✿ 24/10/15 ✿ Spending my Saturday with productivity. Currently writing my Law and Society notes as well as revising my Maths topics. I have such a busy weekend ahead of me and I’m super excited to write and finish all my notes!
yep… Biology again (⌒▽⌒) I’m so in love with this subject that studying for it is like taking a break from everything happening around me 😳 Its so nice to do something you enjoy, and that you’re passionate about ＼(^o^)／🌿✨
Hey guys! Today I have a post telling you what to do when you don’t want to study or do homework when you have to. I know that I sometimes struggle with this, so here is a list of what I like to do to motivate myself.
1. Get a snack.
While they can sometimes be distracting, sometimes healthy snacks or warm beverages can make studying a little more enjoyable. Make some tea, go to Starbucks, or get some fruit.
2. Play some music.
It’s good to give your mind something else to focus on while doing something unpleasant, and music is perfect for that! Just make sure the songs you listen to don’t have lyrics in them, as this can be too distracting. I like to look up study or instrumental playlists on apps like Spotify or Soundcloud. If you have any good playlist recommendations, please add them to this post!
3. Come up with a reward.
Tell yourself that once you finish studying or doing homework, you can do something fun. Some examples are taking a photo for your blog, making your favourite dinner, playing with your dog, or anything you like.
4. Get a study buddy.
It helps to have a friend to study with to make it more interesting. Also, when you study with a friend, you can ask each other questions about things you don’t understand or quiz each other.
5. Change it up
If you always study in your room, consider moving to the kitchen. Maybe go to the library and study there. Study on the floor instead of a desk. Whatever works for you.
That’s it! I hope this helped. Feel free to reblog this post and add any points!

Note-Taking
Hey guys! So I’ve been receiving questions regarding my note-taking style and strategy for quite some time now but I believe I have never answered them in detail. The good news is, I finally decided to make a post about this (plus, I had fun making the graphics :D). Note that I am a visual learner, so my note-taking methods may not be effective for some of you, but I hope you can all learn something.
Class Notes
I only use one notebook for all my class notes, an A4 grid notebook whose pages I divide into two columns.
I use the outline method for in-class notes, which means I write information chronologically, in the order that they are taught. Some teachers do not have properly structured presentations/lessons (good thing my physics teacher does) so when in need, I use arrows to connect related information.
Abbreviations to me are one of the most important things to master when taking notes. I personally make them up as I go along. Some examples of abbreviations I use are:
w/c - which
w/ - with
cpd - compound
envt - environment
digenz - digestive enzyme
It might be confusing, but to me, knowing the context and part of speech are enough for all abbreviations to be comprehended.
Here’s an example: ‘Indonesia’s tsunami pre-warning system is made up of two types of components’ could become ‘Indo’s snmi pre-warn sys 2 type comp’.
After Class
The first thing I would do is highlight keywords and terminology (and sometimes formulas). For physics, since my teacher is relatively succinct, I don’t really highlight, but for humanities and biology, I look for words that would be expected by a mark scheme, words that are crucial to the understanding of each particular piece of information.
I would then check if the material taught coincides with the syllabus, and if not, note down any points that are missing or have yet to be taught. You could write these on a post it or on the syllabus itself, but I prefer to highlight the syllabus’ pdf file.
Rewritten Notes
My rewritten notes are arranged based on the order they appear in the syllabus unless there are pieces of information that are related to more than one topic.
I use a black pen for rewriting notes as well as colored pens to write keywords and terminology only. I know some people who write whole sentences in colored pens but to me that is ineffective; we all have our own learning styles. When making tables, I usually use different colors for different columns (see the table for different types of radiation above) which is most often the color I associate with each word. For example, water would be blue, ocean would be a darker shade, ice would be a lighter shade, and water vapor would be purple.
I still abbreviate words in my rewritten notes, but they’re not as condensed as the ones in my class notes. Another thing I find helpful is leaving a bit of space between separate points especially if the page doesn’t have a lot of diagrams. I can’t think linearly, so I can’t remember super lengthy bullet points.
I use mildliners and a drawing pen to make my diagrams (more of these in my biology notes) but I only start with pencil if it’s a complex diagram. I rarely highlight my rewritten notes, but even if I do, it’s usually only the headings and formulas.
I don’t have a rough draft for my notes, but I try to visualize the layout. I try to alternate between words and pictures/diagrams so that when I’m sitting for an exam, all I have to do is imagine that I’m looking at that page and I can remember where everything is.
Well, that’s all from me. I hope that this information could be of some use to every single one of you. Don’t hesitate to ask me questions if you’re confused about note-taking or any other problems you might have :)
💭 yesss! after english and a long writing session i can finally let myself sink into bed and catch up on adventure time!
todays stuff yay i revised my chemics notes and french voc and now gonna chill for the rest of the day 🤓
i may not survive this weekend so wish me luck guys. it’s time to finally sit down and get my shit together. let’s see how it goes…
How 2 semesters - 2500 pages - 5 exams in law school flashcards look like :’) they are the best tool for revision! I’m saving them for my bar exam as well. Would anyone want to see a post on how I organize them? Do you use flaschards? 💙 🎓 📖
16.04 // Working on my Aristotle paper
13/100 days of productivity - this week is exam week! super tired but spending some time going over my notes and making a list of which topics I’m not feeling confident for so I can make sure to focus on them tomorrow (ps I am aware I highlight like crazy but idk it works for me)
Messy desk - messy life :D
Not quite fits into neat studyblr aestethics, but who cares :p
When you got plans to read on the train, but end up sleeping the whole way… •work hard • sleep later •
