[@Donks-R-us]

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

[@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?

[@baju9953]

1. Notes (Capture +create). 2 teach to some one else 3. Creat Mind map 4.put into story 5. Create mind palace 6. Give test 7. Revise and practice.

[@callmeenzy5715]

Mind map? Put in story? Create mind palace? From who do you recommend someone to gain more information on that? I'd like to experiment with the method you describe

[@АтанасВеликов-п5и]

jim kwik super reading course will teach you how to make mind maping and how to read muuuuuuuch faster with better comprihacion finally after 2 months pricticing the exersises i start read faster

[@NodyTales]

firstly thank you for these notes but I have a question how do apply create mind palace ??

[@johnvienna3422]

At which point does Jim mention mind maps, stories, or mind palaces here? Just watch the video instead of reading silly "hijack" comments like this from Baku 99, to hear what Jim actually says. It's under 12 minutes - is that really too long to just watch and listen to?

[@scrubfive9239]

Hey, what's the "mind palace" you speak of? Does that just mean enter a state of focus and solitude in your mind while reading/studying?

[@timlewis1746]

2 Years ago had a stroke on my right side ... With lots of Physical therapy work you cannot tell that I even had a stroke .However I felt my brain was slow in remembering thing .I can truly say that this method has helped me in my recovery in remembering things. Most importantly it has been used in my teaching of Medical Doctors .Your ...How ,WHy When I can used this info I learned from you around 2016 Listening to your podcasts . Very useful I recommend this to everyone . P.S. I bought your limitless book when it came out. Excellent work !!

[@susangallon6770]

Thank you, I'm 67 years old and just really learning how to take notes. I will share this today with my daughter who has just started college. I will implement this in a course that I'm presently taking. Thanks, again.

[@johnkanyoni7530]

I didnt know there is a difference between taking notes and making notes. I have started applying capturing and creating principle while listening to your podcasts and I find it easier to understand, remember and apply. Thanks Jim you have really equipped me and i will surely teach this children in our children's home

[@yoffy7]

When i was a little kid, i was naive, i want to change the world. Yesterday i was smart, so i want to change my family. Today, i am learn (from you), so i want to change my brain. et voila, when i change my brain, i change the world. Awesome, Mr. Jim. Thanks for sharing this. (Pardon me for influent english since i live in non-english primary language nation)

[@DanielGTaylor]

I’ve heard of the idea of “making notes” before, but never paired with “taking notes” and presented in such a simple way. 😊

[@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!

[@lindiwekubu8846]

Jim,you totally the Best. My 14 year old Son is learning a lot from you. With love from South Africa 🇿🇦!

[@Lucida1818]

I’m going to try this in my research proposal Thank you Jim 🙏 “You change your brain, you change the world!” Jim Kwik

[@lindalindsay3996]

I have been with my current employer for over 20 years. I recently decided to try a higher paying (harder)position. I know comfort was a luxury I no longer have. Your videos are inspiring and very helpful in my new journey. Thank you!

[@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.

[@mushfiq186]

This is the most effective video on how to make notes. I really recommend people applying this note taking method!

[@Noaleh3]

Thank you so much Jim I love listening to you all the time ! listen to you is So coming You’ll be a great dad your son is lucky

[@marvs5124]

Since I started listening to Jim Kwik I have been opened to a new world of limitless learning his podcasts has truly changed my life and I just can't wait to join the Kwik brain program and become part of the community of limitless BRAINS

[@drdokesn1]

Thank you Jim . From Navi Mumbai India It was very useful . Will definitely put it in practice and give you feed back

[@ameenosolease8263]

This is so super simple. And it finally lets me know I'm not a bad student for getting distracted imagining applications while still taking the lecture.

[@g.vignesh9579]

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

[@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

[@thelibertychurch6025]

Hi, my name is Pastor David Cross, your information has been tremendously helpful. I’m going to teach this to my staff and congregation. We can learn to comprehend with notes from the message. Reading the Bible with more speed and accuracy, along with other information will be priceless! Thank you so, so much, for all you do.😊

[@Bumula1]

I always had bad notes. I struggled throughout school and college. It wasn't until I was in college that one if my professors had me tested for learning issues. She helped me somewhat but wasn't able to devote a lot of time to me. But that one hour every week in her office dud help. Thank you Professor Robinson.

[@wendylabastilla8609]

I am teaching Science in Grade 10 here in the Philippines, and I read your book Limitless to help my my students in there effective study habit. This year I encourage them to read the book and we are going discuss it in our remedial class. Thank you Jim for sharing your techniques in studying. It helps me as a teacher and my students too.

