I am an avid note-taker, and I can take notes even if I play werewolf killing. To this end, my friends gave me the name "Death Note".
Why do you have to take notes when playing games? There is only one reason. You can't remember the arguments made by previous people. .
As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as bad writing. If you want to remember the information, you must make a good record. How to make a good record has become a science.
Recording itself is a very meaningful thing. I like taking notes, because I think anything we record now will be a treasure in our future life.
We receive a lot of information every day. As soon as there is a large amount of information, we need to learn to filter information and organize knowledge. By taking notes, you can gradually form structured thinking and help build your own knowledge system.
The rise of knowledge payment industry helps me to integrate knowledge quickly and bring more knowledge at the same time, so how to use knowledge for myself needs to be digested by taking notes.
Taking notes can not only help yourself, but also share it with others for reading, learning and communication. This is a self-serving and altruistic process.
So the key is, how do we take notes? What methods can help us take notes?
First, we can define the notes.
What is a good note?
Good notes first have at least three points in information transmission: ① clear conception; ② Express clearly; ③ Coherence and logic.
I think a good note is even aesthetic, which depends more on logic than visualization.
Based on this, share several practical handwritten note-taking methods and portable electronic note-taking methods to get started easily and help you become a master of note-taking immediately.
Handwriting has always been a good way to take notes, which can quickly get the immediate thoughts in our minds.
① Fluorescence labeling
It is a very rude way to take notes directly by hand in a notebook with a highlighter, and it is also a way that many people are basically born with. You can take notes in the original text directly with the help of symbols. Because our brain will think when it receives information, and something will be written down.
Marking textbooks with fluorescent pens may be used more or less when we study. This is indeed a very suitable note-taking method to help reading textbooks, but many people do not use it systematically, so they often only achieve outstanding results.
So how should we get started systematically?
Prepare a highlighter with your favorite color, and define different uses for different colors, such as red marking key points and yellow marking problems to be solved. In addition, I have defined different usages for my favorite common symbols, such as triangles representing concepts and circles representing knowledge points.
The advantage of fluorescent notes is that they are easy to use and can be very personalized, and everyone can match their own unique style.
② Post-it notes
Everyone knows what a post-it note is, so what is a post-it note? Post-it notes method is based on the color of highlighter, which can realize information classification and quick retrieval and expand the space.
The advantage of post-it notes is that you can take notes anytime and anywhere, capture inspiration and save space at the same time.
③ Hand-painted visual notes
Hand-drawn visual notes record the information that was originally just words by hand, and combine some small image elements to help understand and remember the text information.
④ Cornell Notes
The last method about handwritten notes is now known by more and more people, which is called Cornell note-taking method, also called 5R note-taking.
The basis is to divide each page into three areas, with the largest space at the top right for taking notes, the left quarter for writing an outline and the lower fifth for writing a summary.
If you are familiar with this method of taking notes, you will find that you can actually complete Cornell notes with post-it notes, because post-it notes happen to be a whole area. Build every page.
The advantage of Cornell's notes is that they tend to be templated, which allows you to focus your notes quickly and pay attention to what you want to write down, that is, people can easily find the key points and think about their own gains.
These are the four methods of handwritten notes that I want to share, hoping to inspire you.
Handwritten notes can make us take notes quickly with pen and paper, but it can't meet the demand of recalling information at any time after accumulation. Therefore, more and more people like to take notes and file them electronically.
① Mind Map Notes
Mind mapping, also known as mind mapping and brain mapping, is a tool to open the brain by triggering associations related to the central theme through a central keyword or idea. As a tool to help open divergent thinking, it is now more and more used to record and organize ideas.
With the popularization of software applications such as XMind, on the one hand, people are more and more skilled in using mind maps, and the functions of mind maps have been greatly developed. On the other hand, the more people master the skills of mind mapping, the application developers will try their best to help them realize more different presentation modes or structures and help users take notes.
Most importantly, mind mapping is a very prominent point, and it is also recognized by the public that it can help us cultivate structured thinking. Therefore, mind map notes have made more and more people accept and learn to use them.

The commonly used tools of mind mapping are XMind, Baidu brain map and Process on.

② Knowledge card notes
Knowledge card is a more structured note-taking method than mind map, and it tends to integrate information. A card explaining a knowledge point can be understood as the information extraction of the essence version and the condensed version.
More and more official WeChat accounts will insert knowledge cards into articles when pushing pictures and texts, and knowledge cards are gradually introduced into many paid courses as course benefits.
The common tools of knowledge card are PPT and KEYNOTE.
③ Golden sentence card notes
There is also a kind of note-taking method similar to knowledge card called golden sentence card. As the name implies, golden sentence cards are mainly used to record famous sayings or core ideas.
Inserting the golden sentence card into the picture format in the article can not only beautify the typesetting of spaced words, but also refine the essence to help the transition summary, so it is used for reference by more and more personal brands.
