✧ the elle woods study method: mindset makeover & foundation building ✧

hey lovelies! 💗

omg, i'm literally bursting with excitement to start this transformative series with you all! we're going to dive deep into actually studying like elle woods, and all her study methods. it's going to change your academic life. (while keeping you fabulous, obviously!)

let's start with the most crucial element - the elle woods mindset. you know how elle went from being underestimated at harvard to graduating with honors? that transformation began in her mind, and that's exactly where we're starting too!

the core principles of the elle woods mindset (get ready to take notes!):

unwavering self-belief: elle's iconic "what, like it's hard?" attitude wasn't just cute - it was crucial

authenticity as your superpower: your unique perspective is your strength

resilience through positivity: turning every "you can't" into "watch me"

strategic determination: working smarter, not just harder

maintaining your essence: success shouldn't mean losing yourself

let me break down how to actually build this mindset (because theory without practice is like a perfect outfit without accessories - incomplete!):

mindset foundation building: • start a daily confidence journal (pink, obviously!) • write three daily affirmations • document your wins, no matter how small • reflect on challenges and how you overcame them

goal setting the elle way: • dream big (harvard law big!) • break down major goals into mini-milestones • create realistic timelines • identify potential obstacles and plan solutions • celebrate every achievement (even the tiny ones!)

your personal success toolkit: • a dedicated study planner (color-coded, elle would approve) • positive affirmation cards • vision board (mix academic and personal goals) • progress tracking system • reward system for reaching milestones

practical assignments for this week:

yes, i'm giving you all homework, because what's a lesson without doing homework? <3

mindset makeover tasks: • create your confidence corner (a designated study space that makes you feel powerful) • write your personal academic manifesto • identify and challenge three limiting beliefs • create a morning power routine

organization prep: • get your study essentials (cute but functional!) • set up your planning system • create a semester overview • design your ideal weekly schedule

community building: • find your study buddies (your personal warner hunting club, but for academics!) • join study groups • set up accountability partnerships • create a support system

elle's journey wasn't about memorizing legal terms - it was about believing she belonged in those hallowed halls while wearing her signature pink. you deserve to feel that same confidence in your academic journey. <3

advanced tips for the overachievers (because why not be extra?):

record yourself giving pep talks for tough days

create a study aesthetic that energizes you

develop personal success rituals

build a playlist that makes you feel powerful

photograph your progress for motivation

coming up in this series:

time management secrets

memory techniques that actually work

note-taking methods that slay

exam preparation strategies

self-care routines for academic success

group study dynamics

presentation skills

stress management

celebration strategies

and more of course <3

remember: elle woods didn't just survive harvard - she thrived while being unapologetically herself. that's our goal too! you're not just going to study better; you're going to build an academic approach that celebrates who you are.

homework time (but make it fun):

create your academic vision board

write your semester goals

design your ideal study schedule

set up your success tracking system

prepare your study space

xoxo, mindy

p.s. don't forget to reblog and follow for the complete series! we're building our own little academic sorority here! <3

study methods you might want to try:

84% of students rely on rereading, which provides minimal benefits. Whether you're studying for a tough test or quiz, or you need a better understanding on the subject, these methods might help you.

Spaced Repetition - Which means separating your study sessions into groups. Day 1, Day 3, Day 6, etc.

Active Recall - One of the most effective and successful study methods -- in my opinion. Active recall teaches us to approach the test/exam etc. into a different angle. Flashcards, practice questions, practice tests. This method uses self-testing to help your brain memorize, retain and retrieve information more easier and efficiently.

Pomodoro Technique - Probably one of the most talked about and popular technique -- and for a reason. Study with Me videos helped me get through my first year of high school. Such techniques could be the 45-15 rule, where you study for 45 minutes and take a break for 15 minutes. I usually separate these sessions into 4 parts, so that I retain information more easily.

Feynman Technique - This method is basically as if you were teaching it to a class. Breaking down complicated things into easier, more digestible chunks. It makes you think about what you are learning. This was also developed by Nobel-Peace winning physicist Richard Feynman!

Studyblr intropost!

Hi! I’m Chronicsstudyblr (main Tumblr is @chronicallyinmyownworld ). This is my intro post to the studyblr community :) I am creating this blog to keep myself motivated and organised throughout the school year.

Goals! My goals for these three years are…

To improve my grades and get a better understanding in the subjects I perform badly in

To become the student council president

To learn how to study properly

To develop healthier routines

And other things but they aren’t related to this blog

School!

I live in Norway, and follow the Norwegian school system. I’ve just started the 11th grade at a new school, a school which I’ll be attending for the next three years until I graduate and uni-life begins.

I have 9 subjects in school:

- Maths

- Science

- Geography

- Norwegian

- English

- German

- Latin

- Social studies

- Physical education

The subjects I will practice the most are:

- Maths

- Science

- Geography

- Latin

- Written german (I’m half german so I speak the language quite well)

- I will of course also be focusing on my other subjects but the ones above are the subjectsI want to improve in

The blog! - - - - - -

The aesthetic!

I’ve come to realise that a huge part of the studyblr community is aesthetics; everything needs to be aesthetic. But, that clean and organised aesthetic one usually encounters when scrolling through studyblr, is not what I am nor what I want. So the aesthetic of this blog (my blog!) will be more along the lines of:

- Chaotic & dark academia

- Downtown girl

- Hogwarts student

- Deep sea / dark blue

What I’ll post!

I don’t know how often I’ll post, hopefully 1-6 times a week depending on how busy I am. (Then again, a studyblr is supposed to show the busy life of a student…) I am a person who likes to infodump and provide information, so masterposts are probably something I’ll have a lot of. I’ll also probably partly be treating my blog as my notes app…

Some of my content will include:

- Lists of things I do in a day

- How I study

- What I study

- Summary of things I’ve learned in different subjects

- Motivational posts

- What my goals are & how I plan on achieving them

- Tips and tricks

- Studymethods

- How to be productive

- Pictures of my notes and other things

More! - - - - - -

My favourite colour is dark blue, my favourite standalone movie is Coraline, my favourite books are Cinderella Is Dead and The Handmaids Tale, my favourite move franchise is Harry Potter, my favourite sitcom is The Office, my favourite animals are cows (especially highland cows) and jellyfish, my favourite country is Scotland, my favourite biomes are tundra (mountains) and boreal forests, my favourite sports are swimming and archery.

(I will be tracking #chronicsstudies , feel free to tag me etc and let’s be mutuals!)

I am so excited to finally join this community!

I wish everyone well <3

Hybrid Note Taking Style

A note taking method that blends the best of paper and digital note taking that I’ve been exploring lately. So far it’s working really well for me :) Hope it helps! 

Hybrid Note Taking Method

Problems with other note taking systems

Each note taking system has its pros and cons. Here are some of the problems I found with (fully) paper and (fully) digital note taking systems.

Paper

Can't use the search function on your notes.

Can't add images and other types of digital files easily.

Difficult to keep overview between notebooks.

Can't share these as easily as digital notes.

Digital

Not as 'romantic'.

Sometimes less engaging.

Lack of physical presence can lead to you forgetting about it.

Can be more difficult to do things like sketching, making schemes, making illustrations etc.

Benefits of Hybrid

I like using hybrid methods because they bring you the best of both worlds.

Easily searchable.

Information in your notes is traceable.

Makes it easier to find and carry out actions e.g. finding extra info.

Doesn't damage books.

Allows you to embed different types of files.

What you'll need

Source material (e.g. book, academic paper)

Any kind of notebook :)

Digital note-taking app → I like Notion (it's free).

Step 1 - Read & number the material

As you go, use a pencil to lightly put numbers into the margins whenever you deem something worthy of noting down or remembering. This will help you locate the source of specific parts of your notes later.

