How To Take Good Notes

We've all been there — a test or essay deadline approaches, and you scramble to gather notes using what you think is the “best” or “most efficient” note-taking method. But what is that method? Allow me to let you in on a very important secret: there is no “best” note-taking technique! Note-taking is all about how your own unique brain processes information. Here are a few note-taking techniques Oak Meadow high school teachers recommend. Try them out, pass them on to a friend, or see what new techniques they help you think up on your own.

20 Mindfulness Art Activities Sure, we all want to create that perfect piece of art. But the value of art is so much more than the final product. This winter, we encourage you to slow down and create without rushing to judgement. Your body and mind will let the creativity flow through you, and no matter what the finished piece looks like, you'll come away more mindful, relaxed, and with your inner creativity awakened.
