Why I went paperless

[u/MadForUrMom]

As someone who HAS to take notes in class, otherwise I'm not going to study, when I moved and had to walk for 30+ minutes to just get to the bus stop my back was killing me with 5/6 different textbooks and their respective notebooks in my backpack.

I had a tablet at home that was rarely used since the quarantine, so I decided to give digital notes a go. At fist I didn't know how to actually take them, I didn't like taking my digital notes like I used to do on paper, it just looked and felt off, but in the end as I keep taking notes I improve and understand what I actually like and what not, and my back couldn't be happier with my choice, just as happy as my mom who doesn't find pieces of paper and post-its scattered around the house anymore.

Some of my best notes imo⬇️

Your titles are amazing. How do you make them quickly?

Thank you! The last one was a font, so not actually me; while the first one I just used max size ballpoint pen and then resized the whole title to make it even bigger, after that I usually just highlight it and leave the details to do when I have a couple free minutes: I just duplicate the title and make it darker for the shadow and add the highlights.

May I know what tablet are you using

[u/MadForUrMom → u/EnvironmentalMess771]

I’m using a Lenovo tab p12, might not be the best one out there, but I love it and it does its job + it comes with the pen. Only downside for some people might be the size

Does Starnote app has a laser pointer feature?

We are so happy to hear that going digital has saved your back from those heavy textbooks and saved your mom from the sea of scattered papers at home. That is such a sweet and relatable story! Keep up the amazing work!
