Yvonne_McQ | 5 years ago | on: What is the future of short-term travel?

My position is: it will be not a "post-COVID world". I believe that all kinds of travels will be slowly coming back but it will be totally another procedure, vibes, and safety issue.

Yvonne_McQ | 5 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to take notes?

There are 4 effective methods for taking notes:

1. The Cornell note-taking system

First, divide the page into three parts: one narrow column on the left side, one wide column on the right side, and one section at the bottom part of the page.

Write your notes in the right column of the page. That’s your note-taking column.

As soon as possible after the lecture is over, use the left column to create questions for every part of the notes. That’s your cue column.

When this task is completed, write a short summary in the bottom section of each page.

That’s it! Congratulations!

2. T-notes method

Just divide a page into 2 parts. One part is for writing down terms, equations, formulas and theories. The other part is for definitions, examples, evidence and proof.

3. Mind map method

Write down the main idea in the center of the page. Then draw “branches” every time you need to add a sub-topic or a detail to your scheme. At the end of the lecture you’ll have a detailed flow chart of the content you listened to.

4. Flow note-taking method

A flow-based note-taking method is the most effective way to take notes if you are a fast learner.

The principle of the flow note-taking technique is to represent the ideas you hear using textual and visual information recorded on the page.

The flow note-taking method includes a lot of tables, schemes, arrows, points, offshoots – anything that helps you to represent your “mental model.”

I would say to achieve financial freedom, it's necessary to control your finance. You should be responsible for all your spendings and maybe have some special notebook to write down the incomes and spendings to understand how much you could spend and for what. If you can't deal with your finance there is no matter how you are working freelance or at office.

There are some ways easily to find remote jobs: on LInkedIn: write "designer remote" in search line; on job search sites (indeed, monster, and every other site you find on google): every such site has filters and remote/freelance option there
