My Note Taking Tools

Studying for my PSYC165 midterm

I have gotten comments from classmates that I take really good notes. I have neat handwriting and I'm artistic. I am creating a tutorial to show you how I take notes, and hopefully inspire some of you with my work.

Next post will be a step by step tutorial-- stay tuned!

From strength to strength,

Tools

1. Highlighter/Marker:

Zebra Highlighter Mildliner, 5 Color Set (WKT7-5C)
Zebra NC5 Highlighter Mildliner, 5 Color Set (WKT7-5C-NC)



I color code each class, so I have a number of highlighters and designate each class with a single color. I like the Zebra Mildliner Highlighters because they have a thick highlighter on one end and a thin marker on the other-- I'll explain how I use those in the tutorial.

2. Pen
I have a firm grip, so any of those fancy felt tip pens get completely crushed with my handwriting. I prefer gel pens-- I am oddly picky about the look of ballpoint pens. Pencils are too temporary feeling, and the writing doesn't show up as well. I love the Pilot G2 pens.

Currently, however, I am using these cute lil kitty pens.




3. Binder Paper
I've gone through a few phases with notebooks, or legal pads, but right now I'm loving the college ruled binder paper. I decorate the outside of my binder with stickers to make it cute and happy looking, and I can shuffle pages around as needed.

4. Binder
I use a 1 inch binder which I decorate with stickers and quotes.
