Using Flag Half Boxes to Take Notes
It's back to school season! It's such a bittersweet time of the year with summer ending and classes starting, but here's a way to look forward to it! I'm going to show you how I use PFP stickers to take notes while studying. Not only does it make my notes prettier to look at, but I find it to actually help me learn the material better as well! You also don't need a thousand stickers- think simple so that it's easy on your eyes and not too time consuming!
I take my study notes in my Chic Sparrow Odyssey traveler's notebook in the extra wide size. My inserts are the large Moleskine Cahier notebooks. I decided to use my pastel sticker collection from PFP (it's my fave!).
The first thing I do when I begin my notes is give my page a title. I like to use some pretty lettering to make it stand out at the top of the page. Once I have my title, I use one of these tab stickers on the edge of my page so that when I'm flipping through my notes, I can easily turn to this important topic.
The next thing I like to do is make a subheading. It's important to break down your ideas into smaller chunks so that your brain can easily process all of the information. I used a banner doodle to indicate my subheading (it doesn't have to be perfect). I used the halfboxes with flags to further break down the material.
In the spaces next to the halfboxes, I filled in small details of each pertaining topic using bullet points. I left some room on the bottom so that I could add to this topic once I attend the lecture. In this section, I can put in any notes that my professor highlights.
I try not to overwhelm my pages with stickers because then it defeats the purpose of making my notes easy to read. Here's the final look:
I really hope you guys enjoyed these quick tips on sprucing up your notes! Best of luck on the new school year- you got this <3
