Hey guys! Thanks for tuning in to my premiere - I had lots of fun chatting with you guys and learning about what you study! :) To download the dark paper templates to GoodNotes 5: 1. Visit the link in the description box on your iPad and download the file. 2. Open GoodNotes 5 (don't open a notebook) and navigate to the settings in the top right hand corner. 3. Choose "Notebook Templates" and you will find an "Import" option on the screen. 4. Select your newly downloaded files and it should pop right in there!

[@bernardiaVEVO]

There is no dark plain cornell not squared template file... please update

[@alinersssss]

please pin your comment! great video :D

[@raphprins6961]

I am still struggling to download the different colored Cornell templates. It says that the file which the templates comes in, is not downloadable ;(

[@Previous1Next2]

I also can’t seem to download them onto my iPad Pro. Seems like it is on view only and not downloadable..

[@JaniceStudies]

@@Previous1Next2 That's very strange. It is working for my followers on Instagram. Can you run me through how you are trying to download?

Yo this is crazy, I'm getting a a iPad and I was thinking about how to setup my notes and then you posted this

[@Hazel2264]

You are so lucky- you got an ipad- *Sobs and cries*

[@FuckYourCredentials]

I'm so excited. I've been following you for a while and I just can't figure out a efficient way to take my notes on goodnotes. This video will be soo helpful! Thank you

[@bonitaritz7052]

i’m so excited to try this for the upcoming semester! do you think you could make a video on how to backup your notes sometime?

[@alphestanley7194]

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER! I’ve been struggling with note taking and my eyes get really dry when writing with white paper. It’s pretty neat and highly customisable!

[@ashchan1067]

Thanks so much! First year has just wrapped up for me and I’m so excited to use these new methods I’m cultivating.

[@betinaaksoz6246]

The bad thing about the dark paper is the lack of highlighters

[@JaniceStudies]

Totally true! Definitely miss the highlighters when using dark paper.

[@luciathefemininewoman]

Berna Aksoz Instead of highlighting use lighter colors, but use white all the time. If you need to write in different colors choose lighter colors but make sure they’re not too light.

[@ciao_abhi]

also printing is a hassle

[@alicia-hd2cs]

@@ciao_abhi printing in black templates would be a huge waste.

[@pinoyozzyworld]

@@ciao_abhi i think you can invert the color before printing it? 🤔

I’m definitely I’m going to true the cornel method, I have been revising with my iPad and doing active recall and it has really changed my revision game

okay black paper is so so pretty i need to try this

[@Josevku]

My method of taking notes on my Goodnotes 5 is exactly identical to yours; I found it the most effective to learn stuff quickly and effectively

[@rachelmartina9422]

janice, thank you for uploading this on christmas holiday so i have the time to adopt & adjust to the methods you shared here instead of rushing to it during an ongoing semester 🥺👌🙏❤️

I like this a lot! I got an iPad in december and just now learning how to use it properly with the note taking. Thanks!

Oof OMG tysmmm! I have recently started taking notes on my ipad and found ur channel and ILY ur contentss! They r so relaxing to watch! And also thnx once again cz after i downloaded ur templates i was just like very confused how to add them and stuff it really helped! Oh and thanks once again for ur templates and the tips 😊❤️ really appreciate!

[@EricTrang]

This is very helpful. I always use the default 0.4mm and yellow paper background. It feels somewhat awkward for me. I tried your recommendations, it feels just right!

[@littlejmd07]

Dang Janice must you be such a perfectionist now I'm bummed about my crappy looking notes jk that's like lecture giving perfect notes 2👍

[@sebabratalahiri5429]

Never thought notes would look that good with black layout . Thanks for the tips

[@sepharoseee]

This looks amazing! I'm a medical student and already own a 6th gen ipad but I can't afford an apple pencil (sadly).. 😂 Hope to try this soon though.

I’ve been in this program called AVID from 10th-now (I’m a senior in highschool!! C/o 2020🎓!) and we HAD to have Cornell Notes for our “Binder Checks”. I may write my notes like this on my iPad in college, not sure but it definitely works amazingly!

Do more videos on how you actually take your notes. Like what it is you're writing down in that "normal" note column. Please do a video on how to do it in a classroom, normal and from a textbook xx

What do you do with articles you have to read? Do you highlight/mark up? If so, what app do you use and where do you save them? Or, do you take a page of notes for each article?

[@xi209ejazelfath4]

hey Janice!, both videos and templates are great but I would really appreciate if you share a template for white grid but not the Cornell one. Thank you🤍

Hi! I Will be studying medicine next year (hopefully) and I am looking for a good way to take notes. I really like the iPad/tablet with a pen. I was wondering if you take these notes on your iPad during class or after so you can really make it look neat?

