This app just changed the game for me. Literally has EVERYTHING I needed AND I can sync it to my phone and study on the go without carrying my laptop...... I'm so excited to take notes all of a sudden. I wish I had this in first year.
I wish I had this when I was a student as well. Notions, Cornwell Note-taking and an overall new-found curiosity has made learning so fun I practically spend all my free time either in the gym or summarising data from the internet. In just 2 weeks I went from barely knowing how to add a table, now I got a journal, fitness journal, resonance calendar, financial overview, recipe data-base with grocery list. Next goal; figuring out how to create a proper data-bank. Game-changer for sure. It's ironic how at school we never learned how to take notes or organise our data, just year 1 of high school that could be such a valuable subject. I didn't hear about Cornwell until a week ago. Did start using the toggle function like crazy but for initial notes, it's amazing.
@Nate Fn This was a while ago ahah, but I assume I mean the 'raw' notes I take and later refine into more bite-size and question explaining answers. Toggle keeps it all organised and also allows me to read my notes with 'cheating' and first try to actively recall the answer, toggle open and see if I covered everything, toggle close. Keeping the raw notes is pointless but at the same time I do like being able to refer to them. Especially after a while to see how I first understood it wrong or what I didn't quite get.
@@heetzingsoon-2486 if you mean do i find it hard to find where I have written certain information, then no, because if you don't know the specific page then you can use the search tool to write a keyword and it will search every single page for that word and from there you can find the information you need.
When he explained how to properly use cornell notes...I was mind blown! In my 2 years of education in the Philippines and 11 years in the United States, no teacher has been able to properly explain how to use cornell notes. It was explained as a form of note taking but with questions you might have if you don't understand something or are curious about something. It was never explained as a form of taking notes for active recall. I am genuinely in disbelief that I haven't know for this long and have been missing out on such an effective form of note taking. The whole video was very useful for a student willing to learn new ways to effectively learn new topics and am always very greatful for Ali sharing his knowledge. It has helped me a lot as a new college student and I am looking forward to learning more on how to be more productive and how to apply to my life, new forms of learning.
but if youre taking notes on notion about how to take notes in notion then you dont need to take notes on notion because you already know how to take notes on how to take notes in notion on notion
Three things: 1. The colour of that t-shirt with the vibe of the room just makes the video so nice and cozy. Saw it on your insta as well and that colour is just sick 2. I was wondering how you would go about using the the traffic light system in the retrospective revision timetable in notion. So, the whole emoji thing is really cool and much more fun than adding colours in google sheets. 3. Loving the Harry Potter references. Ron’s description literally made me lol. Hope u do another “the science of Harry Potter” video
I used active recall, spaced repetition and spreadsheet during the past semester and I got an A for final exam in my first year of medical school. Thank you so much Dr. Ali! 🙏🏻🙂
@The Medical Enthusiast Thank you! :D Yes we do get lecture slides but I find them rather inadequate and just use them as guidelines. Usually, I will go to Google first before starting my revision to get the general rough ideas on particular topics. Then I would form questions based on the learning objectives of the topics and add up the details from the textbooks.
@@MOIR I'm so sorry I've only seen this reply! Yes I do note-taking but I only write important stuff or when I revise my questions, I would write down the answers/key points and it would become my notes. instead of copying down everything from the lecture notes which I find rather time consuming. Hope it helps and stay safe where ever you are!
Wish we had these tools in my university days. In this era of tech, if you're a puntual and attentive student with a good note taking ethic, you can organize your college notes and make them into different textbooks. Learning is more fun today.
Okay so I came to learn how to effectively use notion and am going back with this amazingly powerful technique to make notes and use them for memorization too. I am blown. Also I noticed you taking notes from 50 shades of grey so XD, take a bow, sir. A job so well done!!
I do enjoy Notion quite a bit, the nested look of everything is so clean and you don't have to stop to select all of the features--you can use shortcuts as you go for just about every single font color, quotation, callout, toggle, etc. The only downside is the lack of support for handwriting, so I'm still split between OneNote and Notion. Trying to make them work together!
