Effective note-taking is a valuable skill for keeping, remembering, reciting and recalling information. Following these simple tips, you'll learn how to take notes.
1 Write down individual words or key phrases that are most connected to the topic at hand. These things include dates, names, theories and definitions. Ignore all the less important words and less related details.
Think about what you want to keep. Why are you taking the class? Why are you attending the seminar? Why did your employer send you to the conference? While it may be your first reaction to try to write down what you hear or see without missing a single word, you have to remember that you are taking notes in order to learn something from them. 2
Take any “new” information into your first consideration. 3 It is useless to you. Focus on writing down any new information that you’ ve never learned before. This will give you the most value from your note-taking
Use shorthand. Develop your own system of shorthand writing. 4 You can try writing things like “wd” for would or a plus sign for the word “and”. Instead of writing “popular sovereignty”25 times over the course of a history class, just write “pop sov”.
Improve the face value of your notes. You will be unwilling to go back to your notes if they are difficult to read. So it's important that they look visually appealing! For this, always start on a fresh page, write neatly, color-code your notes, and try using colored pens for different parts of your notes. 5
