... Take great notes with Jot!
Introducing Jot
Dwight Holzworth, DC
Hey everyone!
When I first started college, I struggled with taking notes. Keeping up with fast-paced lectures was tough, and my notes were usually a jumbled mess.
One day, a friend introduced me to a book about speedwriting. At first, it was overwhelming, but I soon realized I didn't need to use every trick in the book. In fact, it only takes a small fraction to write 80+ WPM.
Since then, I've reviewed a dozen similar books looking for more speed. Here's what I've found: true simplicity is the key to mastering speedy writing.
The "class notes sample" below shows how simple speedy writing can be an incredible game changer.

Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to my simplified speedwriting method: Jot. It makes jotting things down quick and easy. Jot is not only fun but also engaging, like playing a game!
And the best part? It's completely free!
How Fast Do You Write?
Not sure? Let's find out!
To assess your writing speed, you will need to write three sample sentences. Your average writing speed will be calculated once data from all three samples has been gathered.
Here's how it works:
First, warm up by practicing writing each sample.
Next, tap the traffic light to start the timer.
When the light turns green, start writing.
When the light turns red, stop.
A speed calculator will pop up...
Simply enter how many times you wrote the full sentence and how many extra words you added.
Let's see how fast you can write!
Great Reasons To Jot

Writing faster can definitely be beneficial.

After that, feel free to highlight, markup, circle, and underline as much as you want!
Let's Get Started It's free!
If you write in cursive, aim for an average speed goal of 80+ WPM (words per minute). If you print your notes, you may shoot for 60+ WPM. No matter your final speed, get ready for your note-taking skills to soar!
It's time to pick a lane and start practicing.
Cursive Lane (80+ WPM)
Printing Lane (60+ WPM)
Not everyone needs to write with "official cursive" script. However, everyone should at least be aware of two key cursive concepts. These concepts may help you fit Jot writing into your own natural writing style in a way that suits you best.
Begin with the Cursive Jump Start lesson, and then proceed to the first Jot lesson: Streamlining Letters.
