How OCD are you with your notes?

I tend to make my notes into an organized clutter of information. They have to be organized and neat otherwise I can't study without tension at the back of my mind lol. How about you? How organized/neat are you with your notes?

I have sections, then subsections, then sub subsections, then sub sub subsections, then sub sub sub subsections. Everything's bullet pointed, colour coded, and highlighted. There are so many pages that I have to number and letter each one and paperclip each section so the individual subsections don't run away from me. I was recently introduced to OneNote which stole my heart. :love:

If my organisation style was turned into software that would be it, but there would be more sections in my one.

I sometimes do that with my law notes (I section and subsection only though haha). Since I've started uni I have started writing all of my notes on refill paper and I write pages and pages of information without leaving any lines empty so the entire page has to be filled. Where I section things off I have to highlight the headings otherwise it doesn't seem organized to me. I usually staple each section together so it feels complete :awesome:

Your method though seems very cool and organized, ahhh OneNote... I've heard of its wonderful ways.

I am not trivializing people who suffer from OCD. I actually suffer from it myself... and there are different levels of OCD as well. OCD is a part of my life hence why I like to keep my notes as organized as possible in my own way.
