Prysm Note for lecture notes
The problem with lecture notes is not writing them, it is that they are never revisited. Adding a review task at the end of each lecture is a small change that decides whether the notes have any value.
What matters here
- One note per lecture, dated and titled
- Questions marked during the session
- A review task before the next lecture
- Headings that match the syllabus
- Slides or readings linked, not copied
During the lecture
Write the structure, not every word. Mark anything you did not follow with a question mark, and keep going, because stopping to resolve it loses the next five minutes.
Right after
Ten minutes to fill the gaps and write the questions properly. The material is still fresh, and this is where most of the learning happens.
Before the next lecture
A short review task, twenty minutes, rereading the note and answering the marked questions. It is the step that turns a transcript into knowledge.
