Hi Jim! Absolutely loving your content. Could you create a video with a walkthrough example from a passage or paragraph that will demonstrate thoroughly what you're explaining in this video?

[@acostalenygrace7554]

From the day 1 i listened to some of your videos, and followed the tips...my memories had been improving....thank you

[@weltcitizen3533]

Thank you, Jim! You are just amazing! I used this method over 40 years ago when I was in college. In the meantime, I have neglected, almost forgotten this technique. Thanks for reminding me. It is good to know that at the age of 64 you can still "re"-learn old/new things.

[@CassiePlaya22]

Jim, I found you accidentally on You Tube but often do and actually love to take notes, so I really liked this tip! As an engineer, learner of languages, and retired bodyworker, the relatively new understanding of neural plasticity seems to me a veritable fountain of youth! Add to that the awareness that movement, new information and emotion are the very keys that lock knowledge in, and everything becomes, well, as your book pronounces, Limitless! Thank you so much for your work, and I am in awe of the many, MANY difficult years you fought learning difficulties and stimga to grow stronger and learn your own brain and body, and the sharing you have done to date that you had no way of knowing you would ever be able to do... podcasts in the 1970s? Ha! I appreciate and applaud you, Mr. Kwik- you ARE a superhero!

[@warvinyasin1696]

I'm a medical student, and lately I have been having problems with concentrating and taking notes, I think my problem was I've tried to work harder than smarter, and I've been getting more and more depressed day in and day out thinking the problem is that I'm not good enough, I forgot how to make things enjoyable for myself, thank you so much for reminding me, wish you da best ya awesome man!

[@ZahraMohaddes]

Does this note taking method work for your lessons?

[@maricame5158]

Thank you Jim. I look to you as the example of the teacher I want to be in my work. Your calm and quiet voice, your repeating things patiently, Is the right way to approach those who have to learn and understand.

[@alialzaabi3106]

I was using a different method in the previous year, and it worked for me which is ( before I went for my lecture I was preparing and nearly knew everything, and even though I did not understand everything and what happened on the next day, my focus will increase, and the note which I will take it will be so clear because I knew how to correct myself and if I did not understand something I will ask) by the way I was asking my self that why I need this and when I will use it. Thank you for your video, which is helpful and appreciate your kind effort to help us in our brain issues

[@maritzademoya6701]

Love this, fits perfect with my son , who is Freshman and struggles Adhd and with taking notes. As I learn methods to help him I help myself aswell. Will teach this to him asap! Knowledge x action = power 💪

[@nicoleanderson722]

WOW... Listen to your broadcast has enlightened me because I just started back to school in my master's program and it's a bit challenging since I have been out of school for several years and having issues in my personal life at the same time I started back to school. Now I found myself struggling with note taking, reading so I started to pray for way I can learn quicker and retrieve my information more effectively and your broadcast popped out of nowhere on my FB reels that I literally stopped what I was doing just to follow you... I'm amazed by your story and wanted to purchase your book but unfortunately I can't at the moment but I wanted to say thank you for the nuggets I can get, too get me started it's been a blessing to me that God allowed me to watch this video so I can stay focus on achieving my goals in learning and overcoming my fears in learning. Your speak gave me motivation to try something new with they way I'm learning, that I'm so excited to go to the library this summer and read more about my area of studying in school so I can be more ready for the fall...Thanks again from a happier student...

[@ras1811]

I like this video. I'm on the journey to get my brain in good shape and I already experience more focus on what I'm learning when taking notes. It's sometimes difficult to have fun with it, but I'm pushing myself always a little bit forward with the words "I'm continuously getting better and I'm continuous learning faster", so I enjoy learning and creating and being active and remember myself that I can decide to have fun with learning and taking notes

[@weil9525]

Thank you so much for sharing the invaluable information Jim. Last year I listened to one of your podcasts on how to remember items/things using corresponding body parts and imagination (ie. starting from the head, the ears, the nose, ... etc). Pair an item with a body part for memory retrieval. I taught my young niece and nephew this trick and they totally got it. What was shocking is 6 months later my nephew still remembers most of the pairings. I wish your methods are implemented in today's school programs. Your teaching is truly transformational on how we can improve and maximize learning.

[@glorianc4631]

Thank you Jim! I have been doing a lot of research on note taking (obsidian, zettelkasten, etc..) and I am every so grateful that I watched this video. As a mature student going back to school to obtain my masters - this method is light in the abyss. Happy sigh... and I am going to go that one simple step further and share your technique with my daughter who is in the 11th grade. True game changer.

[@steveterry4170]

Thank you Jim for enriching and expanding our minds and our lives…

[@ismailkhan-dz9ym]

Really simple and best tips given for writing notes. You're always giving practical tips which really work. Keep doing the good work and sharing it with people.

