In fact, you can't do anything blindly, you should pay attention to ways and means.
Before taking notes, we'd better make a plan for our notes, so that we can do it purposefully and save a lot of time.
How to build a suitable note-taking system from scratch? Let's take a look together!
0 1 Find a note template that suits you.
It is very important to find a suitable note template when writing notes, which can not only save time, but also play the best role of notes and get twice the result with half the effort.
Generally, I will divide the page into two areas, as shown in the following figure:
On the left is the main recording area, where you can write down everything you need to record.
On the right is the comment area, which is convenient for reviewing and reviewing knowledge points. It can be used to write notes and mark key points. In addition, problems arising from writing notes can also be written in this area.
This note-taking form is changed on the basis of Cornell's notes, which is simpler and suitable for my recording habit. You can also choose your own note template according to your own habits.

02 Set note symbols
Symbols are more expressive than words, so it is necessary to set some small symbols in your notes.
On the one hand, using symbols in notes is convenient for recording and saves time. On the other hand, it plays a decorative role to prevent the whole note from being full of words and not looking good.
The symbols I often use in my notes fall into two categories:
One is bullets, which mainly indicate the format and main points of notes.
The second category is the mark symbol, which is very important. It is used to mark the key points and difficulties, so that when reviewing, you can clearly know your mastery of knowledge.
See the following figure for details:
The above symbols are commonly used in my notes. You can also determine the appropriate symbol according to your own situation.
