[garcavisconde]

okay, i need you to listen: you need to care. you need to care. you need to care. in spite of everything, you need to care. despite everything, you need to care. yes yes i know you feel lonely and yes i know how it is to be taught that you need to be cold and distant and always (and i mean always) distrustful of everyone, because who knows, you never know, but you live in a society made by a species whose survival is based almost solely on caring about things. we are not developed to be uncaring. please, you're not weak for caring. please, don't stop caring about things. please, you need to care.

Tips for understanding complex topics

I've struggled with this but I'm adapting, you know? So here are some of my tips I use for this :)

If you can't understand it at once, do not think that it is hard

Many times, the topic itself if simple but the way the textbook has described it is complex so go and search for related videos and Google about it until you've got a hint about what it is.

If it's complicated, divide the sentence.

When you find yourself getting completely lost in a topic while banging your head against the wall because it's so confusing.... separate each part of the sentence while you write each part as you say it out loud. It'll help you to atleast get a short idea about the subject.

Read! Read! Read!

Read it over and over again and underline the words you think are important, write them down, explain it to yourself, draw small diagrams around your notes, connect them through visual representation. The more you use different types of senses, the better you understand it.

Give yourself time.

Let yourself grasp what the whole topic is about, do not under any circumstances have a time limit for difficult topics. I took days just to understand how Javascript loops work and I'm still not fully clear about it but i can explain the general, very basic purpose of it.

Explain it to someone or yourself

The best way to learn is to teach, this actually does work. It helps you to put your understanding in words and clear any underlying questions. And lastly...

Handwritten notes!

I cannot stress this enough but things that you've written down generally stay in your memory for longer durations. I also prefer handwritten notes to digital ones cause personally it works better.

Hope this helps! :D

The PQ4R Reading Method

A technique for better comphrension and memorazing of textbooks

Steps

Preview: Read the introduction and headings, look at the pictures, graphs, etc

Question: Ask yourself questions before reading. What are you trying to learn from this?

Read the material/textbook

Reflect: Were the questions answered? How? What did you learn?

Recite: Think about the material, discuss it, write it down, explain it to the wall

Review: What were the main points? Did you understand them? Were your questions answered?

Pros

Helps you have better reading comphrension (understand the material=easier to study)

It is really effective in that aspect.

It's quick. Preview and Question takes a few minutes and if there is an assignment with the material, it can cover the Recite part

Cons

It cannot stand as a study method on its own. It is amazing to undertand the topic, but not to study it. It needs to be complemented

Disclaimer: even if the "con" makes you think "oh, i shouldnt use this method because i need to complement it", thats false. The reason for this is because it is a reading method instead of an studying one. It works wonders and will help you a lot even if it doesnt seem like it.

Subject we recommend for this method

History, Geography, Literature, Civics/Ethics, Sociology, all subjects with that way of working

The Blurting Method

What is the Blurting Method?

It is a revision techinique that consists of:

Write notes about the topic and read them until you undestand it and remember some of it

Write everything you remember about the topic (without using the notes)

Go back to your notes and with a different colour add what you missed and correct your mistakes

Repeat the process until you know it

Remember to take breaks!

Pros

This method uses active recall, which makes your memory work harder and helps you store information in your long-term memory

It is incredibly effective

Cons

It is a really intense study method and it takes a lot of time (remember to take breaks!)

Subjects we recommend for this method

All subjects that are more theorical than practical.

Study Tip - 4

When you're studying, it is advisable to take a break. I don't mean breaks which last around 5-15 mins. I mean breaks that last for 20 seconds.

Why 20 seconds?

Recently, i have discovered that when you're studying for long hours or even short, our brains are exhausted by the time we complete even a single chapter. It has too much of information to actually process it so i always use this method.

When you complete a topic, small or big. Just close your eyes for 20-30 seconds and lean back on your chair and calm your breathing. Process the information. Let everything sink in. Take out the tension. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PHONE. And then after those 20-30 seconds, just glance through the topic before moving to the next one.

How does this help?

Boosts attention.

Allows you to calm down from overwhelming emotions

Helps you process better.

You're likely to remember it more.

Helps you to study for longer hours.

Hope it helps! :)

Yoga instructor

Ok, so there's this cute, sweet yoga instructor that gives such lovely advice, expert knowledge & exudes a kind aura! I admire them so much! Definitely have a crush. Definitely want to move beyond the crush & enjoy the wisdom they have to offer me (dude, possessive & entitled much?) could offer me. TO BE QUITE FRANK, they remind me of Roomie from GGAR. Honestly, I think it's uncanny in their stature, their body, their attitude, lifestyle, speech & thought. I think it's FANTASTIC!!! A real life Roomie 😁 I know I'm projecting, but I can't help myself! I love that I feel this way because it's making life fun. I want to tell them that they remind me of a fun loving character from a webcomic on the internet that I've adored since high school, but I'm not sure how to go about that & I'm not sure if they will take it as a compliment or as a weird observation/experience on their end. I think I'll tell them towards the end of our sessions together before I leave the city, so we have time to get into it if their interested in the webcomic. I think it would certainly bring about a good laugh or two.
