The importance of rest and relaxation
The benefits of slowing down
Don't just take notes. Read them
If you have a bunch of pads or notebooks filled with meeting notes that you never consult, your note-taking isn't providing the most value over time.
Re-reading notes does make a difference. Because the chief value of note-taking is storing information so it could be consulted later.

But the findings underline that typing out notes improves later recall, while copy and pasting text into notes is actually detrimental to learning because it encourages wordiness.

Structure and hierarchy
The most rigorously structured notes, those with hierarchal ordering and numbered subsections, are of the highest quality and accuracy.
But although these notes are significantly more precise than freestyle note-taking, there is little difference in the ability of the note-taker to recall the material.

Mind-mapping
It brings visual structure to notes, usually involving writing one word in the center and drawing offshoots from it with related ideas and phrases.
Mind-mapping is significantly more effective than just writing out notes and helps with presenting the information back with more clarity and coherence than traditional notes.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
