*Notes* 1. Have a purpose in the first place. 2. Take notes in your own words. 3. Divide the page into two parts, Part 1) CAPTURE- In which you simply take notes about the content. Part 2) CAPTURE- In which use your active brain to co-relate the facts, data from the records, it also includes feelings and imagination about the content. 4. Use TIP Think Identify - filter relevant information. Prioritize - relevant information. 5. Review the notes. 6. Use Kwik Brain memorizing techniques. 7. Teach and share the notes.

Awesome job Jim!!! I'm following you in twitter and Facebook community. Thank you very much!!!

I used those note taking habits when I went to Power Grader Operator school. I achieved 100% grade! Bam now you are reassuring me that the way I did it was awesome thank you Kwik Brain

Are you serious?

[@lucyr.1994]

You are amazing! Thank you for all your tips and suggestions

[@learningmusicwithmalia]

Thank you for this! It validates how I train my music students on best methods for “taking notes.” I even created a special music notebook called “Music Theory Staff Paper” with that half and half layout that reinforces capturing and creating notes.

[@demetriusmiddleton1246]

Why not make a playlist of these? Having to search through a bunch of other things is quite frustrating and time consuming

Can already see results. Had never thought that my notes would be able to achieve this level of organisation and longevity!

[@hyunjib2]

Hey Jim. Thanks for these valuable lessons as always. I wanted to ask if you can do the next episode on memorizing vocabs because I study foreign languages but sometimes it is just to difficult to memorize certain words.

[@ridgefernando519]

please like his comment so it can reach Jim

[@quitschoolenjoylifealone982]

There are mnemonic devices like breaking down words and associating with the things u are familiar with, like visualizing in your head, for example: the Spanish word for cat - "gato" - can be broken down with a gate and then a cat sitting on top of it, u should be remembered it. U can visit Jim Kwik's video on the F-A-S-T method, I hope it helps!

Active note learning. Having a purpose in the first place. Organized. Notes in your own words. System for saving time Filter important information.

[@hajerabd3491]

if you are reading comments before you listen, then i suggest you split your paper in to two sections (his idea not mine😊) by drawing a vertical line in the middle. left side capture info, right side create your notes... for now write on the left side what he says then you will hear what to do on the right side.😉

[@tadiwoskebede2819]

So what I learned in here was: you capture information on the left side and you create a note on the right side of the page. You create notes on the right side by jotting down your questions that would help you when you teach it, what you feel, and the impressions you have. And the TIP he gave was T think; I identify; P prioritize. At last, Don't forget to review the note!

[@jacquelinemumba2457]

Thanks

[@rosellenaidoo8361]

Hi Jim, the video was really insightful. How will this note taking method apply for applications of subjects like engineering and maths etc. (subjects where the concept must be learnt and not necessarily the content)

[@shalinikumari8281]

Respected jim sir, as we know that the function of our right brain is controoled by our left part and vice versa , so what is better to create our notes on right side or left side Please reply if possible🙏

[@CDWSMEKim]

Could you do a demonstration/video of how to learn the world map? And or the 50 states? This would be helpful info for those of us who don’t remember this from grammar school and a cool way to show us how to remember something some of us have forgotten. Just a thought :)

[@nicholaskirk1356]

I anticipate that Jim would teach us to attach meaning and images to each place in the world or for each US state.

[@mudasiralisamejo8808]

Can this same note-taking technique be used for textbooks and in the classes!?

[@g.n.r.428]

Hey Chris, thought I'd share what helped me with anger and anxiety issues. Pick up Martin Seligman's Learned Optimism. You can find a overview of Positive Psychology on Wikipedia, but I found that reading the whole book helped me to cement the core ideas into my everyday thinking. Good luck.

Capture and create

[@joshchen5835]

how do you study for a exam with lots of information and how do you remember maps and stuff

[@adityapawar4937]

If you are studying for an exam, it is a humble request 1. Not to cram ur notes, rather understand it 2.Divide ur content into modules. 3. As Jim said, use abbreviations for memorizing info. If u r struggling with maps, I encourage you to watch a KZbin video on the same or rather practice from your textbook to get the useful results. Best of luck :)

[@adityapawar4937]

You can even relate the content given in your book to real life situations going on around you. As it is a fact that if you relate something u don't know to something u know, you will be able to grasp the information easily.

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

What would "creating" the notes even look like compared to just capturing them? I feel like I'd just be saying the same thing.

[@haveaniceday7950]

Use your own words or come up with metaphors, parables, stories, drawing or make connections to things you already know.

[@adityajha7841]

write questions and how u can use the information during exam while "creating" notes

[@shuchitsingh8407]

Pls put videos It feels more convenient

Hi Jim hope you are well .. What can I do to help my daughter to get out her fear about mathematics. .she is timid and scared. Thank you

[@randomambience6912]

Believe it or not ... Simply Just Tell Her... That She is Genius !!! Again & Again ... Teach Her In More Meaningful Way.... I Mean... Most Things that are Exist in her Textbooks... Are Not Exist in her Real Life ( That's is Biggest challenge for Her) So Combine --> Maths + Real life ( Specially the things that she like... playing , watching cartoons, cycling ) Then Maths = Fun + Enjoy !! For her... First Give her Confidence... because the Mind cleaning is the most Important Thing !!

[@adityapawar4937]

Tell her to watch various KZbin videos related to the concepts. The KZbin videos help us to understand the concepts in a practical way. That way she can even relate the concepts taught to her in her real life such as Profit and Loss, Ratio-Proportion, Simple-Compound interest,etc.

[@ernststravoblofeld]

Ask why she's scared.

[@The_Storyteller7]

The problem is after taking notes, it becomes quite boring to re read those notes what to do for that... Help

[@genuinebanda4201]

Sir plz provide us subtitle....

[@giftsondomai6969]

Bro there is caption option in the 3: dot on the top right you can put subtitle from there..

[@katgirlblue]

But what would impressions be?

[@Onedreamtolive]

What is fluff? Yes. This is a broad question. But, I'd say this may be the key component of why I have a hard time even choosing to want to take notes, rather than just attempt to interpret the information verbatim. Without an explanation of what that word even means, why bother doing the other parts? How do you decide what is key information in comparison to not?

what if you have crappy handwriting?

[@nicholaskirk1356]

Me too. When I write fast my handwriting is terrible. I guess, as long as we can read our own handwriting, we can always write it out again. I also guess by rewriting our notes it improves memory.
