How to take notes effectively?
Here are some tips for #NoteTakingTransformation!

First, determine which note-taking methods suit you best:
📝📖 Handwritten on paper or devices
📠💻 Typed on devices

Next, consider which methods work best for you:

🙌🏻 Cornell Method
Provides a systematic format for condensing notes without laborious recopying. Write the notes in the main section and use the left-hand space to label each idea with keywords.

👩🏻‍🎨 Sketchnoting Method
Allows you to organise information visually on a page. The visual elements help you process the information and make it easier to review.

🌈 Mapping Method
Visually tracks your notes regardless of conditions. It requires minimal thinking and clearly shows relationships.

🎖 Outline Method
Most effective for structured and detailed lessons, allowing you to organise information effectively.
