UPDATE: Just started using Notion as a central hub for my anatomy notes/sem 2 notes(it's really intuitive). I'll also be storing my daily to-do lists there - I usually make the lists on small sticky notes and will continue to do so, but I'll store them digitally as well for future reference. This'll hopefully make revision super easier then and allow me to use my precious workbook space for scribbles/notes/exercises etc
I used to take all my notes physically and still will, but only as rough notes/sketches/scribbles (super into those); I'll collate all those in Notion for when I revise later on.

Welcome to the bandwagon. I rate notion.
I know you didn't ask, but I thought this could be useful to you and anyone else reading. A notion database that was really helpful for me last semester was something I called the ‘tracker’.
It was essentially a notion database where I listed every class I had alongside labelling
- What week it was in
- What type of class it was (ICL/Tutorial/AL/Lecture)
- The topic of the class
- Priority/yield
And then I had 3 tick boxes
- Whether I've planned out when I intend to work on it
- Whether I've made notes on it
- Whether I've made anki flashcards on it
I found this was SUPER useful in tracking the overwhelming amount of activities. Here's an image of this for my first week of sem 2.

Absolutely mad - thank you so much. First two days (lol) of sem so far have been pretty overwhelming, I've been trying to log every class + related notes in standard "note"-form on Notion which is pretty janky. This should be a good way of organising all the classes.
Unrelated note: First anatomy tute today, pretty overwhelming. Lots of nomenclature, definitely more 'competitive' than say, clin. skills (seems like everyone knows everything except me), but she'll be right with enough organised study I reckon.

Haha yeah, I tried note-taking on notion but ended up sticking to word because that platform is just much more powerful in terms of flexibility.
The initial shock of anatomy is pretty brutal but you'll get used to it. The best thing you can do for yourself is pre-learn before classes otherwise you'll just be left there blank-faced not understanding anything. Gray's anatomy for students is an excellent textbook to refer to for this as it breaks down and organises areas such as upper limb very nicely. Not the atlas, specifically the 'anatomy for students' one. If you can't get your hands on it PM me.
Best get used to feeling other people know everything except you. Everyone feels like this from time to time, even those who seem 'on top of it'. You're working alongside some very smart cookies. The ultimate aim is to help each other become good doctors ;).
