I really want my notes to be neat and presentable. I take down notes while professor is discussing, then I rewrite it at home. I dont use just one collor of pen. I usually use g-tech black, orange (monami) and violet (monami). I actually have the whole set of monami pens (all the colors). Then I also use highlighters of different colors. my notes are really colorful. how bout you? How do you write on your notebook? do use just one type of pen?

I also preferred the colourful note in my early ages in the colleges but it stop that beacuse due to the lack of time .But when I get the chance to make the notes then I prefer to make the colour ful notess

Well, I really am a very fast writer and when my college professors discuss, I tend to write so fast that there are times I can't even read my handwriting. However, when I was in elementary to high school, I can still remember how I organized my notes. I was writing a little bit slower back then and I use 3 colors. Black, Blue and Red. I mainly use black. I use it for paragraphs, definitions, and side/foot notes. I use red for subjects and topic headers. It is how I usually look for a certain topic. It's way easier than just having my notes in one color. I use blue, on the other hand, for enumerated entries. Well, basically, it's much easier to look for information if I organize it that way. But now, I think I've lost my touch. ahahaha.

From elementary to college, I use different colored pens. i ALWAYS have to have red, black and blue. Occasionally I'd have green also. The title for the days topic has to be in red.the body in black and sub notes in blue. When I see my notes form before I kinda laugh coz it is really colorful.I also still have this habit until now that I am taking my MBA.

Wow, very organized... I have red but I always use orange in place of it (when checking, etc). I only started when I was in high school.. When others look at my notes, they laugh at it too...

It's always been color blue for me and nothing else. I don't like using other pen color. What i don't like most is black pen.

Colorful notes does make reading them easier, but I tend to go for the easiest thing at the moment and stick to a black pen or pencil. Usually sections that might be better defined with color I try to either underline, box, circle or star. Color is probably still more organized, but my way leaves me more time to take notes and understand what the teacher is saying.
