non-linear note-taking

Non-linear note-taking is a method that allows information to be recorded in a flexible, interconnected way, rather than in a strict, sequential order. Instead of writing notes from start to finish, you create a web of ideas, concepts, and details, often using diagrams, keywords, or clusters. This approach helps you see relationships between different topics and encourages active engagement with the material. It's especially useful for brainstorming, studying complex subjects, or capturing insights that don't fit neatly into linear formats, making your understanding more dynamic and adaptable.
