Another great video. I think your conclusion about notes being a written commentary on our understanding and thoughts on the material is very good. I often think about writing essays this way, but I've never thought about taking notes like that.
12:20 oh god that is so true! When I started making more personalised notes I was a bit taken aback when my friends would say they cannot understand them at all and I thought it meant that my notes were bad but after a long time of switching between different styles I've realised that my notes are for my own brain and only I know why that point or quote is there and which argument it solidifies. So I really recommend everyone to build their own structure and process of notetaking.
There is not an insignificant irony to watching this video XD having someone tell you how to think for yourself or rather note taking for yourself. Another good vid, keep up on the excellent vids
Just found you man, I enjoy your content, and I love the fact that you aim for one takes rather than heavily edited, perfectionist videos. With the rise of AI, raw content like this is going to be the best way to set good creators apart.
its quite difficult to find some high quality youtube channels nowadays a bunch are talking trendy things or shallow content. hopefully you and a dozen of others exists, youre not allowed to stop on youtube congrats from Brazil
This is now one of my favorite videos ever. I had already started to shift my notetaking academically and in the books I read for leisure from summaries to how that affects into my life, but this video gives structure to all these ideas that seemed disconnected in the first place. Thanks for this video and happy holidays!
this is actually where I think I have more to offer than get. I have been addicted to studying how to do note taking right. I have finished the second brain, how to take smart note, tons of youtube videos, and I realized for different purpose you just do different notes. I totally agree with how to take more of a digestion/reading note here in this video, but people do a lot of different things with notes. I just feel there are three or four big genres in taking notes: todo, emotional relieve, creation, and digestion. For todo, I will always put onto my digital calendars. For emotional relieve, because I am not a writer I'd write down and let it go, for me it's a really good way to calm down and mediate. For creation/inspiration note, I do a lot more drawing, a lot of charts and arrows to track how I get to certain point. Finally, for digestion, I will definitely do it in digital because my profession requires me going back to my notes all the time and I use nested tags and markdown for quick search across different platforms.
As you have a degree, you should visit the secret archive of the Vatican city. I encourage you to go there I think you'll find many things unknown. Love this video by the way
What i figure is from this if i have to start journal i should not wait for to be perfect.writing everyday will make it clear day by day what's important.
All modern AI does is perform "search". That is the sole thing AI is good for and it has absolutely 0 potential for anything resembling thinking. If we believe it somehow "thinks", it is only an epiphenomenon, the ghost in the machine. No one really know how these stacks of models really work as backprop through hundreds of levels becomes incomprehensible. These models end up being made into sparse versions cheap enough for inference. The energy required to train them is mind-boggling. Nonetheless, a good tool. Knowing how to think critically can help you pose the best questions. It is especially good at helping with mundane programming tasks. Wouldn't trust its writing, though. I love when students try to use it to plagiarize papers. Even without detection tools I can always catch a paper written by AI. Generally, it reads like an article pieced together and lacking any coherent thought, masked in robotic and pedantic cadence. Being a decade older than you, I probably take even fewer notes now. One might consult Plato's Phaedrus to muse on whether one ought to write in the first place...
@Robin Waldun can you or anyone else please recommend me some books for learning maths? I was recommended to start learning this science because it develops a lot the left hemisphere. All I find is books for high school or colleges, but I want more than that, and also something with a little history of it, in order to get a better understanding of the context it was discovered.
It’s fine to use AI note taking as a tool, but not your sole note taking method. Nothing beats handwritten notes. You can supplement it with the AI especially for recorded lectures where you may have missed something, but only using AI for your notes is foolish.
Note taking is a process of downloading your own thoughts on the paper not downloading what's on one page to another page. This got me.

My videos are all strange loops. 🤣

Yours is the first channel subscription I have actually turned on all notifications for. Thank you for this channel.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: I've the best subscribers on this planet. :)
man, for the first time a note taking video really helped me

Thank you for making this video. It’s one of those paradigm shift videos for me. I didn’t realize I was just transcribing when I took notes.
Genius level info here. Looking forward to more!
These practical videos are a huge help, thanks for making this.
Thank you for the reminder Robin. I will definitely be revisiting this video timely to not get drifted away by what note-taking is not supposed to be.

Thank you Robin! Me as a hobby reader enjoys watching videos like these :D. Heartu goes out to you
binge watching your videos as i get ready to start my masters study 💪 let’s get this bread.
Another great video. You and Eric Dubay are great thinkers!
I absolutely loved the perspective you shared. Its so insightful and thought-provoking. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I wish I could like this video over and over!
Best sponsor! I love this kind of ad
Thank you! Are you planning to order The Book, by the way? :)
Thanks for the knowledge! Hi from Colombia 🇨🇴
thanks, it's a good perspective for notetaking.
Thank you
Thank you!
Great video Robin !
Interesting, I was just considering this same concept earlier today. It's a sign

Thank me by the thumb up
Thanks for this…….its a eureka moment for myself.

I liked this book, I put on my list. But in my country the price is over 1k

What do you use to edit

but what about say a biomedical book?
I like the hoody
Record thoughts or paraphrase; don't transcribe.
