- How to take amazing notes! Hopefully this video will help to give you some tips and tricks about taking effective (and pretty!) notes in the future! Exams are coming up soon (unfortunately...) and notes are a crucial part of studying :) Do you have any other tips on taking notes? Should I make a video about studying tips/organization? xoxo ❤︎ Holly

BestOf JOJO 😂 omyghad thats really funny for me 😂
BestOf JOJO lol!!!!!!
BestOf JOJO IKR! teachers are sometimes so impatient like srsly its not the end of the world😂😂
😂😂😂LOL
hahaha lmao
3 main points:
1. awesome video!
2. I am going to spend waaaay too much time on the handwriting itself
3. I'm only watching note taking vids instead of studying for final exams! 😅😅😂😂👌👌👏👏🙃🙃😄😄😤😤📱📱
In class, I would messily scribble them on a random sheet of paper but when I go home, I would neatly rewrite them with lots of colour (with inspiration from this) and detail! It motivates me to study and is tons of fun!
On Tumblr or Pinterest look up #studyblr for inspiration its amazing
I'm taking notes about taking notes ✨
Skyler Rae Same Here!
Lmao same here 😂
Lol
🤣🤣
Lol😅🤣
It's not only you
2.6M people are doing the same
im watching note taking videos instead of doing my homework does that count
trashcan't Lol saaameee!
trashcan't same here
trashcan't same here but after u take notes try do the homework with the notes in front of you
the seconde time try without watching the note and if u struggling check the notes again , and the last time try do the homework as if you were in exam ! give urself 1 hour or 30 min to finish in time thats what my dad told me to do and it worked as magic
trashcan't OMG SAAAAMMMMEEEEE
trashcan't
same
How everyone writes notes:
*INSERT LESSON*
-note
-note
Etc.
How I write mine:
*INSERT LE-*(doodles)
Same
Pretty much my life
PancakeStack _ I also do your way. but, somehow, I pass my test. if you look into my school notebooks, it is full of doodles. I also have 5 notebooks/sketchbooks
Farah Ahmad same .-.
Same! Like all my notes have random doodles on them😂😂
and here I am not doing my work but figuring out how to make my notes look better
oh, do work love. you'll be in hell of a lot of trouble !
me everyday of my life tbh 😂
Sameee
HippyHoneyBees lol
Omogosh same lol
*goes to a stationary store*
Me:
*buys every kind of pen*
- ßlast me all the time when I go to Daiso lol.
- ßlast omg same and most of the time I already got 100 Pens at home but I need more
Me: this one has a pastel set, but this one has neon. I need both *mom* because I use both pastel and neon. They're a need not a want!
- ßlast *stationery
me
That's what my notes used to look like back in high school. XD then I forgot how to write after 10 lectures
Nyanna Ross haha well good luck! As long as your notes work for you, that's all that matters ☺️
Nyanna Ross lectures? On writing pretty and fancy? I mean Jesus Christ atleast you did your homework! Right? Like strict teachers are a real pain in the butt, they ruin the little bit of fun school COULD actually be!
Cousin and Cousin Gaming no. Writing notes during lectures messed up my handwriting because of the rapid hand
Nyanna Ross Omg same XDDD
Nyanna Ross 600th like
It's impossible for me to take notes like this😂 my teachers call out the notes really fast and I would lose all the pens😂
jot down everything quickly in class, then organize and rewrite them when you have time. it's extra work, but you really learn the material through the process, instead of remembering random facts that you'll probably forget right after a test
JustSelena same
JustSelena true
JustSelena same🙁
我是人 good idea
Brain: gotta focus and do this
Hand: hey you know what would look good on this page
Brian: No take n-
Hand: A DRAGON
Brain: wtf, no
Hand: *trails off* yea a big dragon breathing fire
Brain: We are missing the slides
Hand: but the dragon looks cool
Brain: are you done
Hand: ya
Brain: k lets take notes
Hand: Let's draw a fox!
Brain: *facepalms*
honestly I relate to this comment so much! XD
Same lmao 😂
lol
Hand: Owww! That hurt!
Kimidog I
How everyone uses their paper:
*writes diary*
Me:
*draws everything random*
XD SAME
Same I could never stop doodling.
- ßlast same and then I start drawing in my hands and legs and everything lol
- ßlast Same xD
Arielle Rodriguez Same lmao
I never thought I'd leave a like on a video about writing notes at 1:39 in the morning.
