- It's finally here and I'm so excited!
This video is part 1/3. This series is divided as follows:

3. Extra tips to incorporate (depending on the subject) (1:32)
4. Flip through some class binders where I use handwritten notes, and show you how I organize all the notes for a course (2:55)
WHY IS THE MISTRAL METHOD SO AWESOME:
- ADAPTABLE | I use it for typed AND handwritten notes, and I even use the same system in my bullet journal! No need to memorize different colour codes and styles.
- EFFICIENT and QUICK | I HATE rewriting notes. I feel like I'm better off just studying. The Mistral Method withstands rapid-fire lectures and slow brainstorm sessions
- ORGANIZED | I review, not study for tests - all because the process of taking the notes has already ensured I store the material in a logical, organized way - both in my brain and on paper.
- TEST OF TIME | I've been using the same one for the past 2 years for all my subjects and it works perfectly!
This system is HUGE, but it’s absolutely amazing and I’m so proud of it. I hope you use it and/or get inspired by it.! Later, I might make shorter but more detailed videos about specific aspects of my system. Let me know what you'd like to see in the comments! I love hearing from you!
And remember: when it comes to studying, MORE isn’t necessarily better.
A lot of people ask me about the time it takes to stay organized and whether that’s an issue. And as I’ve come to realize more and more, BEING ORGANIZED is what 80% of my success is attributed to. Sure, it takes a bit more time to GET organized, but then your mind is organized too! The tasks are easier to break down and do. And the tests are easier to study for - because you’ve been studying this whole time already. Keep that in mind! :-)

Where were you 20 years ago!! I could have used this system!! Great job; love your work!! Please keep it up; and thank you!!
When you see those tons of graphs "ahh, an economics student".
LOL yepp!
OMG!! This video was honestly so so so helpful!! I have never seen a notetaking video like such on youtube that is explaining things in so depth!! Love it!!!
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. NOt only your notes really neat but the way you explain is so well planned out a organised.
I've been watching a lot of note-taking videos to get ideas and this one is honestly one of the best. It is flexible, visual, and unique to you. Great job!
That means so much, thank you! So glad you found it helpful! ❤️
This was very helpful. I’ve been looking for note taking tips. Thanks so much.
OMG I love this method that you use ❤ thank you for sharing this 😍
Could you make a video on you’re typed notes? Also do you prefer grid or lined paper?
For sure!! I prefer graph paper - though I don't really know why. I think it just looks better and more organized, and lends itself better to a varied note layout. But I still use lined paper for my literature journal (the FiloFax one)!
Absolutely interested in the typed video ideas. Loved that idea
Thank you for this. I discovered my daughter didn't know how to read. Thus helped us.
Please make a typed notes video! U have helped me so much!
Now I get that this video is meant to explain how to take good notes. But WOW, you have literally got the nicest hands I have ever seen.
Haha, you made me laugh! What an interesting compliment - thanks!
My daughter says for night prep, she is more awake because the activities help her. Changing pens, sticky notes etc help.
Thanks 😊...I really like this vid
your note taking skills are damn adorable !!!
Ah, so happy you took my time stamp idea in the description! This video is super helpful already and I can't be more excited to watch the other videos. Thank you!
A little note (no pun intended): there's a typo in the description (I'm one of those weirdos that actually read it). Above your helpful links: but then your mind it organized too!
Nicky xoxo
Ahh thank you so much Nicky! I'm so glad you find it helpful!
typed notes video please!!!
Is there a cheaper but similar option to the fliofax notebook besides binders? I hate carrying all that around in my backpack.
Hi! Awesome video- I'm going to college next Fall so this series is so helpful. Can you tell me where you buy your graph paper (any links/ what brand)? I'm looking for some graph paper with faint lines like yours and have been having a hard time.
Hi! I buy it from my local Staples, it's the small grid type and the basic Staples brand. I'm not sure if you have access to a Staples but if you do, they probably carry it too. Hopefully you can find some!
So can we use the handwritten notes for science classes?
1:08 Can u plz tell which fonts u used in the typed note in the right side.
Please tell all the names of the fonts!!
Great video! If I may ask, which university will you be attending this Fall?
I'm off to Queen's University in Ontario :-) Studying commerce!
typed notes plz!
I love your videos, I’m amazed.
I do have a question.
