Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy this tool and it make you smarter. Please leave a comment and let me know if/how you're using the notepaper and what I can do to improve it.
Great job, Ryan! The HipsterPDA Cover is great, too. You got a post and a link in my blog. Sorry for my english :D

This tool is great for those unfortunate enough to have graduated and now find themselves slaving away every day for "The Man". I have a lot of meetings to attend so this could be useful for my note taking while at the meetings. I do have some suggestions that I think could make this even more useful:
Have the form remember my info using cookies. This way when I return for more notepaper I don't have to refill it out. Along those lines prefilling the date field with today's date would also be useful.
Great job, though!
Thanks for the kudos guys. @Edward - I'll get to work on the cookie. I went ahead and put in the date as requested.
Have you thought about doing a 2 page pdf for output for two sided note taking? While I can't see myself using this daily to print out note paper I can see myself putting the pdf onto a flash drive and having office depot printing me out a batch all at once. Having two sides to take notes on would be pretty effecient use of the paper I'd think.
Great idea T! I'll get to work on that - no promises though 
On second thought T - unless I'm misunderstanding something - all you would need to do is tell the kind associate at your printer of choice that you want it printed double-sided.
The only thing I can see that would need to be changed is the hole punch guides would need to be moved. I'm guessing that if you get a bunch of these printed and you want holes, you would probably spend the extra $5 to get a three hole punch also.
Am I pickin' up what you're puttin' down?
Thanks for all of the hard work. Very nice!
I take math, physics, and electrical engineering notes and often need to sketch or graph something. I hate to take notes on grid paper, so I normally use narrow-ruled notebook paper and slip a rotated blank sheet behind it to let me draw a graph. This is an imperfect solution and I would enjoy a sheet where the area for notes had horizontal lines with vertical lines printed on the back to form a graph.
Point well taken, Ted. I just hope you come back to see the changes that I made on your behalf.
If you wanna 'do it up Ted style' just go to http://eleven21.com/notetaker/index1.php and make sure you check the appropriate box.
Keep those suggestions coming. I'll do my best to make them all happen and then mash them all together in a big pile of 'Advanced Options.'
Ryan, great job. This is maybe the most useful web app I've come across this year. You've single handedly made my workday much easier.
this is a great app! you earned a link from me as well.
as for Trachalio's 2-sided comment, it would be really convenient to have the option to switch the cue column to the right side, because, while taking notes live, the rings of a binder can get really annoying really quickly. basically, just a mirror of the page as it already is for front/back printing.
still, awesome app.
Have you considered making an A4 size template for the rest of the world?
Derek,
I'll do it tonight. Check back soon. Disclaimer: I'm not a small minded American - I'm just a small minded developer who never imagined that 'the rest of the world' would ever find out about the application. I wrote it for me. 
Mega props/kudos to this web app...I love graph paper, but I'm also a nerd who likes custom graph paper!
As a suggestion to those looking to print in quantity and with the mirror image idea...if you had a pdf with a mirror image for page two you could take it to your local copy shop, have them print off 100 sheets, place a heavy plastic cover on the front and back, add a spiral and *poof* you have a custom notebook! My friend did this with graph paper for me last year for a custom journal. I love it
Good on ya mate... from sydney/Aust.
I've made some updates (including A4 for all my friends elsewhere). Please take a moment to test them out and try to think of anything else you might like to see this little app do.
I've made the task of adding new paper sizes rather easy so if you want another size, just let me know. It'll take no time at all.
Thanks so much to everyone for stopping by to try this out. I hope it makes you more productive.
Now this is what I'm talking about. I'm a college student with a very unorganized free note taking skills. I'm reading and taking notes more then ever and still miss a few questions on tests. I should observe any improvements after using this wonderful tool with the Cornell Note Taking Method. Thanks.
I think I checked this out over the summer and was mildly amused, but with the option of Ted Style I think I'm digging it.
Here is my suggestion, for my name and class name I just threw down "__________________" That way I can put the date, page num., etc up there.
Enough geeking out over paper. Thanks.
Nice work and quickly too with the A4 options.
Now if you wanted to get really fancy and international, the rest of the world uses 2 (or sometimes 4) hole punches. This is not as big a deal as the paper size, as my hole punch knows where to make the holes , but for completists...
