not a fan of fancy planner pero gusto mong maging organized?

Malaking tulong ang flash cards unang una napaka handy niya. pwedeng dalhin kahit saan. kahit nasa bus, nasa galaan, nasa bahay, dorm kahit sa CR ka pa! And dahil pwede mo siya i-shuffle, na pprevent ng mga students na i-memorize lang yung pagkakasunod ng items ng isang mahabang list. So, kahit bali-baligtarin yan, kaya mo pa rin masagutan yung questions.

Mas nakakagana mag-aral kung maayos at may sistema ang inaaral. use colored pens for keywords. Sticky notes for illustrations. draw an arrow for side notes. gumamit ng bullets, diagrams and symbols. keep your notes concise. i-avoid ang napakaraming words. summarize!

Sa paggamit ng planner, na-ttrack mo yung progress na nagagawa mo. helpful din siya sa pag-remind sayo ng mga gagawin since naka-sulat na siya. Na iimprove mo ang time management and malay mo ma-reveal ang artsy side mo kahit nasa science/medicine/engineering ang field mo. Kahit na puro smart phones na ang uso ngayon to record everything (like things to do), iba parin ang satisfaction na nagagawa ng isang planner.

Noong pharmacy student pa ako, may mga times na you can’t keep up with the lesson lalo sa pharmacology. di talaga maiiwasan yung scenario na, “huh? anong sabi ng prof?” o di kaya “may quiz kinabukasan eh wala nga akong naintindihan sa discussion”. ang ginagawa ko nung college ay niyyoutube ko siya. Since mahilig tayo mag-internet, why not use it as a learning tool also. karamihan sa mga educational youtube channels ay nag pprovide ng tutorials less than 10 minutes pero maiiintindihan mo talaga.
