using this as inspiration to do it now so I can be happy later (ie tomorrow night at 2 AM not regretting my decisions)

You're not always going to be motivated. So you must learn to be disciplined.

scenes from a visit to my favorite off-campus cafe

27 APRIL 2024 | 74/100 DAYS OF PRODUCTIVITY

got to visit my favorite off-campus cafe! it's a 30 minute bus ride from my apartment and doesn't have great wifi, but the trek is always worth it

got through content revision for 3 chapters of human physiology for my exam on tuesday

was at the cafe from 11am-5pm

came home, did some chores around the apartment, and got ready for my friend's 21st birthday party! bc work-life balance

your notion setup is so organized!!

I saw that you use a tablet, a desktop, and paper notes. How do you conciliate those notes?

Is there a mechanism of making primary notes on one resource and then passing those notes to other while reviewing them?

hi! thanks so much for asking! here are my favorite methods for sharing notes between devices :). i personally have apple devices so i can fairly easily airdrop and sync things between devices, but i also frequently work at the library desktop computers where i can't do that! so here's my tips and tricks for sharing notes between devices

for context: i've been mostly doing digital notetaking recently, but i also like to scan my paper notes as well!

i'm going to be dividing this post into 2 methods! (there will be some overlap). syncing already written notes and syncing notes (in progress) between devices

for already written notes:

the first step i would take is export your notes as a pdf or any other file type. if they're handwritten try going into your notes app (for ios) or downloading a pdf scanner app for your phone! if your notes are digital check the sharing options in your app to see if there's anything about "exporting".

personally, i like to use either discord or notion. i have created a discord server with only myself that i use just for sharing links/files/anything between devices! i like discord because there's apps for pc, mac, tablets, and phones; and even a web app! discord is really nice and fast, and you can make different channels (as pictured below) for organization. as long as your file size isn't too big, you should be fine.

my second app i like to use is notion! notion is such a beast in itself, but i like to use it to upload files and images and links! below are two ways i have used it: to upload pdfs/files, and to upload goodnotes (my notetaking app) links to the pages i'm writing on! similar to discord, notion has apps for all devices, but it also works great just by itself on the website (no app required)! it's really great to access it from all my devices.

another way you could share your notes on different devices is through the cloud! (yes, discord and notion are both through the cloud). google drive, microsoft onedrive, icloud storage, etc. are great tools that you can use to upload files and see on multiple devices. i personally like discord and notion more, just because they're already apps i frequently use, but if you can't get either one cloud-based storage platforms are also a great idea! they definitely have more security than discord or notion, because your files may be at risk of being deleted!

for the purposes of sharing notes to reference on another device when writing an essay, or something of similar vain, i really love discord and/or notion and they both work great!

for syncing notes in real time:

pretty similar to the last one, i would say notion or google docs (or microsoft word on the web i believe has similar functionality, or onenote, anything similar!)

if you want to be writing notes on one device and have them sync up quickly on another - i think any word processing software is the best bet for you.

both notion and google docs you can access them on any device, and/or on their websites too!

google docs is a lot more straightforward, but since notion is so powerful it provides a lot of flexibility for your notes! here's an (old) example of notes i've taken on notion. (i personally really like how easy it is to make columns!)

i hope this helped a little bit! please let me know if you have any more questions :)

also! notetaking is very much an individual thing, if something works for me and doesn't work for you - that's okay! we're all learning and just have to figure out what's best for ourselves.

sunny days at the office

[briteenystudy]

good morning!!! we are f2f this week so my body’s adjusting again gaaah. but it has been fun so far, and productive!! i only have morning classes, then i’ll hit the gym before i go home and attend my online afternoon classes 🥳

photos are from the café my friend and i tried and although the coffee is good, no sugar, the place was just too warm and quiet. not conducive for studying.

biochem exam this week! Drawing out glycolysis has become part of my night routine 🥲

I had been feeling post spring break blues, but realized that spending time with people, with friends, is what reenergizes me. What do you do to recharge?

[briteenystudy]

now onto keeping up with MCAT studying plan ☕️