Derek,
I considered that but I don't have any way to measure where those hole punches are. If you want to give me those measurements or tell me where I can find them, I'll do my best to work it in. Glad to see everyone likes the new additions.
They are 80mm apart and 12mm in from the edge, centred vertically.
Or, if I remembered incorrectly, there's an entry in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punchhole
OK! What I think will probably be the last changes to the app have been made. At this point I think anything else would only serve to clutter things up. However, I'm still open to ideas so smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Thanks for all the input and positive feedback. Now go get some studying done!
Nice additions Ryan! With the double sided feature I'll be making my own notebooks from now on Thanks!!
Hundreds of high school freshmen will now be directed to your site, and probably cursing your name, Bryan. At least they won't have to keep drawing the line down their pages anymore
- mj dailey, Earth science teacher
Ooh, I would love A5 or 8.56 x 5.5" size - this is a great amount of material to look at at a glance, for me.
Thanks! Great work!
NKOTH-
Got it! Thanks for the suggestion. It made me streamline it a bit more. Now I can add all the paper sizes that my class supports. That's a lot so I'm not gonna add anymore unless someone specifically requests it.
holy shit! good work. recommended it to my brother in high school
Just wanted to say, absolutely awesome. Been looking for something like this for ages. Thanks a million. Dan
Great idea, and perfect for taking notes in meetings at work.
The only thing that would improve it for my use, is too disable the name/class/date on the 2nd page of a double sided print. Currently I just print a blank one and a personalized one, and have the photocopier merge them into a double sided document. It would be nice to just have the printer do the work in one go.
Where have you been all my life? This is 100 percent awesome.
Great page, works well in Firefox but instantly crashes Safari - all I have to do is select the Graph checkbox and Safari crashes...
Mac OSX Ver 10.4.2
Safari version 2.0.1 (412.5)
Great work though, thanks!
Ryan,
Thank you very much for your efforts, this is a great asset to have in your bookmarks list.
Please consider adding more templates and maybe making it into a Doanteware application. I am certain it would be well received.
Fantastic app - but it could be made more user-friendly to the vast majority of the world's population by allowing separations to be in lines/grids per cm, rather than per inch.
Terrific idea. Like it a lot. I prefer taking my notes along the length of the page rather than the width. Any chance of making that available? How about a 7-hole punch (Franklin Planner style)? THANKS!
Nice work, a great page that I'm passing on to my biz friends. One side note: this is the first page in months that has crashed my browser (Safari v2.0.1). Just crashes it dead once I hit the "Ruled" radio button. But it worked fine in Firefox.
Thanks to everyone for all the comments. I'll check on that Safari thing but from the two comments that mentioned it, it sounds like there is a bug in the javascript that causes safari to crash. Unfortunately, I don't have a mac to test on so I don't know when I can fix this bug.
Second, I'll add 'cm' to my 'to-do' list for this app as well as a Franklin Planner version.
I love seeing new comments. Keep 'em coming!
Just to mention this for those of you who want square centimetre graph paper: enter 2.54 for the number of grids per inch and it comes out great.
I'm going to teach 8th graders the Cornell method and your template was great! How about adding a column for illustrations? You can increase your learning by 20% - 40% by creating nonlinguistic representations of what you are studying!
Just wanted to say thank you for this excellent tool.
Do you guys ever take notes from books ?
or do you highlight terms in the book itself?? thanks
chris,
i do both typically. i usually use this sheet for lectures and use the summaries from them to reiterate what i need to re-read from the book. as for plain-ol-book-studying, i typically write in the book or create an outline of the passage depending on what im studying.
hope this helps.
ryan
hey thanks! .... By the way how do you take notes on the right side of the sheet? Roman numerals mapping or what?? I really need help haha
Chris,
Take a look at this.

Hope this helps.
Ryan
Wow:
I've been looking for something like this ever since I first learned of the Cornell method a week ago. Unfortunately, despite the claims in Pauk's book, NO ONE sells Cornell-style notepaper or notebooks.There is more evidence that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. The closest I've come across is the legal stlye ones, except the margin is more like 3 1/2 inches...not enough room for note taking. Its a pain getting a ruler and doing it by hand....contrary to Pauk's point of budgeting time.