[@wendymcaleer5983]

You are always giving Jim. Love these helpful learning ideas. ❤️🇨🇦❤️

[@minidiary3415]

Okay so I tried this today in Greek class and it helped me focus. As I'm always distracted during class. Thanks for the tip. I'll use it while studying other subjects as well and while studying the Bible.😘

[@Pat_Nu]

🙏🙏🙏for sharing your kind and very positive attitude to the world. Bless you and your team. 🍀🍀🍀

[@gabrielshadar882]

I find this very useful for me as a journalist, and I started using it to capture information on left side and write the story on the right side.

[@carlosherrera4282]

Capturing notes this way seems pretty straightforward. Will try on the next opportunity! Thank you for sharing!

[@alaingrignon]

@Jim I bought your book while attending the “I CAN DO IT” conference in Tampa. Since your keynote there, I’ve been soaking in everything I can, and this note taking tip is one I intend to use in my work. I attend lots of meetings and often just don’t take notes, mostly because I feel I’ll just recall it, but I don’t. I have a small moleskin note book that fits in my pocket and I’ll start using the fold in that note book as the centreline, always using the left page for taking notes, and the right page for making notes. I’ll do it for the next few weeks, then at our next team peer learning exercise (something I started with my team) I will teach your method to my team. I’m actually looking forward to use it day to day. Thanks for this.

[@prawncrisp5951]

Would be interested to hear how this works out for you, Alain. And your left hand page/right hand page division seems like a good and practical idea - making a double spread, whatever size, where everything relates across the aisle.

[@user-fb1ys2lj9c]

I had a head injury as a little girl. Thank you. I am a middle-aged woman this will help me. I forgot I had a tutor who showed me to divide my paper, but I completely forgot and wow, thank you for reminding me of this method.

[@susan3372]

Very, very helpful. I, up until now, had been one of the frantically trying to write word for word notes!!! With no good results. No More!!! I will use the Capture/Create method and will use it as I go thru YOUR Limitless Book!! Thank you for all your efforts. Love that "No brain left behind!:

[@MzCynt08]

Thanks for the excellent note taking strategy 👍

[@katarzynagora63]

I'll watch it with my students.😃

[@jamesmaybury7452]

This is an adapted version of Cornell note taking, with a couple of important improvements. Another important aspect is spaced repetition, to avoid forgetting, repeat within 20mins, 8 hours, 1 week, 1 month. If you take notes at the time, ‘make notes’ shortly after, make summary, that evening, just before sleep, you are combining several effective techniques. Also use ‘recall’: test yourself first rather than just rereading your notes at each stage, to ‘write’ your recall as well as your writing circuit. And retest at 1 week and 1 month.

[@nw9497]

This is so simple yet so simple. Thanks for being clear and friendly

[@g.vignesh9579]

You give confidence that anyone can do anything in life, Its all about actions.

[@wandajackson9497]

I want to thank you for this information and I want to learn how to take effective notes and this is a great way to start.

[@user51216]

Congratulations Jim. Simple and effective methods and pearls of wisdom. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love your way.

[@anniebaliang8353]

Thank you so much for your clear teaching.♥️

[@nevref6898]

Thank you! My future is limitless. I just need to continue to meet and hear. The positive thinkers.

[@chris9384]

Thanks for this quick and easy way to take notes...

[@bernice5271]

Thank you Jim Kwik. I'm trying this immediately to take a softskill course.

[@antoanetageorgieva1216]

Brilliant as always. Thank you I have a question :How to manage to make notes while I try to take notes listening something? I think,I do not have enough time to ask:When how,why I can use this because the flow of taking notes will be disconnected and while I am trying to make notes,I will miss taking notes and lose the information, because I cannot hear,take notes and make notes in the same time.Hope you understand,what I mean.I will appreciate your advice very much.Thank you.

[@ardent307]

Thanks a lot.. I'm gonna use it and boost my memory , focus and enlightenment myself with more useful knowledge.

[@GG_Sebastian_Aidan]

I feel My brain gets better and brighter..., Amazing Jim. I'll use it ..,in class for my grades ., Everyday

[@tendergrace55]

I am starting to apply the CAPTURE AND CREATE method in my notebook and I know that if I be a good student in following the tips you give in your podcasts, my memory which is weaning, will be alive again! I also hope to continue to listen to your other podcasts & get my brain active again! I have neglected this part of my make up. I have become lazy! I want to be active again, not just in my physical life, but in my mental ability!

[@kathylyons4029]

Thank you for sharing

[@DJK-cq2uy]

Your energy is calming

[@auroramiller6871]

I always learn something every time I listen to you. I in fact have shared some of your tips to my patients. So thank you. Just lije what Dr. Amen was saying in his book- Your Brain is Alway listening 👂 🤩

[@elizabethr3107]

Jim you are AWESOME 🥰🥰 youve taught me so much....

