  • ep. HOW I study, take notes, and stay motivated - 7 easy and effective tips and advice
    Hello everyone! 💜
    Final exams are approaching so I thought I would share this video - I hope some of you find it useful!
    In this video, I share with you tips and techniques for studying, note-taking, and staying motivated. These are some bits and pieces of wisdom I’ve learned from the books I've read, other creators, friends, and also my experience of being both a “good” and “bad” student.
    Thank you so much for waiting and I hope everyone is doing well. Good luck with your exams and I’ll see you in my next video 🤍

    taking notes for practice: (only for part 1&2, lmk if i missed anything!!!)
    part 1: tips
    1. set micro goals
    - short-term, specific goals instead of general ones
    - break the general goal up into steps
    - makes a big goal less daunting & easier to take the first step
    2. use time constraints
    - set a timer when doing small tasks
    - puts pressure to complete the task
    3. take breaks
    - be instinctually aware of when you need take a break rather than a fixed 45/15 routine
    - when you’re losing focus, feeling tired (NOT when you’re just feeling annoyed)
    4. enjoy the process
    - results are only a byproduct of the process
    - learn to love the process
    5. be proactive
    - you have the power to make decisions that accumulate to shape your lifestyle
    - remember WHY you’re doing something & not just for the sake of doing it
    6. shape your identity
    - identity and behaviour are mutually affecting
    - say ‘i am’ instead of ‘i will’ (live in the future)
    7. you’re not entitled to anything
    - if you want something you need to put in effort
    part 2: note-taking
    1. look for summaries online
    -not to replace readings, more to prime yourself
    2. read intro and conclusion first
    - main points
    3. skim & identify important parts
    4. create a mini outline of the paper
    5. make your own summary + evaluation
    6. look out for signposting in the reading

      cute! but for some reason these youtube comment notes always miss the mark for me. e.g., for microgoals, the most important takeaway for me was to break tasks into things I could do in one session -a 1 to 2hr task! that time scale is the most concrete, useful example that i wasn’t employing previously

    UR TIMING FOR THIS VIDEO>>> I just started an assignment thats due tmrw and i'm someone who needs pressure to focus better and time constraints really help with that. I especially agree with the breaking tasks into chunks its makes them seem so much more attainable! once again u nailed it! Thanks 🥰

    Another very informative video. Girl, I love this study series from you. Learned a lot from it. Breaking down daunting task into smaller ones really work for me. It tricks my brain that I've accomplished something even though I've just produced a title for my term paper that's due next week 😌.

  • @sunchips18
    @sunchips18 Před 2 lety +10

    For the major that I chose, I never really had to take many exams. It was mostly just papers. The end result was that I got very good at writing papers, but I never really learned any effective studying strategies, and classes that had any exams tended to kick my butt. 💀💀💀
    I’m always really impressed by your organization and study strategies. 12:44 is just genius, imo.
    I do agree that breaking things up really works. I tended to start papers about 2/3 weeks before they were due, write about a page or two a day until I was finished. Edit and turn it in early. Never wrote a paper I didn’t get an A on with this strategy. 😎
    Also: For study break tips, I find that if you’re on CZcams, watching _longer_ videos tends to be better than shorter ones.
    Why? Because if you watch a longer video, it gives you more time to actually relax, and you’re aware of how much time you’re spending watching it, so you’re more likely to get back to work quicker.
    With a 2 minute video, you’re much more likely to watch it, see another one, and then go “Oh, well, it’s only been two minutes. Let’s check this one out,” and you do this several more times, and the next thing you know, you’ve sank 2/3 hours without even realizing it.

    There's a lot of good takeaways from this video. I think the most important one for me, at the current moment as i'm dealing with some things, is the acknowledgement of identity reinforcing behavior.
    I'm doing a lot of self introspective work these days in an attempt to better myself. I think that lesson is important. Definitely taking that down. Thanks for the video.

    I find myself more in love with your channel, as the days passed by... You really are such a precious and kind person. The way you help people, not only to study or to motivation, even with self care or apects like a healthy life... You really are so kind and I think you really dont know how much you help people when posting this videos. It´s not only the content or the tips of the video, it´s something that I can´t really explain... You really help me a lot and honestly, since I started to follow your channel and seeing your videos, my life really has become more sweet, more happy... The way you make me smile with your videos, because of your beutiful words and your personality is beyond of words. The way I get so much motivation in my life, the way I started to wanting to become a better person... I don´t know, I just wanted to tell you this and most likely, to say thank you, for really EVERYTHING. You really are so inspiring! Hope you have a really nice day today, I hope you are taking care of yourself and yeah, that´s it haha!! :))))

    A wonderfully articulate vlog on the need to develop efficient study habits. Your words on creating self identity are so needed in this day. We should all create an atmosphere of positivity with the words we utter and try to avoid verbiage in our conversations. We really need to edify each other. It was also refreshing to hear you say that we are not entitled to anything. We must take responsibility for our actions and the choices we make (it has been a while since I have been acquainted with Ayn Randian philosophy). But on a personal note, with our ever present attempts to digress from the affects of the “latent strain” (a.k.a. depression) from this pandemic, I find my motivational levels waning. It is becoming harder and harder to conjure up the gas to care up. But you have inspired me with this. Oh also, love your hair in this video.