With your notes with the sub-headings and toggles, you can type /contents to add a contents list at the top of the page, and you can click various headings in the list to jump you to that point in the notes. Not sure if you knew about this, but it makes navigating bigger notes pages a lot quicker
The truly great thing about notion is that so many people have their own unique thing that makes notion the best thing for them. Because it can do so many things so well that you can pick your favorite tools and ignore the rest.
I like how no matter how fast he talks, he is ALWAYS accurate with his prononciation, I'm a native english speaker and I can understand him perfectly without the sibtitles, A great speaker he is!
I remember watching this video and it made me want to start to use Notion, though I soon abandoned it after because it was too hard. But a friend recommended it again, and I LOVED it this time round. Been using it for my last 2 semesters. I usually handwrite my lecture notes while listening to live lectures and then transfer them to my Notion. I found that the toggle, highlighting and coloring tools are really good for active recall, and love how fun it is to make my notes look pretty, it made note-taking less painful. I’m a CS student, but I mostly use this for my humanities, language and business electives. 😚 I’m not even lying when I say that I saw a great improvement in my grades after using this app! This app is a LIFESAVER. Thanks Ali for recommending it!
this video literally changed my perspective TOTALLY i already knew about the cornell mote taking system, the active recall and the curve of forgetting but i never actually used them + i never thought about the fact that i could apply them to my notion! thank you very much, this really helped
Hey for the retrospective revision time table you can color the dates like in your google sheets table! Mark the text and press ctrl+shift+h and then it colors. A context menu will pop up and you can even choose the background color so the whole cell colors red, yellow or green if you like
Hi Ali, not sure if you’ll read this, but I absolutely love the table where you had all the relations and essays showing up that’s related to the specific topics. I was wondering if you could upload a template version or make a tutorial video on how you did this? Thank you 😊
Don’t know if you’ll get to see this, but thank you so much for all the work you put in to these videos! I am a nursing student in the US and you motivate me to learn my material well and to study hard (with the sweet reminder to stay healthy and enjoy life at the end of this video)! I switched to Notion after finding your videos and when I showed it to a classmate, she lost her mind haha. I really appreciate your work, Ali! Looking forward to more content!
Where have you been all my life? I have ADHD and trying to retain new information in nursing school has been VERY HARD. Keep the tips coming. Please!!!!!
Found you on Matt`s inner circle. I'm not on uni anymore, but your content has helped me so much to regain focus and motivation with a really hard project at work. Thank you so much. :) Wish you the best!
I'm coming UK in 2021. I'm a med student from India. And this is just amazing and so inspiring to see. Thank you for putting yourself out and inspiring many of us.
Onenote has had that toggle feature for over a decade. You just have to tab over, then double click the grey arrow that shows up to the left of the main heading. This will make a + sign that hides the subheadings or bullets that are under this main heading. It is actually one of the main things that I use to quiz myself.
I got notion for free thanks to my new school email. I'm starting my first year of medical school in about a week after taking a one year gap so I'm scared I don't remember how to study anymore but watching your videos for the past week has helped a lot in figuring out how I want to study. Thanks a lot!
Pls do a video on how to write a first/high first level exam essay, I know you did a how to memorise essay plans for exams but I’d love to see how you actually structured those essay plans and the research/study process behind them
I love how the notification for this video came onto my screen while I was typing up my questions on notion. I've been using it for a few months now and this video was great help! But I noticed that as a first year med student, having to write the questions and all their answers is very time consuming and has me constantly worried that I could be spending the time I type the answers doing other things. So I have been trying out just typing the questions for subjects that have good books or lecture notes where I can just go back to the book if i cant remember an answer. I don't know how well that would work but I'm trying it out. always a pleasure to watch your videos man and thank you for the constant motivation.
Ali has another video (Active Recall Framework) talking about a method like this, where you just write questions without the answers and then look through your lecture notes if you forget an answer. Hopefully it works out for you.
