I always like to take messy notes while in lectures, and then rewrite them to have “Pretty Notes”. This in itself is my study method, and then I’ll just rewrite whatever I need to go over in a separate notebook. So my three notebooks in a subject are: “Messy/Lecture Notes” “Pretty Notes” “Study Notes”.

[@flormartinez9291]

yo thanks for the great idea. gonna do this

[@aurorannerenee]

@@vd7541 I rewrite them pretty, of course, but my study notes are me just writing the same thing over again. I need to have it separate so there’s a space where I understand what’s going on, and it’s organized and not the same information repeated in seven different pages

Quick tip for those who also have procreate (or really any drawing app with a paint bucket tool and layers). I like to draw my diagrams on Procreate so that i don’t accidentally miss any cracks while filling in gaps & then can use layers for diagrams such as the brain one here so I can better see that things line up without having to move them. I just prefer it as I am a neat freak when it comes to drawing and like the greater ability to edit my finished diagram

Just a protip: use colour coding wisely. If you don’t make out a scheme before, you might get confused. Either make a colour coding guide for yourself or follow someone else’s or just keep the colour coding on a minimum(of 2 or 3 colours). Hope it helped!

Yeah I agree but when you make notes like this you will study a lot and emphasize your studying by taking notes and when the exam time came you don’t need to reread all the slides and books just your notes. It’s time consuming in the beginning but in the end it saves a lot of time when you have just a little time.

Is there a way, that when you write your notes, the app will automatically change it to a font so that all your notes look perfect ? almost like it looks like you are typing with a font?

[@pippikrumeluss5167]

She didn't use the tool, but, yes, there is sich a tool in goodnotes. It changes the things you wrote into any font. Also the apple pencil , at least generation 2 of the Ipad pro has got a scribbles function. So you can write in any app, for example your emails per handwriting and it then turns automatically into font.
