friday 27.9.19 - 15/100 days of productivity

Anyway as I'm trying to get my life back on track, I've decided to set some reminders on my phone so I don't forget to post on here. So hopefully that'll result in some more activity from me

A Little Update!

I have been offline for a really long time 😫 it’s just that I’ve been really busy with finals and college exams!! I’ll start posting more of my#bujo pics from now on ❤️

http://amzn.to/2mtnw9PHi! Thanks for the question. As for making my notes neat and preventing scribbles everywhere, I would say not to be too worried about making little notes. I rewrite my notes multiple times, because for me it helps me learn the content better than if I were to re-read it. Once I’ve done my basic notes I’ll kind of map it out the pages for my nicer version, which helps keep it a little more organised. For each module of a class I will take my notes essentially four times in total:

1. From the lecture slides as standard notes where I’m free to highlight and colour code where need be (before the lecture for that section)2. During the lecture on my laptop as the professor speaks (though I’ll occasionally use a spare notebook if the lecture is diagram heavy)3. As a nice copy of my notes where I can both combine and condense the information. This causes me to read it critically and find the most important information (I’ll generally turn 5-10 pages into one nice page)4. I make flashcards, which can be used at exam time if I want to, but again this helps to be critical with what is important.

In terms of storage, I put all of my paper notes in a binder and separate them by module with standard notes before the nice notes and I keep the flash cards in a document box.

The supplies I used most often for my standard notes:
