Note Taking and Note Making for Effective Brain Learning

By Sam Roxas


Often , people would ask, why do I need to take notes? The main reason why we're doing the note taking is we wanted to write down and memorise the key and important points.

Many professionals accept that effective note taking is one of the most important skills anyone ever learns. When we are doing note taking it basically enhances our recall skill. Like myself, I remember plenty of things when I'm writing down key things. Note taking is actually better organized rather than just attempting to remember what we just heard.

There are various paths to do note taking. The traditional way is generally hard to follow. At the moment, there's really a new way of note taking which is generally called the mind mapping.

Our brain is really working when we're listening. Our brain is concurrently sorting, picking, formulating and so on with the mixture of words and at the same time intertwined with photographs and images. And when we are doing note taking we are actually maximising our brain and we are in a position to learn a lot of things.

The following step is note making. If we noted down our reactions and judgments to what we just heard we are really helping ourselves in learning the subject or the topic debated. Noting down your thoughts helps you target your concentration and bring your attention back to the speaker or your teacher. When we are doing this we remember things easily.

Note taking and note making may not be effective when you're not listening actively and observing actively. You won't be in a position to learn when you're not getting involved. That Is why scholars or learners are asked to take part in class. Also, if we don't accept the idea of note taking and note making we will never get to learn productively. You may be in a position to remember some info right away but when you want to recall information after 5 years or more, most likely, you'll have a tricky time to remember.

An alternative way to make brain learning fun is making words into footage and images. When we are doing that we are essentially letting our subconscious work and it enables us to focus. We tend to be drawing our attention to the subject. When we do that we're ready to learn. It is a little thing that is often overlooked. We believed, it's just for today it will not that be significant in the future. That's really setting your intellect frame into negativity and it will affect how you view yourself.

If you want to understand the results of this system, give it a chance. Apply it to yourself and you'll see how.