[@rsantiagogarcia80]

Thank you! Will share with my ESL class have them teach each other.❤

[@Artpsychee]

Jim. You are great helper. Thank you. I will buy your book to help you back.

[@answer979]

Everything is information, your mind is a receiver of information, in order for you to learn something, you have to do it, (like when a baby wants to walk), in order to do it consistently, you have to understand why you must do it, in order to improve what you're doing, you have to learn.

[@dingding6382]

[@howifixit6206]

I use the libe, but now I will be more creative on the right side. Thank you.

[@sanimou]

Great podcast, thanks jim

[@henryomorodion]

l find this information fascinating . a clever method. glad l heard this. with this method l can build on any note captured. thanks

[@pronunciationway8502]

When will I use it? I would say this is the right time and I've put alarm for bed just now in the morning 5:53 A. m😊.... Thanks Jim Sir

[@carolinemarie44]

When I was in college, I typed my notes and then hand wrote them. This worked great for me.

[@samueltremblay275]

The structure remind me the Cornell method in the way the page is separated. In yours, there is more space to creativity on the right side. For me, the right side is like the bottom in the Cornell method.

[@azlinalioness]

Thank you. Definitely sharing with my two daughters. Question: when do we create notes... After we've captured all the notes at the end of the lecture, for example? Or simultaneously while capturing notes?

[@yvsha93]

Great question I would like the answer too

[@crezius22]

I would say you should do it simultaneously because sometimes you don't know when, why or how you use what you learned, so you should ask about it.

[@elenas3134]

I like also to make this in ⭕️ circles and I connect the circles; to one logical or task circle I connect several with opportunities or what I can apply:)

[@corinnaduguay7109]

The best idea… thank you!!

[@lira_gilgamesh8018]

Thank you for the video. I loved the questions about the capture part🥰

[@janettesando423]

Great, well explained thank you

[@geetajain5433]

Jim you have amazing knowledge, I wish your methods should be added as a subject in àll schools [ Optimal learning methods] then no kid will be left behind. I wish a rich person or a community grant pays for this great cause. God bless you Geeta jain M D

[@CathyRead-b4f]

Why have I only just learnt this technique today? Simole but I can immediately see the advantages .

This has so helpful thanks so much

[@danychartrand5692]

Merci beaucoup pour vos vidéos!

[@Faras_cade]

I from Somalia 🇸🇴, I ❤️📚👌 keep going

[@FeelingENTITLED]

I use almost the same technique. However, I do not write "capture" or "create." Of course, I would write what is written on the board or dictated by the teacher. But when I write a term definition, I would simplify it by choosing the important keywords. I'm not too fond of lengthy sentences. And besides it, sometimes I draw or sketch or make a visual representation of the definition to make it easier to remember.

[@claudiaharrison726]

Great tips! Thank you Jim 😊

[@benjaminmasila131]

This information is very useful. Thanks so much.

[@emilia5289]

What an eye-opening method! I’m currently searching for efficient but easy note taking methods to get through Sociology GCSE 😅 I suppose if we’re a visual learner, we can also illustrate (draw) 🎨 our points in the “create” column?

[@30somethingher]

I will definitely try teach what I learn

[@Vava64X32]

Thank you so much Jim!

[@231-z2o9t]

Knowledge itself is not important as many people thought. We have to make information mine by applying and teaching!!

[@aslam3136]

Jim, wonderful idea.... great presentation. I too have come to the conclusion that written notes have more meaning to me some time later. But, I would like to digitise these written (scribled) notes. Can you tell me how I should go about digitising my notes?

I really appreciate it 🙏❤️

To the worthwhile person seeing this, your dream is not dead. Don’t allow the past and current pains and hurts stop and define you. You’re more than a conqueror. Rise up and put yourself together. Keep pushing your future depends on it. I wish you all the best in life ❤

[@dreampoetlee81]

Great video and thank you for explaing the difference between capture and creating notes. I do have one question, how do you prevent yourself from capturing everything that you see? I was doing an online course on Udacity and the notes that I took was basically word for word what the letcure said. Can you recommend a better way to do this?

[@pageian2254]

I think i was using this technic without knowing it, I listen or read to content always twice, and I take notes only the second time. The first reading is like taking notes, even if I don't write them down, and the second time I read I make the notes. Let me know what you think about this

[@caitlinvosloo9139]

Super interesting method... I'm going to try it this weekend at a 3 day Christian convention. Let's see how it works out!

[@siddhan7649]

very good

[@rhenzymariebravo8147]

do you do this when taking notes during the lecture or after lectures when revising notes?

[@sahanakhatun8037]
