@The Medical Enthusiast Thank you! :D Yes we do get lecture slides but I find them rather inadequate and just use them as guidelines. Usually, I will go to Google first before starting my revision to get the general rough ideas on particular topics. Then I would form questions based on the learning objectives of the topics and add up the details from the textbooks.

This app just changed the game for me. Literally has EVERYTHING I needed AND I can sync it to my phone and study on the go without carrying my laptop...... I'm so excited to take notes all of a sudden. I wish I had this in first year.

[@esmee6308]

I wish I had this when I was a student as well. Notions, Cornwell Note-taking and an overall new-found curiosity has made learning so fun I practically spend all my free time either in the gym or summarising data from the internet. In just 2 weeks I went from barely knowing how to add a table, now I got a journal, fitness journal, resonance calendar, financial overview, recipe data-base with grocery list. Next goal; figuring out how to create a proper data-bank. Game-changer for sure. It's ironic how at school we never learned how to take notes or organise our data, just year 1 of high school that could be such a valuable subject. I didn't hear about Cornwell until a week ago. Did start using the toggle function like crazy but for initial notes, it's amazing.

[@esmee6308]

@Nate Fn This was a while ago ahah, but I assume I mean the 'raw' notes I take and later refine into more bite-size and question explaining answers. Toggle keeps it all organised and also allows me to read my notes with 'cheating' and first try to actively recall the answer, toggle open and see if I covered everything, toggle close. Keeping the raw notes is pointless but at the same time I do like being able to refer to them. Especially after a while to see how I first understood it wrong or what I didn't quite get.

[@catrinamaravilla443]

When he explained how to properly use cornell notes...I was mind blown! In my 2 years of education in the Philippines and 11 years in the United States, no teacher has been able to properly explain how to use cornell notes. It was explained as a form of note taking but with questions you might have if you don't understand something or are curious about something. It was never explained as a form of taking notes for active recall. I am genuinely in disbelief that I haven't know for this long and have been missing out on such an effective form of note taking. The whole video was very useful for a student willing to learn new ways to effectively learn new topics and am always very greatful for Ali sharing his knowledge. It has helped me a lot as a new college student and I am looking forward to learning more on how to be more productive and how to apply to my life, new forms of learning.

With your notes with the sub-headings and toggles, you can type /contents to add a contents list at the top of the page, and you can click various headings in the list to jump you to that point in the notes. Not sure if you knew about this, but it makes navigating bigger notes pages a lot quicker

But I noticed that as a first year med student, having to write the questions and all their answers is very time consuming and has me constantly worried that I could be spending the time I type the answers doing other things. So I have been trying out just typing the questions for subjects that have good books or lecture notes where I can just go back to the book if i cant remember an answer. I don't know how well that would work but I'm trying it out. always a pleasure to watch your videos man and thank you for the constant motivation.

I'm new to Notion and came here for an overview; thanks to Ali for providing one. What Ali calls "togging" here-"the single best thing about Notion"-is called "folding" of an outline. Lots of outliner apps support folding (OmniOutliner is a well-known one among Mac users), and some text editors have plug-ins or extensions that provide it. The "game changing" capability of being able to move part of the hierarchical document into a node of the outline has been supported by outliner apps for a *long* time. I liked the idea of integrating the Cornell approach into an outliner. That technique could be used with any outliner, so it's a tip with much broader applicability than just to Notion. From what I see here, what seems to me to be the game-changing aspect of Notion is combining capabilities of an outliner, a spreadsheet/database app, and a Wiki (i.e., a mini-web of diverse linked content) in one unified environment that also supports metadata ("properties"). It seems to me to be about synergy-no offering the most capable outliner, or spreadsheet, or Wiki, etc., but offering *just enough* in each category to make the combined tool greater than the sum of its parts.

I mean when it comes to the app, I find it working so slooow on Android (and all my other apps move damn fast). With Evernote - no issue whatsoever. Great content overall, tho'!

Notion is now free ❤️!

Thank you so much! I have ADHD and I love the Cornell Note taking system, but I feel bad when I throw away my study books. I get Leuchturm notebooks. They work perfectly, but this seems like it will be super helpful. Thank you for sharing your talents, and what you have learned that helps you.
