hey guys in today's video i'm going to
00:00:14
be sharing a couple of
00:00:15
easy and quick ways to make your notes
00:00:17
look a little bit cuter
00:00:18
i can testify that it is in fact
00:00:20
possible to keep up with a
00:00:22
teacher or professor who is just
00:00:23
spitting a freestyle rap instead of
00:00:25
speaking at a normal pace
00:00:27
while incorporating a few of these tips
00:00:30
and techniques so without further ado
00:00:32
let's jump into the ideas our first
00:00:33
category is a couple of
00:00:35
easy but aesthetic and punchy title
00:00:38
ideas because
00:00:39
if you have a nice bold attention
00:00:41
grabbing title design
00:00:43
it can really distract from any absolute
00:00:47
garbage pile mess disaster that may be
00:00:49
happening below it
00:00:50
and just for an organization technique
00:00:52
it really helps to have a clear
00:00:54
title that way you can flip through your
00:00:56
notes and easily
00:00:57
be able to tell what topic you're
00:00:59
covering to start with i think the
00:01:01
absolute easiest thing you can do to
00:01:02
make your title stand out is to write as
00:01:04
you normally would but using a nice
00:01:06
thick juicy and crisp black marker
00:01:09
instead of your normal pen or pencil to
00:01:12
add a little bit of
00:01:12
extra spice you can do the exact same
00:01:15
thing but using a colorful marker
00:01:17
i find that it's quite economical to get
00:01:19
colored markers instead of colored pens
00:01:21
anyways so
00:01:22
use it in your titles color your little
00:01:24
heart away
00:01:26
you can also try out a couple of quick
00:01:28
easy ways to change up your handwriting
00:01:30
for instance
00:01:31
cursive and no you don't need to learn
00:01:33
the fancy calligraphy style i'm doing
00:01:35
here i'm sure we've all just learned
00:01:37
basic regular joined letters cursive in
00:01:39
grade school although
00:01:40
i am becoming an old woman so i'm not
00:01:42
really 100 sure what they teach the
00:01:44
kiddos in school these days
00:01:46
something else you can try is tall thin
00:01:48
capital letters which
00:01:50
um i'm not sure i'd explain except for
00:01:52
that they are tall
00:01:54
thin capital letters hopefully the
00:01:56
visual is self-explanatory
00:01:59
next let's talk about add-ons which you
00:02:01
can combine with the other methods that
00:02:03
i previously mentioned or
00:02:04
as the name would suggest you can just
00:02:06
add on to your regular handwriting
00:02:08
and the first is just a squiggly little
00:02:10
line underneath
00:02:11
the text you can also just draw a
00:02:13
rectangle around your words which i know
00:02:16
seems very basic but it looks really
00:02:18
good and it works for
00:02:19
everyone even if you think you have very
00:02:22
little artistic ability
00:02:23
so quadrilateral it up even if you think
00:02:26
you can't do perfect red angles to make
00:02:27
a rectangle
00:02:29
this next idea is something i personally
00:02:31
believe that i popularized in the study
00:02:33
gram community because
00:02:34
i started doing this like five years ago
00:02:36
and i've been in this community for so
00:02:37
freaking long
00:02:38
maybe that makes me big headed but
00:02:40
long-winded tangents aside
00:02:42
the idea is basically to draw two
00:02:44
horizontal bars using a highlighter or
00:02:46
the thick side of a marker
00:02:48
something else you can try with your
00:02:49
highlighters is to highlight underneath
00:02:52
your text kind of making a
00:02:53
colored in box you can also add two cute
00:02:57
little symbols on the sides of your
00:02:59
regular title like
00:03:00
stars or hearts or smiley faces or
00:03:02
leaves or
00:03:03
anything that you desire my final
00:03:07
fanciest yet still simple title idea is
00:03:10
to draw a banner
00:03:11
and it's a lot easier than it looks you
00:03:13
just draw a line on top of the text a
00:03:15
line below the text
00:03:16
and then a greater than symbol and less
00:03:19
than symbol to close off that banner box
00:03:22
alrighty it is me five hours later
00:03:25
because i forgot to film this the first
00:03:26
time
00:03:27
here to bring you a word from today's
00:03:29
sponsor care of
00:03:31
care of is a vitamin supplement brand
