How to Take Notes Productively (Notion Template Included)

My free Notion Toolkit: https://academy.jeffsu.org/notion-toolkit?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=000 📝 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 ✌🏻 TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:40 Effective note-taking systems 03:01 My Notion setup 09:11 Notion template 💪 Support this channel by becoming a member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwAnu01qlnVg1Ai2AbtTMaA/join RESOURCES I MENTION IN THE VIDEO My Notion notes template: https://www.jeffsu.org/my-note-taking-template-for-notion/ Thomas Frank's note-taking video: https://youtu.be/qj9HeT-IaEg Be Productive at Life Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLo-kPya_Ww2zB8GGyTmZdV9yhouquFUBS MY FAVORITE GEAR 🎥 My YouTube Gear - https://geni.us/youtube-gear 🎒 What's In My Bag - https://geni.us/mybag *MY TOP 3 FAVORITE SOFTWARE* ❎ CleanShot X - https://geni.us/cleanshotx ✍️ Skillshare - https://geni.us/skillshare-jeff 📖 Readwise - https://readwise.io/
