For example, the picture below shows my visual notes when I was listening to a micro class. Is it clear and interesting?

Let's take a look at the traditional linear notes, which are basically full of words, but the key parts will be marked with pens of different colors.

In order to introduce visual notes more clearly, I will compare visual notes with linear notes from four aspects.

We have been learning to take notes since primary school. At that time, the teacher taught us how to take linear notes, so we almost always remember what others said since childhood.

But taking notes is always boring.

Taking visual notes is different. It will make it novel and interesting, and make us like learning more.

When taking visual notes, we are asked not to simply repeat what others say, but to listen to the speaker's key points clearly, grasp the key words, and then express them with images, which is much more interesting.

As we all know, there are too many words written by traditional linear notes. Sometimes, in order to record all the contents of the speaker, we will keep taking notes. Often, one note is several big notes, and we don't bother to read it afterwards.

Visual notes need to grasp the speaker's key points, so you don't need to record them all, just the key points.

We will also be very willing to look through such notes afterwards, and it is easy to recall the key contents of the lecturer when we see these patterns we have drawn.

As I said just now, traditional linear notes are the end point of notes. Sometimes we even take notes for the sake of taking notes, and we don't remember anything after taking notes.

In the process of recording visual notes, we need to convert words into images, which mobilizes our left brain and right brain to think at the same time and will remember the recorded contents very deeply.

So that I found that the visual notes I made a long time ago, as long as I recalled a small picture at that time, I could remember everything the lecturer said.

It is not surprising that traditional notes have been taken for so many years. Visual notes are not. If you can share your visual notes with your classmates and friends, you will definitely receive "Wow! Great! " Great.

These visual notes are convenient for everyone to take photos and consult at any time, and can also help others remember the course content well, which can be said to be the best embodiment of self-interest and altruism.

Knowing what visual notes are, we now know that taking visual notes has many advantages, such as being interesting, easy to remember and easy to share.

But in fact, taking visual notes has many advantages, and I have summarized four points here.

1. Let's think with our whole brain.

We all know that the human brain is divided into left brain and right brain. The left brain is mainly responsible for language and logic, while the right brain is mainly responsible for processing images, paintings and music.

Usually, most people think with their left brain. Visual notes are presented in the form of words and images, which can mobilize our left and right brains to think at the same time and stimulate our whole brain thinking.

2. Increase our creative thinking

The creativity that modern people lack most is actually the product of information exchange between the left brain and the right brain. The sharing of pictures and words in visual notes makes our perceptual thinking and rational thinking collide constantly, thus improving creative thinking.

3. Enhance our workplace competitiveness

Visual thinking can make us stand out from the competition in the workplace.

As we all know, we have entered the era of artificial intelligence, and the function of computer is very powerful, which can almost replace or even surpass all the functions of human left brain, but our right brain is irreplaceable. It can be seen that in order to be invincible in the workplace, we must develop the right brain.

Visual thinking is a great strategy.

4. The weather vane to deal with the policy trend

The same is true of the general direction of national policies and trends. It is reported that music and art will also be included in the senior high school entrance examination in the future. Even if it has not been realized yet, it is the future development trend. Therefore, not only we, but also our children need to learn to think with visual thinking, mobilize the whole brain thinking and try to take visual notes from now on.

These are the four benefits of taking visual notes. How can I be eager to take visual notes? Wake up your inner graffiti child and play with little MengMeng ~
