Nice idea. In computer science we call this a quadtree. We use it to partition large data so we can parallelize data processing more efficiently. The problem with it for note taking is that it is not very space efficient as others have pointed out. You can more efficiently do this with a mindmap which u introduced in your opening. Also during a lecture u can’t always partition things neatly until u have heard enough. And in some cases categorizations exceed 4. I would use a mindmap tool or something like sage3.
This video just not only gave me the best advise on how to Summarizing the topics for review and revision but also eliminated the need for mind maps by taking in its essence. Now , one page will give an overview on all the topics and upon complementing it with studying in layers. It becomes a fully functional weapon.
When I unexpectedly saw the notification of this video, I thought I 've known this task and technique from your book but l realize that it beats me,so i decided to watch this full video Thanks Jim to always share your thoughts and your helpful solutions❤❤❤
WOW, i'M HOOKED ON TAKING NOTES THIS WAY. I am applying this concept to every area and aspect of my life. Thanks Jim you are a Super Hero Trainer for real.
We need a piece of software that allows us to drill down while making notes this way, because using paper… I can see a lot of headaches as the writing gets smaller and smaller…
I'm I wrong or this quadrant technic is a way to organized notes after taking them, instead of a technic to take note directly in that way? Or it can also depend of the context notes are taken. Taking notes to write a book is not the same as taking notes in a lecture at university. In any ways, I find the video really helpful.
