The Ultimate guide To Taking Notes in College

My goal with this video is to answer every question you have about taking notes in college so that you can spend your time actually creating your notes instead of watching videos on how to take notes.

Here are some of the questions I plan on answering in this video:
What makes notes good
Which note-taking method is best
Where you should take your notes from
I will not be talking handwriting vs typing notes nor mentioning any note-taking apps because honestly that kind of stuff just doesn't matter as much as ya'll think it does.

Most students judge whether or not their notes are good by how much they write, how they look and how long it takes them.

None of that determines whether your notes are good or bad.

It's the thinking about the concepts you're being taught that creates learning, retention and the ability to retrieve it later when you need it. Learning happens in and with your brain and your notes are just a physical representation of all that thinking.

✏️How to work with me: As you know I am CEO of an Academic Life Coaching Company and I have (2) ways in which I work with students.

✔️Educated. The Art of Becoming A Good Student: This is a group coaching program that I created to teach you how to build a study routine, how to manage your time, how to read and write your notes, how to write papers fast, how to set up your weekly schedule. I give you all the templates, guides, and worksheets so that it's an easy step-by-step repeatable process. And the entire Mastering Your Mindset As A College Student Vault. This vault will teach you how to create motivation and persistence to achieve your goals even when you don’t feel like it, you're overwhelmed/stressed and shit is hitting the fan.

​
✔️The Your Best Semester Yet Coaching Experience (I have only two 1:1 spots currently open for this level of work with me):

This 1:1 coaching container is all about mastering the art of showing up for yourself consistently, no matter what. Your Best Semester Yet goes beyond just hitting a specific academic goal or creating a study routine. Your Best Semester Yet is about helping you heal your past self and rebuild your self-trust and confidence from the ground up. Every week the focus is just on you for 45 minutes. Every week we get to work on you becoming the best version of yourself. Every week we work on you thriving in your everyday life alongside college. Every week you get to know yourself better and better and I help you fall in love with who you are becoming. It's absolutely magical. And we do all of this with just your mind. It is incredible. You automatically get Educated when you work with me 1:1. ​
​
If you're interested in 1:1 coaching with me or want to join my group coaching program Educated but you have questions, concerns or hesitations - I've opened up my calendar for consult calls (where we figure out what's still missing and you can ask all your questions around if working with me makes sense).

I am struggling. Every time I take notes I tend to overdo it but I feel like I will never comprehend everything and I think everything is important so I need to write down everything. I have to read chapters because its online. But it takes me hours just to take notes because I don't know what it is important, so I make everything important. I am so stressed about the class now and I was my favorite till now.