I just did that rn, it's 01:37 😂😱
lol I wouldn't have enough time to organize my notes like this right in class
Strawbarri same
Strawbarri gg
G
Strawbarri during class, you can write "draft" notes on a separate piece of paper like on a yellow pad and when you get home (or when you have time), you can rewrite the notes on your notebook. you could also write down your notes on pencil on your notebook and just fix it when you have time. :)
Strawbarri ikr!i live in romania and here teachers talk so fricking fast!and im only in the 6th grade!
wow I can't imagine rewriting my notes for hours of lecture time just to make it pretty lol
but I guess it is a way
Write messy notes in class
Going home do this :") Writing notes in class makes the info stick in your head and going home doing this motivates you to study more when its time to revise ^^
Btw gr8 work Holly lovin' this! ❤️
Thanks so much! Those are my thoughts exactly!
Bts armyyyy?!!!!
As an art kid it’s so hard to do group projects .-.
Me: “Should I draw and color?”
Random dood: “Actually, I want to color.”
Me: “..Alright.”
Also me: “ *takes out special markers (for me only!) and starts to swatch colors.* “
Random dood: “ *takes one of the markers* “
Me: “W0T aR3 YoU d01Ng!?”
;o; omg tyyy~
A beautiful potato ;3 SAME
A beautiful potato ;3 SAMMEEE
I have never related to something so much!!!
W H E A T THIS IS SO FREAKING TRUE
W H E A T same
If I had to do this I would miss half the notes in class...
Taryn Carroll Hey, come check out my channel!!! 😀😀😍😘😝😂😉
Marvelous Molly hey! No bitch!!
The point is to take hasty notes in class, then organising them at home. That way you automatically go through what you have learned, while making sure you have clean and organised notes to go back to when you have to study.
Carlotta TheFriendlyPerson i would be wasting paper that i wrote my hasty notes on.
Carlotta TheFriendlyPerson The only class I can write in pencil in Math. They do give out school supplies at my school, but in a raffle or lottery. The only time I got school supplies from school was when I was a freshman.
GodDAMNIT THERE ARE sO AESTHETIC AND PRETTY ahh *walks into stationary section of a store and buys everything black and pastel*
cindy Gurrl I feel ya😂
Cole sprouse I mean Jughead I love your picture
JUGHEAD MMMM
armys are literally everywhere omg
unbeliebubble c
Everyone is here complaining about not having time to do this in class. Hehehe, I just LISTEN to the teacher during class and record so I can do notes afterwards.
Jake Rose you smart
Clever idea 💡 I like it
But what if your teacher had a surprise quiz after the discussion? My teachers always do that -_-
Jake Rose same
My instructors didn't allow recording. We figured out it was because if we have wrong info and we called him on it.. he said I didn't say that, I'm an instructor and never wrong. Well how can an entire class have the SAME wrong answer?? 🤔🤔
Why am I watching this when there is less than a month of school left? Why?
Ava Sanchez you wasted you're time LOL
oh wait..
Ava Sanchez I'm already in summer 2k18
Same dude
i think i might consume more time decorating than studying xD but this is a really good video!
Kawaii Aruka You wanna sub to me?
Uni Kate why are you being rude? From what I see she wasn't talking to you and the comment was just rude and disrespectful.
*interrupts the video and pops up on the screen*. CORNELL NOTES BISH
Charlette O'Con You wanna sub to me?
Charlette O'Con I hate Cornell notes 😫
OMG Cornell notes SUCKKK
Artistic Aristocrat uuugh I hate Cornell notes.
Teacher: okay class let's move on
Me: wait! I gotta finish taking note!
Teacher: hurry up
Me: *writes as fast as I could*
Teacher: okay now, we got no time let's move on.
10 minutes later...
Teacher: What does cytoplasm mean?
Me: *looks at paper and all could see was scribbled words*
Me: Uhhhh...
I can relate somehow 😂
Urban xtae same lol 😂
hey army
Xoxo
have two notebooks or at least a notebook and a folder (or if you use a binder have a seperate tab w loose leaf) and write your notes in your normal handwriting without the fancy extra stuff. then when you get home or have free time you can go into the seperate notebook/section and make them all cute. its not only more practical but it's a good study tool too. then put the cute notes in your folder/binder.
How to procrastinate for 10min at a time by using 300 pens.
This is so so inspiring! And maybe it's weird to say but gurl yo thumbnails are everything!
