13.09.2016 #septemberstudychallenge I can literally kill two bird with one stone here for day6 and day7. Stationary and study essentials. This is what I have in my pencil case ready for start of term. It's probably gonna change as the year goes on but for now I'm trying to have as little as possible while still having everything I need. So from left to right, a 15cm ruler that I've had for ages, just an ordinary pencil that came in a pack of ten for about 20p. My new blue staedtler pen that I bought for writing notes in class so they stand out from the black and white printed notes. And my four mini highlighters, again super cheap for a pack of ten. At the top I just have a couple of cool plastic arrow paperclips and some coloured metal binder clips. #stationery #stationary #student #day6 #day7 #minimalist #pencilcase #organised #studyblr #studyspo #studygram #staedtler #pens #pencil #highlighters #memo #desk #clean #white #love #aesthetic

09/09/2016 #septemberstudychallenge DAY 3: my planner, I'm currently trying to get used to the bullet journal, with a weekly spread, hoping that I get more use out of it once I start university on Tuesday! DAY 4: my lovely desk, my mum bought me this while I was away away to university last year awaytfter I decided I was coming home for my second year. I love it so much but it's still a work in progress as I should be moving it to the other side of my room shortly, and once that is done I'll be putting up the Cork board and the whiteboard which is behind the Cork one at the moment. Tagging again because I forgot to yesterday: @studytosuccess @studybreakdwn @studysmart [#day3 #day4 #studygram #study #studyspo #desk #bulletjournal #bujo #planner #stationery #stationary #productivity #organised #tumblr #studyblr #university #student #calendar]

17-04-2016 // 4:31pm My IT exam is in 2 days & I’m kind of freaking out. But here is a picture of my printed & summarised notes for those who were asking me about them!!

[elliesedge-blog]

Hello! A few followers of mine requested a post on my note taking system so here it is.

My notes The above picture is of my Arc Notebook and is a collection of classwork and textbook information! When I’m writing notes I have to always write the date. I always mark down the dates on any worksheets I receive and sometimes add the topic of the class into the calendar on my computer. During classes, I try to pay as much attention as I can. Especially to the information which the teacher emphasises! Class notes are usually really scruffy or I type them and then I will later rewrite/condense and add after class. I find this pretty helpful, however if I miss a day I usually fall behind and end up with a lot more work to do! For rewriting the notes, I look at the syllabus and make sure I write something for each topic. I use colour coding to help too. I refer to the notes from class and other textbooks or the Internet! Having a selection of resources is really useful for understanding your topics. I am also trying to create even simplified topic notes to print later. 

My work layout For starters, with a new topic I start on new paper. So I can easily find the one topic without having to make it by a title page or something, like in a regular exercise book! Titles are the sections of the syllabus which my notes relate to. Titles and always in black, underlined and capitalised. My notes are mainly in black and always in dot point form. I prefer having small sections of sentences compared to large chunks of writing. As you can see at points my writing goes in. I measure each time at either 1cm, 2cm or 3cm depending on the indent. Usually these notes are important for the line above, for instance an example or a definition. Also, you can see some sentences with arrows (either green or pink) underneath the sentences, these are just additional information which is relevant for either understanding or just interesting! I also leave one line between each section for easier reference.

My colour coding system I’ve had a lot of messages about this so I thought I should include it! I use the Staedtler Triplus Fineliners for all these notes. I use black as the normal note taking. Red is for the topic of sentence, because I use dot point form the red makes the work stand out so I can quickly refer to that sentence! I don’t use red in every sentence, usually only if I’ve begun talking about something else. I use light blue for terms that I need to remember or are important. I find this useful in all my subjects! Dark blue is for names of people/places/businesses/etc and abbreviations. Orange is for examples and are usually indented by 1cm. I use green for relevant information to help understanding or to clarify and as previously mentioned, I use an arrow and indent at 1cm. I use pink for generally interesting information which isn’t needed but good for showing knowledge. I find colour coding useful, but it makes note taking quite a timely process but it does look pretty!

Overall, my note taking isn’t very complicated and pretty easy to recreate! I hope some of you find this post at least a little helpful. Check out emmastudies.tumblr.com/tagged/me for more. Feel free to message me if theres anything else! :-)
