saoirse-is-studying

How I mark my questions.

Green - keywords, important info, etc.

Yellow - challenging questions.

Pink - practice/review before exams.

Orange - Unsolved questions. (I forgot to write that down on the paper, oops!)

Cons:

- time consuming - I have to look at the questions again after doing them to see which ones gave me headaches.

Pros:

- useful for quick reviews - I can go through all the important parts before an exam. It is time consuming in the beginning but not so much when it comes to reviewing.

- finding weak points - using the yellow and orange highlighters. I will do more practices and read more. But if I still find them difficult, I will consult my lecturers. I don’t find the questions difficult after much pratice and readings.

- Colours!!!

P.S. You all know I have an insta, righttttt?

studyraiderx asked:

Hello! How do you stay organised and how do you write your notes?

saoirse-is-studying answered:

I have quite a simple system which is Planner + Desk + Shelf.

Planner

Calendar

I printed it out from Botanical Paperworks. I’m trying to make one to suit my own needs, but I’m still improving it. This Botanical Paperworks calendar will be used till the end of this year. By then, I should have a bigger picture of what my calendar should have.

To-Do Book

I usually write down things like “Rewrite tutorials” (during discussion classes, my handwriting becomes indecipherable), “Print out slides” (so that I won’t be rushing right before lectures).

Desk

Magazine Holder

- Loose leaf papers. So I don’t have to go back and forth for paper just to scribble.
- Diaries/Journals.
- Two small notebooks. I’m planning to draw/doodle there whenever I’m distracted.

Placemat

- Clock.
- Two tins with wafers. Cappuccino and strawberry flavoured. Are they study snacks? Not really, I just eat them whenever I’m hungry.
- Occasionally coffee/tea.
- To-Do Book.
- Two stones from South Korea. I’m using it as a charm. My friend went there and my other friends each wanted one stone. I asserted dominance by asking for two.
- Mechanical pencil.
- Calculator. I only have one so it could be a big trouble if I lose it (this is the only thing I bring out from my pencil box. For more information, look at “Desk Organiser”).
- Phone. I keep track of how many hours I study.

Clear box

- Post-It Sticky notes. Comes in 3 different sizes and 5 different colours.

- Sticky Flags. I have too many.

- Stabilo Fineliners. Rarely used.

I’ll talk more on this when I talk about writing my notes.

- 4 Stabilo highlighters. I have a system for it.

- Stapler refills.

- Reinforcement rings.

Desk organiser

- Pens, Ruler, Eraser, Stapler Refills, Memo Pad, Puncher, Cellophane Tape. I used them to write my notes and do my homework. I could just grab them immediately instead of opening my pencil case and lose my stuffs later.
I will talk more on this when I talk about how I write my notes.
- More Pens.
- Sticky Flags. I used them when there are questions I don’t understand. I mark them and after I have done everything except for those questions, I will look again and try to understand. If I still can’t, then I take a pic and send them by e-mails to my lecturers.

Others

- Aromatherapies. Lavender and Lyang-Lyang. When I have headaches or feel very tired, I take a sniff at them. I don’t know why, but they make me feel better. They are from Daiso.