Noshi thank you so much!! It's taken so long to discover how to make thumbnails I like (if you scroll down my videos you'll see some very strange ones... 😂) I really like your videos too!! We should do a studying collab sometime :)
Imaginfinity that's an awesome idea ^-^
Noshi would you be interested in doing a collab in the next couple weeks (to help ppl with exams)?
Imaginfinity OMG YES! Do you have a Tumblr or something where we can talk?
Noshi I have Instagram (@Imaginfinity) where we can DM! I have a tumblr too but I don't know how to use it 😂
It's so scary that the content in your note is exactly what I'm studying for.
I'm suspecting whether u take the O levels
Haha cool. I'm in grade 10 in the IB prep program :)
I'm in Singapore 16years old
saaaaame lol
HaHaHappyXD I'm about to take PSLE 😭 wish me luck...
I swear I need to make my notes like tht
I have basically developed my own language that only i can understand when taking notes cuz teachers are not waiting on you
Elaine L same but then when the teacher looks at what I wrote he/she tells me to rewrite all my notes 😫
SAME I do this all the time but it helps me write faster even though no one understands😂😂
J hopeeeeeeeeeeeee
Amazing video Holly! 😍 You are so talented and very creative! 😄I absolutely enjoyed watching this video! ❤︎ Loved how you edited as well! I also film with the same camera as you and I use Final Cut Pro X, which I just got a week ago! Lol! Before I was using the 30 days free trial of Final Cut Pro.
Jazzmin Kaita thanks so much Jazzmin! I LOVE my camera and Final Cut Pro :) they're definitely the best things I own 😄 it's awesome that your have them too!!
Your welcome and I agree they are also definitely my favourite things that I own too! 😉
Its cool... but taking notes while the teacher is talking... I don't have time to be perfect pretty and switching pens every 1 second because then I will miss every word she/he just said
christina qi This is what I do: take a old/unfinished notebook you don't use, in class quickly jot down everything. Then at home organize the notes and put it down in your actual notebook. This helps study since your writing it down a second time.
pfffft...I go home and relax on a couch...
And enjoy anime
Anime• Edge•
Omg I do the same thing XD LOL
christina qi then right your notes and re-wright them all fancy like the vid.(if you want to..)
christina qi I agree
this made me so happy, i just found this now but wow.
i have terrible handwriting that'll never improve. whenever i have new teachers they always look at my work as if i have never picked a pen in my life before and this was the outcome. but that little note you gave about not having nice handwriting, yet it still being awesome was the highlight of my day, thank you.
Not even a whole minute in and already failing props to the creative people like you!! That is a talent!!
Thank you! This helped a lot. Also, i'm about to go to high school. Wish me luck :(
awesome! Good luck! High school is great; I'm sure you'll enjoy it! (it's not like the movies, just make good friends and try your best and you'll learn a lot/have fun!!)
+Imaginfinity Thank you!❤
Badger Angel i'm in the same boat as you :")
I've heard that the high school im going to is rly nice, but still
Badger Angel SAME I'M SO SCARED
Piggy same!! class of 2021.
This is so creative! I love it :)
Fashionbygeorgiax thanks!
I absolutely love this! Your handwriting and organization and colors and everything!
i foUND IT- you are the first ever person to actually inspire me back last year omfg tysm without you i wouldn't be doing all this!! lyy 💓💘
*There is no chronological consistency. Bazinga! You did well.*
It's actually thick downstrokes & thin upstrokes--you switched it.
UniquelyyCarlyy oh whoops haha. That's what I meant... maybe I'll make a video just about that ;) Thanks!
No problem! Wonderful video, by the way! :)
Yeah it is
So far the best I've seen
Thx for the visuals I needed that!!!
THE MUSIC IS AESTHETICALLY PLEASING TO MY EARS LIKE LITERALLY 😫💯
I am just watching how to study vids instead of actually studying for my finals which starts this Thursday XD
I need the video's music playlist please!!!!!!!Geez! Every single song sound catchy 😍😍😍😍
duyen nguyen I know one of the songs. joe hertz-stay lost ft Amber-Simon (cabu remix)
duyen nguyen on of them is called fantasy by alina baraz
Jashanique Burt do you know the track at 2:34?
Potato ARMY sorry but I dont, If I find out what it is I will let you know
I've suddenly wondered into the studying and note taking side of CZcams and its like entering a different world !
