このコンテンツについて
Let’s start with a classic—The Cornell Method. Developed by a Cornell University professor, this system is all about structure and clarity. Imagine dividing your page into two columns with a little summary space at the bottom. On the right, you jot down your main notes—the meat of the matter. On the left, you pick out key terms, questions, or cues that help jog your memory when you review. And that bottom section? It’s reserved for a short summary in your own words. According to education experts, just the act of recapping what you’ve learned boosts retention. It’s like leaving breadcrumbs for your future self. The only catch? You have to prepare your notes page ahead of time, and it might not be the best fit if your meeting is just a deluge of statistics, numbers, or obscure fish-related facts.
Now, if you’re a visual thinker or you ever thought flowcharts were cooler than essays, mind mapping might be your best bet. You start with a central topic in the middle and branch out—literally. Each major idea gets its own branch, and those branches sprout twigs for supporting details or examples. Use colors, doodles, or whatever sparks your creativity. This approach is especially helpful if you’re brainstorming, tackling a complex subject, or just trying to make sense of a tangled web of ideas. Plus, it gives you permission to make your notes look like modern art, and who doesn't want that?
Of course, there’s the quick-and-dirty Sentence Method, where you jot down each point on its own line. It’s perfect for fast-paced lectures or meetings where organization takes a back seat to speed, and it’s way better than trying to write a novel as the speaker talks.
Here’s the big takeaway: the best note-taking method is the one that fits your style and the situation. Cornell is great for reviewing and organizing. Mind mapping shines for big-picture thinking. The Sentence Method is your go-to for capturing information on the fly. Try them out, mix them up, and see which works best for you.
