hi everyone!! I finally, FINALLY, made a how I take notes video going over my entire process / system for taking handwritten notes. As you'll see in the videos, this effective notetaking method takes my grades from C's to A's on exams, helps me maintain a 4.0 GPA (straight A's) in high school and college, and helps me memorize material + deeply understand concepts. It also doesn't hurt that the notes are also (occasionally) neat, aesthetic / pretty, and fun!:) This video has TONS of tips in it, so I would pause every once in a while to read the text on the screen and numerous examples :) hope you enjoy the video and find it helpful!!
p.s. as I say numerous times in the video, this is the "outlining" notetaking method that works for ME but may not work for you!! However, I think some of the tips are pretty universal (like checking the syllabus / study guides, reviewing the first exam and adjusting notetaking strategies from there, etc) and can help save time and energy and help you focus on memorizing and taking notes on material that will actually boost your grades and be relevant to exams. So even if you don't plan on using this exact outlining notes method or even taking handwritten notes, hopefully some tips will still be useful :D
pps. I actually have been taking mostly iPad notes the past couple of years, so this is more of my notetaking method in high school / early college, but it's essentially identical to how I take notes on my iPad right now!

Just a sec to appreciate her editing skills✨

As a uni student i 100% agree with these tips too!! I am a slide annotation FIEND! Most schools allow you to print usually for free or a small fee! PLEASE take advantage of the material your teacher / professor gives you BEFORE class! You can even look smart to your peers being able to answer questions since you skimmed the material beforehand!

Aesthetic notes tips - (that are kinda quicker?)
- Use a single highlighter/pen during class, you can redecorate later!
- Stick to a Color code and don’t go overboard
- Use your favourite Colors for your most hated subject! (this helps you get motivated to study it!)
- Make your study space at home comfy so that you feel motivated to study there

We can all agree that Estella is the aesthetic queen. 2022 was an epic year with Estella let’s see what awesome things she does in 2023!

You had some super great and helpful tips in here that I will be using! I just wanted to add one thing that has made a huge difference to me for in person lectures, I record them! It allows me to focus 100% on what is being said and then later I can listen to take my notes and have the ability to pause. This helped me bring my grades up to As. Thanks for this video and Enzo is so adorable!! 💜💜💜

Ahhhhhh! Finally a vintage theme video! I loved this video, and the stickers she used were fabulous! I also appreciate your work and how you tried to find time to make a video for your viewers and followers. Thank you! You really helped me out.

Hi Estela, 🥰I think the whole community missed you! Happy New Year!!! I think I have been doing your experiment throughout my college career. Now with the master's degree I am still doing it. Here, we have assignments throughout the semester (which are 60% of the final grade) plus the exam, which is the other 40%.
I have excellent grades, even some with honors, ONLY by making notes of those assignments, as you have explained in the "study guide" minutes.
Even though I have the ipad, at finals time I still taking notes on paper. Print those assignments and write above them. In fact, I love to write them with my ergonomic and mechanical pencil that I have since 2015! LOL.
Anyway, taking notes digital or paper, it has always helped me retain better. If I have an exam where we can use our own notes and/or open book, I prefer to work with ipad and open them directly with PDF Expert, and start to write there in order to locate the information better with "control+F". I prefer PDF Expert better than Goodnotes because of the Windows compatibility LOL.
I don't know how to say it in English but in Spanish, apparently, the study method I follow is called: SAMI (underlining + learning + memorization + integration) Spanish words would be Subrayado+Aprendizaje+Memorización+Integración. And it's like, not just making notes by making it, it's like, you have already your lecture notes that the teacher gave you and from those notes you start to making little ones next to the main text... After that, if you want to, you can do an abstract. I think that it's more like Cornell method's.
I have discovered over the years that I do much better doing that, than spending hours and hours writing long notes and trying to summarize an entire BOOK. I mean, I still do notes, but they are not kilometers long like the ones I used to do... but much more efficient. 😀😀😀😀
I'm in LOVE with ENZO! 😍

Your videos are always so engaging, clear, and easy to watch! They're always so, so helpful and relavent. The way you edit and incorporate things are always so well-done. Thank you so much!

I loved seeing everyone's notes at the end. I'm definitely take notes like the one picture with the hand written notes + pink boxes. Loved the video very helpful and I'll be using it tomorrow when I take notes!

This video was very helpful, even though in our school (I am in middle school ) teachers still provide us with notes (what to write) but when I'll go to high school this is definitely gonna be super reliable! Thank you for putting a template to how you write notes, that you put effort into making the words stand for something unusual (it is better to remember it this way) and that you made it visual! Just the best "how to write notes" video, I've seen, and tbh I saw a lot of those...

Check out the Canon SELPHY wireless compact photo printer here!: canon.us/studytosuccess do you prefer paper notes, iPad / tablet notes, or typed notes? I've tried all three over the course of the past 5ish years and for me, regardless of the medium, handwritten notes are a must! I mainly use my iPad these days since it's just easier to download pdfs / write directly on lectures or study guides, but I wouldn't say I see an enormous difference from my notebook days (other than the convenience of not having tons of paper printables and notebooks) 🥰
