You might remember from last week’s video that it’s Nail a New Skill February. If you’re still looking for which skill you should focus on this month, I’ve got an idea for you!Whether you’re a student, parent, educator, or academic business builder, there’s a good chance you have to take notes in your life. And, there’s a good chance there’s a tiny piece of your note taking you could do better.

This piece can reduce test-taking anxiety by helping you feel more confident and competent, improve your grades, and help you understand the information you’re learning on a deeper level. And if you’re not being tested on the things you’re taking notes on, it can still help you put your notes into a form where the information is more easily useable and remembered.

Wanna’ know more? Watch today’s video–it’s only 4 minutes and 35 seconds–and I’ll show you actual examples of what I’m talking about.

Watch it here:

Pretty cool, right? And there are so many ways to hone your notes! It’s a great way to bring your creativity (and maybe even some fun!) to your learning, and it will pay off in a big way.

I’d love to see your Hone It Notes! Feel free to send them to me or send me any questions you have about how to create them.
