How I Take Notes

Hey Guys!

I've been trying to explain my note-taking method forever, because it is the most plain thing ever, but I like it, and it works for me.

The first page of notes contains the actual notes from lecture videos. The course I'm taking is The Art Of Music Production, an open online course from Coursera.

I used bullet points (either little circles or little dashes, usually) to denote that it's just a standard note. Something I throw in little symbols to make the distinctions between quotes, definitions, methods, etc., But that depends on the subject.

One if the mini assignments was to listen (for pleasure, not to analyze) to one of my favorite songs and note the emotions that the song evoked. On the opposite page (the back of the page before the note page), I noted down the emotions I felt throughout the song, in blue pencil to show it was separate from my main notes.

The blue and pink pencils were actually purchased recently, but I don't where I bought them from.

The blue is for the actual notes (but not the main notes), and the pink is for little drawings or sarcastic side things that don't relate to my actual notes.

Finally, here are my supplies, noted with names (except the pen, because my mom ordered it after I tried to steal hers, so I don't know the product name).

And that is how I take my notes!

Happy studying, guys, gals, and nonbinary pals! Peace out!
