Best Study Techniques

Blurting: By far, blurting is my favourite way to study. By using this method we could find our knowledge gaps and focus on them.

Quizzing Yourself: Quizzing yourself using flashcards or the app Quizlet could be extremely helpful as you are gamified your studies and make it fun. Your main motive, while using flashcards, should be to recall the information as fast as you could and get it to A 100%.

Feynman Technique: Feynman Technique is basically pretending to teach yourself or a kid in simplest words, which could be used for subjects such as History and Biology to find your knowledge gaps.

Moderate Study Techniques

Highlighting the important text so that you don't have to waste time on unnecessary text.

Re-reading your notes won't be much effective as you will only be reading your text and actually won't be able to digest the content.

i don't usually post about academic things going on in my life, but this week has meant so much to me.

for reasons i'm still trying to understand, i was allowed to study a language (alongside my original program). long story short, my research is centered on plague history in Ireland. this, of course, is inseparable from the violent colonialism imposed on Ireland, and the reflections of this are so evident everywhere you look. nothing can be said about history as a whole that does not also state something about your values or politics; they are so closely intwined. i also believe that language is such a precious medium of such history - language is the lifeblood of culture. to research and rely on translations means that so much of what you could see is lost, you're stuck in the valley between observation and understanding. i want to understand.

it would also be so hypocritical of me to say this while still relying on solely english to communicate this research, which is why i am so grateful my supervisor has been so supportive. my goal in the end is to produce a semi-bilingual thesis, to hold the space and respect for the evolution of Irish through the age i am studying. there are so many feelings i have about it and hope to share them as i have the words but this is all i have for now :)

"Keep a planner" is actually good advice for ppl with adhd

Not invalidating those who do not benefit from a planner. Your experiences are valid

But im just saying it doesn't hurt to try. I didn't think it would help me either and it did.

If planners don't help,

• to do list on your phone. Download the nikki kawaii notes app. It has a to-do list. And the app is cute and gives u free stickers/cards/ect to use in the app every time u log in

• study bunny app. Has a little bunny that you take care of by the amount of time you spend studying. I think it may have a flashcard section? You earn coins by putting on the stop watch and studying. Every 5 or so minutes, you earn coins which u can use to customize your bunny and their room

• set aside a notebook and use it for studying. But make it a study game. Like a board game.

• force yourself to hyperfixate on your work. It may not work but it might. Worth a try.

• try to finish smaller assignments early so you can focus on bigger ones. I do all my homework for the week on Monday (im in college and its all online as well as in person so it may not work if you're in a different situation). It takes most of the afternoon but it's worth it. Then i spend the rest of the week on studying, working on projects, ect.

If this doesn't work, pehaps a point system. Rank assignments based on how much time you will spend on them (1 being small and 5 being big projects or papers). Divide the assignments into each day of the week or each day that you plan to work on the assignments.

• always write down your due dates

• keeping a planner. I already say this. It helps with memory but also with motivation because when you cross smthn off your list, you can physically see what you've completed and feel accomplished

• i believe there are many study games online that you can make ?

• pretend to procrastinate. Say "ill do this assignment tomorrow". Then after you complete all of the assignments you plan to do that day, say " well... I might as well work on tomorrow's work". Results may vary
