How to Take Notes Productively (Notion Template Included)

📝 The less friction you experience, the more effective the note-taking system - Productivity Nerd Jeff Su
One of the biggest issues with our default note-taking method is that it's very hard to "re-surface" relevant notes when the situation actually calls for it (we've all forgotten about notes we've taken in the past), so in this video I share How to Take Notes Productively and even include a Notion Template I've been using for the past few months that solves this problem!
Effective note-taking systems pass the "Before," "During," and "After" tests:
1️⃣ Before - How easy is it to start taking the note?
2️⃣ During - How quickly can we get our thoughts down on paper?
3️⃣ After - Are we able to resurface relevant notes when we need them?
While I personally don't think the application itself matters all that much, I've found Notion to have the features that check all 3 of these boxes. Whether you're a student or working professional, this Notion note-taking video (more of a tutorial if I'm being honest) may give you some inspiration on how you can optimize your current note-taking process ✌🏻
