Paraphrasing the wise words of Louis Theroux<\/a> for academic purposes, we\u2019ve got an important question to ask: Want to make study notes that don\u2019t jiggle jiggle or fold?<\/p>\n

Continue reading because we\u2019d love to see you colour code, for sure.<\/p>\n

Colour coding is one of the simplest techniques available to help you get the most out of studying by organising your notes correctly, and if you didn\u2019t know, you can use Kortext to colour code to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

Why should I colour code my notes and highlighting?<\/h3>\n

If your study notes aren\u2019t structured, they\u2019ll be difficult to remember and read back. By organising your notes by colour, you can categorise the information you\u2019ve learnt, helping you to review your most important ideas when you need them most.<\/p>\n

Although colour coding your notes looks pretty good, there\u2019s some science behind it too.<\/p>\n

A study<\/a> published in 2019 found that colour has the power to improve memory. The study also revealed that colours that are warmer, such as red, orange and yellow \u2018can create a learning environment that is positive and motivating that can help learners not only to have a positive perception toward the content but also to engage and interact more with the learning materials.\u2019<\/p>\n

Cooler colours, think greens and blues, also have memory power and should be used to indicate the knowledge and topics that you\u2019re comfortable with, as they \u2018produce comfort and relaxation that facilitate memory storage\u2019.<\/p>\n

How should I organise my highlighting?<\/h3>\n
