coastal studies

1. arrange your material into different blocks

2. after reading through each block, close the page/your laptop and summarize the content out loud, as if you were teaching it to someone. this is how the neural connections in your brain begin to form!

3. when you’re done, ask yourself questions based on the material — what could potentially be asked in an exam? what was the most relevant information?

4. put these questions and the most crucial information on a flash card, the most effective way of doing this is using a spaced repetition system like anki

do stuff while waiting for other stuff

like that sounds intuitive and vague but so much of the day is spent in a period of wait and if you struggle to motivate yourself to do things then this is the best time

waiting for your water to boil? bag up your garbage. waiting for your coffee to drip? wipe down your counters. roommate taking up the bathroom? scoop the cat box. waiting for your food to cook in the microwave? do however many dishes you can while it’s in there.
