Tips:

1. Note Taking 📝

Google says, ”Note-taking is the practice of recording information from different sources and platforms.”

Paper Note Taking : 👇🏼

The paper note taking process is not new, but very useful. Many people say that when you write stuff down on a paper your brain automatically stores information. You should use the following ways to make your notes creative -

Use highlighter 🖊

Use sticky notes 📝

Use speech bubbles ☁

Digital Note Taking : 👇🏼

If you like taking notes digital you should use Onenote or Goodnotes, but for digital notes don’t copy paste stuff from websites if you plan to publish them. A great way to take notes is by writing important information from your lesson in an easy to read language.

2. Study Groups 💻

Studying with groups or friends helps you study better. You can make Google Meets or meet outside, or other big locations with your friends.

3. Calendar 📅

Use a calendar to plan out your day or your meeting and study groups. Paper still works, and is fun to decorate and doodle,

If you like using digital calendars, I personally prefer Google Calendar or Microsoft Calendar.

4. Stay away from multitasking 📓

Stay away from multitasking because when you multitask your brain is not able to stay focused.

The best way to study is to only stick to one task at a time, put your phone away and don't open multiple browser tabs.

5. Time ⏰

Find the best time for you to study. It can be the morning, evening, noon, it just depends on your brain.

6. Getting Organized 📙

When you sit down to study, have all your materials with you. You will need items like a book, computer, pencil and other materials.

7. Color Coding

Color coding when you are reading a text or making notes helps your brain learn things faster.

If you like digital color coding, try the highlighter tool which is a extension for digital color coding.