[@SaloXox]

Can’t wait

[@mysticbinch]

Just a question Janice, when/if you print your notes, do you change the colour? I like the dark background and white text but want to print out my notes afterwards. Thanks :)

[@aaliyahbattle9820]

I just found you on KZbin but you have successfully convinced me to transfer over from handwriting notes on paper to digital. Any others that I watched didn't break down the process as simply as you have for a beginner. Thank you so much!!!!

[@katiex3715]

Hi Janice! I love your videos so much, they inspire me to revise for my GCSE’s. I have a couple of questions. Do you have a matte screen protector on your iPad? And also, once you’re done university, will you stop making these kinds of videos? xx

[@JaniceStudies]

Hi! I hope to continue making these videos as I will likely be pursuing further education! I am using Paperlike screen protector :)

Janice Studies thanks for the reply! i’m glad that you’ll continue videos 😊. also, congratulations on your engagement! x

[@lilliwerner476]

Hey Janice! I love your vids and they inspire me to do better in school and to take care of my notes. But I have one question: How much time out of your week does it take for you to take your notes on average? It seems to be rather time-consuming. Thank you

[@kawaiidevilchuu361]

I would also like an answer to this question, unfortunately notes take a big chunk of your time :(

[@LifewitAniyahJolie]

Thank you;

[@solitairez3719]

i’m so excited for this!

[@vijaychaudhari2045]

Hey, What's the HEX colour code for that Red color you had used? That colour looks really so dope.

[@youngTAGZ]

Pencl notes automatically convert your note to dark or light depending on your settings on your iPad. It’s amazing in the day you can study on white paper and then easily convert it to dark paper at night. I find studying on dark paper at night is easier. And then if you want to print your notes you can easily switch it back to white paper check out the app.

[@manjanadiepold9513]

I´m watching your videos the whole evening (they´re awesome btw) and I feel like I can skip the whole medical studies. xD

hey, do you print those notes out to revise them, or do you prefer revising them on the iPad itself?

[@wangyuexing]

I have a question: Is it ok to change colors for each note you take? I use one color for each note so for one, I’ll do blue everything (blue highlighter for subheadings, blue pen for key terms) Then the next note I want to do orange. Or is it better to keep the same color code for all notes like you? Is my way effective? Thank you so much and have a nice day :)

[@luciem4562]

Is your iPad big enough for note writing or would you recommend the 12.9 size for notes?

[@mayankgopalan5605]

Hey Janice! Thanks a ton for your videos on iPad Notes Taking. It helps a lot, to me and many. Can you please tell me if I should use a Tempered Glass or not on my iPad? Do you use one? If yes, which one? If no, why? I mean, is there a specific reason of not using one? Please do reply. Love. ❤️

[@JaniceStudies]

I have not tried a tempered glass screen protector so I don't want to speak to the pros/cons as I'm not familiar with it. I currently use the Paperlike screen protector which provides a more papery feeling when writing. This is the only iPad screen protector I have ever used!

Hi, can I use the templates in OneNote?

[@XxSharpieItBlackxX]

So that part Where you're writing on a zoomed in portion, how did you get the zoom window so large? When I use that tool all I get is a super tiny rectangle no matter how I orient the iPad. And when I resize it, it’s still small or won’t go any larger. I looked into it and it seems that when I use that tool in a digital planner I bought it’s small but in an original document made in GoodNotes it becomes a larger window to write in. I wonder if it’s related to how the documents are formatted huh...

[@mynameisleannejiang]

Does anyone know if you can switch out the black background to white background, and white text to black text in an easy/quick way? Would be useful if you ever needed to print a page or two off

[@Vale08131]

Hi Janice, does paperlike work on top of tempered glass? I’m thinking of purchasing paperlike but I’m not sure if it will be enough protection..love your channel!

[@katieluvbugs]

aDamselsOdyssey hi! I actually have that on my IPad Air and it’s been working great for me!

[@TheChameleon2008]

Please dont buy paper like and if you really need some resistance when writing then just get a cheap matte protector. The new paper like v2 are also huge pile of shit and that for 35 bucks lol. I have tried them all and to be honest they all kinda suck because it will put a tiny grain on your screen and wear your pencil down faster. Now im just using a glass protector.

[@ChannelNaim]

WE WANT MOOOOOOAAARR!

[@akhilgs9588]

there’s a significant lag while scrolling using this template dark squared one. Idk if iPad 10.2 renders slow or template is taking Time to load. Normal GoodNotes templates work’s fine. But I love your template so will keep using it anyways.
