Taking Notes on an iPad

How I Take Notes on an iPad


My reasons for taking notes on an iPad are so I have less to carry in my backpack, have access to them at all times, producing less waste by not using a notebook, and because I have an iPad so why not find a way to use it for school. 



What App Do I Use

A few years ago I purchased the GoodNotes app. It does cost $7.99. I have found the app to be worth that price. Compare that price to what it would cost to buy notebooks for each class and it is a very good deal. One feature that GoodNotes has added since I first purchased it is the ability to connect the app to your Google Drive. From the app you can set it up to automatically upload your notes to your Google Account.In GoodNotes you can create different folders. Within the folders you can have all the notebooks your created for that class and any pdfs or documents that you have downloaded. You can download documents from your internet browser directly to GoodNotes. Then you can highlight and write on the document, which can also be stored in the class folders.


Stylus

When it comes to what I use to write my notes I use a stylus. On my iPad case I have a pen holder, which is where I store the pen at all times. I use and love the Pilot G2 Pen and PILOT G2 Pen Stylus have been my favorite gel pen for a number of years now, so I was so excited to learn that they sold the same pen with a stylus on the end. Another option for a stylus is the Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack. Of all the different styluses that I have tried over the years this is the most precise one that I have found. I also find it handy to have a pen and stylus combo incase I need to write down something I can either do it on paper or on my iPad.

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule

Reasonable Dorm Room Cleaning Schedule After my first semester of college I have developed a cleaning routine that I have been able to keep up with. You can read my previous blog post about What I Learned In My First Semester of College . Over the past few months I have experimented and I am confident in the routine that I have created.  Personalize When it comes to personalizing the schedule you could add or take out the different chores. For example I also wash my retainers weekly and monthly my roommate and I decorate the marker board on the outside of our door. We also only clean our mirrors when needed since we have found that they do not seem to become too dirty regularly. Something that I would make sure you sanitize every week would be the surfaces that you are constantly touching. That means light switches, door handles, and your desk. By doing this I managed to avoid getting sick when my roommate and other floor mates go sick. Another task that you could add to y

Bullet Journal Fitness and Workout Spread Ideas

If you want to purchase some of these spreads you can buy the digital bundle from my Etsy shop: Simply Paperless .  I had created six different bullet journal fitness and workout trackers/spreads. These spreads were made in my digital bullet journal using the GoodNotes App.   I highly recommend to use a stylus when using GoodNotes as a digital bullet journal. For this project I used the Adonit Dash 3 Stylus , which I highly recommend. I also recommend the Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack  from Amazon. Daily Workout Plan This first spread can be used to plan out what exercises you plan to workout each day of the week. I would recommend this spread for those who are just starting to workout. I did not created the workout that is used as the example for the content of this spread. The workout is from Pintrest Workout Plan .  Workout Tracker This next tracker is in the format of a monthly calendar. In order to track the different workouts accomplished throughout

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus Book Review

Reasons For Reading This Book: Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus was Jackie's choice for the month of October. Jackie is the host of The Readheads Podcast Book Club. This is a monthly podcast book club that I have been apart of since it was established in 2020. I love getting to hear the thoughts of the hosts each month.  Content of the Book: Elizabeth Zott is a chemist but is much more than meets the eye. She is not only beautiful but also extremely smart, confident, strong, and not afraid to beat to her own drum. Elizabeth is one of the only female chemists working at Hastings Research Institute. She is viewed as different by everyone there. It's there that she meet Nobel-Prize nominated chemist Calvin Evans. Calvin who falls in love with Elizabeth is described as a loner, grudge holder, and extremely brilliant. Fast forward a few years and Elizabeth is now a single-mother working as the host of the most watched cooking show, Supper at Six . With Elizabeth's ways of