I've seen this dude before a couple months ago, and I never watched his videos but I thought he looked snarky or arrogant. But dude this guy's recommendations for spaced repetition and active recall is something that I am really enjoying. School starts in a few weeks and I've already started to develop my notion and use the "Google sheets" method for planning for an exam. You're dope Ali.
Wow, I've been taking notes ineffectively my whole life. As a new grad student, this video is super duper helpful and puts me as ease. I was overwhelmed with how much information given in lectures and readings. This simplifies the process. Thank you for the quality, easy to understand content, Notion is the future!
I’m going back to school and when I went to college the first time, WiFi was new, social media was new, Google and RUclips were new, laptops were fairly new, iPods were new and iPhones hadn’t been invented yet, and I’m watching RUclips videos now to help me learn and study and people have videos about Khan Academy and Anki and Notion and they use iPads and it’s amazing. We didn’t have those resources and I would get distracted procrastinating partly because I was using a laptop on WiFi exploring Facebook, Google, Wikipedia, and RUclips as a new thing. Y’all have digital notecards and can look at PowerPoint slides as screenshots and write notes over them. You can submit papers without printing them and turning them in. Amazing.
It's funny.. I've just read the book "a mind for numbers" (which I would HIGHLY recommend to everyone if you're interested in gettinng more insight for learning methods), and shortly after, Ali and his videos just pops up as something to compliment it, which just means the world to me. I wish that I had contained this knowledge before hand, but I'm so happy that reading up on these methods, have not just made me feel more prepared, but also reduced my anxiety. The book itself has such a good structure, and is perfect to practice its own methods on. Learning has become not just less time consuming, but also more fun and rewarding. Having ADHD myself, I've always beat myself up because I thought I could not recall things I read and take notes off. But listen to the methods Ali suggest- they work really well on memory AND your understanding of a subject. It has been a game changer for me, and I just wanted to share my thoughts on this to tell others who struggles with Attentive disorders or something similar - There is hope for improvement - Nothing can stand in your way.
Thank you Ali for all the time and effort you put into these videos. I introduced my brother to your channel and we’ve been building out our notion databases together. Along with applying your study methods to help us progress in our careers. Thank you so much!
It's very commendable that he invested 24+ minutes to make us understand that how great the notion is, and it's actually is... The perfect mix of- Google docs, google calendar, google sheets, google keep, google todo and so much more
I mean when it comes to the app, I find it working so slooow on Android (and all my other apps move damn fast). With Evernote - no issue whatsoever. Great content overall, tho'!
Your passion for teaching others is such a gift - I think you could teach how to dig a hole and have people excited to dig that hole with you.... I was excited to pass this info onto my sister who is currently studying at Uni - thanks Ali 👍👍🤓
Been working a lot recently on transferring my notes to Notion and have seen a great improvement on my overall organization. Definitely beats having 6 different files in different places when studying for tests!
I'm going back to uni next month after 6 years not studying, these videos are giving me some brilliant ideas on how I can make the best out of my time there. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much! I have ADHD and I love the Cornell Note taking system, but I feel bad when I throw away my study books. I get Leuchturm notebooks. They work perfectly, but this seems like it will be super helpful. Thank you for sharing your talents, and what you have learned that helps you.
I work in IT and I have to spend around 10 hours a week studying to keep current (thankfully my company pays for my training portal!), I've re-thought my methodology to be more academic based and used a mix of notion & anky flash cards to learn concepts, theory and new techniques. Thanks for the tips Ali, much appreciated.
when I watch your video I give up evernote and move to Notion. It's amazing ...... As an Advocate of The Supreme Court of Bangladesh, I am putting all my case references in notin and it's working like a database of my all case references. It is like magic to me.. I can search for case references and make decisions more effectively.. Thanks a lot bro.....Notion is a game-changing apps ...
yeah just practice but make sure it's interleaved (mixing up questions). So have like a word problem question, and then switch up with some question where you have to do formulaic work. Most study guides batch problems into sections, which is less effective than interleaving.

