Hello! Today, I'll be giving some tips on how to make presentations faster.
1. Write first, design later
Writing the information first will allow you to take a majority of the workload off of your shoulders. Then, you can design the presentation in a way that fits best for the topic. Designing first might compromise the quality of the information, especially if you’re in a time crunch. You can also collect links and pictures before formatting everything.
2. Use templates
Presentation templates will give you a consistent theme and make formatting and designing the presentation easier. If you find that the templates on Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint seem limited for your needs, you can use template options from other websites. Here is an article that provides a list of many sites with templates.
3. Keep the theme minimal and clean
You don’t need to be super extra for your presentation to look professional. Going with one or two color and font choices and keeping it consistent works as well. Besides, too much on the screen can be distracting.
4. Less is more
Be clear and concise. This is mainly a general tip, however it can be helpful as you are writing less. It is also helpful for your audience as you are getting right to the point.
5. Avoid just writing and writing and writing
Instead of writing multiple paragraphs of information, include images as well. A picture is worth a thousand words. This will not only save time since you’re writing less, it will also work as a visual aid. Diagrams, videos, and gifs work as well.

hey! these are some tips on how to make studying less boring. this may not make studying "fun" for you, but it can make it seem less dull.
----
1. Study with friends
Studying with friends can motivate you to complete your work as you are seeing others do the same. You can also help each other if you are having trouble with the topic.
2. Listen to music
Listening to calm background music can put you in a better mood and make studying less stressful. It can also distract you from other noises and allow you to focus on your studying. (the usage of music depends on what type of work you are doing, as it can be distracting in some cases)
3. Use “nice” stationery
If you are the type of person that likes to use new/pretty stationery, then this can motivate you to study. (nice stationery does not mean better grades though)
4. Study in a new place
You can try out something new by studying in a new location to reduce the monotony of sitting in the same place every day. It can be a library, park, or even a different place in your home.
5. Try new methods
Instead of using the same method every day, you can try new methods to see what works best for you. You can make flashcards, find a similar set on Quizlet, or watch a video on YouTube.
Hello! Today, I will be giving you some information about study tips. Feel free to adapt them to suit your needs.
Here is the list for those who just wish to have a quick look rather than read the descriptions.
Time of productivity
Well-lit study space
Location
Write a to-do list
Have all of your materials
Take Breaks
Time of productivity
Figure out what time of day you are most productive and use this time to knock out your hardest tasks. Don’t know how to determine this? Monitor what times of the day you feel energized and what times you feel tired, and see, over the course of a few days, if there is a pattern.
Well-lit study space
It is important that where you study has good lighting. If you can, it’s best to sit where there is natural light. However, artificial light works too. Just make sure that your computer screen isn’t the only source of light.
Location
Try to sit at a desk or table where you are upright. The couch and bed are areas that the brain assumes are used for relaxation, not work. Sitting in these areas will tempt you to lie down and relax, which doesn’t help with productivity.
Write a to-do list
At the beginning of your study session, write down what you want to complete so you are not wasting time figuring this later on. Additionally, you can write how long you think each task will take so you know how long you will be working.
Have all of your materials
It’s disturbing to get up to grab items. It also ruins your concentration. Having everything that you need will allow you to not have to get up while you are studying.
Take breaks
Taking breaks helps your body feel refreshed and regain its energy. It is essential to take breaks, whether they may be 5 or 25 minutes. The best way to determine the length of your breaks is to know what type of work you are doing. For example, if you are writing an essay or story, it requires long blocks of concentration to keep your thoughts going. You can do a 50 minute work time and a 10 minute break. (The Pomodoro method is a good way to split your time. It states that for 25 minutes of work, you should get 5 minutes of rest)
These are some study tips. I hope they help you. Thanks for reading!

Hey! This is a weekly spread in my bullet journal. I didn't use many colors and it is quite minimalistic. I still haven't found what works best for me yet, so I'm trying out different types of spreads.
This is a blog where I will be posting pictures and blog entries about study-related topics and sometimes art. It may also include bullet journal content as that is something I do.
Some of my hobbies include reading, drawing, calligraphy, and playing my flute. I enjoy studying (hence why I made this), and hope that this blog proves to help/motivate in your studies as well.
This is a new blog, so if anything doesn’t work, please do let me know. There are some parts that I am still working on, so those will say ‘coming soon’ or something similar.
