How I Take Great Notes as a Philosophy PhD

In this video, I'll be showing you how you can use just a few notecards and a pencil to create an effective and engaging way to take notes. This is a note-taking video for people who want to read great books, remember what they read, and formulate their own great ideas. This method is not wholly original to me — many other people have stumbled upon a similar ways of taking notes. But I think this speaks to the power of the system. Many have found that this is a great way to take book notes, especially if you are planning on writing a paper or producing some other form of content. This system is perfect for those who prefer the feel of pen and paper to a digital note-taking app. But as I discuss in the video, you can incorporate a digital tool into the final step of the process. It’s not quite Zettelkasten or a second brain — but it is what has worked for me. By the end of this video, you'll have all the tools you need to get started with your own minimalist, simple, and analog note-taking system. So let's get started. → Chapters Beginning 00:00 Tools You Need 00:47 Annotate 01:09 Export 02:37 Organize 04:18 When to Use a Digital Tool 08:53 The Downside 09:30 → Video Gear Mic: https://amzn.to/3Uw7ZVw Recorder: https://amzn.to/3Tz1uQp Camera: https://amzn.to/3Ust3MT Lens: https://amzn.to/3WXbAhd These are affiliate links with Amazon.
