Since “reviewing sporadically” means more than one time, say 3 times: 30 books x 3 times = 90 calendar events. Perhaps you alert yourself (by some calendar notifications) to re-read your book notes. Even if they do, in most cases it’s “maybe two or three times” (in a year maybe?) There’s no review-schedule system.įor instance, you have 30 books in your “Book notes” collection, when are you going to re-read each book note? If you’re a dedicated learner, without a review-schedule system, you will have to manually keep track of all the review schedules. Most people are not aware that you need to review them. When your note collection grows, it’s impossible to maintain a re-reading review schedule. “Review frequently” is unsustainable in the long-term. Summarization and highlighting are not effective. Creating notes (by summarizing and highlighting).
The above two cases can be broken down into two components: What are the problems? Two Critical Flaws in Any Note-taking System You review them frequently or “once in a while”.
You have a note collection for all the books you’ve read over the years. After finishing your notes you re-read them “frequently” before exam (next week or month).Īnother use case: you take notes for every book you read. You write down a condensed version in OneNote/Evernote.
You’re reading a textbook for your class. Intended uses of any note-taking system (summarization, highlighting and re-reading)Īnother similar discussion: 3 Fatal Reasons Why You SHOULDN’T Be Taking Notes When Studying However, if what you want is more than that, and is also about helping you learn (which I believe this should be the end goal), then SuperMemo trashes any note-taking systems. This is an unjust comparison if what you want from a note-taking system is nothing more than knowledge management: storing and organizing notes into with a folder structure.
