Lesson Notes?

[Windgreen]

If you feel like this could be helpful for you, I’d say to give it a try.

I like the feeling of writing things down , I’m
a stationery enthusiast , and I also think it helps me retain lessons much better . This is how I do it:

For now, I’ve been writing down radicals, kanji and vocab, along with reading, meaning and part of speech. I do this only once, during lessons (on English to Japanese reviews with KaniWani and Torii, I use a cheap square grid notebook to write down the answer before typing, or if I’m in a hurry I just “draw” the kanji in the air). I use the date and the resource (WaniKani, KaniWani, Torii) to separate items, and there’s also a color code on the side of the page (to indicate if the page has radicals, kanji, and/or vocab), but other than that, it’s just a running list.

This process does not require endless, boring repetition, writing down the same kanji over and over again. And doesn’t take a long time either.

But the main thing is checking if taking notes would be helpful/pleasant/motivating for you, considering your own preferences and circumstances. “Different strokes for different folks”, after all.
