ੈ✩‧₊˚The Perfect Mindmap; GRINDE

by Justin Sung

I personally don't have the patience to read through pages of notes that I have scribbled ferociously in the past few uni weeks, so I present the best tool for efficient active recall; mindmaps!

ੈ✩‧₊˚ The 6 step checklist:

✩Grouped - Organising concepts and ideas into groups that allow a more categorical setup which is the same method your brain uses to store information.

✩Reflective - It should reflect how your mind processed the information, how you see and recognise the data and what you understand from it.

✩Interconnected - Categorising and creating more connections within the groups, linking ideas together to retain a greater understanding and remember more concepts :)

✩Non-verbal - More doodling and symbols, less words, make it more personal for your own understanding and information retention.

✩Directional - You can see the Cause & Effect or the levels of priority. It should flow and relationships between ideas should be easily identifiable.

✩Emphasize - emphasizing the main concepts, and grasping the main ideas and their relevance for each group

good luck with your studies !!!

I cannot begin to tell you how liberating it is to be your own individual. To be the kind of person you truly want to be without trying to conform to social fads (see grown adults participating in childish TikTok trends). To not dumb yourself down by trying to fit in with crowds of mentally challenged people, to have your own unique opinions and outlook of the world without having the mob dictate your thoughts and opinions for you (see most online social media discourse). To feel empowered by the convictions you've gathered through relentless self-work and life experiences instead of adapting a victimhood mindset from others. To behave truly as who you believe the best version of yourself to be unapologetically. To not care about the opinion of random people but instead those whom you truly admire. To not live your life trying to always be desirable and appealing to men, constantly worrying about wanting to attract the attention of men and completely centering your life around males (see many "femininity" and "high value" coaches). To seek purpose beyond the mundane things of day-to-day life, beyond what is considered normal or regular. To not fit in and feel happy because of it. To live a life not bound by the people around you but a life that truly speaks to your inner being. It is so freeing.

I’m having a really busy day. It’s 7pm and I’m finally able to get some studying done! I want to prepare for my lecture tomorrow, start a programming assignment that’s due on Saturday and do some revision :) For my fellow night owls (or people in a different time zone lol), good luck with your work <3