I am assuming the best way to do this is to use a lined version(for taking lecture notes in college)However I don't know how many lines per inch I should use to mimic the college ruled 8 1/2 by 11 college ruled notebooks.
This is great.
Hey This is Great!! But maybe you could lessen the width of the cue column if it's ok
Nice work! I'd like the option to remove the blank section at the bottom (the summary section), or only have it print on the last page or some such. I"ve found many people prefer this "modified Cornell" system.
I really dig this. I admit, it's not that much more useful than a wide margin legal pad, but so much cooler.
One wee feature request: could you provide a metric option for grids?
AWESOME!
I am an Assistant Principal at a school where many teachers use Cornell notes. I have created notes pages for my daughter for all her subject areas. I plan on passing this info on to several of our teachers too. This is a super application! KUDOS!
John
Readek is a national program teaching kids notetaking, study habits and reading comprehension skills. I've passed this site to them as they teach the Cornell method and finding appropriate notepaper is so tough. Congratulations on your contribution to the bigger picture!
This is great. I am going back to school and it is hard to find this system anywhere. Thanks for sharing.
Nice - but not unicode :-(
This is a must have tool for anyone that likes Cornell Style note taking. I've been using it for a week now and I am hooked. I am a student at South Texas College in McAllen, TX and this website has become a valuable resource for me. Keep up the good work and I'll be sure to pass the word along about this gem in my College Success class.
Great tool! but would love unicode support! many thanks!
I LOVE THIS! thank yoU!
Just what I wanted with the Ted style option - thanks.
jeffhe@clicknet.com
Good idea, well implemented. I would like to see the option of printing lines or graphs paper in color, particularly medium blue, and adjust the darkness of that. If you can get around to it, I'll use it, for sure! I find a heavier weight of paper to be nicer to write on, too (higher than 20, which is standard copier/printer paper).
jay
Could we get Ted Smith's comment back? Or a link to wherever it is? I'm looking for the detail of Ted-style, and it's not here.
Stefanie,
Haloscan (my comment manager) deleted the first 15 or so comments for whatever reason. Ted Style is pretty simple really. It prints horizontal lines on the front of the page and vertical lines on the back thus creating a quasi graph paper because you can see through your page. I'd encourage you to try it out. I think you'll like it.
Ryan
Hey, great tool. However, have you thought about an option to make notes for more then one date? Seems a little inconvenient to reinput the date for every day.
Thanks.
Pat,
The "Date" field is an unrestricted text field. Feel free to put anything there you'd like . . . "Week of April 17, 2006" for instance.
Thanks for the kind words.
Ryan
Thanks for the prompt response. I understand it's aq free text field, but what about an option that would automatically put in a range of dates, and create a multipaged PDF with one page for each date?
Once again, just a quick little suggestion, but I think I wasn't quite clear enough the first time.
Gotcha Pat. Great suggestion. I'll put that on the to-do list but can't make any promises as to when it will be to-done.
Thanks for the clarification.
Ryan
Cool Tool.
This is what is great about the internet: tools that you didn't even know you needed - and now can't live without - all out there to discover. And free for the taking on top of that!!
Good job.
How do I change the name, date, etc using Adobe Reader? HELP
J
You don't change anything with Adobe Reader. You make the changes on this page and generate new pages for each date, name, etc.
I had never heard of this notetaking system, until I asked an aunt of mine that lives in the US about how I could increase my productivity in university.
My only problem was that over on this side of the worl (I live in Chile), there are only your standard wire-bound notebooks available. This tool here really came in handy!
What I tweaked a little was the fields, instead of using them as they were intended, I made them with prompts, like this:
Subject: ________________
Date: ___/___/_______
Page ___ of ___
That way I could use it for any subject, and I didn't mix up the pages!
Great tool, and thanks for all the effort you put into it!
How do you use this system of notes? sorryfor being ignorant
No problem Jason. The best explaination I've seen is here http://www.westshore.edu/webs/
lt...king_method.htm
This page is so great!!! Don't ever delete it, I'm doing a university preperation course, I'll be using it for a while
Great generator! Can't live without it!
