Use a hierarchical structure with main headings and sub-points. This organizes information logically and makes it easier to review later.
Use colors to categorize information (e.g., blue for definitions, red for examples, green for questions). This visual organization aids quick review and recall.
Handwriting notes has been shown to improve retention compared to typing. Use digital tools for organization, but write key concepts by hand to reinforce memory.
Divide your page into three sections: a narrow left column for cues/questions, a wide right column for notes, and a bottom section for a summary. Review by covering the notes and answering the cues.
Start with a central concept and draw branches for sub-topics. Use colors and keywords. This visual approach mimics how the brain associates ideas, making complex topics easier to understand.
