Let's be clear, I wasn't a good student. Keep that in mind with this advice :-)
This technique seems incredibly effective, but also way too time consuming. My best advice is to buy a ton of four color pens, and put them everywhere. Being able to use color to increase information density when both taking notes and re-writing notes was incredibly helpful (especially when drawing complex charts in economics).
There were people who had eight color pens, but those seemed a bridge too far. I honestly don't think I would have graduated without these (no affiliate): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000F2PFPS
And who can take notes into an app? I need the freedom of pen and paper for doodling when class is boring :-)
