From the course: Take Notes That Actually Help You Remember

Take notes that boost memory and focus

Do you ever find yourself leaving little reminders -- a Post-it here, a note on a napkin there -- but later look back at those notes and wonder, “What was that for? What did I mean by that?” What if your notes became a powerful tool for learning faster and retaining information longer? What if good note-taking became second nature? My name is Deila Bumgardner, and I'm a learning design expert who spent over a decade designing curricula and studying how the brain processes information. I've worked with professionals, students, and educators across industries -- -- medicine, technology, art, and even K-12 classrooms -- -- to explore how learning happens and more specifically, how the way our brains process information impacts retention. In this course, you'll discover cognitive science-backed strategies to take better notes, whether you're learning new skills, managing projects, or just want your notes to make more sense when you revisit them. So if you're ready to get the most out of your note taking, then let's get started.
