Cornell Note Taking Page Example

I spoke this weekend at the STEPUP Assistant Coaches Symposium and as I spoke about Scouting & Owning Your Game Plan I discussed the value of taking notes. I shared my way of taking notes that I got from Coach Don Meyer.

It's called the Cornell system. You divide your notebook page with a line one-third of the way from the left edge. You then take the notes on the available two-thirds. You use the one-third area for action items, questions, ideas, etc.

It works well for review. When reviewing you can easily find what needs to be acted upon.