[@RameshKumar-ng3nf]

Woww. ! Thanks for sharing. I am new here, let me also read the book you mentioned.

[@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.

[@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.

[@sybilwilson1724]

This is so doable. I took notes on this on my phone, so first, I'm going to rewrite them in my notebook using the Capture/Create method. Then, tonight, I'm going to teach this to my 15 year old granddaughter, and have her teach it back to me!

[@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...

[@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.

[@tracyvillamormarchancaraan6516]

Hi Jim its still a struggle for me to shift from work(had been a Department of Health nurse here in d PHILIPPINES🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 for 8years) and now im at Med School as a first year student and your podcasts had been a 💎GEM!!! It gave me hope and the empowerment to not doubt myself that i can still conquer my endeavors and achieve my dream of becoming a public health doctor someday🥰 thank you sooooo much! I will definitely teach this to my children and To the Community that i shall serve 🥰 (im a licensed teacher too)

[@pastorabrahambusayo5440]

Thank you so much. I'm blessed listening to you every morning. I'm limitless!

[@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 💪

[@janicedarroch4747]

Capture & Create method is so brilliant in its simplicity. I will be teaching this to my grandkids ❤

[@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

[@alexroxas6167]

I am going back to school again after 20 years. I am excited to use this note taking technique. Thank you Jim.

[@alexiag6081]

I’m inspired by your story. How you use to struggle in learning when you were younger. It’s amazing how you have now discovered how all this works… how our brain works. Looking forward to learning more from you. Thank you for sharing your ideas 🙏

[@nevref6898]

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

[@Rainbowinc-dn2zp]

I am from india and its very helpful when i study economics and business study subject i score 100 in both by this note taking technique

[@StepsTowardPower]

Note taking is something that I enjoy doing, but hasn't been the most productive for me. This video and the capture create example has helped me to clarify and marry the ideas about note taking I've had in my head, and I couldn't be more excited to try it out. I'm going to apply this method to the current book I'm reading, as well as the slews of information that I will be receiving from podcasts and videos. I'm taking huge risk and huge step to take control of my life and destiny, and I'm glad to have this channel and these resources to learn from in this journey ahead. Cheers.

[@victoriaseward5853]

I'm teaching a workshop this week to my business department on "Problem Solving". I'm going to introduce this at the beginning and ask they take notes trying this format. I have a slight modification to the page setup to offer - designating a section at the bottom as a 'parking lot' to capture those random fleeting thoughts that might otherwise distract them - like I need to remember to pick up milk from the grocery store tonight. I find having a place for those things let's me put them down and move on quickly rather than giving them my attention.

[@catherined.5635]

Thank you from Switzerland!! Your advice is always precious Jim… especially when practiced and taught!! Keep it up!!🎉

[@bofdqryu]

Really do enjoy Jims content, both free and some of the courses. Best tip for me is implementation, so USING the stuff he shares. This can be the teaching again aspect or applying it in your life. I still remember the sun list months later, faster reader and so much more I think he can help me with.

[@pamboyk50]

I struggle with note taking. This is a start. Thank you Jim.

[@mariadamelio7120]

this person is clear, concise, and really easy to understand. plus, the tips are really helpful🙂🙂

[@gina-noelconti9332]

Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful as I'm a late diagnosed dyslexic. Your voice makes your videos pleasant to listen to.

[@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.

[@mariathompson3686]

This is extremely helpful! I take so many notes and often lose the good things I've learned. Or stick my notes in Evernote and never get back to them. I'm going back to some notes I took listening to a podcast earlier this week. I'm doing that *today*!

[@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.😘

[@carlosherrera4282]

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

[@jujeueuueuueueueueee]

This was lovely, thank you. I struggle with re-working my notes on the fly and this will be great to help me refine while keeping the raw, instinctive notes I like t take.

[@stephenpapps59]

Simple and clear. It's always more inspiring to learn from someone who is passionate about what they do.

[@DrkPanthra]

True

[@meimann345]

This is a very useful tip for notes taking. Thank you, Jim. I will read to gain knowledge, most importantly, I will apply it by teaching it to my kids.

[@abrahamleon8304]

THANK YOU! 💯% I WILL PAY IT FORWARD 🙏

[@Oluwaseyithecreator]

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

[@steveterry4170]

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

[@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.

[@georgebenson6036]

I used this method back when I was in engineering school many years ago and it helped get me through that course of study.

[@greggouge93]

Thanks Jim. Just started listening to you a couple weeks ago and over the last couple of days I have come back often. Thanks for all you do!

[@nanettebramwell3907]

Thank you. I'm about to start a other class as I claw my way towards my Masters degree, and I will give the capture/create, take/make note taking method a try!