It has a ton of incredible use cases. We've even started to embed all our meeting recordings directly in Notion for full transparency and as a single source of truth for the entire company! tldv for Zoom recordings (or Loom) work like a charm with the best app of the world
Also a medic recently discovered notion! Thank you for this really relevant and useful video 😊 Could you please provide a few templates of the main pages you use?
I am so grateful to find your Channel at 7th grade and not later on. My finals are soon so I just started brousing study tips and I found your videos and they are awesome! Definitely gonna use some of your tricks for the long run
Hey Ali how can apply active recall for chemistry and physics and I don’t understand your last video can you tell me techniques for these subjects and I want to top in my preboard please help me love 💓 from Pakistan 🇵🇰 love you 😍 very much
Hey Ali, great video. I agree that Notion is great for helping students understand content, but I have a question about memorizing. Using the toggle feature is essentially creating a notecard, and I know from previous videos that you have used ANKI for memorizing things. Can you comment on where you see ANKI fitting into this workflow? ANKI seems easier to use for programmed spaced repetition than using a revision table like what you showed in this video. Thanks!
I bet his students are the luckiest ones and I would want a teacher like him because he teaches and explains so well and I never feel like skipping even 5 seconds of the video
OMG I LOVE THIS VIDEO I am gonna switch to notion i just went through a whole year of uni taking notes on word doc!!! so disorganized.... this is so gonna help
Aliiii! My sister just showed me your channel and I gotta confess I LOVE YOU. I'm a med student and I've come to admire you! Your curiosity and discipline inspire me. Keep it up. Sending you love from Colombia
Hey Ali, how do you use Notion with Notability? I like to take notes handwritten on notability and GoodNotes, but I like the structure of Notion a lot. I know that you use a combo of these two, and I wanted to understand how you do so.
I never used notes. Since I bought my iPad last summer, I got notability and ffing love it. But before, and still write heaps in my notebooks. I am a writer. During revision going over the notes and recalling it, by asking these questions in your head and answering them before looking at it. But I can see how this might be a handy tool to revise first time, writing these questions and answers. Next time you revise again you can target the questions quicker instead of going through the notes/PowerPoint of the lecture. I just don’t get notion, so might really sit down to figure the program out.

I don't know how well that would work but I'm trying it out.
always a pleasure to watch your videos man and thank you for the constant motivation.
Ali has another video (Active Recall Framework) talking about a method like this, where you just write questions without the answers and then look through your lecture notes if you forget an answer. Hopefully it works out for you.
Hussain Memon thank you dude!
I've seen this dude before a couple months ago, and I never watched his videos but I thought he looked snarky or arrogant. But dude this guy's recommendations for spaced repetition and active recall is something that I am really enjoying. School starts in a few weeks and I've already started to develop my notion and use the "Google sheets" method for planning for an exam. You're dope Ali.
Wow, I've been taking notes ineffectively my whole life. As a new grad student, this video is super duper helpful and puts me as ease. I was overwhelmed with how much information given in lectures and readings. This simplifies the process. Thank you for the quality, easy to understand content, Notion is the future!
I've just downloaded Notion for the first time and this video is fantastic! I don't know why you're not at the top of the RUclips search page
I found this channel only a few days ago and I've watched every possible video.
Awesome. Why didn't i find it sooner ?
Does it help u? Like notion and active recall?
I'm very happy that i found your channel. This note taking app has been a game changer for me.
Am I the only one who noticed him taking notes of 50 shades of grey hahaha. Good video, great sense of humor.
I’m going back to school and when I went to college the first time, WiFi was new, social media was new, Google and RUclips were new, laptops were fairly new, iPods were new and iPhones hadn’t been invented yet, and I’m watching RUclips videos now to help me learn and study and people have videos about Khan Academy and Anki and Notion and they use iPads and it’s amazing. We didn’t have those resources and I would get distracted procrastinating partly because I was using a laptop on WiFi exploring Facebook, Google, Wikipedia, and RUclips as a new thing. Y’all have digital notecards and can look at PowerPoint slides as screenshots and write notes over them. You can submit papers without printing them and turning them in. Amazing.
