Step 1: be present, be mindful.

Understand what you want, what is worth the fight.

And what I mean by that is finding your true motive (whether it is passion for what you’re learning or passing a class), because often we strive towards this perception of success that doesn’t feel like success. It feels like you are constantly under a spotlight and constantly having to prove yourself to others.

High grades make you feel good but that’s nothing compared to being happy with yourself and with what you’re doing. So make that distinguishment.

Step 2: be very practical and realistic.

What do you have to do and in how much time? Divide tasks by the period of time, without letting stress blur out that mindfulness, through method and simplicity.

Step 3: Be disciplined the following days until the exam without getting too strict with yourself.

“What is soft is strong.” (Lao Tzu)

Strive to create softness and ease throughout the days, get your tasks done but find time for play, rest, presence of mind.

Avoid overworking by starting early or as soon as you can and by working smartly and doing the most important things first, even if you’ve been dreading them.

Bonus Step:

Hello, people! The time has come: I will teach you the secret to study for three days and remember everything for your test. This is a hardcore studying session so I would recommend to only do it when you are truly freaking the fuck out. Now, I must tell you: It’s gonna involve some hard work, so sit comfortably because we’re about to start:

REMINDER: YOU DON’T NEED TO DO THIS IN A ROLL. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE DURING THE  COURSE OF THE DAY. 

REMINDER 2: REMEMBER TO EAT, DRINK WATER AND GET ENOUGH REST. YOU DON’T NEED TO FORGET ABOUT YOUR HEALTH IN ORDER TO GET BETTER GRADES. 

DAY 1

First reading of your main textbook

Second reading + highlighting 

Research more about the topic (internet, other books, talk to your friends, etc)

Resume everything (notes)

Do a mind map of main points 

If what you’re studying needs something to be memorized “word by word” (such as: meanings, processes, references, chemical reactions, etc), write it down and put it on your wall. You’re gonna read it several times during the day. 

Write down the topics and key words on a reference paper (you’re gonna take this paper everywhere, forcing your memory to expand from those simple key words) 

Review your notes 

Do ten exercises (questions)

Review your notes + exercises 

Watch a video class 

You’re done for today. Good job. Now rest, tomorrow is a new day. 

DAY 2

Review your notes

Read them out loud

Read them again, but this time record yourself

Listen to it. Twice. 

Review your notes before bed

DAY 3

Review your notes + listen to your recordings from yesterday

Do 30 exercises (questions)

Review notes + exercises 

Listen to your recordings again

Review your notes one more time.

FANTASTIC JOB! Now it’s your time to rest. If you’re feeling like it, read your notes one more time before bed. 

One more time, this is a heavy studying session, and not supposed to be done all the time. Remember to take care of your health and take several breaks during the day. If you don’t need, there is no need to do everything listed here. 

Spotify has a ‘Spotify for Developers’ platform, which enables independent developers release cool ways for users to interact, visualize, and interpret their streaming history, current library, or any track of their choice. Here are some of my favorites:

Klangspektrum: Enables Spotify users to analyse their musical behaviour based on song attributes, such as their energy, danceability, or the levels of instruments

Discover Quickly: Pick a song, or an album, or an artist you like, and from there jump quickly to something you might like! It’ll automatically play, and from there you can decided if its your thing and add it to a playlist or like it, and if not, move on to the next!

Replayify: This is your Spotify Wrapped right at your fingertips, daily. You can see top artists, tracks, for all time, the past 6 months, or the past month. You can also see your recently played, down to the time and date. 

Playlist Souffle: Take any playlist you have, and mix it up. Playlist souffle takes playlists you have, and swaps out the songs with ones that are by the same artist, or on the same album. Same feel, different songs!

Musicscapes: Visualize your recent listens with a minimalistic landscape, and see how it changes when you listen to a few more!

Dubolt: Find music based on an artist you like, and narrow it down based on the vibe you’re looking for!

Mangomoji: Combine emojis together to find the song that fits the feeling you’re going for!

Setify: If you’re reminiscing on your last live event, you can go back in time to a concert or festival, and find a playlist with the setlist for the event!

Playlist Manager: Playlist Manager merges the songs of selected playlists into one view, allowing you to easily add and remove songs from different playlists.

Organize Your Music: You can organize all of your music or just subsets, and you can even slice and dice it by genre or energy, or other properties. It can help you categorize your music in ways you didn’t think you could.

How Bad Is Your Spotify: This fun, judgemental AI tells you how bad your Spotify really is. It will poke fun at you, and give you a horrifyingly accurate roast on your spotify and music choices.
