Annotating your work
Annotation means writing key information alongside your work. It can help to record your thoughts, keep your development on track and let others know what you have done and why.
Annotations can be added to artwork using a variety of formats:
Writing them next to work produced in a sketchbook
Writing on the back of the work – take care not to spoil the work by doing this
Writing them on separate presentation sheets
Creating a blog - taking photographs of the work at different stages and tagging the images with comments
Posting work on social media and adding comments

Use two notebooks when taking class notes (one for in class and one for at home) the one for class, make it messy with footnotes and subtext. the one at home, make it neat (these are the ones to study off of; easy to read and short)
Quizlets or kahoots
Write down your plans for the week
Put effort in your projects (trust me, it’s worth the time)
Make school life feel cliche and try to romanticize things (it works)
When you’re studying, rewrite your notes to match your own words
Relate the information to yourself and your life. If you have chalk, draw math formulas on pavement, match your physics to life situations, randomly say history facts when relevant
Study in shorter intervals and take a decent amount of breaks (ie, 30 minutes spent studying with a 15 minute break; don’t go on the internet during that break)
Have a routine. study for a period of time in the morning or study before bed (do this every day; even on the weekends)
Stay hydrated; drink water or tea (not to much coffee)
