Mastering the Art of Note-Taking: Finding What Works for You

Effective note-taking is an essential skill for university, but everyone’s style is a bit different. Finding a method that works for you can help you retain information better and make studying easier.

If you’re a visual learner, mind maps or diagrams might be useful for organizing your thoughts. If you’re more structured, the Cornell method—where you divide your notes into summaries, key points, and details—can help you keep things clear and concise. For people who like a bit of everything, bullet journaling with highlights, colors, or symbols can be a fun and effective way to keep your notes organized.

Experiment with a few techniques, and don’t be afraid to combine different styles until you find what helps you stay focused and absorb information best. And remember, reviewing your notes regularly is just as important as taking them in the first place!
