The five phases of FNT are the following: 1- Take the Notes, 2- Process the Notes, 3- Connect Thinking, 4- Summarize & Reflect, and 5- Apply Learning. AVID Elective Students will learn the different styles of note taking and how to engage with their notes in order to retain the information in their long term memory.

10–2–2 MODEL

In this model, students take notes for 10 minutes. They then spend 2 minutes collaboratively processing notes (if they do not have access to a learning partner, this can still be done individually).

Cornell Notes/Focused Notetaking is the preferred method of notetaking for AVID students.

Cornell notes are a weekly part of the AVID classroom; instruction is provided on their use (e.g., Focused Note-Taking System). AVID students take and use Cornell notes as part of the AVID Elective class and use them weekly in classes other than AVID.

If you want your notes to be concise and brief, use abbreviations and symbols. Write in bullets and phrases instead of complete sentences. This will help your mind and hand to stay fresh during class and will help you access things easier and quicker after class. It will also help you focus on the main concepts.

Based on an easy-to-remember mnemonic, The Cornell Method uses five main points: record, reduce, recite, reflect and review. The five steps have the same initial letter R. That's why it's called the 5 Rs of note-taking.

It is a law of life. The law is that there are only 168 hours in a week, and you need to use them wisely if you want to truly live your ideal life. For me, vacation means an extra 50-60 hours to my week to live my ideal life, even if for only a couple days.

For example, the Rule of 72 states that $1 invested at an annual fixed interest rate of 10% would take 7.2 years ((72 ÷ 10) = 7.2) to grow to $2. In reality, a 10% investment will take 7.3 years to double (1.10^7.3 = 2). The Rule of 72 is reasonably accurate for low rates of return.

What is the 2-2-2 rule in marriage? ›

So what is it? The 2-2-2 Rule involves going on a date night every two weeks, spending a weekend away every two months and taking a week-long vacation away every two years. The idea behind it is that prioritizing and planning to spend time together strengthens your relationship.