I'M A FIRST YEAR MED STUDENT AND I WAS STRUGGLING IN NOTE TAKING THANK YOU
It's funny.. I've just read the book "a mind for numbers" (which I would HIGHLY recommend to everyone if you're interested in gettinng more insight for learning methods), and shortly after, Ali and his videos just pops up as something to compliment it, which just means the world to me. I wish that I had contained this knowledge before hand, but I'm so happy that reading up on these methods, have not just made me feel more prepared, but also reduced my anxiety. The book itself has such a good structure, and is perfect to practice its own methods on.
Learning has become not just less time consuming, but also more fun and rewarding. Having ADHD myself, I've always beat myself up because I thought I could not recall things I read and take notes off. But listen to the methods Ali suggest- they work really well on memory AND your understanding of a subject. It has been a game changer for me, and I just wanted to share my thoughts on this to tell others who struggles with Attentive disorders or something similar - There is hope for improvement - Nothing can stand in your way.
Thank you Ali for all the time and effort you put into these videos. I introduced my brother to your channel and we’ve been building out our notion databases together. Along with applying your study methods to help us progress in our careers. Thank you so much!
It's very commendable that he invested 24+ minutes to make us understand that how great the notion is, and it's actually is...
The perfect mix of- Google docs, google calendar, google sheets, google keep, google todo and so much more
I mean when it comes to the app, I find it working so slooow on Android (and all my other apps move damn fast).
With Evernote - no issue whatsoever.
Great content overall, tho'!
Your passion for teaching others is such a gift - I think you could teach how to dig a hole and have people excited to dig that hole with you.... I was excited to pass this info onto my sister who is currently studying at Uni - thanks Ali 👍👍🤓
Been working a lot recently on transferring my notes to Notion and have seen a great improvement on my overall organization. Definitely beats having 6 different files in different places when studying for tests!
i came every of your notion videos to understand how to use notion. thank you so much
Notion is now free ❤️!
I'm going back to uni next month after 6 years not studying, these videos are giving me some brilliant ideas on how I can make the best out of my time there. THANK YOU!
No joke, I laughed out loud when I saw Ron's description hahahah!
Downloaded notion, had no idea how to use it , googled it and this video popped up , I’m really considering it looks like it has a lot of potential
Can we actually see the notes you made from Fifty shades of grey? 👀
Ali there being dead serious taking notes on Fifty Shades made my life hahaha
Thank you, I'm a law student and now i use Notion for everything.
Thank you, man, for existing !! cheers
Thank you so much! I have ADHD and I love the Cornell Note taking system, but I feel bad when I throw away my study books. I get Leuchturm notebooks. They work perfectly, but this seems like it will be super helpful. Thank you for sharing your talents, and what you have learned that helps you.
Am I seeing Ali Abdaal in a different shirt!? This must be a dream...
I work in IT and I have to spend around 10 hours a week studying to keep current (thankfully my company pays for my training portal!), I've re-thought my methodology to be more academic based and used a mix of notion & anky flash cards to learn concepts, theory and new techniques. Thanks for the tips Ali, much appreciated.
More “Day in the Life” vlogs !!!!!
when I watch your video I give up evernote and move to Notion. It's amazing ...... As an Advocate of The Supreme Court of Bangladesh, I am putting all my case references in notin and it's working like a database of my all case references. It is like magic to me.. I can search for case references and make decisions more effectively.. Thanks a lot bro.....Notion is a game-changing apps ...
Hey Ali, could you give any tips on self-learning new content quickly in subjects such as math which require more practice?
