How to Spice Up Your Notes

Studyblogs are at the height of popularity at the moment. From visuals to spacing, these blogs are inspiring students from around the globe. Have you ever wondered how people create study blogs? Well you’re in luck, because we will show you the most effective way to go about studying, and bring you to be the most organized student possible.


Step one: Change your handwriting

Use different fonts and handwriting styles when writing your notes to emphasize information. This can also help to stimulate your brain and remember the information at hand.

Step two: Add visuals

Adding visuals to your notes increases your chance of retaining information. As you can see below, which one is more enticing and visually appealing to look at?

Step three: Use color

Like visuals, highlighters and colored pens can also increase the chance of retaining information because your mind requires some sort of visual to allow your brain to be able to remember an accurate bit of information. We recommend the Mildliner highlighters, offered at our TakeNote! location!

Step four: Use the kind of notebook and paper you feel the most comfortable using

Use a kind of paper style you feel comfortable with because it allows you to focus on the notes and provides a sense of consistency. So whether you organize your papers in a binder, or write all your notes in a certain notebook, staying consistent is the key to taking notes. So if you like lined paper, or graph paper, use the same for all of the notes you take!