00:03:33
that also provides
00:03:34
personalized resources i took the quiz
00:03:37
and started using the daily vitamin
00:03:38
packs about a month and a half ago
00:03:40
and i've really been enjoying it so far
00:03:42
the vitamins i have are calcium which
00:03:44
supports bone health especially because
00:03:45
i'm lactose intolerant
00:03:46
iron which helps with energy and
00:03:48
cognitive function
00:03:50
and this is especially important for me
00:03:52
because i have a diagnosed iron
00:03:54
deficiency
00:03:55
what up almost anemic gang and the last
00:03:58
herbal supplement that
00:03:59
they recommended for me is rhodiola
00:04:01
which is meant to help with endurance
00:04:03
and exercise recovery
00:04:04
with the new year of vibes coming along
00:04:06
one of the main things i'm trying to do
00:04:08
is look for these smaller ways to take
00:04:11
care of my health and
00:04:12
make it joyful whenever possible and i
00:04:14
feel like these cute little supplement
00:04:17
packets with the daily quotes and
00:04:19
adorable graphics just make me happier
00:04:22
when i'm taking them and therefore more
00:04:24
likely to actually do what
00:04:25
is necessary to support my health care
00:04:27
of also sets itself apart from other
00:04:29
vitamin brands because they offer a
00:04:30
holistic
00:04:31
online quiz to help you identify what
00:04:34
vitamins
00:04:35
and supplements might help your needs
00:04:37
and it's all conveniently delivered in
00:04:39
one package to your door every month
00:04:41
additionally the daily packs are made
00:04:43
with compostable eco-friendly film
00:04:46
that you can find out how to compost at
00:04:48
take care of dot com
00:04:49
p slash eco so if this sounds
00:04:52
interesting you can take the quiz and
00:04:53
see what vitamins and supplements care
00:04:55
of will recommend for you
00:04:56
at the link in the description and you
00:04:59
can use my code studyquill for 50
00:05:01
off your first order that's all for the
00:05:03
sponsored segment and now back to your
00:05:05
note-taking tips next let's talk about a
00:05:07
couple of swaps you can make within your
00:05:08
studying toolkit
00:05:10
one thing to keep in mind though is that
00:05:11
don't focus too much on this section
00:05:13
if you haven't yet like mastered your
00:05:15
actual note-taking methods
00:05:17
because supplies are not the thing that
00:05:19
will make you
00:05:20
organized and studious you're the only
00:05:22
one who can do that that reminder to be
00:05:23
mindful of your consumerism aside here
00:05:25
are my swap recommendations
00:05:26
first i definitely recommend making the
00:05:28
swap from taking notes in pencil to
00:05:30
black pen
00:05:31
it always looks nicer for some reason
00:05:35
i think it's because the black pen
00:05:37
contrasts more sharply with the white
00:05:39
paper and the lighter
00:05:40
gray or blue lines on the page and
00:05:43
although the difference doesn't look so
00:05:45
stark on camera for some reason
00:05:47
the pencil gray is significantly lighter
00:05:50
than the black of a black pen
00:05:52
so it doesn't look as nice with
00:05:54
highlighter over it
00:05:56
i know it's a bit scary but once you get
00:05:58
used to using white out instead of an
00:05:59
eraser it's pretty much the same
00:06:01
experience
00:06:02
except more aesthetically pleasing
00:06:04
you've probably already
00:06:06
heard of my next swap idea but just in
00:06:08
case you haven't let me introduce you to
00:06:09
the wonders of
00:06:11
pastel highlighters the muted color
00:06:13
palette is just so much easier on the
00:06:15
eyes than
00:06:16
neon traditional highlighters and if you
00:06:18
don't want to buy new highlighters you
00:06:19
can also just use a crayola super tip
00:06:21
set they've got a lot of nice pastel and
00:06:23
muted colors in there
00:06:25
speaking of highlighters i would also
00:06:27
recommend opting for thinner tipped
00:06:29
highlighters over thicker ones when you
00:06:31
can
00:06:31
maybe this is just because i do have
00:06:33
quite small handwriting so it just looks
00:06:34
more natural for me to use a thinner
00:06:36
highlighter with my
00:06:38
short small handwriting but i don't know
00:06:40
to me it just
00:06:41
