At one time or another in life, we need to take notes – whether the most striking features in a lecture capture, annotate course notes, or note the follow-up measures a business meeting.

As with many skills that we need in life, taking notes is a skill you can improve the application of techniques, some of which are discussed in this article.

Here are some key techniques that can be a more efficient note taking system to develop.

1. Write legibly and maintain cleanliness – This seems like common sense, but I have notes that are illegible or because the author had to quickly scribble, or how he said he had just saw! The notes are documents that will be discussed after the event – either by you or any other person, it is important to be visible, so no time wasted on writing gibberish, or worse yet to decipher , recalling the points lost due to scribble incomprehensible operation. Remember to always read to write. If you have any notes for a presentation and subsequent difficulty, try a shortcut – you can always rewrite the note after the event to use. If your handwriting is illegible, you try to type using a word processor instead, especially if you can type quickly. Digital Notes are inherently clean.

2. Highlights – For a book or a class is annotated notes for a test or exam, try to key points in the background so when you browse further you can watch the points scored for a quick overview of the field have. You can choose a highlighter or underline with a simple pen. Which method you adopt, just keep it consistent.

3. Consistency – Use a uniform and standardized conventions for your notes. For example, if the short side? does “not understand″ or “meaning″ very important “, systematically used for all notes. This reputation is reinforced in the notes that you take or make and reduces the time required for your sense of symbols during your next review.

4. Visuals – If you see a picture to understand, try to add diagrams or drawings to improve your grades. For a visual person, a plan to get the message across better than many words. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
