Key Principles Of Making Notes

To make good notes, you must take note of these three things:

• Rephrase the original idea and translate it into your own. Use your own words to distill it in your mind better.
• Connect ideas together. Create links between your ideas for better understanding and recall.
• Build upon the ideas. Add your own examples, own questions, and other ideas related to it.

In summary, actively engage with your notes. There are great methods such as mind mapping, digital gardening, and the Zettelkasten method.
