Writing on workbooks?

[cherryblossoms]

Hi, this is probably a weird topic.

So in the past, I’ve rarely highlighted or written in my textbooks or written answers in workbooks. I tend to just write notes or answers on a separate piece of paper. I think this stems from me thinking that I wouldn’t be able to sell the book as much as it could later on if I’ve written on it. But I’ve realised that I might as well write all over it if I wanted to and not worry about the price worth. I was just wondering what do you guys do? Do you annotate your textbooks and write in the gaps of your workbooks, or do you prefer to keep them in pristine condition?

Hey, cherryblossoms!

Not a weird question at all  I used to in high school (and still now with my uni textbooks) have post it notes to write my annotations on which allowed me to keep the textbook itself tidy but still filled with information that's relevant and helpful. I also did this with my workbooks with smaller post it notes that I would draw little arrows on to pinpoint the important points of my notes. This is a solid option if you want to keep the textbooks in pristine condition and possible for sale later on 

It's totally cool to write them on separate pieces of paper too! It really just depends on what's most effective for you  Hope that helps!

Yeah, I guess I'll see what's most effective for me. Thanks!
