have you got another week off for easter? I'm betting EVERYTHING I have to do on next week i have been a cozy burrito (see what I did there phaha I think I'm funny) for a while now so maybe my panic monkey will finally take the steering wheel - watch tim urban's #tedtalk inside the mind of a master procrastinator for context :) if you made it here, firstly you're ELITE and secondly i hope you have an awesome day <3 (at England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNc_0-SBmbI/?igshid=1d0tdpz537mqo

do you think taking notes is worth it? short answer for me would be HELL YEA I tried surviving 'noteless' for some time this year and it did not go well to say the least, I think notes - handwritten or digital help you understand things OR maybe I'm just used to learning this way idk...

how to revise for mock exams

for anyone with a mock too soon

start right now - weather you have months or days left till that exam the sooner you start preparing the better - little and often my dudes little and often

make a list - have a game plan of sort, don't throw yourself into the deep end and ultimately become overwhelmed

use good study techniques - active recall ftw passive revision just ain't it no more

practice practice practice - if you think you've done enough questions, do some more

harder topics come first - prioritize them, ask yourself: 'if the exam were tomorrow what topic would i be least confident with?'

make a timetable if that's your style - structure your revision and make sure you've covered everything that could come up

you got this, good luck! <3

studying in the afternoon

for the morning people :3

as a wise man once said hydrate caffeinate and something else idk, seemingly obvious but caffeine = energy

just don't drink it in the morning and save it for when you reach the afternoon slump

walking or any other form of vague movement can really help, especially if the weathers good it can make you feel alive - nothing too strenuous tho

start with easier tasks and work in pomodoro sessions

finally a good old napping session may be what you need, le infamous power nap for extreme tiredness

the two minute rule

for people who find it hard to s t a r t things

so it boils down to:

picking a task e.g writing an essay, doing math homework or doing a set of practice problems

setting a timer for 2 minutes

telling yourself you're going to work till the timer goes off

this way you've over come the 'activation energy' needed to start the task and everything becomes less daunting somehow - try it out and see if it helps you <3

if I have debugged faster than others it was by standing upon the shoulders of stackoverflow

we can only see a short distance, but plenty there that needs to be done said Turing once upon a time also swipe for some randomness :3
