5 Icons to Use When Taking Notes (WFMW)
.
I take a lot of notes between seminary classes and church. I have developed a few shorthand icons that you might like to use.
I draw the following pictures in the margin of my notes. . . .
- Outline a book – I use this anytime a book is mentioned. I also write the name of the book and underline the name.
- Smiley face – I use this whenever a person’s name is mentioned.
- Lightbulb – I use this whenever I want to think more about a certain concept.
- Tear drop – I use this whenever I am emotionally moved and need to come back to think about why.
- Hand outline – I use this to denote a prayer item.
Do you have any shorthand icons that you use? Please share.

Edited to add: AI - This means Action Item. Whenever I think of something I need to do, I write the something on the top of the page with AI next to it. The AI might or might not relate to the class.

I haven’t had anything that required note-taking in a while, but this is a neat system. I mostly used to color code, but that required all the pen switching ….

I just copied & pasted this to a word document to put in my binder for the Study of Mark on Wednesdays.
This would be great in the Women’s Retreat Handbook you hand out every year.
