Today we’re going to talk about something pretty useful, especially for our students and notetaking lovers. As you know, the way we take out notes influences our perception a lot. With notes taken properly, you can memorize information much easier. And do a better job when it comes to exams (or any other important event when your notes are supposed to help). Which is the reason why we refer to notetaking in the first place.
