There are many ways to take notes, there is always one that suits you!

Previous article "Learn to take notes using this method, you will definitely be awesome!" 》Introduced some ways of thinking and practical methods of visual note-taking, which received praise and encouragement from many friends. At the same time, friends also raised some questions in the message area:

The hand-drawing here is not art, but It is a way of visual expression. This kind of visual note will stimulate and stimulate the right brain, making it easier for us to remember and digest the recorded content. It does not require us to draw like an art master. To a certain extent, we only need to remember the simple drawings of common objects in life and be able to draw stick figures. Hand-drawing simple drawings is like learning words, there are only so many commonly used in daily life.

Now let’s think about under what circumstances we would use note-taking?

Meetings, listening to lectures and studying, reading, traveling (writing travel notes and must-bring items), shopping lists...

I have seen so many note-taking techniques, but I don’t know when it’s my turn. How to start, what to do?

This is a question that many people often ask when taking notes. Below I will introduce how I learned to take notes. There are various note-taking techniques. I believe there is always one suitable for you!

If you don’t know how to take notes and don’t want to spend time thinking, this problem can be easily solved!

Moubao has prepared a variety of notebooks with different functions for you, the most common of which are "Cornell" and "McKinsey" notebooks. Just search for keywords directly on Moubao Got it!

These two note-taking methods are introduced in detail in the book "Smart People Use Square Notepads". I personally feel that these two notebooks have a very clear division of the functional areas of notes. , the title is eye-catching, the content and discovery points are reasonably divided, and there is an area for summary. It is very suitable whether you are a student party attending classes or office workers having meetings and discussions!

For me, compared to Cornell and McKinsey notebooks, I prefer to use blank notebooks or square notebooks to DIY to create my own note-taking system.

If you want to DIY like me, but don’t know where to start, then start by “imitating the master”!

I usually follow the masters in the three fields of "hand-drawn hand-drawn accounts", "PPT" and "graphic design" on Weibo, official accounts and INS, and learn hand-drawn sketches by copying them from hand-drawn hand-drawn accounts. For strokes, learn typesetting and layout from PPT experts, learn color matching and find creative inspiration from graphic design experts, imitate excellent works and think about the ideas of note-taking experts.

In life, consciously pay attention to some billboards, leaflets and some creative small shops, and accumulate materials anytime and anywhere.

Let’s take a look at the notes of some experts first!

The first time I saw this notebook, I fell in love! It has a very good appearance, not only the layout is exquisite and the color scheme is harmonious, but besides the tape and seal, the owner of the note has pure watercolor hand-painted illustrations and is good at various fancy English writing methods.

Imagine that at ten o'clock in the evening, a smoked lamp is lit in the study, and the room is filled with fragrance. No matter how noisy outside the window, the heart gradually calms down and records the slow life of the day. How comfortable it is!

This type of note is perfect for recording life thoughts, travel notes, food and movie reviews!

Both notes contain titles, lines and simple hand-drawn drawings. They are very suitable for sharing some micro lessons, travel routes, meeting discussions, and dismantling the main content of a book.

This type of notes can be complex or simple. If you are listening to a professional academic report, you can add more text content and reduce drawings; if it is a relatively relaxed talk show or micro class, you can use text to highlight the key points. Add simple hand-painted and color visual expressions.

Notes like Cao Jiang’s, with clearly organized text and using colored pens to highlight key points, are very suitable for daily records.

The notes in the picture above are really works of art! This blogger basically expresses his life and records inspiration through full-scale hand-drawing. When he has plenty of time, he can immerse himself in it, and his writing can be full of fun every minute!

In addition, I have to say that mind mapping is also an excellent hand-drawn note.

Mind mapping, as a revolutionary learning tool, is a brainstorming method that uses both left and right brains. It mainly combines image thinking and abstract thinking, and uses pictures and divergent lines to think. Not only is the image concrete, but the mind map is very simple to use and has a wide range of applications.

It facilitates the organization of thoughts, better memory, efficient learning, easier to see the whole picture of things, and shows stronger creativity.

Use mind mapping to make changes according to the actual situation, and it can also be used as a tool for parents to tutor their children.

For example, this is a hand-drawn note drawn by Jian You based on the first Chinese lesson "Autumn Pictures" in the second grade of elementary school in order to tutor her daughter.

A picture can explain a thousand words, which not only helps children build a sense of images, but also helps us regain our image power and sort out our thinking, benefiting both work and study.

We can also learn from the layout and design styles of some PPT masters’ templates.

It is not difficult for those who observe carefully to discover that the notes made by visual thinking are actually hand-drawn versions of PPT!

After reading so many hand-drawn notes by great masters, do you have any ideas?

With so many recording methods, you can choose the one you like to practice, or you can practice or use it comprehensively according to the specific situation. I believe that through constant exploration, you will eventually find the one that suits you. .

Taking notes, just like writing, the surprises accumulated through its growth and passage of time have far exceeded its own meaning.

Before you know it, you will fall in love with it, so let’s take action together and enjoy the friction between pen and paper!
