a list of small study tips

these are small things you can add to your day to be 10% more productive with the estimated time it’ll take! these are things i do (or try to do) most days. they’re small enough to feel manageable, and i for sure don’t use all of them but i find that when i use at least 2-3 in a day i feel a lot better about the material.

retype notes in google docs (10-15 min/1 hour lecture)

Utilize pomodoro technique for at least one subject (25 min work/5 min break. total 30 min)

Look over notes before class (5 min)

Look over notes after class (5 min)

Make notecard summary after class (i find this one especially useful for calculus!) (10 min/notecard)

Explain short concept to a friend (10 min max)

write down to-do list of tasks (5 min)

Go over concepts in your head on your walk to class (absolute FAVORITE because of my daily calculus quizzes within the first 10 minutes of class) (as long as your walk is!)

i hope these are helpful, i need to learn more small tips myself too 😊

since i posted an advice post for getting a 5 on the ap, i thought i’d share a whole bunch of extremely helpful resources for you guys! :+)

Taking notes on how to restructure my introduction 📑 | ig: @sarahboparah

🎧 ASMR - Forest Creek Sounds (x)

things i need to remind myself

when feeling insecure or scared that someone will hurt me, focus energy on trust 

not every feeling is urgent; taking proper time to process emotions can help with productive communication & resolve issues or feelings efficiently 

validate & affirm myself before seeking validation or affirmation from others; self-esteem comes from within & is an internal process, focus on the root & try to think of times where i was validated or affirmed without seeking it 

in response to not knowing what is going on or what is going to happen being a stressor, practice being in the present moment

please set a good example