Step 2 - Write Q&A-style notes

Write the information down in question-and-answer style. Come up with useful questions that link to the material you want to remember (e.g. Q → What is the main problem with using platform-based planning for new ventures? A → Assumptions underlying the plan are used as fact rather than best-guess estimates to be tested and questioned). Use the numbers you placed in the margin of the pages to specify the source of the information you used for each answer.

Example → Chapter 1 page 27 note 3 becomes 1.p27.3

Step 3 - Write actions as you go (Supporting notes)

Supporting notes

Write down your thoughts, anything you're curious about, things you want to look up, things you're confused about, actions you've been inspired to do, etc. For example → ?m Maybe I can apply this to my visualization assignment? / ! Look up what 'plurality of the future' is / fex Organizational transformation through design. I find this a great way to support and manage the learning process.

Action key

Keep a small action key in which you have an overview of what your action marks mean (e.g. ?m→ questions to myself, f → find, fex → find example, ?? → I don't get it, ! → general actions)

Don't be afraid to customize your actions!

What you'll get

Actionable notes

Your paper notes will contain a structured and easy to read overview of actionable items that came up during the reading. This can be questions you need answered, reminders to find specific information, etc. This will make them a lot harder to forget to do!

Easily traceable sources

With the codes you'll be able to tell easily and quickly where the information you've written in your notes came from.

Searchable & review-ready notes

Notes will be (mostly) made in question-and-answer style. This will allow you to easily review using active recall. All you need to do is cover/hide the answer and you can check how well you truly know the material.

Thanks for reading!

Hi world! Hope that you're doing well. I'll be glad to you if you can share some tips on improving writing whether it is drills or something else!!

Can you explain that study method?

It’s nothing special really, I just make notes that are more about being visually attractive and colourful, I use a lot of highlighters. Basically how it works is, I used to study by walking round my room reading my notes out loud and after like two times doing so I was trying to say things by myself, not looking at the paper, trying to use what I’ve remembered. I used to do that in the evening for like an hour max and then I’m the morning for like half an hour to refresh my memory. How it works for me is basically because I’m a kinesthetic lerner, so I study by motion and touch. So for me dealing with that was going around the room, reading out loud, then saying out loud - almost as if I was presenting it to someone. It’s really a personal method and tbh it took me 3xtime doing my notes than actually studying, but then again by writing stuff down you’re also already learning them. Plus everyone always loved my notes and wanted to study from them haha.

If you have any more questions about it, I’ll gladly help you ☺️

Studying/revising for my (hopefully) last exams. 

They're not exactly finals - here in Brazil, you have a certain number of evaluations during the semester, usually from 2 to 5, which can be tests, papers, seminar presentations and similar. If your final grade is lower than 7 (C or lower) by the end of all these evaluations, then you take what we call final: a test to help you improve your final grade. It's not necessarily a part of your evaluation process because you don't have to take it if your first final grade is over 7 (A or B). 

This is my last exam week of the semester, but in case I don't get any As or Bs (over 7) I will still have to take some final exams in the last week of the June.

I'm studying biochemistry and anatomy and I don't feel confident at all about it, lol

Studying methods: watching lectures online, self-explanation, active recall, rewriting notes, exercises on Khan Academy.

#prayforme? lol

My study problems and how I solved them

I’ve always wanted to be like those university students who make beautiful notes and have neat handwriting. But I’m still a freshmen in high school and I’m not given the same martial as university students are.

Therefore, i create my own way. I first gather my study guides and reviews, highlighted the answers to the questions I got wrong and drew them out on a scrap piece a paper.

 It might sound confusing but it’s really not. It works really well for science and social studies. Math I still have to figure out. But there’s my method!