Yeah, I second that
+
Practice. That’s the only way you can do. Using notion won’t really help. I guess you can just practice and practice and practice until you get it.
yeah just practice but make sure it's interleaved (mixing up questions). So have like a word problem question, and then switch up with some question where you have to do formulaic work. Most study guides batch problems into sections, which is less effective than interleaving.
did i just daydream about all the ways im going to be using notion for this upcoming term? yes, yes i very much did 🥰
How are you going to use it? ^^
I'm still unsure whether it's worth the time 😅
I will comment on it; every time: where is the keyboard review...
What keyboard it is?

Its out now!
It has a ton of incredible use cases. We've even started to embed all our meeting recordings directly in Notion for full transparency and as a single source of truth for the entire company! tldv for Zoom recordings (or Loom) work like a charm with the best app of the world
Drinking game: take a shot every time Ali says "toggle"
I drank so much I couldn’t count
It’s crazy how school doesn’t teach you how to learn. Thank god for Ali
Damn that keyboard is phenomenal.
I evolved your method on the Resonance Calendar that I call Key Takeaways.. .
I bless the day I met you on RUclips, you truly have changed me ever since🙏🙌
Also a medic recently discovered notion! Thank you for this really relevant and useful video 😊 Could you please provide a few templates of the main pages you use?
I am so grateful to find your Channel at 7th grade and not later on. My finals are soon so I just started brousing study tips and I found your videos and they are awesome! Definitely gonna use some of your tricks for the long run
Hey Ali how can apply active recall for chemistry and physics and I don’t understand your last video can you tell me techniques for these subjects and I want to top in my preboard please help me love 💓 from Pakistan 🇵🇰 love you 😍 very much
I am doing spaced repetition on Ali's videos. Repeatedly watching it to keep it in memory. You must be proud of me Ali
Hey Ali, great video. I agree that Notion is great for helping students understand content, but I have a question about memorizing. Using the toggle feature is essentially creating a notecard, and I know from previous videos that you have used ANKI for memorizing things. Can you comment on where you see ANKI fitting into this workflow? ANKI seems easier to use for programmed spaced repetition than using a revision table like what you showed in this video. Thanks!

I bet his students are the luckiest ones and I would want a teacher like him because he teaches and explains so well and I never feel like skipping even 5 seconds of the video
hey ali again requesting you to make video on desk tour, with the new keyboard. plzzz
OMG I LOVE THIS VIDEO I am gonna switch to notion i just went through a whole year of uni taking notes on word doc!!! so disorganized.... this is so gonna help
OH MY GD IM IN LOVE WITH RON’S COMMENT HAHAHAHAHA
Aliiii! My sister just showed me your channel and I gotta confess I LOVE YOU. I'm a med student and I've come to admire you! Your curiosity and discipline inspire me. Keep it up. Sending you love from Colombia
I purchased make it stick on your recommendation. It's certainly an eye opener and look forward to putting it in to practice.
I just had notion for my shopping list
But now that i know this
It will be my main in everything i need to write
Hey Ali, how do you use Notion with Notability? I like to take notes handwritten on notability and GoodNotes, but I like the structure of Notion a lot. I know that you use a combo of these two, and I wanted to understand how you do so.
TheLightParadox you can export notability as a pdf and put the pdf into notion
ruclips.net/video/E-7k4MXG1y0/видео.html
I never used notes. Since I bought my iPad last summer, I got notability and ffing love it. But before, and still write heaps in my notebooks. I am a writer. During revision going over the notes and recalling it, by asking these questions in your head and answering them before looking at it. But I can see how this might be a handy tool to revise first time, writing these questions and answers. Next time you revise again you can target the questions quicker instead of going through the notes/PowerPoint of the lecture. I just don’t get notion, so might really sit down to figure the program out.
I'm a little confused, when learning the content should we write it like Ali did for Cardiac or do we write it note form like he did for nerves?
you're so subtlety and effortlessly funny!! This video helped a lot on how to setup my notion without all the aesthetic aspects
I fear that once more people are hooked into using free Notion, they are going to charge us money for subscribing and that would be betrayal 😂