So much colour 😍
The editing of this video is the nicest and the most aesthetic one I've ever ever seen! Great job!
Just my opinion, I think that when taking notes.. I actually prefer the black pen or blue pen (depends what i am using) only because ain't nobody have time for that bruh but if your professor, teacher or instructor recommend you to just research or rewrite the pages of the books in your notebook, Never mind me.. But I like studying with plain black/blue pen and just highlight impotant details only.. But, If you like it that way then continue. Thnx.
Same! I think that taking a different pen for a few words and then switching out is such a waste of time, if you have highlighters, why don't you use them? Plus, I like the way highlighters look lol
To be honest... I just noticed how similar our handwriting is 🤣 except I write the A's and T's differently
Thank you so much! I love the cursive writing and this will make revision so much more enjoyable and easier!
this video has real tips on notetaking! thank you so much for making it.
I have problems:
When i take notes and even 1 letter looks off, i NEED to throw the paper away and start again. I think it’s such a waist of paper but i just can’t help it! Someone help?
Hayley Summer sammnneeeee
Use white out. If it's a colored paper buy a few of those and tints so that you have a variety of those.

I did the same thing before all the time but lately when I see a letter thats off I just suck it up & continue because in the end I dont even notice because all together it looks nice
Alexis Castillo see
I'm going to use this to study Japanese!
Awesome! Good luck :)
Me too
I really love this video! As someone who spends lotsa time looking for ways to make / improve notes this is very helpful and I love the music!!!
This video is amazing holly!!! I love it. It inspired me to take notes like that!! Keep up the good work.
I love writing my notes like this and I have all the materials I need to do so period but the thing is is that in class when we're actually taking her notes I don't have the time to do it this way. Our teacher expects us to jot down a paragraph in two minutes.
Hi, I don't know if you're going to reply? But I'll comment anyways, so where did u get ur pens and highlighters?
Loving your videos lately too, really helping me with my high school life❤️❤️❤️
AngieJellyBug omg thank you so much! That means a lot 😄 I got my coloured pens and a few of my black pens from Muji (there's one in Toronto, but there might be some where you live or you could order them online. They're my FAVOURITE pens!!). The highlighters are called mildliners and I ordered them on Amazon (they're not available here in Canada). I also got a set of black pens from ikea. And my brush tip pen is the brand Tombow (it's a Japanese brand but I bought it at an art supply store)
Imaginfinity Thank u so much for replying, and thank you for telling me the brands
❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE this video. Very helpful, inspiring, and it motivated me to make my notes pretty!
You take such concise and to the point notes. Props to you! Seriously - very motivational. :)
its thick downstrokes and thin upstrokes
If you cant do that with your notes litterally someone made a video where they like are like use a notebook to write all of it so you dont take too much time and write all of it as fast as you need for the time being and than later write them pretty and perfect and nice at home or at lunch or after the time
Thank you! I'm really gonna try this year to take notes and do well thanks again!
I love this method!! It's so cool and I have been motivated to write my notes neater!😁😁
You definitely deserve more subscribers. like, *WAYYYY TOO MANY SUBS* . 'Cause you're worth it!!!! and yeah I enjoyed this video so so soooooo much!!!!
Loads of love,
Your faithful subscriber
😇😇😇
I loved this thank you
Shania Peters
Yes it was!
By far this is the MOST helpful video of its kind that I've seen! Thanks ^.^
I'm doing a research about taking notes and this helps me so much 💛 Thank you so much 💚
These songs are so lit!!!!
I’m from India and trust me, we don’t have so much to decorate our notes
Eva Rajput only an indian can understand 😀
Hi I am also an Indian and in class five and our teacher does not allow us to do decoration with the note do ur teacher too??
My teacher is like “I don’t like so many colours on your book.”
I’m like “but I do, and it’s MY book ya’know.”
Me 2..My Teacher Would Shout "Is Dis A Drawing Book Or NoteBook?"
I Also Want 2 Do Dis... But Where's D Tym?
Love the look of your videos! Your notes and techniques look fab! Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank u so much for these tips! I think I'll take messy notes during class and rewrite them in this form which will help me remember and make my studying notes pretty 😄
What's the name of the first song that played???
What were the songs you used?x
this is actually the best note video I have ever watched and I have literally watched so many tysm for this
This is very inspiring and your notes look so pretty! Keep up the good work!😀
If you are learning how to write fancy and want a fancy pen just write larger with a highlighter 😛
I had a heart attack at 3:35
I feel like imma turn in an assignment and make it pretty
Teacher: well you got an F on note taking but..