A little suggestion - or really, an addition.
Maybe in the advanced options, have some options so you can fill in more than just the class/name/date? I was thinking more of an "I" layout, where the whole top is sectioned so you can put class/name/date on the right side, teacher's name/page number/another info on the other side. I really would like to be able to put info on the left side of the page as well.
Great site! Thanks for all your help!
What I would absolutely love is if I could upload my logo and have it displayed on the top left of the page (where the compliments of TheFlyerman.com is now) You're not interested in open sourcing the PHP code, are you?
This site is great, my notes will never be the same, especially for science. Some ideas are just better expressed as drawings (i.e. sections of the brain).
Could you allow the user to switch around the order of the name, class, and date? Well, unless it's one of those special notetaking things, because I usually write the topic as a header.
@ A. Chang - The name, class, and date are just suggestions. You can type anything you want in these boxes and it will print on the page. I'm glad you like it.
I would appreciate the inclusion of B5 as a paper size very much. Apart from that, I am filled with gratitude and admiration for your creation. Thank you.
thanks for the great tool.. with so many options already provided.. could you allow the option to change the font size of class,name and date.. i would like to print it smaller than the default settings.. hope i am not asking for too much.. thanks
I love you. Like, oh so much.
I was always -so- frustrated cause line sizing and not having a place to right questions/summaries. Now I do! Perfect for math and science! Thanks a bunch.
Thx for this! It's great for Med School notes!
Greetings from Colombia!
I'm hooked! Great app. Using it for a a lot! I dread the day it is gone from the web!
One suggestion - move your "compliments of" watermark so that it doesn't overlap with the heading text on the back-side of a double-sided page print.
I love this site! This will come in handy, for sure. Now I need to find some better paper to print it on. The cheap 20# just isn't going to cut it.
And has anyone seen my three-hole punch?
Great Work my man,
Very philanthropic! No suggestions here, you have done enough to help us all out!
(To All) Don't be too greedy peoples!
Still want that iPod shuffle? Tell us where we can send some donations to help the cause. Keep up the great work.

Wow! Thanks so much! I'm using your pages for myself and I'm going to teach my kids how to use it!
I found a pretty good explanation of how to use the Cornell Note Taking Method at Penn State's website. Penn State University - University Learning Centers.
Lifehacker just (re-)featured this in today's Retro Roundup, so get ready for another round of comments.
Love it! My only regret is that I didn't learn about this three years ago.
Thank you so very much for this great web app! You have saved me so much time and effort.
I have one small request (on that I have seen reqested before on here). Is there a way to make it so that the user can choose to have the main note area on the left and the smaller recall area on the right?
I am left-handed and having the main note taking area on the right is not as natural as having it on the left-hand side. If this were to be implimented, then I could choose to have the page printed on 2 sides, and only use the "back side" so that the rings of the binder will not be in the way of my arm.
Again, thank you so very much for this great web app. You have helped me out a lot.
would love to see you opensource the code on this.
Updated link to westshore document : http://www.westshore.edu/media/

Thanks for the tool.
Is there a way to put the notes section on the right? I normally use graph paper and just divide it up with a pencil line, and the notes section always ends up on the right.

Awesome! I had never heard of the Cornell method until one of my professors told us it is required for our portfolios. I will be telling all my classmates about your site! I dreaded having to draw lines on all my pages. Thank you so much!!!!

Great job, thanks!
But... the spanish version is down, could you fix it?
Once again, thank you... if you're still there...
Found this site when searching for note taking aids. I have a Tablet PC and printed the forms to Journal. Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!
I just wanted to thank you for a great tool! I use it DAILY and have even impressed cute chicks with it (no lie).
One request? Have that cookie remember all of my settings. For example, I take mine ruled with no holes (sucka), and all done up Ted style. It'd be great if the tool remembered all of that for me so I didn't have to set it each time.
my teacher in psychology suggested this site to have better note-taking...woah! this is pretty awesome ^-^
This is really grand. They are implementing it in my son's school and this allows us to set it up for added use. Love it! One note though, how about adding lines in the other two areas as well?
I like it very much! One request, when I make 4 holes I could use some guides:
- in the middle between the first and second hole, and
- in the middle between the third and fourth hole.
