In my humble opinion, the video would have been much easier to follow through if you perhaps changed the pace and format of your presentation (for some technical topics such as this).
      Except that, I loved the video, the edit and the overall quality. Hope you consider this feedback positively! :)

      Still quite a draft idea, but perhaps you can firstly start on the Note-taking intro, meanwhile pinning a "logic tree" on top of the scene, and "highlight" the part you are narrating.
      Then move the "highlight" to "UA-cam" page or "Content strategy" page, the upper logic of your video, so subscribers can be mentally easy to follow your guide and have a quick visual check when re-surface.