Me: but what?
Teacher: you get an A+ in art
Me: YES ART CAREER HERE I COME!!
I'm obsessed with your song choices and editing
sound track is 2:34 pleasssseee!!!! 😢😢😢
and potato army never got an answer........
It's called "No way back" by Gregor Cembala. I know this because I Shazamed it. Download the "Shazam" app so that you never have to miss out on a song you really like, ever again. It is one of the greatest app creations ever.
No! The song it's called "la la la/worldstar money rework" by engelwood. ♥️
You have my same handwriting! 😱😂
cool :)
i WISH i had the same handwriting haha
This is such a great video! It provides amazing information! Looking forward to using these methods and techniques in my next school year!😄😄
Oh, you're so good. And,15? Really?
You make me think about how I used to be when I was 15.
I was more like a math student and a Chinese chess player
who loved thinking more than anything (so, no reading and notetaking XD)
Then, I met a passionate old English teacher
who had obsession with Natural English.
So, it was like "Two things added together", which was tough.
But, when it was done, it was super amazing.
It's a long journey.
I just want to say thank you, Holly.
I can't express how grateful I'm.
To you, it's sharing.
To me, it's a golden opportunity to unlock myself once again,
and to take one step further to develop a solid skillset of learning.
Who has the time
; Jolene MEEEEEEEE
; Jolene Probably a lot of people. Like me. But some of us (me again) just can't get motivated enough to actually be productive. ._.
Lolli Polli01 I feel so related.
Uh me
Not me 😂 because I can do only one thing at a time i.e either listen to the teacher or take notes 😭
*when i did this but nobody really didn't care*
Thanks! I'll be using this once I enter high school next year♡
these tips are really helpful! thank you so much for sharing!
AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR DAT
Leah Skinner dont be rude. How about doing it when someone I͟M͟P͟O͟R͟T͟A͟N͟T͟ does need the time
BROOKLYNN I don't think she was trying to be rude. XD She's just joking, you know? Also, she has a point that it might be time-consuming to make notes like this.
FIRST SONG USED
This is awesome! Thanks for the tips and for highlighting that it doesn't have to be perfect and that mistakes are ok.🙂
Excellent stationary used and best collection of background music . You have amazing choice. Thumbs up . Keep it up
As pretty as this is, this type of handwriting wastes tons of time. You'll be better off learning to write cursive, to cut paragraphs into bullet points, and to use few colored pens.
Just my opinion. Nice video though.
rubat0 Thanks! Yeah sometimes writing more in depth helps me at the beginning, but I condense things a lot afterward (mind mapping is great for that)
Imaginfinity I totally agree. Sometimes cutting words in half doesn't do it for me haha.
rubat0
Oh, in a scientific study it shows cursive and fancy fonts help people study. The fonts make the brain do more work to read the words, which activates a part of the brain which helps you memorize and stay more focused. I don't remember all the details though. So the cursive fonts do help!
And dividing topics and seperating them by writing them in different colours helps too. Like for example if you wrote how to for example divide something on the same page as how to multiply, you would write the division part in lets say green, and the multiplication part in maybe blue.
My teacher talks too fast
galina, mine too..I take notes in pencil in class that too only key terms and then go home and make it pretty..its a gr8 way to revise too..take a pic of the page on your smartphone/camera erase everything then on used paper make a list of what was on there..cross check with the image and then release that inner picasso ;)
OMG ur note is so colourful and perfect
Awesome i use same tricks in my day to day life... Its nice to know people love share there real ideas and information.
Can you please share the music? :)
xofantasyjs Hey, come check out my channel!
can u also write songs name
I love doing calligraphy when I do notes. It makes my notes look so pretty, definitely a hugeeeeeeee change
this is such a nice way to put some life into your boring black/blue written pages!
so gonna use this!
nice writing by the way
All that doesn't always work if the teacher is going through things fast
Silver Tune Most teachers don't talk slow enough for you to be able to take good notes like this. Usually, you have to just quickly write messy notes in class and then re-write them at home. It helps your brain memorize the information as well because you're writing all the info down a second time.
this is getting me so pumped for school!!!
You can't imagine how this is really helpful! Thanks a lot!
Girl Knows Tech + Studying aww thanks so much