I’ve watched all of your videos. My oldest will be 12 tomorrow, Feb 7, he starts middle school in August. (7th grade where we live) He’s a little behind due to a speech delay. I work with him, but I want HIM to learn his style and set him up for a path to success and know that even though he struggles he can do better.
Anyways, what my question is... Can you do a must haves for a little younger (7-8th grade). School supply recommendations on a budget but still good products. Tips, tricks, maybe ideas that I can assist him with at home?
Maybe something about study buddies or parental guidance/help?
I’m not sure I’m doing a good job, basically I assist and do homeschooling after school with him. We work really hard to get him on grade level, but I guess I need ideas or suggestions to help and encourage him.
Thank you! That sounds like a lovely idea. I've been thinking of some kind of a supply favourites list, so I'll definitely look into doing that but also finding budget friendly and accessible options (which is also important to me, since I'm off to university soon). In fact, I've been experimenting with using mild-coloured crayola markers instead of the more expensive Mildliner highlighters lately, haha. :-P
And I'm sure you're doing an amazing job! All the best!
Mistral Spirit I love the Crayola supertips, they 100 box with the pretty pastels and muted colors are on amazon for under $11
What do u think about corporate with mindmap note taking too?
As in, taking notes in meetings or in a corporate environment?
I wonder if you are in Quebec or IB program is all around Canada. I found that some of your lessons are like mine.
Yeahh! I'm in Canada and I'm doing the IB certificate (so HL english, SL math, HL econ). How about you, what courses are you taking?
Can you do a video about how to type your notes
Typed notes please !!
Can you make a video on all of your school supplies??
Will do!! :-D
What did you do to have that writing 😩
What if you have to use a laptop for *all* of your classes.
Is it mandatory? That's odd! I've never heard of a school where you're forced to. But I'll work on a video for how I make my typed notes! I use Word ;-)
What binder do you use?
Helloo! I use a regular, everyday white binder that comes in a set of 4 from Costco. I'm pretty sure they're 1 inch. If you mean my notebook with removable pages, I've just added a link in the description! It's called a "FiloFax Executive".
Mistral Spirit thanx
And i love your blog
What nail polish are you using?
Haha, I've never gotten that question before! I use any kind of shiny, off-white colour. I like Sally Hansen a lot in terms of brands. Hope that helps! ;-)
Sally Hansen is a pretty good brand
i really like your notes please give a pdf of yours polity notes
hey what ib subjects did u do and how'd u go
I took HL English and SL math (couldn't do HL in both at my high school). I also did HL economics. Other than that I took a variety of academic courses in accounting, philosophy, politics and history!
@@ioanahayman oh so did you do an ib diploma?
IB Diploma would be the full IB program, where you do an extended essay! I chose to only get the IB Certificate, mainly so I could choose some of the IB courses.
Can you please make a video on time management 😅😅 (i am very bad at it)
I did! Check this one out ;-) mistralspirit.com/2019/11/22/time-management/
Thank you 😊
5:57 you never made a typed notes video! I would love to know how to convert this to digital
notetaking
I did! :-) Here it is: mistralspirit.com/2018/12/18/so-many-readings/
I enjoy writing notes, but I'm am in grade 10 and in grade 9 my school gave everyone in my grade iPads to use, and everyone hates them but the teachers. None of my teachers in semester 1 grade 10 used them but all 3 of my regular classes are saying that we have to use them, and they weight like 10 pounds. To make it worst my period 1 teacher said that we can not have our bags in the room and we can not have our coats in the class and that we are not allowed to charge our devices in the class. I know I am lucky to have the iPad but you have to realize that nobody in my grade has ever used technology to this extent for school and that we did not realize that the teachers could one day be like " take out you iPads " and the next week you would need pencil and paper but you would bring both to class since you don't know what the teacher might want you to use next.
Aww, that sounds very restrictive, which is unfortunate. But as you suggested, the iPad is pretty cool and it can definitely be used for super-great notes! In fact, when I go to university next year, I'm planning on switching up my notes a bit to make them more digital. If you find an app that lets you take notes both in text and handwriting, you could merge the two systems and still get to write the notes! It would be more practical and easy to carry than a binder too. Good luck! :-)
Yes I like handwriting notes📝 instead of notes taking by typing....👩💻💻
I miss my religion class ;;-;;
Interesting presentation but the background music ("plonk") is very, very annoying. It soes not anything else than stress and make it difficult to focus on you.
