Planning with Jessica: lecture summary

Hi, everyone! It’s Jessica again. Recently, I enrolled in psychology courses and am currently diligently studying the theoretical part.

I keep all my notes on my iPad, and I’m using the Plany app, which features exclusive content: planners, stickers, trackers, and covers, along with our website that offers free content.

Today, I want to share one of my notes with you – a lecture on the topic of “Temperament.” I immediately write down the topic and the main definition.

I like to highlight key points in bright colors. It helps me better navigate the text.

Next, let’s look at the classifications of temperament. I’ll jot down three main classifications with brief information about each. I’ll elaborate a bit more on Pavlov’s typology.

Just to clarify why I used two text colors: I think it also affects the structure and perception. Information written in a lighter color is supplementary, providing additional details that elaborate on the main information. You can also use this technique in your notes.

As my first page is coming to an end, I’m moving on to the next one. Here, I write about the manifestations of temperament.

Moving on – Biological Basis. You may notice that I wrote the previous point with a title, while this one is simply marked with a bullet. I wanted to show you different formatting options for such inserts. Besides these two options, you can also highlight text using borders, or if the text is a definition of a term, you can write the term in a different color or just underline it.

Now, let’s format the list of key characteristics of temperament. This can be done as a bulleted or numbered list. You can present the information as a cluster or even a table if that format works for you.

The conclusion is marked in pink, just like the lecture topic on the first page.

Color-coding in notes is very important. You can choose a few main colors and specify what each one is used for. For example, pink for topics and definitions, blue for subtopics and other text blocks, yellow for clarifications and lists.

At first, it might be a bit challenging to format notes this way, but over time you’ll get used to the highlights, and it will be easier for you to navigate through large volumes of text.

That’s it! We have two great pages. It seems that while I was writing this note, I already memorized all the necessary information and prepared for a small test on this topic.

I think I’ll read a bit more additional information and write it down here to be completely confident in my knowledge.

Thank you for reading!

See you!
Your Jessica
