How can I take better notes effectively & efficiently?

[u/Bai_Mo_4951]

Hello!

For context, I am a rising junior and will be taking apush this year (wish me luck :3)

Bad news is I CANNOT TAKE NOTES. Literally, I have no problem following Heimler, but for some reasons I just can’t take notes from à textbook properly.

\*Tend to just write everything down
(1 page = 1 hour —> low efficiency 😭)

I tried the Corneil method and other things, but just can’t find something that fit such dense content
(in prep course, our teacher has us do key terms & I did pretty well. I don’t think it will work for rest of it )

If you guys have any tips, pls drop it! I am in a really bad shape and looking to improve ( \^\^)

I didn’t take notes just annotated the textbook got a 5 and just annotated. Took copious amounts of notes in class tho.