[studywmay]

Ooi gente tudo bem? Faz muito tempo que eu não posto pois eu estava muito ocupada com a escola e estudos. Hoje vim trazer uma ótima dica de método de estudos para compensar o tempo fora. Essa técnica eu peguei durante a aula de filosofia do ano passado. Ao estudarmos teorias do conhecimento e como obter a verdade, me deparei com o método do matemático Rene Descartes, considerado o pai do racionalismo. Para ele a verdade era obtida por meio de 4 passos. 1) Deixar claro a sua dúvida e o que você procura. Nesse caso, seria separar a matéria e o assunto que você vai estudar; 2) Dividir os problemas, ou seja, dividir a matéria em blocos/tópicos; 3) Começar a estudar e entender as mais simples, indo gradativamente até as mais difíceis; 4) E por último revisar o conjunto inteiro. Ou seja, para obtermos o conhecimento profundo de tal assunto para a prova ou vestibular, devemos seguir esses passos, começando do mais simples até o mais complexo, revisando e fazendo exercícios, fixando assim o conteúdo. . Espero que vocês usem essa dica e que ajude vocês! Deixem o like se gostaram, salvem para ver depois e comentem o atual método de estudo de vocês!

Study Method #1

I think I found a study method that works pretty well for science subjects:

Take your notes and create a mindmap (try and do some from memory)

While creating the mindmap, every time you come across important info, make a flashcard

Use the flashcards to study

I think this method works very nicely because you are consistently the same information down, and as you write the facts down, you are already practically memorizing them. So, by the time you’re done with creating the flashcards, you already have the information hammered into your brain.

The day of my Bio test, I didn’t have to try and cram information in between classes, I felt pretty confident in myself. But before we took the test a couple of my friends wanted to use my flashcards and as we went through them, I easily recalled the information. I took the test without breaking a sweat and when I got my scores back, I saw that I got an A!

*It would be petty cool (and awesome) if you guys could use this method and give me some feedback*

#Backtoschool | My study method-EN

Hi there! Today I want to talk to you about my method of study, hoping to be able to help you ... let's start! 1. Note: Take note of what is said in class is crucial to facilitate study, grasping the key concepts will help to easily integrate the textbook. 2. Schemes: I'm not much in favor of schemes, but for some subjects like philosophy and history I prefer to write key concepts and make small schemes directly on the book and near the paragraph they refer to. 3. Organization: For me, it is important to have a good organization to better manage the study: for example, by mathematics I have a binder where I keep all the different formulas and schemes, then I use two different notebooks: one for the lessons and one for the exercises . 4. Memorise: To quickly memorize I use post-it on which I write the meaning of words or concepts that I must remember well. 5. Review: For the review, I entrust the notes (I have a brief reading) and the textbook. Repeating loudly is essential for good exposure. For the general overview I use the flash cards method (if you want to talk to me better in another post), to randomly review the topics studied, so I can simulate a query and feel more quiet. This is the method of study that I use and with which I am very good, but of course for any question or information please leave a comment !!!

mock exams were how long ago sorry what.

okay but where does time go?

this time last year i was preparing for my own mock exams... how has it been a year ???? some updates: i have completed my first very eventful semester of university, my oh my what a learning curve in every aspect of my life but i am lovin it, i’m back into studying and netball, finally got my license woop woop and have started tutoring peeps.

just a friendly psa to anyone about to sit their mock exams: it’s okay if they suck bc guess what most of my grade failed theirs and then by the time externals rolled around, we weren’t half bad. don’t freak out about cramming for them- external exams are still a very long way away! peep my wall after mocks:

three main tips:

- revise what you find hardest. if you just revise and spend time doing questions or topics you're good at, that's cool and all but you gotta get to the crunch of it if you really want to improve your performance. plus, it's super satisfying when you have that "aha!" moment. you can and will get there, keep it up.

- it's over-said but pls- take breaks and rest. i was a smidge away from burnout for pretty much all of year twelve and i do not recommend. take time off, lounge, walk, whatever.

- don't overthink your mocks: like i was saying above, srsly i know many people who straight up failed their chemistry mocks and then ended up picking up to a very high 90+ standard by the real thing. use it as a learning tool. prepare, but don't cram. use it as a chance to figure out where you need to dedicate your time.

take care folks.
