Create a Study Schedule


 Hey Softies! 

Today, I want to talk about one of the most important tools for success in your studies - a study schedule. As a student, it can be tough to balance all of your classes, assignments, and extracurricular activities. But with a well-planned study schedule, you can stay on track and ensure that you're making progress towards your academic goals.

So, how do you create a study schedule that works for you? 

The first step is to identify all of your commitments. This includes classes, assignments, and any other activities that you need to attend. Once you have a clear picture of your schedule, it's time to start planning.

The key to creating a successful study schedule is to be realistic.

Don't try to cram too much into your day - this will only lead to burnout and frustration. Instead, aim to create a schedule that is both manageable and effective.

One helpful tool for creating a study schedule is a time-management website or app. There are plenty of options out there, like Trello, Google Calendar, and RescueTime. These tools can help you track your time, set reminders, and stay on task.

Another important tip is to create a study routine. 

This means setting aside specific times each day or week for studying. By creating a routine, you'll train your brain to focus during these times, and you'll be more likely to stay on task.

It's also important to build in breaks and downtime into your schedule. 

Remember, studying all day every day isn't sustainable. You need time to recharge and relax. 

So make sure to schedule in breaks throughout the day, and build in time for activities that you enjoy.

Finally, don't be afraid to adjust your schedule as needed. 

Life is unpredictable, and sometimes you may need to shift your priorities or adjust your study routine. By staying flexible and open to change, you can ensure that your schedule remains effective and sustainable.

Creating a study schedule can be a challenge, but with the right tools and mindset, you can make it work for you. 

So go ahead, Softies, start planning your way to academic success!

Spaced Repetition: The Secret Study Technique Softies Need to Try

Image
Hey there, fellow softies!   It's Livvy here, and I'm excited to share with you one of my favorite study techniques: spaced repetition .  If you're like me, you know how tough it can be to remember information for the long-term. But fear not - with spaced repetition, you'll be able to master even the most challenging material. So what is spaced repetition, exactly?    At its core, spaced repetition is a study technique that involves reviewing material at gradually increasing intervals over time. By spacing out your reviews of information in this way, you're able to reinforce your memory of that information more effectively. Here's an example of how spaced repetition might work in practice: Let's say you're trying to learn a new language. Rather than cramming for hours the night before a big test, you might use a spaced repetition app like Anki to review vocabulary words at regular intervals. The app will show you each word at increasing intervals - for ...

Use a Whiteboard

Hey there, Softies!  Have you ever considered using a whiteboard as a study tool?  Whiteboards can be an incredibly useful aid in organizing and memorizing information.  Here are some ways you can incorporate a whiteboard into your study routine: 1. Mind-mapping : Use the whiteboard to create a mind map of a topic you're studying. Start with a central idea and branch out with related concepts, using different colors and arrows to connect them. 2. Formulas and equations : If you're studying math or science, a whiteboard is perfect for practicing formulas and equations. You can easily erase and start over until you've mastered the concept. 3. To-do lists : Use the whiteboard to create a to-do list of tasks you need to complete for an upcoming exam or project. As you finish each task, cross it off the list. 4. Summarizing readings : After reading a chapter or article, use the whiteboard to summarize the main points. This will help you remember the information and make study...

Using mnemonic devices

Image
Hey there, Softies!  It's Livvy again, and I'm here to talk about one of my favorite study techniques: using mnemonic devices. Mnemonic devices are memory aids that help you remember information.  They work by associating the information with something else that's easier to remember.  Here are a few examples: Acronyms : These are words formed from the first letter of each word in a list. For example, to remember the order of operations in math (parentheses, exponents, multiplication/division, addition/subtraction), you can use the acronym PEMDAS. Rhymes : Rhymes can be used to remember lists of words or phrases. For example, "i before e, except after c, or when sounding like 'ay' as in neighbor and weigh." Acrostics : These are sentences where each word starts with the first letter of a list of words you're trying to remember. For example, to remember the planets in order from the sun, you can use the acrostic "My very eager mother just served us ...
