So many things to do with so little time. Or maybe it just seems that way because we\u2019re accustomed to our daily to-do lists, and the sticky notes on our work desk to remind us to buy apples for the kid\u2019s lunches, pick up the dry cleaning after work, and the presentation that we need to finalize before Thursday\u2019s meeting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Truth be told, a cluttered desk indicates a cluttered mind. What to do with all of your information? I can only recommend using note apps for both your personal and professional life. A few perks of using note apps as opposed to paper notebooks are that they are useful for taking notes on the go, are environmentally friendly, and bundle all of your information in a central location.<\/span><\/p>\n Don\u2019t get me wrong, notebooks and bullet journals are as effective as ever if that\u2019s your personal preference. But in the digital age, why not go digital? Hyperlinks, copy & paste, and file sharing are actions your favourite fountain pen simply cannot replicate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve compiled a list of our top 10 note apps to help you find a note app suited to your needs and workflow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Note-taking is the practice of recording information from different sources. What each note looks like and what notes are written down, stored, and organized are dependent on the user\u2019s interests and requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For example, <\/span>notes taken when writing academic papers<\/span><\/a> differ from what most people quickly jot down on a sticky note or calendar. Nevertheless, whether you are writing down information from a webinar, a reminder to water the houseplants, or a daily to-do list, note-taking is the process of obtaining and compiling information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n There is no singular method or technique for taking notes. Although the format may be restricted due to the material or tool you use, whether a digital app or classic pen and paper, you have the freedom to choose form and function. In general, notes can be in one of three forms: summary, paraphrase, or direct quotation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Generally, the more information we consume, the more knowledge we have, right? Well, we may learn more information, but do we remember it?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Educator Edgar Dale developed the Cone of Experience, a model associating learning activities with learning outcomes. The <\/span>Cone of Experience<\/span><\/a> compares the learning experience (whether by doing, hearing, reading, or observing) with the memory retention of an individual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n According to Dale, a person remembers 10% of what they read, 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see, 50% of what they see and hear, 70% of what they say and write, and 90% of what they do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
