Hi guys!
Today I'm going to flipping through my biology notes
from the past school year.
If you're wondering why I still sound kind of weird,
I'm still sick unfortunately.
So I store all of my old notes
in this 2 inch binder
which was featured in one of my stationery hauls a while back.
If you're curious about the notes in the other tabs that you can see,
I'll be flipping through the rest later in the summer.
If you're watching this video quite a while after it's been published,
I'll link all of the other videos in the cards and in the description.
So as we continue to look through these notes,
I'm going to address some of the questions
that I receive a lot about my notes.
The supplies I use are a black brush pen,
a highlighter, and a black pen
and occasionally I also use a gray pen.
I'll link all the products I usually use in the description.
A while ago I filmed a video called "How I Take Pretty Notes"
and that has been my most popular video ever.
And on that video a lot of people were wondering
how I can keep up with a lecture while still making things look pretty.
And the way I do it is by writing down
just the information during the lecture
and if there's a pause I'll start
adding highlighting, boxes, little drawings, or diagrams.
Or if there's no pauses
then I'll finish it up after class.
I don't rewrite my biology notes
I personally think it's a waste of time
if you rewrite it only to make it look pretty.
But occasionally for math
I'll rewrite it, but it's not just recopying the notes
Instead I'm summarizing the information
and making a more concise version of my in-class notes
When you see me writing biology notes in my study with me videos,
that's because my teacher assigns us to
write notes from the textbook
to either preview or review a lecture.
This isn't specifically related to notes
but I get a lot of messages asking how to improve handwriting.
If you're referring to calligraphy, like the headers that I do
that's something you can learn, and I'll have a video about
learning calligraphy linked in the cards right now.
If you're referring to handwriting,
then I honestly have no idea how you can improve your handwriting
because I have naturally neat handwriting.
We're now just over halfway into the notes
and you can really see my calligraphy improving
and my style changing to be a little more simple.
Also, I just linked a lot of different things in the cards.
If you didn't want to interrupt this video to go watch another one,
at the end of this video you can click
the "i" icon in the upper right corner
and you can see all of the links again.
And that's pretty much everything I've got to say for now.
If you have any other questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.
But I'm more likely to respond if you send it to my Tumblr inbox
which is always linked in the description, along with an FAQ
I hope you enjoyed this video and were
inspired for your own notetaking
I post pictures of my notes on my Tumble and Instagram
which will be linked in the description.
I'll have two more videos linked on the screen to help you with notetaking
and I post new videos every Monday and Friday.
See you next time!
