I saw that you use a tablet, a desktop, and paper notes. How do you conciliate those notes?

Is there a mechanism of making primary notes on one resource and then passing those notes to other while reviewing them?

hi! thanks so much for asking! here are my favorite methods for sharing notes between devices :). i personally have apple devices so i can fairly easily airdrop and sync things between devices, but i also frequently work at the library desktop computers where i can't do that! so here's my tips and tricks for sharing notes between devices

for context: i've been mostly doing digital notetaking recently, but i also like to scan my paper notes as well!

i'm going to be dividing this post into 2 methods! (there will be some overlap). syncing already written notes and syncing notes (in progress) between devices

for already written notes:

the first step i would take is export your notes as a pdf or any other file type. if they're handwritten try going into your notes app (for ios) or downloading a pdf scanner app for your phone! if your notes are digital check the sharing options in your app to see if there's anything about "exporting".

personally, i like to use either discord or notion. i have created a discord server with only myself that i use just for sharing links/files/anything between devices! i like discord because there's apps for pc, mac, tablets, and phones; and even a web app! discord is really nice and fast, and you can make different channels (as pictured below) for organization. as long as your file size isn't too big, you should be fine.

my second app i like to use is notion! notion is such a beast in itself, but i like to use it to upload files and images and links! below are two ways i have used it: to upload pdfs/files, and to upload goodnotes (my notetaking app) links to the pages i'm writing on! similar to discord, notion has apps for all devices, but it also works great just by itself on the website (no app required)! it's really great to access it from all my devices.

another way you could share your notes on different devices is through the cloud! (yes, discord and notion are both through the cloud). google drive, microsoft onedrive, icloud storage, etc. are great tools that you can use to upload files and see on multiple devices. i personally like discord and notion more, just because they're already apps i frequently use, but if you can't get either one cloud-based storage platforms are also a great idea! they definitely have more security than discord or notion, because your files may be at risk of being deleted!

for the purposes of sharing notes to reference on another device when writing an essay, or something of similar vain, i really love discord and/or notion and they both work great!

for syncing notes in real time:

pretty similar to the last one, i would say notion or google docs (or microsoft word on the web i believe has similar functionality, or onenote, anything similar!)

if you want to be writing notes on one device and have them sync up quickly on another - i think any word processing software is the best bet for you.

both notion and google docs you can access them on any device, and/or on their websites too!

google docs is a lot more straightforward, but since notion is so powerful it provides a lot of flexibility for your notes! here's an (old) example of notes i've taken on notion. (i personally really like how easy it is to make columns!)

i hope this helped a little bit! please let me know if you have any more questions :)

also! notetaking is very much an individual thing, if something works for me and doesn't work for you - that's okay! we're all learning and just have to figure out what's best for ourselves.

Hi! I’m Laika (لايكا). I’m a nineteen-year-old undergrad psychology student.

I’m in the second semester of my first year, and I hope to graduate a year early. I plan on doing a master’s in counseling and becoming a clinical mental health therapist.

I studied French throughout high school, and now I am learning Arabic in college!

This blog will serve as a place to document my studies, languages, and more! I hope you’ll stick around. <3

An ode to my favorite blogs:

google docs + notion + dual monitors = chef's kiss

i love going to the library for the sole purpose of using the double monitors, it makes me feel so much more productive. (especially for essay writing! omg lifesaver)

Hii soo I’m writing a script and also wanna be a film student soo i was wondering what are your tips for the Lay-out of a script And what to do when procrastinating???

heyy!!

what makes screenplay formatting the easiest for me is finding a program that works for me and sticking with it. you can google how to format screenplays/scripts, and there's plenty of stuff. also! don't be afraid to use google! i'm still learning, so i often use google to look up how to format texts, or flashbacks, or whatever my current project needs.

under the cut i'll put what websites/programs i use, and my tips for procrastinating/my writing "process" <3

so i personally use the google doc extension "screenplay formatter"! (it's a google doc addon, you can get it by going to a google document, then going to the addons tab in the top left, then going to get addons, then searching screenplay formatter) i personally really enjoy it and find it really easy to format because it gives you buttons for character dialogue, parantheticals, slug lines, etc. unfortunately after july 2022, the extension may not be supported!! i'm super sad about it but i'll find alternatives when the time comes lol.

i know some other people that use the website "studiobinder"! one thing with that is you can only have one open 'project' at a time, so what my friends do is they save their script as a PDF when they're done and just reuse the document if that makes sense.

to be honest, i struggle with procrastination a LOT too. so don't stress too much? if you have a hard deadline to meet, schedule your time so you can write so many scenes a day or however.

but if you don't have a hard deadline? maybe set personal deadlines!! you can try this by saying "okay so monday afternoon i want to crank out two scenes, and then i'll do that everyday for a week".

things that help me when screenwriting, especially because i'm not a huge "writer" and i get burnt out SUPER quick, is doing it in chunks. i try to take it easy, and not cram because then i'll get lazy and the quality of my writing will go down!

tl;dr: find a screenplay writing/formatting program that works for you and stick with it. chunk out your screenwriting and make goals/deadlines for yourself!

i hope this helped & good luck!! thank you for the ask <3
