Heya crafty people!! after deciding my topic now its time to do some research on it. For this I've to make visual diary /log book/ journal diary what ever you call it !! to keep all of my research work in it.. 

bye for now keep crafting people.. 

Self-care is NOT selfish. It’s more than okay to take care of yourself! Please do. 

Let people know that you are overwhelmed. People are really understanding and they want you to take care of yourself. Chances are they’ll make suggestions or check in to see how you’re doing. People want to be helpful so don’t be afraid to ask for things. Need an extension on that paper? Ask your professor. 

Have some time to yourself. Spending some time alone can help you de-stress.

Nurture yourself. Do something that you don’t normally get to do. If you like being in the outdoors, go out for a walk. Listen to some music, exercise, watch a movie, read a book, etc.

Re-prioritize, it’s okay to come back to things later. 

1. Mnemonic Devices

acronyms

abbreviations

rhymes and songs

gimmicks 

keyword

2. Mental Imagery 

Imagine what you’re trying to recall or yourself engaging with the material. 

3. Self-Recitation 

Repetition and rehearsal help with speed, accuracy, and confidence. 

4. Organization, Association, Relating

New information is easier to retrieve when it’s organized according to a pattern. Relate it to something you already know and you’re bound to remember more!

Some General Strategies:

Note cards, great for foreign languages

Recreate graphs and charts, this works great for social sciences
