Cornell Notes Template and Notebook

Hi JMSTAHL,
 
Thank you for the heads up on the OfficeMax spiral notebook. Can you claifiy though whether they OfficeMax made these custom for you of whehter it is a stock item for them. I went on their web site and could not find such a noteboook.
Thanks
Frankie

And not just because Frankie likes you, though that's a good reason, as good a guy as he is.
JMStahl-  THANK YOU.  Very classy indeed.   I don't think you're an MT Premium Subscriber, but you are for Career Tools, right?
I'd like to offer you a complimentary Manager Tools Annual Premium subscription as a small way of saying thanks for helping other managers and members.
It's a privilege to work with you.

For anyone who likes high end stationary and notebooks, check out http://www.levenger.com/.
They sell someting very similar (I think they call it annotated) as pads, 3 ring binder or their Circa line. 
For the Tablet users, there are a few MS templates in OneNote
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=Cornell&av=TPL000

It is a custom notebook I had printed.  I used the Word template my first hyperlink will help you create and then emailed it to the local OfficeMax here in Cincinnati.  I asked them to print the template on double-sided on 100 sheets of paper.  From there I asked them to spiral bound and use card stock covers.
Another nice thing with this notebook is the paper is a heavier paper, not the bleached copy paper I have found in notebooks previous to this.
If you have any other questions feel free to let me know.  Hope this helps!

That is just a great tip. Thank you!

Not sure if this one is already in the forums somewhere ... I use http://www.eleven21.com/notetaker/ a lot. It creates a pdf file with information you enter and is a bit more user friendly than most of the other Cornell generators I have used.

 After being pulled up in a previous role for not being 'Perfectly Organized'  this podcast really helped! 
 I created my own word template which I photocopy double sided. I choose to keep these in a ring binder as It means I can then add meeting hand outs to the folder as well.  At the end of the month I then Comb-bind the month worth of notes. I work on a complex project, which means I attend a lot of different, but monthly meetings, this system really works for me and has helped me prove a number of disputed points!
As a high 'D', I had to make a few additions... I use a system of different color highlighters to make it more visual.
- Green; Referenced Documents (With meeting code number and and alpha-identifier)
- Yellow; Another's action 
- Orange; My actions
- Pink; Important information 
I do this after the meeting at my desk as I find it helps me review the notes, the meeting code number helps on the to-do list as well. Having just typed this I now realize I should get out more! but seriously, don't knock a good system and this really has improved my work.
Mark, Mike, thanks a million!

And I can usually find them at Office Max/Depot

 Each sheet has graph paper on the back which is somewhat handy.
