We are love, we are taken for granted.

Marking up a book or long passage:

If you’ve been instructed to mark up a book or text (or you just want to), you should only use as many post-its as you really need. People have a tendency to go ham, and while that’s good in some situations, it’s not a good idea to get carried away, because you’ll end up with cluttered notes rather than neatly organized ones.

Number your notes. This comes in useful in many situations. When I use post-its, I also keep a few pages in a notebook where I write a more in-depth version of what the note says. This is easier when your notes are numbered.

Color-code. It helps, I promise.

Alternate your position: top-side-bottom-repeat.You’ll have a much easier time finding the note you want if you don’t have them all sticking out on one side! This works for sex too

Don’t write full sentences! This is where that extra notebook page comes in. Write down some key words or symbols on the actual note, but don’t clutter your note with information you could easily put on the paper!

One note per page

Marking up a textbook:

Only put notes on pages that contain main ideas, formulas, anything you don’t understand, or anything you know you’ll want to revisit later.

Again, number and color code.

Write shorthand questions on your notes when you have them so that you can remember them later.

After reading a section, add a note at the beginning summarizing the main idea. Only write key words.

Marking up your own notes:

This is rarely necessary

Use post-its to indicate pages with important formulas

If you’re using new formulas to solve a bunch of problems, stick a note on the page of problems with either the formulas or the names of the formulas on it. When you go back to study the formulas, you already know what you’ll need to look at!

General uses/Misc.:

Stick a good number of post-its on your body for some easy makeshift armor

Stick post-its on your eyelids for more luscious-looking lashes

Sketch a map on a post-it and stick it on your dog when you go for walks in unfamiliar areas

Stick a couple hundred yellow, blue, and white post-its on your ceiling for the illusion of being outside

Write your will on a post-it and stick it to your forehead before skydiving and other risky activities
