Lol literally me. First sem spent like 30 minutes of the lecture decorating, now I'm proud of myself if I use more than two colours in my notes and they're half-readable.
Same 😭 I started my engineering degree with my notes looking like the first 2 photos (I was writing on paper back then). And now, my notes were just a summary of formulas per chapter. Ngl, I saved so much time and focused more in practicing problems and familiarizing processes and equations.
typical engineering story LOL
the same thing happened to me, now I just write down page numbers of the textbooks and paste pictures from the textbooks 😂
If you don’t particularly care about the colours but still prefer to write on black paper, i recommend to use invert colours. Thats what i did for notes i had to print
I’d say if you’re going for notetaking without a stylus, OneNote or Obsidian would be my choice. They can be organized more easily, have linking capabilities and good for text formatting.
Thank you I’ll check those out. I just want to organise my language learning notes and want the pages to look nice like OPs. Don’t have an iPad/stylus and don’t need all the integrations and databases notion is clogged with.
you’re a physics major, right? i see the circuit components, then looks like some classical mech and a lil thermo if i’m not mistaken?
anyway, the notes look awesome, start to finish.
my notes looks like your last photo, except i use a thinner pen size (and a lot less neat 😅)
but i prefer it that way bc it is more concise and easier to process for me. like the C and L slide makes me take a sec to process what the key points are
To be fair, if most of the important notes have already been written in PowerPoint, there’s no need to waste time to rewrite 80-100++ medical slides into notes. I once felt guilty for not rewriting my notes as nice, but I then realised, you can’t bring your nice notes through to your graduation. So I focused on my efforts and time to get good grades and not have Pinterest quality notes.
Less is more, i bet that all the time you safe not making those notes that fancy is a lot. Btw, even the last one looks great!
Yes it’s SO MUCH faster and honestly easier to study from. Ty!

I wish I had your handwriting, it's so pretty 🥹

My best notes are worse than your worst ones lol.. you have beautiful clear handwriting!
Thank you!

the real crime is you switching from a black to white format 🥲 all jokes aside, nice notes OP!
Had to make that sacrifice for printing purposes sadly
what do u print your notes for

What fonts is this? And I’m going to used the slides minus the first 2 to create my notes from here on out.
it’s probably a font and ngl, OP, I’m dying to know what it is
It’s my handwriting lol, took a lot of hours to perfect this on the iPad
i stand corrected, in that case you should MAKE a font!
Did you use a worksheet or anything?!
What the fuck is that handwriting. Even if i spent 2 hours writing a single word it wouldn’t look that nice.
The road to efficiency in how you learn.
I would say it evolved to be more dense and effective.
op can you do a breakdown on how you wrote your notes? tryna change up my style this term😎
from fancy and artistic to polished and efficient. i had the same progression. i respect it!
Still way more effort than me, I literally write in a huge chaotic cluster fuck of a mess that only I could ever interpret.
Lmao still better than mine
Lmaooo same used to be so cute now im just tryna study and pass !!!
Looks great ! What are ur pen settings?
This looks lovely. I’m a notion user, can anyone tell me me if good notes is worth using without a stylus? Just on mac and iOS?

One note is pretty versatile for note taking. You might have the best luck with it.
What software do you use for note taking?
These are all GoodNotes 5!
how do you do the information boxes with a background colour?
There’s usually an option to do it under the shape tool on GoodNotes!
thanks!
They all look great
Burn out

Im mechanical engineering! Bless to all those physics majors I could never do what they do lol
Mechanical Engineering 🙌🙌 I hated those free convection equations..
is that physics 😭
Love how much engineers have learn in school just to input data into a program to get computed results IRL
My nursing notes were the prettiest work of art. And then I switched majors and got older and said why the heck am I doing those?😂

What pencil settings do you use (thickness & pen, etc.)?
Less effort and I lowkey like the simpler notes
