reminders for the overworked soul
you don’t need to be productive all the time
you don’t need to have productive breaks
expand your definition of “productive” to include non-academic things
don’t measure your worth by the number of things you do or how pretty your bujo is
remember to have fun and little breaks between work
you are studying/working to become more informed, to learn about the things that excite you - not to check off your to-do lists
you don’t need to monetise or make your hobbies productive; they are lovely on their own
you are lovely on your own
some study tips from my psychology teacher 📖
STOP Cramming
cramming is good for the short term, such as just before a test (i’m talking like an hour before), but shouldn’t be used as an effective study method. you only learn the information in the exact way you read it, so any practical application on your test won’t be easy to answer. you also will struggle with answering the same questions you studied for, but asked differently.
Spacing Effect
the spacing effect is essentially the opposite of cramming. instead of doing a 4 hour study session, break it up into groups of 30 minutes. do 30 minutes, take a nice long break, go back for 30, and repeat. that break in between gives your brain time to encode and store the information. this can be done in either one day, or over the course of a few days before the test.
Mnemonic devices are your best friend when dealing with lists of information
any sort of rhyming scheme, letter association, acronyms, etc. is proven to help you. any american can say ROY G. BIV and know exactly what they’re talking about, another example is HOMES for the great lakes. another major example is “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally”/PEMDAS for the order of operations. this helps with lists, i use it all the time in biology for stuff like the Levels of Classification or Characteristics of Living things. for AP Euro i remember “Descartes with a D” because he “Doubts and wrote Discorse on Method”.
Hierarchy Organizing for Midterms and Finals
by breaking information down into a hierarchy, you can figure out how to study all your chapters at once. these are often called “graphic organizers” and it takes the whole topic, then breaks it into subsections, then subsections of those subsections. here’s an example i found for my Memory unit
the whole unit is memory, the subtopics are sensory memory, short term, then long term. then comes the subdivisions of long term memory and so on. this is wonderful for study planning in regards to large information tests.
these are just some of the tips we talked about, and obviously they won’t work for everybody, but it’s really helped my studying process because it’s literally how the brain processes information best for long term storage and retrieval.

hello !! ok so today i want to share some of the things i’ve learnt in my years of being a languages student, particularly regarding vocab & grammar. i personally love learning languages and there are many obvious benefits, communication being one of the fundamental ones.
tbh vocab and grammar are probably the backbones of any language - they play a huge part in developing your translation, reading, writing, speaking and listening skills.
pt i: vocab
have a list. the simple act of writing is one of the most effective ways to retain information tbh ! it’s good to keep a seperate section / notebook / document for this so everything’s in one place & i personally like to keep prescribed textbook words and words i look up during translations / exercises in seperate places as well, for the sake of organisation. also you can flick back through later and feel accomplished :-)
flashcards. write the word in your language on one side and the translation + relevant grammar info on the other side, and use that to test yourself. quizlet + anki are great online flashcard tools !
mnemonics. short [or long!!] phrases / acronyms /stories are super useful, especially with words with multiple meanings or words which look annoyingly similar.
word / pictorial association. ok word association is obviously easier in languages of the same family because so many words look / sound similar but pictures are great too, especially for more visual learners.
this article contains some excellent tips for studying a language with a different alphabet
pt ii: grammar
make up chants / songs [hand gestures can help!!]
look for patterns.
take the french present tense -er verb endings: -e, -es, -e, -ons, -ez, -ent.
and the imperfect tense -er endings: -ais, -ais, -ait, -ions, -iez, -aient.
not too different right?? learn to spot these similarities + use them to your advantage !
repetition is key. sounds boring but repetition is one of the best ways to drill things into your brain; whether it’s verbally, mentally or just by writing out the entire table. i often repeat things over and over to myself whilst doing everyday activities like washing the dishes and it really helps.
learn the exceptions to the rule. because there are always exceptions. just learn them. i do recommend making summary notes or flashcards for harder concepts simply to gain a better understanding and also because you can look over them quickly & easily
also just !!! practice !!! often things make much more sense in context, so practice by doing exercises and translations
pt iii: general tips / links
read !!! reading exposes you to so much more culture + vocab and grammar in the way that it’s used in a day to day context
similar to above; watching tv shows / movies and listening to music is super fun too + develops listening and therefore speaking skills
practice practice practice. whether it’s just going over vocab or scanning through a text or listening to music or writing a short passage, try to engage with your target language on a daily basis. trust me, it helps a lot.
find a partner !!! learning new things with friends is so much less daunting + you can study together and motivate each other and maybe even travel together one day
apps / sites like duolingo, memrise, omniglot, babbel, bbclanguages and 101languages can make language learning more fun + engaging
+ some youtube channels !
each language is unique so for more specific resources, check out some of these masterposts: japanese, latin, spanish, chinese, italian, korean, french, swedish [etc]
remember: learning a language is hard. adapting your brain to understand a whole new set of words and rules is hard. it’s supposed to be hard. but it’s ok to make mistakes. it’s ok. you got this. and in the end, it’s so rewarding - knowing another language is a skill you’ll have for life. good luck + i hope this was useful !

