Use a PLANNER!


 Hey there, Softies! 

Today, we're going to talk about one of the most important tools for staying organized and on top of your studies - a planner. 

Whether you're a student, a professional, or just someone who likes to stay on top of their schedule, a planner can be an invaluable resource for keeping your life on track.

First off, let's talk about why a planner is so important. 

With so much going on in our lives, it's easy to forget important deadlines, meetings, and appointments. A planner can help you stay on top of all of these things, and more. By writing down all of your tasks and deadlines, you can ensure that nothing falls through the cracks and that you stay on track to achieving your goals.

So, how do you use a planner effectively? 

The first step is to find a planner that works for you. There are so many different types of planners out there - daily, weekly, monthly - so take some time to figure out which one suits your needs best. Once you've found the perfect planner, it's time to start using it!

The key to using a planner effectively is to make it a habit. 

Set aside a specific time each day or week to sit down with your planner and go over your schedule. Write down all of your tasks and deadlines, and be sure to include any appointments or meetings you have coming up. 

This will help you stay organized and ensure that you never forget an important deadline or appointment.

Another important tip is to prioritize your tasks. 

Use your planner to identify the most important tasks and deadlines, and make sure to tackle those first. This will help you stay on top of your workload and ensure that you're making progress towards your goals.

And finally, don't be afraid to make changes to your planner as needed. 

Life is unpredictable, and sometimes you may need to adjust your schedule or re-prioritize your tasks. By staying flexible and open to change, you can ensure that your planner remains an effective tool for keeping your life on track.

Using a planner may seem like a small thing, but it can have a big impact on your productivity and overall success. 

So go ahead, Softies, grab a planner and start taking control of your schedule!

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 ...