[@carolinemarie44]

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

[@trocycling1204]

I do this studying the Bible and it's awesome. I start by taking written notes on a particular passage. Once that's done, I write down "applications". That's where I get something actionable that has meaning! This is the most fun part of note taking, at least for me. For some reason I hadn't thought about using this method for other note taking, thanks!

[@titojr.6248]

Found this gem on my recommendation, and really see myself not learning from either lectures, podcasts or reading. I started to look into note taking on how we could apply it in our lives. Definitely will give this method a go, Ill more of a handwriting note taking person. And it'll be prefect to apply this! Thanks Again

[@stevenoprong8213]

Am really grateful to receive such matchless information from you Jim Kwik, i will definitely tell my fellow colleagues at the work place and to my wife too. keep it up @Jim Kwik. Am looking forward to continue listening to your podcast at least everyday. I also benefited from a podcast of yours which i saw this morning on "My Morning Routines", it was awesome indeed.

[@GG_Sebastian_Aidan]

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

[@Limitless3775]

Thank you so much Jim. Each and everyone of your Episodes are very helpful. I definitely will share it with my Sunday school students. It will help them to understand the Bible on thier own term. God bless you.

[@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!:

Thank you Mr Jim Kwik for CAPTURE AND CREATE IDEA I will write every once a week I want to change my habit and discipline myself I am not doing good at all, I have lot going on my mind and I want to stop because it’s hurting me very much Thank you again Monica

[@CAMHomesteadND]

So glad that i stumbled across the Best Note Taking. I shared it with a co-worker before you even said to share it.

[@yungtunesthedj]

Wow this was truly inspiring and informative. I struggle with retention alot. Infact just a day ago my friend was teaching me to take notes and now im seeing this. I got a lot of points that i'll put into practice. Thank you Jim

[@esratunca2108]

Jim teşekkür ederim, merci, Dankeschön and thank you from me based in Birmingham. I have been listening to your podcasts and watching your KZbin clips for years. I have shared your information with friends before and will do again with this one. Thank a million! ✋🏻😄

[@joeylstrange]

Thanks Jim Kwik! While in the military I thought of Learn. Do. Teach. that is how I captured and retained information. I will have to try this capture and create note taking. It might take me a bit. 😁 I use at least 5 different color pens when I take notes with arrows, boxes, and stars. Thanks for the content!

[@knowyourworld9605]

10/10 Thank you very much for this video. I love the calmness of your voice and the relatable statements you made concerning thinking.

[@aakashgupta5613]

Implemented while watching.. took notes in the way you explained Jim and enjoyed it.. wish there was an option here to share the pic on my notes... very practical and useful

[@barbaramacdonald6510]

Thanks so much for all that you do! My perimenopausal brain is thanking you for it.

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

[@geetatripathi2454]

Jim you are simply great. I will teach my students to develop their capacity to comprehend and retain through this method

[@frankschemes6851]

The capture and create method is SO NEW to me! Like I have personally THOUGHT this way but never visualized it on paper. I'm in an anatomy course and it is so hard to ask those create questions and this puts it into perspective. Really helpful video content to help remind me of the ways I already think haha.

[@nw9497]

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

[@ilovetoys646]

Thank you Jim for giving an example of how to take notes. It helps a lot.

[@garydickson2131]

[@positivehealth597]

This was so amazing information! I was actually writing notes for my second board meeting for positive purpose foundations and this has helped tremendously!🙏🏽

[@ЮрійРешетник-л1х]

Thank you very much. I will try to apply it in my university lectures.

[@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.

[@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

[@daveann7154]

You are simply inspirational Jim. Loving all the tips, little shortcuts that keep building on each other. I am certainly looking at everything in a new light. Thanks so much. 😊

[@grinch4567]

Wicked!!

[@BrunoFerreiraDS]

i learned in this class that taking notes is about extract what is important (take notes) and create your own notes (make your notes) and teach to someone else.

[@diggerfdf]

I lived near the University that I studied. A 20 minutes walk. Never studied or took notes. But I can say the "Explain to someone" is Ultra Effective. On the Exam's day, I used to go there 4 hours before the test. There was always another student with loads of notes. I asked to read some. If they were on the First part, I took the second. Then I started to mix an match all notes from all students. As they arrived, the buzz word "Hey, Digger is teaching the content, let's check it out!" By the time of the Exams, I've read all the content and explained all the lecture dozens of times. My test scores were pretty high, and I improved my classmates comprehension of the subject as well.

[@rlmccoy4]

Applying to an idea I have for a card game! Thank you so much

[@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.

[@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!

[@rashedrayen]

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 ❤

[@user51216]

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