looks a lot nicer also try to find paper
00:06:44
with
00:06:44
lighter or thinner lines printed on it
00:06:46
so that it doesn't
00:06:48
clutter up the page as much it doesn't
00:06:49
stand out as much
00:06:51
and draw away attention from the words
00:06:53
you're writing down
00:06:54
the third category is just some general
00:06:56
formatting tips which
00:06:58
is something you will kind of have to
00:06:59
think about before you start taking
00:07:01
notes
00:07:02
and carry on throughout the entire
00:07:03
process so it's not as much of an
00:07:05
easy five second hack as the rest of
00:07:07
them but here are some
00:07:09
things to keep in mind the best way to
00:07:11
prevent your notes from looking overly
00:07:13
cramped
00:07:13
is to leave a lot of white space
00:07:15
wherever you can like skipping a line
00:07:17
after each section or leaving your
00:07:19
margins nice and wide
00:07:21
you could also consider folding your
00:07:22
page in half and writing with two
00:07:24
columns instead of just one
00:07:25
really large one it kind of eliminates
00:07:28
the unevenness on the right hand side
00:07:30
and instead corrals the text into two
00:07:33
nice rectangles although your mileage
00:07:35
may vary
00:07:36
and lastly i want to point out two minor
00:07:39
details about bullet points the first
00:07:41
is that a dot circle bullet point tends
00:07:44
to look a lot nicer than a dash in my
00:07:46
opinion
00:07:47
also if you have a mega long line of
00:07:49
text that goes over to the next line
00:07:51
below it
00:07:52
make sure that you line up the start of
00:07:54
that second line with
00:07:55
where the first line of text starts not
00:07:58
where the bullet point on the first line
00:08:00
starts
00:08:01
that verbal explanation just sounds very
00:08:02
clunky so for the visual
00:08:04
the one on the top just tends to look a
00:08:06
little bit worse than the one
00:08:07
on the bottom next let's talk about
00:08:10
visual aids
00:08:10
and contrary to popular belief on study
00:08:14
gram you do not in fact have to go
00:08:15
full-on picasso and make a masterpiece
00:08:19
out of your sheet of binder paper
00:08:21
instead here are a couple of ideas for
00:08:23
ways you can add
00:08:23
visual appeal and some actual useful
00:08:27
studying tools all without having a
00:08:30
single lick of artistic talent
00:08:31
one thing you can do that requires
00:08:33
literally zero artistic ability is to
00:08:35
decorate with stickers
00:08:37
it really appeases that inner third
00:08:39
grader inside of me who's been
00:08:40
collecting
00:08:41
stickers for an entire decade i also
00:08:44
recommend printing out diagrams whenever
00:08:46
possible because
00:08:47
it serves as a helpful reference for
00:08:49
your studying
00:08:50
and it means that you don't have to draw
00:08:52
them yourself
00:08:54
another thing to print out that will
00:08:55
make your life easier is these various
00:08:57
templates that kind of depend on the
00:08:59
subject you're studying for example if
00:09:01
you're doing polar coordinates you can
00:09:02
print out polar graphs
00:09:04
or for organic chemistry you can print
00:09:06
out these hexagon
00:09:07
writing paper sheets last but not least
00:09:10
you can also print out photos that are
00:09:11
relevant to the subject material and
00:09:13
can both add a little bit of spice to
00:09:16
the
00:09:16
visual appeal of your page and just help
00:09:19
you understand the material better for
00:09:21
example
00:09:22
for my film notes i put in a photo of
00:09:25
the visual style that i'm discussing
00:09:28
and those are all of the ideas i wanted
00:09:30
to share with you i hope you found them
00:09:32
helpful although one thing to keep in
00:09:33
mind is that
00:09:34
aesthetic does not equal effective
00:09:37
studying
00:09:38
so although some of these tips and
00:09:39
tricks can increase your studying
00:09:41
efficiency in some ways
00:09:43
they really are focused on aesthetic if
00:09:45
you would like some more
00:09:46
functional note-taking techniques i will
00:09:48
have more videos about that linked in
00:09:49
the description
00:09:50
anyways thank you for watching and i
00:09:52
upload new videos about student life
00:09:54
every week
00:09:55