Otherwise it is hard to do it precisely.
Thanks!
I am a high school English teacher and I wish for a word to describe the great service you have done for my students. Bravo!
Great page, but one request. My printer prints on both sides as if it were opening a book on the left. As such, if I create a two sided page in your program, the back page comes out reversed. OK, that was complicated, but the bottom line is that I could really use a version that simply had two identical pages, on after another. Then my printer could do its thing. I realize I could just print one page, flip the paper and print again, but I can never quite figure out what direction to put the paper. Just a thought, though.
How about a two paged Ted Style paper. That way we could avoid the rings, and still have the benefit of Ted Style.
Very useful tool, thanks for creating it.
Have you considered allowing the printed lines to be in different colors?
I love you. Seriously I do. This is one of the best tools I've come across, online and offline... Thank you so much for this!!!!!
Hi there,
Great tool! One addition that would help me out (and maybe others!) would be to have another vertical line separating the left edge of the paper from the beginning of the cue space, to allow people who don't want the punch holes to be printed to know how far over to start writing their cue comments.
Without such a border, someone without punch holes might write down comments in the cue column, and if they decide to punch holes afterwards, might punch out part of the written text.
Thx!
Dave
great idea, thanks. I'm a 50 year old mum who's studying a Diploma in Marketing after leaving school at 15 years old.
I have ADHD & found this style of note taking in an old text book about 8 years ago & found it suits me especially when used with a 4 colour pen.
Thanks for the template
Jayne
Brilliant tool. I used the paper for the first time in Psych class this morning. Now I'm printing more!
This is great!
Next question: Are you interested in doing paper for kids with handwriting problems? Spacing that allows the kid's natural size, and a variety of line / dotted-line and weight sequences.
Given what you've done here, it might be fairly easy for you. I did them in MSWord for my son, but to change the spacing you need to know how to use that program. HTML produced unexpected (well, given the "standards", maybe not unexpected) results.
Our four favorite types are on my website. www.sandy.onebit.ca/Nonfic/Printpaper
Handwriting Without Tears has another one, but it's copyrighted (as much as pairs of lines can be copyrighted).
I really love this paper and use it frequently. My only feature suggestion would be automated page numbers. That way I could make a whole notebook instantaneously!
Thank you so much. I'm already excited to use this in class. I've never been enthusiastic about notetakingÜ
This is totally awesome and really helps me study!!!
The only other thing that I would like is the option to not have the "summary" area at the bottom, I think it's called "modified cornell style" (and maybe a page number option). Is this a possibility? Thanks so much!
Cool tool. Thanks for making it available.
Being an engineer, I like the graph paper option in the notes section. I'd like to offer a couple of suggestions for improvements.
1. Dark grid lines - on 'standard' engineering paper, there are 5 squares per inch, but there are also darker lines that form larger 1-inch squares. Can you add an option for two line widths, one for the interior lines and one for the every 'n' lines? Can you add an option to specify how often a darker line should be printed (every 'n'th, in my case 5th, line).
2. Titles for each section - for beginners it might be nice to 'label' each section (notes, cue words, summary) so they remember what to do with each one. You could go all-out and allow the labels to be changed as well.
Thanks,
- James

Just discovering this from Lifehacker.
One suggestion that takes the advantage of Ted Style, but lets you use two sides...
Make regular ruled lines on the front, with a small dot between each line, so that the dots form columns at the same measured interval as the number of rule lines.
This could be printed front and back. If you don't visualize it, think of sheets that have just dots instead of grids. This would be a hybrid of dot pages and ruled lines.
It would let Ted (and me) draw squares and pictures, with the dots being enough of a suggestion of the vertical grid space.
Also, you only use one shade of gray now. The dots could be one shade lighter than the rule lines.
Hope you integrate my feedback.
Any chance of an option to print in colour instead of just shades of grey? It would be a lot prettier and make colour-coding practical.
Thanks.

Expanding on the "Ted style" for physics/engineering notes, most engineering notepads actually keep the entire front page blank and have the grid on the back. That way, when you're handling a single sheet, you can barely see the grid lines, but if you have multiple sheets, you get a crisp and clear set of lines to use.
I also second James' suggestion.
