I said in my last article that taking notes may bring us a disadvantage, that is, it will make us lose our anxiety about memory. The possible result is that your own notes will end up like a collection of big V articles in Zhihu. You think that knowledge is yours, but in fact it is just a kind of self-consolation and self-deception.
So, how to deal with this problem?
The answer, in fact, is very simple, and that is to take notes carefully. The inner meaning of seriousness is to take notes as an important thing, take them seriously and do the nuances well.
First, develop the habit of classification and subdivision. The essence is actually to simulate the classified thinking of human brain or computer. The finer the classification you divide, the more it will help you connect memories. Why should we take notes? First, we don't want to forget what we have lost. Second, we don't want to spend too much brain power memorizing subtle contents. Careful classification is actually building a knowledge/memory directory in your brain. The harder you work and the more involved you are in this process, the deeper this directory will be. In the future, your brain just needs to act as a good directory. Through the directory, we can remember a lot of content and give more trivial and complicated knowledge/memory details to the cloud storage.
Second, make good use of all the functions of cloud notes to be exquisite. To emphasize, before, I thought it was enough to take notes by myself, so I took notes at will. However, when I went back to review those notes later, I found that I had to waste a lot of effort. I used to think about my thoughts when I took notes, and some of them simply forgot, which was equivalent to relearning. So when I took notes later, I took it as a job, made the details well, made the typesetting regular, wrote different types of content in different writing styles, marked the ideas at that time, and basically used all the functions in the cloud notes.
As long as you take the time and energy to take good notes, it is to sort out and strengthen your memory again and again. When we turn our memories into written records, it is a process of consciousness processing. In this process, the vague memory will become concrete.
The first step is to classify (carefully classify notes)
The second step is the title (title is the most extreme classification of notes)
The third step, content and comments (content should be regular, and opinions should be commented on the side)
When taking notes, you should assume that you can understand it when reviewing later. If not, add more notes to help you understand.
The fourth step, text style and common tools (appropriate use of text style is more helpful for us to check our notes)
The title is the basis of creating a directory. The subject text is converted into the title text, which will be generated directly when the directory is created. This is the same as word.
Cloud notes provide a variety of text styles, which can make notes look more comfortable if used well.
More commonly used, such as quickly inserting horizontal lines, tables and directories.
The copy reference link function can save the current note as a quick link. You can copy this link to other notes and click this link in other notes to quickly open the note.
Fifth, the directory (using a good directory will help us access what we want quickly)
Step 6, summary/overview (record the final concentration of the content, which will help you understand it quickly in the future review)
If the notes are complicated, we can write a summary at the beginning, just like writing a paper.
The above methods are for reference only. You can also make your own notes and summarize them step by step during use.
Finally, I provide a commonly used screenshot tool, which is particularly simple and easy to use:
Ctrl+ 1 quick screenshot, which can be set by yourself.
Ctrl+X can quickly cut the picture and copy it into the document you want.
Right-click the picture to adjust and save.
