    Note Taking: The Scientifically Correct Way to Remember Everything You Write Down

    What if I told you that you’ve been taking notes WRONG your whole entire life. Alright well that was pretty dramatic. But the truth is, when I work with students they have no idea what they’re doing when it comes to notes. Should it should be by hand or on their computer, should they write down everything the teacher says or put it in their own words. And worst of all they spend all this time writing these pretty notes with every pen color in the rainbow, just to never to look at them again. So, In this episode of the student performance podcast, I’m going to take a deep dive into the literature on note taking to teach you how to remember everything you write down.
