Perks of Note-Taking

Have you been trying to get habituated with the practice of making notes, but not getting the proper inducement to do so? Don't worry, you will surely be filliped by going through some of the benefits of note taking that I have curated for you. 

Do you ever wonder how students get good grades? The secret lies in the fact that they prefer making notes to auditory learning. 

Making notes might seem a little boring to you provided you have books and sources like YouTube and Doubtnut that serve the same purpose but trust me, if you start making notes it will not only help you pass your exams with flying colors but will also improve your mental abilities, which include verbal comprehension, spatial ability, inductive reasoning, number facility, word fluency, associative memory and perceptual speed. 

Now let us understand more broadly by diving into some of the benefits of NOTE TAKING listed below: 

Improves Writing Skills:

You get a knack for writing answers if you are habituated with making notes. 

Saves Time As Well As Unnecessary Effort:

It saves your time as well as your effort when your exams are in the offing. When we don't have proper notes we either go online or offline scrounging for material to study and this helter-skelter approach doesn't work well during examinations. Therefore, if you want to avoid all the encumbrances associated with it, it is recommended for you to have proper notes.

Saves Your Day By Not Letting You Procrastinate:

It is a human tendency to Procrastinate things when one doesn't have the resources needed to be done with a particular task. When we don't have notes, we stop paying attention to our studies which in turn has a negative toll on our grades. 

Improves Memory and Retention:

When you jot/note/write down something it gets saved in your subconscious mind. Therefore, it becomes easy for you to access the information whenever and wherever you want. Furthermore, you don't need to visit your teacher everytime you need help with a topic. You just have to open your notebook and revise the part that needs revision and it will only be possible if you make notes. 

A Modus Operandi That Makes You Organized:

Moreover, when you make notes you write it in a way that can be easily understood. It helps you to understand the intricacies and little details that couldn't be understood by just reading your own text books. 

Helps You Focus On Quality Rather Than Quantity:

What do we do when we are told to give an extemporaneous speech? We put down the relevant points on a piece of paper and then dwell on these. When we make notes we only take down what's important, so that we can dwell on it later.

Conclusion:

Now that you have had a look on the various advantages of NOTE TAKING, how you use these notes is totally up to you. You can either mug up every word or "make head or tail of it". Doing the LATTER will help you soar to greater heights. Remember, mugging up is just a shortcut and shortcuts don't really work well in real life. They won't take you a great distance whereas if you avoid such shortcuts and take the longer route, it will candidly benefit you in fullness of time. 

These aren't the only boons of note making but are surely the most relevant ones. You may find more if you think from your standpoint. Let me know your thoughts regarding it by commenting in the "COMMENTS" section below.
