helpful apps
i know there are a million of these posts out there but hereâs a personalized one for the apps that i find helpful during the school year! i wonât mention stuff like forest or duolingo bc obv we all know about those.Â
1. pocket schedule - this is my go-to new app for glancing at my schedule. because i am a disaster of a human being, my first few weeks of class are spent continuously checking back on the student website for my timetable in order to figure out what room number iâm in. pocket schedule is a basic timetable and also lets you add in tasks and assignments.Â
2. overdrive/libby- overdrive has saved my goddamn life. i RARELY have time to go to the library (just look at my library fines, lmao) and when i do i usually get way too much that i donât read. if you download libby or overdrive you can access your libraryâs ebook selection. if i remember correctly libby also has audiobooks for those like me who walk everywhere.Â
3. onenote- perfect for a digital bujo if the regular bujo doesnât work for you. itâs easier to look at on a laptop but i like to check my habit tracker if iâm waiting in line for food or on the bus.Â
4. bear- a simple and clean writing app. mostly used for grocery lists. can also be used as a diary if thatâs your thing.
5. daylio- a mood journal in which you can track your mood over the course of several months. an awesome tool if you go to therapy and need to check yourself daily.

When to use flash cards: memorizing words/vocab, numbers, equations, names, dates, and verbatim facts or lines.
When to use mnemonic devices: memorizing steps of a process or sets of facts/information/people, especially in an order.
When to use concept maps or drawings: learning (rather than memorizing) relationships, processes, concepts, systems, etc.
When to use tables or charts: learning or memorizing systems (eg. conjugation in a foreign language), sets of sets of information (eg. people and when they lived and what they did), and other large/complex groups of information.
When to use songs: for learning or memorizing anything.
Disclaimer: this is a general guideline. If something else works for you, do it!

Annotation
Make sure to read the poem at least 3 times over. Skim once, and read twice. Skim and read once each if you donât think you have enough time. Donât let the length of it to intimidate you. Annotate anything that will help you to answer the question. Answering the question, aside from literary devices on their own, is the most important. Be selective about the quotes and literary devices you find, and which ones you can write about more.

plan out your studying
donât try to cram the night before (10/10 would not recommend). figure out when the test is, and plan + space out your study sessions. review the materials several times per week and make sure you have all the topics covered.
review what you learned in class that same day
the information will be fresh in your mind, and youâll have a higher chance of remembering it too.
figure out the most important information + study them
whatâs the most relevant information? what concepts are important? make sure you know them by heart because those are what will have the most points on the test. donât hesitate to ask your teacher about what will be on the test.
make a study sheet or a mind map
if you can summarize and consolidate all the information you need to know on a single sheet of paper, you should be good to go. youâll be able to quickly review the topic + youâll be able to use it to study for your midterms or finals later on.
get a good nightâs sleep + eat a healthy breakfast
you wonât feel tired and hungry, and youâll be able to concentrate better.
for last minute cramming:
make a study set on a flashcard website such as quizlet and play the games that they generate from the cards.
try making up a song or mnemonic to help you memorize
study out loud. actually speak the words out loud and record yourself. listen to yourself. this way, youâll be reading, thinking, listening to, and saying the subject at the same time.
use every bit of spare time that you have. go through your notes on the bus, listen to the recordings that you made, skim through your textbook before class starts, etc etc
look at the end of the chapter in your textbook (if you have one). itâll typically list out all the main topics + important words to know
visualize yourself succeeding. thereâs been a study on students that shows a correlation between a negative outlook and not-so-great test scores
donât forget to sleep!! if you stay up all night, youâll only end up being tired and doze during the test (and that leads to silly mistakes)
hope this helped, and good luck!

Eintseinâs November 2018 Wallpapers
Hey guys, so itâs the beginning of the month (well, actually 2 days late but whatever) and almost the end of 2018. Wow.
But yeah, Iâve made some wallpapers for yâall! Again, went for a less illustration-based design because Iâm kinda trying to train my - idek what to call it - layout/graphic design skills (?) I think you know what I mean⊠but anyway
Download Nov 2018 Wallpapers Here!
Donât forget to tag me with #eintsein when you use them; Iâd love to see them in action!
Hope you all have a great month ahead of you. Stay safe, stay healthy, stay motivated!
xx Jo
P.S. probably wonât be making phone versions of these, bc again, busy college student. plus these designs in particular donât translate well to phone screens, so itâd be more work than just resizes and mild rearrangements. but if any of you want to make phone versions of these on your own, Iâd be happy to send you the psd/relevant details!
