#neat notes

[magpiecollectingknowledge]

Some work from this week - I’ve got an awful cold and it’s making focusing more difficult but assignments still gotta be done sadly 😭

The top images are of me editing another essay, as that seemed popular before, so I hope you enjoy them.

Happy holidays !

HI FRIENDS

I hope you’re all feeling very proud of yourselves for getting through 2020 - you should be! 

Wishing everyone a lovely amazing beautiful year ahead filled with hope and growth <3 

In other news, I’m flying back to London in a measly five days, and I’m ready to get my head back in the uni game with fun practicals and all my amazing friends :) I’m a bit nervous because the global situation is still so uncertain, but I’m trying to stay optimistic.

As always, please send in your asks/messages/comments and feel free to come say hi to me whenever - I don’t bite and I always love hearing from you guys :p

I hope everyone's okay and safe...

Hope you guys have a good day!

Practice mindfulness! This will increase your motivation and help to decrease your stress.

Create a to-do list every day, aim to get 2-3 big tasks done a day to remain productive.

Remove all distractions when trying to work. Remove phones, laptops, tv, children/siblings, etc, from the room you are studying in (unless you genuinely need them to study).

STOP MULTITASKING! Studies have shown that you actually waste time by switching between tasks (a loss of up to 40% of your time). Multitasking is also linked to poor mental health. Take your time on one task at a time and get them done quicker and more efficiently.

Have a de-stress day at least 1-2 times a week. This will ensure you aren't stressing yourself out and giving yourself student burnout. It will also help you with motivation and efficiency when studying.

Keep a diary! Keeping your time organised, eliminates unnecessary stress and helps you to get things done.

Keep your study area clean. Less physical clutter translates to less mental clutter.

Study every day. This will ensure continuous learning and solidifying information in your brain (if you're studying correctly in the first place).

Figure out your learning style. There are so many learning styles. Figuring out yours will help you study more efficiently and learn concepts faster. I am more of a visual learner, so I really benefit from diagrams and visually interesting videos.

Don’t forget to take breaks. I try to enforce 3 hours of solid study time a day, broken up by 5-10 minute breaks, every 20-30 minutes. Breaks give your brain time to absorb new knowledge, as well as to relax and not get too worn out.

No last-minute study! Give yourself time to learn and actually understand concepts. Last-minute study just leads to stress and can also cause you to forget previously learned information.

Flow charts and diagrams are a lifesaver! When done correctly they can help solidify information, make connections between topics, and perfectly summarise your content.

Try teaching others. Learning from teaching is so helpful, it solidifies information in your brain, whilst also helping others.

These are just some study tips that help me. There are a lot more to add but these are just the main ones I live by lol! Feel free to add your own in the comments or when reblogging. 

Are there any study tips that I should check out or add to my own routine? I’m always down to learn more study tips :) <3
