The current stack I’m facing. I have 4 essays due this semester as well as the first section of my dissertation. So far the productivity has been good as long as I schedule regular breaks in. May study in a cafe later.

I’ve seen a lot of posts about this, but I felt like they were very vague, and I just found out how to actually do this, so here’s a step-by-step guide on how to actually take notes from your textbook.

Read the chapter/section through I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!1!1!! Before you do anything, read through the text and understand it properly, do the exercises and Make. Sure. You. Understand. What. You’re. Reading. There’s no point making notes when you have no idea what you’re doing.

Highlight key words Note: key words, not phrases, words. When you’re doing this, read it ‘out loud’ in your brain or actually read it out loud. Think of what you would emphasise if you were teaching this material to someone, or thing of what your teacher/professor would emphasise in a lecture. Highlight these emphasised words. If there’s a really really really important phrase, sure, highlight it, but make sure that you do this very sparingly.

Using those key words as a focus point, create questions from the information. Rather than reading the text again and then making questions, look at the key word and make your question focus on that specific word. For example, if the phrase is ‘An impure substance starts to melt at a lower temperature than the pure substance’, and you’ve highlighted ‘lower’, your question should be How do impurities affect the melting point of a substance? The answer to this question is that key word.

Simply answer those questions when you make your notes. I’ve been facing a huge problem with my notes- they have large blocks of text which don’t have enough information in them. When you make your notes, have it so that the answers to your questions are the content in your notes. Include diagrams, statistics and stuff, but for the content itself, use these answers. This will prevent large blocks of text and will make your notes much more info-packed.

Have you ever forgotten how to conjugate a verb into its て form? Or maybe you came across the particle に in your textbook and got interested in reading about all of its uses. Perhaps you are just trying to look up some grammar points that you’ve never heard before. There are many different websites explaining the same grammar point, but finding the kind of explanation you were looking for can be…

I’m doing Economics homework and there are these points on what makes a good questionnaire, you know for a survey. There’s a point on simplicity which says “Mathematical questions must be avoided.”
