How I Use Notion to Take Effective Notes **As A Medical Student**

[@amusementbenson]

Good Notion example, learned “Review and Toggle“, thank you

[@nikulpandya7160]

I've been doing notion for the past 3 years and it's been such a great experience. Nice video. Also something else, in case you didn't know, is that you can create columns under toggles as well. (which i found incredibly useful) Basically, you just need to add the content under the toggle that you want, and then turn the toggle into a page, go inside create columns as you would in a normal page, and then go back and turnn that page back into toggle. I don't know if that was clear 😅 but hope everyone gets it.

[@danielacbarragan]

Oooh that's so cool! Thanks for the tip :)

[@itssuhaibalrumi]

thx Super useful

[@mananparekh_]

This was very helpful! I like ur idea of adding a check Mark for Anki to ensure the cards are made

[@Nico.Robin7]

This is such a good method. It keeps everything in one place. I might start doing it your way. Thank you so much for the tips 🤗.

[@danielacbarragan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@superchargecoach]

I totally LOVE this video - you explain very clearly and very easy to follow. I really like how you show the hierarchy of each section. Thanks so much!

[@danielacbarragan]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks so much!!

[@melaz3755]

What an awesome way to take notes! I’m going to try this 🤞 after watching your how to use notion video 😂

[@danielacbarragan]

Let me know how it goes!

That's marvellous!

[@JackieKotecki]

Your videos are great. I can wait to try Notion for school. I only wish I found it sooner. Also, do you do any videos on your hair and makeup? It is beautiful ❤

[@danielacbarragan]

Yes I do! Here's a video on how I look after my hair ☺️: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omral6NvmMehZ8U

Hi☀️ Please make video on Anki! I desperately need it 🙈

Yes I'm planning this video soon!

[@carinnautiamada9576]

hello! thanks for sharing how you organize everything in med school!! i loved it! by any chance, can you please explain how you create those theme links (ex.: CAI, CTB,...) at the top of the page? i mean, how can I create these links that automatically open a big list with ALL the content about that theme? (like it`s shown at 11:42 ) i hope it doesn`t sound confusing...

[@nikkiroseRN]

This was amaaazzing! Thanks!

[@user-lm1mf6by8x]

Thank you so much! Just started using Notion and this template and tutorial is GREAT! :)

[@travelwithlia7045]

Loved your video!

[@jaynin5525]

Amazing video!! I enjoy this so much! ur drug template is super cool, would you mind sharing it with us please? I'm still new to notion, I truly amazed by how organized it is, it would help me and many more med students go through our pharmacology section a lot easier. ty 🥰🥰

[@AvonLee-bb7pk]

hello daniela, I really love your notion template! any chance you could create a template of it and put it up online for a price? I’m sure many of your viewers would be more than glad to pay 😂 im not super tech savvy and while I understand the table setup, I’ve absolutely no clue how you linked all your lecture notes to the blocks on top? Or how you made them appear in the contents page too 😮 thanks!

[@danielacbarragan]

Heya :) I did put a template in the video description box

[@elenanaginsky1186]

Hi Daniela, I very like your Medicine page Could you explain please how did you create your content links (CAI, CTB, PPT, VLE, SosPop, Clinical skills) and how did you linked them to your Blocks? When you create your Blocks, did you use tables? If it possible one example please Thanks a lot

[@JackieKotecki]

Yes, I am also trying to figure out how to do this and having a very hard time.

[@siaatayeva]

Hi, i think that she linked them manually by creating a page and then doing /linked page and just inserting the pages that have the specific correlated tag. I've been trying to figure it out myself aswell but I don't think it's automated because she doesn't have relation properties in the blocks. I might be wrong though

[@selinas6333]

How do you create the theme blocks where you can click and see what you have done in for example „CTB“, where you can see all the lessons of CTB ??? I‘m lost since 2 hours

[@elib5257]

Hi, this is my first time watching this video and i noticed your comment, I don’t know if you still need this advice or guidance or whatever, but it’ll hopefully benefit someone watching. So from what i can gather and what I know about notion, she just treated a new page and linked the different pages back to the new CBT page.

[@inimir2247]

​@@elib5257I still confused 😢

[@devalcitamanini107]

Greetings from Brazil, great video, I'm gonna use some insights, thankss

[@danielacbarragan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@medicnotes]

❤❤ hi, great channel you have here! striving my best to create good revision videos for medical students as well 😄

[@fahimfaisal1654]

beautiful

[@MA-CC]

This looks amazing! Do you or anyone else have a dictionary in their notion with the terms? if so, how did you make it?

[@danielacbarragan]

I don't have a dictionary but this is a great idea!

[@JackieKotecki]

One more question, would you be able to explain how to create the themes at the top that link to each tag/theme and show them all on one page? I am really struggling with this. Thanks!

[@july3817]

so maybe you figured it out by now, but if not I think I know what she did. If you have a database with all your lecture notes, you have to create a column in that database to tag them with whatever categories you want to sort them in. Then you create a page with a list view and select your database. You should now be able to have a list of all the lectures in your database. In order to only have the lectures for that category visible, you have to filter by tags where you can select the category. I hope the explanation is somewhat helpful.

[@lusa9934]

you are amazing oh my god

[@OmarPerez-ml8dg]

LOVE It!

[@elizabethparkkari3812]

This video was very helpful! I was just wondering if you take all of these notes during the lecture or if you go over then after

[@danielacbarragan]

I usually make notes after I've watched the lecture :)

[@ayushthapa313]

Hi Daniela, Hope you're doing okay during your break off from medical school. I really love your Notion template- would you mind sharing it with us please? I and many other students would sincerely appreciate that!

[@danielacbarragan]

Hi Ayush, I have put a link for the template in the description :)

[@y.christine]

HI! I just wanna say i really enjoyed this video, and i do a 100% recommend notion to students! I've been using for the past year and it indeed has helped me a LOT. May I ask tho, how long did it take you to organize your notes? I've been having a hard time actually organizing it the way u did 😅😅

[@danielacbarragan]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! At the beginning it took me a while to organise 😅 maybe about a month or so until I felt happy with it, but it was definitely worth it!

[@deadx5581]

Aint she too beautiful❤

[@anderserickson5877]

Great Video! I am starting medical school in two weeks. I have questions regarding how you can organize the "themes" on the top of your page. How can you sync each type of lecture from the table into those themes on the top of the page? Do you have to manually add each lecture from the table into the theme list, or is there a way that it automatically moves there? I hope this makes sense. Thank you!

[@danielacbarragan]

Congrats on starting med school soon! I had to manually add them to the theme list x

[@Aynur-fc7hj]

Hello, Thanks for this vide. It is very helpful. I am unable to view the personal set-up video. Can you hsare it or is it private ? thx

[@danielacbarragan]

Heya! I haven't yet made a template for it. Keep your eyes peeled for another video 👀

[@barroslucasofc]

Hello! I'm from brazil. I want know how to create the drugs list, can you teach me?

[@condoriano4217]

Hi, please explain how you convert notion toggles to flashcards. I've used the 2anki website plugin however they limit the number of toggles per page which can be converted and often times pictures included in the answer are omitted.

[@danielacbarragan]

Hi, I don't convert the toggles themselves to flashcards myself. I use other decks which were made previously but have the same content

[@marimendez1188]

Your icons in the template are so cute! How did you get them?

[@danielacbarragan]

On google!

[@pranavshukla007]

how did you add screen shots and pics by creating vertical divider , I want to do that but can't.

[@danielacbarragan]

I usually just hit shift-command-4 to screenshot the image, then drag and drop it into my notion page :) Here's a link that might help you create the dividers: www.notion.so/help/columns-headings-and-dividers Hope that helps x

[@hannahfirth9285]

how did you manage to make a page with a list of pages that have a certain tag? (like CTB or CAI) x
