Hiii!! I've way tooo many empty notebooks with me and i ordered again after seeing your post where you added the links to notebooks (i am sooo grateful to you for that link ❤️) now please please suggest me what to do with these notebooks. I'm out of ideas and i just don't know what to write and how to start with 🥲

things to put in empty notebooks —

quotes you like

a daily journal

art. it doesn’t have to be good art, just art that makes you happy

or doodles

and by the same logic, poetry

make a scrapbook

a reading log

or a movie log

lyrics to your favourite songs

poetry you like

recipes

daily tracker/planner

travel journal

research on random things

make up a comic book

write stories

bullet journal

braindump

a plain old diary

a collage of photos you like

lists! reading lists, movie lists, shopping lists, bucket lists

this is not exhaustive, and just try to have as much fun with your notebooks!

[transcript is under the cut!!]

syllabus organization

my notion template alicia wong’s video on revision tracking [she has a template in her description!]

on timetables : a video timetable maker [blank] [another one] study planner [elaborate] [alternate]

some other posts that i thought were great <3 in one month dealing w/ anxiety revision tips

image id 1: tips for studying for finals, [ ones that don't need you to have been studying the whole year ]

image id 2: know your syllabus : your syllabus is the first thing you should know about your exams! knowing what's coming is 30% of the process completed.ask your teachers / check your course material for any priority hints - i.e weightage tables, repeated questions, etc.split your syllabus into what you need to do first and when you need to finish it. schedule remedial sessions w/ your teachers or ask your friends for help on topics you don't know about.make a revision plan/ to-do list / timetable.

image id 3: make a timetable: trust me, it helps. don't just make a random schedule, base it on your strengths and weaknesses. for example, i'd spend more hours on a math lesson and less than half an hour on an english lesson, and i'd need a timetable that schedules accordinglymake your schedule flexible!! don't schedule it down to every minute, be realistic and give yourself breaks. you can draw a timetable, or you can use a website to help you make one![links of some websites + software i love below!!]

image id 4: start studying ! and good luck

honestly really hate how most of the people i follow on social media now “act” like influencers. how my friends will pose in the most outlandish poses i know they didn’t come up with and how they will film their hotel stays and beach vacation days and post it to their stories with some shitty dubstep over it like they’re filming an ad or something. how one of my friend groups gathered at this bar instead of the other because “this one will give us better pics” honestly just hate all of it

Study Motivators That Work

The 3 Minute Rule

When you have a task that you don't want to complete, just get started and keep going for 3 minutes. If you still don't want to complete the task after 3 minutes, stop and start another task

This method can be very challenging during the initial stages of trying it

When you procrastinate, you tend to find something else to do first to dodge the main task at hand

This rule forces you to immediately avoid any deviation from completing the task for 3 solid minutes with the option to stop after those 3 minutes

Discipline plays a crucial role in this motivation technique as starting the 3 minutes requires you to overcome procrastination

Something that helps in this process is trying to slightly mentally detach yourself from the situation to have an objective view on it

You need to look at the situation and acknowledge that you have the freedom to stop the task after 3 minutes if you truly cannot complete it and that you absolutely must start the task immediately

Often times, I keep going once I start which results in significantly improved productivity

Flexibile Schedules

Often times, I plan out the perfect study and work session with my tasks and times detailed to the second

However, sometimes, life gets in the way of these plans and I'm forced to reschedule everything

Something like this can be extremely demotivating, especially if your day revolved around your very detailed plan

To help solve such issues, there are 2 options for 2 different scenarios

The first option is to prevent the situation from occurring at all

Extremely rigid and detailed plans are very easy to disrupt

Preventing the situation would be done by outlining more flexible study and work plans that can be done at most times and don't rely on strict timings (I will post another article on creating a flexible and functional study schedule)

The second option is how to move forward if you do find yourself in a situation where your study plans have been disrupted and you're demotivated

In this instance, the first step is to list the topics you need to cover and sort them from most important to least important

Estimate how much time each topic will take and look at how much time you have available

Evaluate if the time you have available is adequate to completely cover all of your listed topics

If not, choose as many topics with the greatest priority that will be able to be completed within your available time

Remember, these steps should be completed within 5 minutes at most to prevent you from losing any more time

There's always a plan for every situation. It just needs to be found.

Justify It

If you truly feel like there's no reason to compete the task, find a reason

If the task is important enough for you to lament over it, it's certainly important enough for you to complete it as soon as possible

Clear your mind of any frustration and just relax

Think of what the purpose of the task is

Do you need to complete an assignment that will be a part of your final grade?

Do you need to complete a report for your job?

Will this benefit you in the future - near or far?

If you need to study, what is your end goal?

When I hesitate with my studying, I always remind myself that what I'm learning now will one day help me improve as a doctor

Once you identify a reason, act on it and complete the task

The reason will help you sense that what you're doing has meaning and purpose, making the task less of an inconvenience and more of a duty

Knowledge is always valuable.
