Day 10:

While studying I came up with a genius spin on regular flashcards.

These flashcards have two modes:

TEST MODE: normal flashcards with a question and answer or concept and description format. Good for forcing myself to describe material in my own words. Blah blah blah

Problem: reviewing 100 randomly shuffled flashcards from different lectures is a really messy and unstructured way to try to remember the material.

Solution:

REVIEW MODE: on the description side I added 1) the lecture number 2) an index to order the cards for each lecture 3) the question or concept (other side) as a title. Now I can lay out all the cards from one lecture in order and I have an organized summary of the material as well as flashcards!

Day 1 - 2015/10/2 I calculated how long it will take me to finish my assignments and study for midterms over the next 25 days. The result: 250 hours. Everyday I will give an update on my progress. Today I only studied for 6 hours so I better up my game tomorrow :). Wish me luck! Progress: 6/250

Just looking at my pretty journals that I’ve been using currently :) I know I just started using everything without finishing one first :p but notebooks are my passion and my obsession for a long time.

The view from my bedroom window today. Even when the weather is dismal Cambridge is beautiful. Really want to sit on that bench but it’s freezing outside ~
