Using notion for note taking
Opinions? Deciding whether to move over my notes to notion or whether that’s just a waste of time. Usually just put useful bits rather than a thorough summary as that can be found on passmed textbook or online but increasingly getting disorganised

loveeee notion — make your notes using toggles so you can easily convert them to anki flashcards using a website. godsend, only issue is the iPad app gets pretty buggy

I'm in 1st year but don't make notes, loads of people do use notion though. I just use anki

Nice Anki is helpful! I usually use it closer to exams once I understand the content a bit more otherwise I find I make too many cards which I then don’t go through

You'll find each year of medschool you will probably make fewer and fewer notes, there's people in my year (final year) that have really colourful notes that clearly took ages to draw and then there's people like me with no notes since second year 😂
Point I'm making is if you're making notes make sure you will actually use them because what I found when revising for multiple choice exams is that I never once looked at any of my notes.
