Hardcover Notebook-Manage Your Paper Notebook Records
-
Indeed, quite often, we have to record the content on a paper notebook or hand account, for example:
1. When you're away from home (you can't hold a laptop and remember hard)
2. Some companies are not allowed to bring computers during meetings
3. Many people do not like to turn on the computer when reading
4. Other moments when it is not convenient to open the computer
Therefore, as a supplement to our content records, it is very necessary to equip yourself with a paper notebook.
To share with you how to record and manage content efficiently when using paper notebooks.
1. The main points of the operation of paper notes
According to the characteristics of paper notebook records, we should formulate a set of rules and method systems for our records. Using this system, we should minimize the impact of the shortcomings of paper notes on us, and maximize the advantages of paper notes.
The following is a summary of some points to note when recording paper notes:
1. Short and lean
Because of the slow writing speed, we have to be more prudent when writing notes. I personally think that with more and better choices today, paper notes are not the best choice for us to record long content (of course, some people just like the feeling of writing, which is another matter). Even if it is only used to record information, you should try to avoid writing large paragraphs.
Suggested practice: replace short sentences with words and long sentences with short sentences. Short articles or paragraphs summarize the core ideas, and long articles or books present the structure in the form of mind maps.
2. Neat and clean
Because of the slow writing speed, sometimes in order to pursue speed, many people write very sloppy words. This record is recorded, but when I look back later, I don't know what I wrote. At the same time, scribbled fonts and chaotic layout also greatly affect your desire to look down.
Taking notes does not require how beautiful your words are, but at least they must be clear and horizontal. If you are weak in this area, try to use a notebook with horizontal stripes.
3. Create partitions
According to the characteristics of the content, it is necessary to establish a corresponding partition in your notebook, which is a point that many people do not realize or pay attention to.
For example, many people like to record in the book what they need to do that day. At the same time when meeting and reading, record the meeting content or reading notes on the book. Moreover, the "sequential recording method" is adopted, which is to record in the order of the paper sheets.
The consequence of this is that after a long period of time, your content is completely irregular and looks messy. Such notes are of low value for subsequent review, it is better not to record
Generally speaking, the content of our notes can be roughly divided into the following categories:
A. Time and task management
For example, to-do items of the day, important reminders, etc., all belong to this category.
B. Activity record content
Such as meeting records, lecture notes, training records, etc.
C. Personal output content
For example, your inspiration records, article ideas, thesis outline, etc., can be classified as personal output content.
D. Scattered information records
For example, for temporary needs, record the customer's phone number, the address of a certain restaurant, etc., which are uniformly classified as scattered information records.
According to the above situation, in order to ensure that our notes are organized, the best way is to create a new book, before using it, create different partitions in different parts, generally about 3-4 partitions, different partitions The room is separated by tools such as sticky notes or shelves.
For example, assuming that your book is 100 pages, you can divide each 25 pages into 1 partition, and then specify which major category of content each partition is used to record.
In fact, we can even use different types of paper to record different forms of content.
For example, inspiration, creation, drawing notes, it is best to use blank paper. The meeting minutes and reading notes need to be organized, and it is best to use striped paper. For graphics with higher accuracy, fine graph paper can be used. Many people like to use a hand account because it is possible to insert several different types of paper cores in a hand account at the same time, which is naturally suitable for recording content with different characteristics.
4. Create an index
One of the biggest disadvantages of paper notes is that it is particularly troublesome to go back afterwards. The current better solution is to manually create an index by means of sticky notes.
For example, for example, after finishing the meeting minutes of a major meeting, we can put a note on the right side of the paper at the beginning of the meeting minutes, and then write the content title in the exposed part. It is much more convenient to look back afterwards afterwards.
In addition, there is another way to scan the contents of paper notes on a regular basis and upload them to an electronic note with OCR recognition function like Evernote. In future management, you can directly search related notes through keywords, combining the advantages of paper notes and digital notes. Of course, the disadvantage of this is that there is an additional process, which is more time-consuming.
5. Use a different stylus
For taking notes, we can use one pen or multiple pens. If you want to make your notes more readable and more beautiful, it is recommended to equip at least two pens of different colors and one highlighter.
When recording content, the core title can be colored with a highlighter, and the key sentences in the large content can be recorded with water pens of different colors. This approach may make you feel a bit cumbersome when recording (it will be fine once you get into the habit), but you must feel very happy when you re-read the notes in the future!
