Hello Little Kitsune

Welcome to my tiny corner of the internet where I share my love of stationery and bullet journaling 💕

[foxymint]

November setup. This year has been a horrible roller-coaster ride and I just hope these next couple of months are smoother.

Went back to single page weeklies because I realized that I've been wasting a lot of space. Oops. 😅

October in my new notebook 😍

Fun fact: this is the first time I've completely filled out a notebook (granted it took me 2 years of inconsistent bullet journaling 😂)...

[foxymint]

Last week's dailies. Practicing lettering, spacing is my enemy. 😂

[foxymint]

Setting up for October :D

[foxymint]

Setting up for next week! (:

[foxymint]

This past week in my Bullet Journal...

Awkward lighting is awkward. Sorry about that.

I’ll probably add in a quote or a doodle or something under Sunday to fill in that space.

This week was crazy. From having all of three days to finish a project (thanks, Prof, for letting us know with your “by now you should...” email... =__=;;) and having to set aside all my other work to focus on that because 490Hell is a capstone course. And now I have to finish all the things I’ve set aside. it’s a terrible cycle! xD

[foxymint]

/facepalm. I did it again, lol. I’m such a space case right now. It must be because I’m so mentally exhausted (darn you 490hell). I also don’t have whiteout on me... again! Lol, guess I’ll have another washi banner on this spread :P

[foxymint]

We all make mistakes XD I just happen to make more than others. :P

[foxymint]

I clearly need a portable background for when I’m not at home, haha. But anyway, setting up for tomorrow in my BuJo. Hopefully, I get to relax some after Thursday… >__< 490 definitely feels like a burnout capstone course...

Memory Tips

Study repeatedly - Overlearn. Take advantage of life’s little intervals (i.e.- riding the bus, walking, waiting in the grocery checkout line)

Spend time actively thinking about material - Exercise weak memories with rehersal and critical reflection. No skimming!

Make material personally meaningful - Write notes in your own words. Form as many cue associations (i.e.- images, experiences) as possible! 

Use mnemonic devices for lists - Associate items with peg words, create a vivid story involving the items, or chunk items into acronyms 

Refresh your memory by activating cues - Mentally re-create situations/moods where you orginally learned the material or physically return to the location 

Minimize interferences - Study about an hour before sleep. Don’t study similar subjects back-to-back (i.e.- Studying Spanish then French right after) 

Test your knowledge - Don’t be overconfident about recalling the material. Test yourself with the learning objectives. You can outline sections, define terms/concepts, create practice tests, or explain the topic to a friend without using your notes
