Using a Laptop
Using a laptop is not an ideal way to take notes or to learn, during a lecture.
- A laptop distracts and impairs the learning process, as you might be tempted to play games or multitask with it during lectures.
- In the old-school hand-written method, you are processing the information, leading to better understanding and learning.
- How you use the computer also matters, and many students can use the internet to learn or re-check information on the fly.

The Best Note-Taking Methods
The Outline method
It requires you to structure your notes in form of an outline by using bullet points to represent different topics and their subtopics.
Start writing main topics on the far left ...
The Cornell Method
- The page is divided into 3 or 4 sections (top for title and, bottom for summary, 2 columns in the center).
- 30% of width should be kept in the left column while the remaining 70% for the right column.
- All notes go into the main note-taking column.
- The smaller column on the left side is for comments, questions or hints about the actual notes.
The Boxing Method
All notes that are related to each other are grouped together in a box.
A dedicated box is assigned for each section of notes which cuts down the time needed for reading and reviewing.
Apps are especially helpful for this method because content on the page can be reordered or resized subsequently.

Spaced Repetition Learning Systems
Spaced Repetition Time Intervals can be practiced using:
- The Analog spaced Repetition System: Making flashcards or 'boxes' of study material to review daily, weekly or bi-weekly.
- The Digital Method: Use an App like Anki, or SuperMemo.
A New Way To Study
Studying takes too much time, and there is only a limited number of hours. Spaced repetition method uses time intervals and makes you recall more information, using less time.
The spacing effect maximizes learning and your study becomes more efficient and consumes less time.
