CREATING + USING FLASHCARDS
CREATING
You can either use index cards, online cards or cut out paper, whatever is more convenient.
Organise resources and notes before beginning to write anything on your flash cards. Only use key concise information.
Keep the content on your flash cards short. Don’t use flash cards for more detailed information. You want to make sure it is easily memorable.
When writing your flash cards, use different coloured pencils to write or highlight some words to make it more memorable.
Put one term/question on each card to better retain more information.
Add pictures/diagrams. I know not all of us are artists, but they are quite useful to memorise the information, as our brains associate visuals with information.
Keep your flash cards limited. If need be, you can create two sets of decks to use in different periods, but try keeping one deck under 20-25 cards.
USING
Repetition is important when using flash cards. Try to find little intervals in your day to use them. Early morning or just before you go to bed are some of the best times to revise them!
Recite your flashcards out loud instead of in your head, you process the information with more clarity.
Keep distractions minimally. You don’t need to have complete silence, but avoid music, doing it in your bed or eating while revising.
Engage yourself with the flashcards, you can reward yourself after getting a short chunk memorised, or walk around while using them.

my favorite study tips i’ve received 📓🩰🖇️✦
it’s not about setting a time to begin your studies, it’s more effective to set a time you wish to have all your work done by.
invest in a whiteboard. trust me, it makes everything so much more fun.
need help getting motivated? do one to three small and quick tasks you consider productive before sitting down to study. that’ll motivate you to do your work since you’re already on a roll.
you don’t have to see the workday as 12 hours. a lot of us feel like when we mess up early on in the day, the day is ruined and the only time we’ll get to try again is tomorrow. that’s not true, so stop seeing a day as one long period of time and start thinking of it in terms of halves or quarters. you procrastinated all morning? that’s okay, there are still so many quarters of the day left. quarter one was a fail, sure, but that doesn’t mean quarter two, three, and so forth have to be.
this one shifted my mindset: I was told to see studying and the knowledge I’d gain from it like a muscle. if you use it— practicing equations, working on problems, doing assignments —it’ll grow stronger. if you don’t, it’ll weaken. in other words, don’t think of studying as something you have to do. think of it as practicing your knowledge to make it stronger.
if you have a dictionary in your home, find it, keep it within reach, and actively use it. drop the habit of googling words, it may be quicker but getting used to using a dictionary will not only help you learn the words you had in mind but will also expose you to words you had no idea existed. a simple but great way to start expanding your vocabulary.
after you’ve already completed the mandatory studying and homework, try studying without using technology. it can be fun and is a great way to challenge what you know if most of your studies depend on devices. challenge yourself once in a while to have a completely offline study session as a way of having a refreshing session.
don’t study until you get it right study until you can’t get it wrong. use free online practice work sheets and questions to help you be sure in your knowledge.
have a mini routine before you dive into your study session. like how people have a morning routine, make it a habit to maybe put your hair up, apply chapstick, and fill a mug with your favorite drink before you study. anything that’ll tell you that it’s now officially study time.
if planners seem too confining and strict but keeping all your assignments in your head is overwhelming, opt for an assignment tracker. keep a notebook to write down every single assignment you receive and it’s due date to easily overview and keep track of them all.

BRO HOW!?!?!?
Literally HOW do I get myself to study, I’ve had this assignment for A MONTH and it’s due tomorrow and all I’ve done is a plan layout. Not even a PLAN there’s no detail it’s a plan of a plan. WHY CANT I WORK WHATS WRONG WITH MY BRAIN??!?
I used to rely on last minute stress to make me do it but I don’t feel ANYTHING I’m no worried at all and it’s a summative exam so it’s actually worth something and I only got a 2:2 on my last exam so I need to bring my a game and I’ve left it to the last minute.
I literally want to scream why won’t my brain do anything literally ever.

diary | 1.17.23
Even though today is the first day back from the three-day weekend (and the start of dual-credit classes), my brother and I stayed home because we weren’t feeling well. Fortunately, today was not lost time because I got some stuff done! I finished the notes for my astronomy class and my syllabus quiz for composition. For my notes, I tried to stick to an all-pink theme, and I think it turned out really good! For now, I’ll just rest with my pumpkin spice tea.
Also, I spoke to my cafe manager about my holiday position ending soon, so I will need a letter of reference for my next application. He said that he wanted to talk to me in person about my position, mentioning that the part-time position is still on the table! Knock on wood, but this may be a good sign!
