Okay, here’s my attempt: Okay, so I’m starting college in the fall and I’m really nervous about keeping up with all the reading. I’ve never been a great note-taker, honestly, and mostly just highlighted stuff in high school, which I now realize isn’t actually helpful. I need to figure out a good system for taking…
Okay, so I’m starting a new semester of college, and I’m realizing my old note-taking methods just aren’t cutting it. I’m ending up with either a word-for-word transcript (which is exhausting and I never actually use) or a bunch of scattered, barely legible scribbles that are basically useless when I try to review.

I’ve seen diagrams with the specific layout, but I don’t really understand the why behind it, or how best to use it. Specifically, I’m struggling with: How do I decide what goes…
I’m having a really hard time figuring out the best way to take notes. I’m a college student, and I’m studying biology right now. I’ve tried a few different methods, but nothing seems to really click. I’ve tried the classic linear note-taking, just writing down everything the professor says in a notebook, but I find…