tonight at the botany conference i was talking to this other undergrad i met whos super into aquatic plants and he was like ‘o have you ever seen the aquatic plant that looks like a net?? the managascar lace plant???’ and i was like ‘wait what the fuck what???’ and i looked it up and
the scientific name is Aponogeton madagascariensis. it has problems with algae growing over the gaps and blocking the actual photosynthic ‘netting’ tissue, which like…..i mean….i can see why like holy shit…..im honestly so jarred by this like that isn’t allowed! stop doing that!
tips to get rid of the fear of the blank page 📝
if you’re like me (and most students), when you have an essay or dissertation to start, or even when simply beginning a new section of your writing, the blank page can look overwhelmingly daunting. you procrastinate, you fiddle with the formatting, you do anything except what you should — that is, actually writing. here’s how i trick myself to get over this panic:
use a crappy notebook: it breaks your focus from the word document staring you in the eye. tell yourself, ‘i’ll just scribble down some notes here, no pressure’. don’t use a fancy one either! i often want to make the best use of my fancy notebooks, which in turn stresses me out in its own way.
write your notes in pencil, not pen - this ties in with my previous point, but your goal here is to make things feel as low-pressure and low-commitment as you can. embrace the messy handwriting!
write fast, almost stream-of-consciousness notes as if you were explaining what you know about the thing you’re writing about to someone else. it’s okay if you use informal language, just get the backbone of the information down on the page! try to think of everything you need to talk about to make your writing coherent.
bullet points and sectioning will make it easier to navigate your notes when polishing up the content for the final text, but again, don’t sweat it.
make a post-it note of things you need to look up/ask someone about later, but don’t get stuck on them when you start typing the final text, just insert a little note when writing, and be sure to make it stand out (i.e. use a different colour) so you don’t accidentally leave it in
you’ve done all of this, now all you need to do is rephrase your notes to make them sound fancy! don’t overthink this either, i find it preferable to come back to your text after a while and do the final editing with a fresher look. and congrats! you’re pretty much done! the trick is not overthinking it, and remembering:
done is always better than perfect.
This post contains condensed notes made from Marty Lobdell’s 1 hour long lecture (link’s here), which features many effective study techniques and tips.
1. TAKE BREAKS.
25-30 min of studying, followed by 5 min break (a.k.a. pomodoro technique). Once you get used to the load of studying, you can increase your time of one study session, just follow this rule:
“The moment you start to slide, you’re shovelling against the tide, what you need to do is what? Take a break.”
2. REWARD YOURSELF AFTER EVERY STUDY SESSION.
”Things that are reinforced, we tend to do more of. Things that are punished or ignored, we tend to do less of.”
To put it simply, rewarding yourself after every study session will make you more likely to study later.
3. GET A STUDY ENVIRONMENT.
Everybody has special rooms for sleeping, food making, bathing, etc., but who has a room for studying?? Not many. Well, obviously, not everyone can afford one, but there’re some tricks, which will help you to create a study environment.
Get a study lamp. ONLY turn it on while studying. DO NOT use it for other purposes.
If you’re studying in a room, which has bed (bedrooms, dorm rooms…), turn your desk away from your bed to face a blank wall.
The context provided by environmental cues largely determines your behavior, so create a study environment, which encourages you to study. Distracting cues’ examples: bedroom - sleeping cues (bed), kitchen - food cues, living room - TV, radio, people, etc. All these distractions prevent you from studying!!
4. KNOW THE CONCEPTS, NOT THE FACTS.
For example, it is like knowing the words of a song but not knowing what a song is about. FACTS = song lyrics, CONCEPT = song meaning. Facts can easily be looked up if needed.
5. USE STUDY GROUPS.
6. NO HIGHLIGHTING.
Or at least no highlighting after reading a text once.
7. TAKE NOTES.
Take notes during your class/lecture/etc.. After the class is finished, take out your notes the first free moment you’ve got and expand everything you’ve written. Give it some depth. If you do that like 2 (or more) hours after the class, you will have forgotten much of what you had written. So do this as soon as possible.
8. TEACH. TALK OUT LOUD.
One study showed that best way of studying is to do 80% of reciting and 20% of reading. So, teach others what you’ve learnt or dialogue with empty chairs if you have no one to teach. What you can teach, that you understand.
9. STUDY TEXTBOOKS USING SQ3R METHOD
Survey - go through an entire chapter, look at the pictures, graphs, questions… Question - While surveying, you might get some questions. If not, then ask yourself questions like: “What’s this?”, “What does this graph mean?”, etc. This will cause you to look for answers and “if you intend to find something, you find it.” Read - (20% of time) Recite - (80% of time) Review - after some time has passed.
10. USE MNEMONICS FOR FACT MEMORIZATION.
Because sometimes concept learning is not enough. :( Make acronyms, coined sayings, or interacting image associations to help yourself remember the facts. The weirder, the better.
