    Tip for writing notes: when writing think that these notes is someone else’s paper you are writing on. It helps me think “if someone else is reading this. They should understand what happened”

      I usually do stuff (not only take notes lol) thinking of my future self. Like, “oh, I hate doing this assignment, but my future self is going to appreciate having a free weekend”. It helps me get shit done, and it makes me appreciate myself more.

      I'm actually the opposite, all my notes are very condensed and I take a lot of 'shortcuts' when I'm writing them down, to the point where my friends always have to ask me what it means. But I understand it and since all the information is in the shortest form possible, it's easier for me to remember.

      I had a lecturer for my Spectroscopy module (Chem degree) who, the first lecture we had with her, showed us the feedback she'd received from the two previous years. At the end of the semester, students have to submit anonymous feedback for lecturers and their teaching. She got a top score for the content, but a really low score for lecture flow. She showed us on the slide that most of her feedback was "moves on too fast, can't take notes quick enough and gain an understand the material at the same time". I thought she was going to say "I'm taking this on board and slowing down a bit for this module". No, she showed us all this and then said "well, this is MY lecture, so if you can't keep up, tough". So basically, HUNDREDS of students over MANY years have told her that she goes WAY too fast, and doesn't explain or answer questions (this is compared to all other lecturers they've had for the semester) and she thought that the problem wasn't with her, it was with the other hundreds of people. Needless to say, her module was consistently the one people had their lowest mark on.

    I got a bonus at my old job last year, and I opted to use it for an iPad and the new Apple Pencil (gen2). It was probably the most expensive indulgence I have ever made, and I was TERRIFIED to use it. I am heavy handed, so the screen was freaking me out some, even though I really liked the options for it.
    One of the things I purchased to make my life easier was a screen cover/protector. The one I have is a thicker plastic, but it doesn't affect the use of the screen at all. So if you, like me, are heavy handed and scared of using the screen, invest in a screen protector! I now use my iPad all the time and I am much more confident about using it.

    Some things I thought I think are worth mentioning:
    One Note:
    -It supports pressure sensitivity, so your strokes get thicker the more pressure you add. This makes your handwriting ten times better and more paper like
    - It also has a really good lasso tool which does exactly what the goodnote lasso tool does.
    - You can change your paper type, that means you get lined or boxed pages
    -It's really good to import pics and pdfs to write notes on.
    About the iPad and apple pencil thing:
    - Don't get an iPad Pro, it is super expensive especially for people who won't be using the hell out of it.
    - A great alternative is the iPad 6, has exactly half of all the features of the iPad Pro, and it supports Apple Pencil. This makes it really good for people using it for hobbies/studying. Also, it's half the price at $329.
    -If you're a college student, Apple has a really good student discount over its products!

      And for someone like me who always keep forgetting, everything i learn, everything i wanted to do, i just forget, i have a goldfish brain, so this really helps to remember and keep coming back to check on stuff i once did or wanted to do lol.

    Love these tips. For me at the end of the day - when I want to do review for exams, I still need to print my notes out and see them all spread out in one physical table so I can see the flow. Haha and it is easier on the eyes. Looking at screens for too long tires my eyes.

    OneNote has page templates for business, academic, planners, decorative, etc., under the Insert tab, so you can set your page to 8.5x11. Remove the Page Title under the View tab. You're also able to select the color and size of your pen and lasso your text. One feature that would be nice to have is the zoom that GoodNotes has.

      @@MrGarg10may In OneNote on Windows Desktop you can set the page size to A4 or literally any other size you want, because you can set the actual size (or choose a preset size, like A4). You can import a PDF into OneNote but you're right that it sets it as an image rather than an actual PDF. You can create your own templates with anything and everything you put on a page, which I've done to create a gratitude journal with custom borders for each section, or put my company logo as a header.

    Also, not sure if anyone else needs a decent flashcard app, but Anki is a free tool that lets you create flashcards that you can sync across your devices (you can also use drawings, insert pictures, etc). I also really like that it dynamically shows you the material you actually need to learn (i.e. you'll see flashcards you get wrong more often so you can actually learn the material).

    Great video. Just randomly watched it. I used to take digital notes when I was in school no so long ago using my Microsoft Surface. A device with a stylus is a must have when it comes to writing down equations, drawing quick graphs, circuits and what not.
    As for the comparison of OneNote with the other app (too lazy to lookup the name), I feel almost everything except the auto zoom in feature can be done on OneNote too.
    1. Make your life easier by making OneNote page ruled. There are different styles of ruled pages that you can choose from. Definitely makes note taking super easy.
    2. OneNote does have a tool where you can move sections of your notes around. I can't remember what the function was but I'm not entirely sure if it was like the lasso tool.
    3. You do have different customization options on OneNote for the type of pen/pencil you use.
    Honestly that auto zoom feature is probably the best differentiating feature on the other app because on OneNote maintaining consistent font sizes and page dimensions were impossible given that you could zoom in/out as much as you'd like.

      You know more people buying ipads is way worse than “chopping down trees”. More ipads = more mining of metals such as cobalt and lithium in developing countries by children trying to earn enough money to get food. Mining ruins environment. Think about all the pollution that it will take to make just the battery of the ipad.
      And a lot of paper manufacturers use bamboo. And bamboo grows extremely fast. Also especially in the U.S they take trees down in a sustainable manner so there’s enough time for other trees to grow. Developing countries don’t even care about sustainability.
