All language subtitles for 05. How to take notes - (how I do it) Introduction

Note taking has been the single most important step for me in my learning

process to retain as much information as possible, whatever it is in life,

whether it's video editing, finance, or handstands,

the process of writing down the information that I'm consuming is incredibly

important for me to actually understand the information in my head.

So if you're taking this seriously,

then I would highly recommend that you take notes on everything that you're

learning,

and then that way you can also very quickly go back to those notes at any time

if you need to. So this is my notes taking process.

So it's pretty simple.

What I like to do is fill the left hand of my screen with a Google Doc and the

right hand with the lessons that I'm gonna be learning.

Now I wanna share this one cool little plugin that I have on my computer.

It's called Cinch. I'm gonna link it down below.

This is not sponsored in any way.

This is just something that I use and I like it because it allows me to just

drag my windows to the left side of the screen and then all of a sudden I'll get

this ghosted rectangle here. And if I let go,

it's going to fill the left side of the screen.

Same thing with the right side over here.

It's just a great way for me to be able to see two things at once. Now,

when I'm at home and not traveling, I like to have, you know, the text document,

fill an entire monitor, and then the lesson fill another monitor next to it.

At home I usually have three monitors, so that's usually nice,

but when it's just my laptop, I'll do it like this. Now,

the way that I would go about making notes for the Da Vinci course is to make a

new title for each tab or section of the course, um,

including project management. So, um, starting the first one,

probably with project management going into, um,

the media tab, cut tab,

Edit tab, and so on. And below each one of these titles,

you just want to list out your notes from start to finish. Now,

one thing I'd personally like to do is before I write my next note,

I wanna make sure that I fully understand the note that I had just written down.

This is just a good way to verify that you're actually understanding the

knowledge.

I like to have a full understanding of the topic that we're learning about first

before I move on to the next one. But of course,

it's okay to skip ahead sometimes.

But my recommendation to you is to go through the entire course from start to

finish.

And if there are certain lessons that you feel you're already knowledgeable on,

feel free to watch those at two x speed.

But I don't recommend skipping anything. So that's pretty much it.

This is my notes taking process. Uh, fun fact,

the Google Doc that I created to write down all of my notes for the filming of

this course is actually over a hundred pages long.

So I definitely went in on the note taking and it's helped me a lot, honestly.

And I feel like I can now call myself, uh,

an experienced Da Vinci editor because I took the time to write notes for

everything, and it's helped me retain a lot of this information.

Hope you guys enjoyed this video. I'll see you in the next one.
