Things I learnt from this video: Step 1 (5 -10 mins): - Create a notion database (or just a checklist) with the mark scheme, split into intro, main body and conclusion Step 2 (20 mins): - In the intro, set the scene (without repeating the question itself). Say the importance of the topic - In the main body, work out what order you want the paragraphs based on the marking criteria - In the conclusion, talk about the wider context of the topic Step 3 (30-60 mins): - Make a central point for each paragraph (can be a quote or study too!) - Have a column for quotes or sources Step 4 (60 mins) - Start writing your essay - based on the detailed plan we already have - Just need to elaborate on the key ideas / sources which we have already decided on Then take a break (hours - days) Then come back and do a 30 min review of your work
I have a low attention span and really struggle with getting the important points from a video, so this comment and you made on the How I Remember Everything I Read video have been lifesavers! I really appreciate it!
I cannot thank you enough for this video! Yes, currently I am writing a 6000 word MA essay within an only few days - hectic (reading foundation has been laid thankfully). But even in future when I have more time available - this structure will help so much in just getting started! Those first words on a blank page are daunting. This helps my mind breathe.
The marking criteria trick (copy pasting the marking criteria to structure your essay) is spot on! When I was marking essays as a university tutor, I could only really award points for answering the marking criteria. It pained me to not be able to give points to well written essays that didn't answer the criteria.
I used this method for my thesis and it works really well! I would do this process per chapter. The spreadsheet is a bit bigger, and it takes a bit longer than 3 hours - especially if you haven't read and taken notes yet - but it works like a charm! When you're working on a larger writing project, it's so helpful to just imagine you're writing a string of smaller essays. You're just calling them chapters. If this is your own thesis - it's highly likely that you're going to be creating the elements of your second column yourself: but don't skip! This will help you sort out your argument. Highly recommend this strategy for your thesis!
Hello Elizabeth, one of your video on taking college notes on macbook helped me a lot saving lots of my money.. I already had a old ipad and was tempted to purchase a new ipad pro M1 again 😁 seing the apple promo ads . ha ha 😁. Later i realized making notes on Macbook is so nice & fast ( thanks to my typing speed & also your helpful video ) and i saved my money . That money i used to purchase a new iphone 13 pro max ( Sierra blue ) . Thanks a lot to you for all valuable informative videos 🙏🙏
I actually quicken the process a little, I spread a net out look up a couple of books, articles etc find articles that work with what I'm working on. Build a framework of what I want to say a simple one that works is beginning which is explaining the issue, 3- 2 main points that I want to state( this also helps me look up what I need to know to get through the essay.) An outro. I've used this for so many different types of papers over the years. Takes about 2 hours 3 at max. I just write them on notepad. Not convinced on how notion would speed up my process.
thank you very much for explaning and making my life much easier , before , my essay can take forever due to all of this....... , but you made this so much easier , to make this layout to use for my studying
Your content is the best, your motivation! I’m not even in uni and it just felt like I wanted to do an essay to apply this 😂Congratulations on your 100k subscribers🎉🥳 you will quickly grow much more as your content and your attitude are so incredible !
This video is helpful indeed, but there is no way it's 3 hours work. You also usually need to read about 10 academic materials to quote from, which in no way would take you only 60 minutes to do....
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for this useful and inspiring video. Would you also give us a bit more insights on your research process? How long does it take you to conduct your research and find all these useful quotes and studies?
Thank you, this is a brilliant way of structuring an essay because it allows you to process each section without holding the entire essay in your mind at once. 👌❤ Note that you can do this in a spreadsheet just as well. I colour code each section to remind me if I happy with it or not.
I have this system where I read the required reading, and put the elaborate notes as well as a simplified summary + the exact source with page numbers into a table. Then I can sort of copy paste the essay into being. But I think I’ll add some of your points into my system (like the point criteria). Thank you!
I just love your way of study technique s... they are so so relevant and quite practical to follow... I just love watching and listening to you contents... I do not spend much on youtube but I never miss your contents, just amazing and so practical
Hi Elizabeth your growth on TH-cam has been super inspiring to watch, so much so that I uploaded my first very crusty video today so thanks for that and all the best!
Wow, amazing,Elizabeth, i have to say that you're so smarter than the rest of us, i remembered when i was graduate student as Chinese philosophy ten years ago, i had big headache about graduate essay😂💖
You can trait cut down on your time finding sources using AI. I like to use Google Gemini to say "X is my claim, I need you to find 3 sources that support it and two that contradict out" and then I'll give more criteria if there is any.
Nice tips but I find this so difficult to get my head around this. Is there a writing course people have done to get this awesome experience? Been a while since I have finished highschool learning to write an essay
Ooh Thank you a lot You speak so fast and simple I don't regret any single video of yours that I watched Beautiful, smart and very talented girl You look like a French girl actually and I really like it, I love your long hair Please continue posting such videos 👍
This is such a great approach. Do you have any tips for using this on bigger projects such as longer theses for masters or doctorates? You are brilliant. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
Love this video! Thanks for sharing. I just watched last Ali’s video where you were giving a presentation. I was wondering why don’t you also create a similar video about the processing of making engaging presentations and prepare for it? Thanks!!! ☺️☺️☺️
Hi Elizabeth, I don't even know how to create the database in Notion? Can you please outline how to do that? IS thath on a school profile? I've even asked the help function, and it does not look like your database table :/

Step 4 (60 mins)
- Start writing your essay - based on the detailed plan we already have
- Just need to elaborate on the key ideas / sources which we have already decided on
Then take a break (hours - days)
Then come back and do a 30 min review of your work

Thank you so much for this!! But, what to do if we have to write '2' essays for 15 marks each within 3 hours?
Thanks to u now everything is simpler and easier thank uu
I've just finished uni... would have loved this video as a first year.

I have always written the introduction last. It makes sense to me.

It pained me to not be able to give points to well written essays that didn't answer the criteria.
This interesting to know I really struggle with my planning as I never plan it.
😊😊😅
Have you already written a thesis? If so, could you explain how in the same way? This was great!

This idea of outlining with a notion db is amazing!

Great video, I’ll give Notion a try. Also, royal blue is a great color on you!

You are glorious Elizabeth and so is your channel!

This is the most amazing advice I have ever heard for writing,
This is such a good technique! Thank you so much! I'm still in school but I think this should work pretty good though
Yooooo Elizabeth this is SUPER HELPFUL!!! I have 2 midterms due next week and kind of have to get started ASAP 😅. Thanks!!!

I cannot thank you enough for this video. It has been incredibly helpful.

As a regular 'leave it to the last minute' wretch, this was a great asset to my procrastinative tendancies.
Hi Elizabeth, I used this method to write my paper this week and it was definitely helpful and made the process much less overwhelming. Thanks :)

Then I can sort of copy paste the essay into being. But I think I’ll add some of your points into my system (like the point criteria). Thank you!
Oh and I’m starting to use Mendeley for managing the references.
Yayy! Congratulations on your 100k Liz!! ❤ the strategy seems so helpful! Will have to try it next year in my post graduation.
So cool that you take the time to put on your scrubs for the medicine-related videos! :-)
An Britain telling 'fastly' is all I ever wanted in my life.
I am definitely going to use this system
Wow! She's fast in explaining the process. Thanks for the details and in-depth run through of the guidance and tips in using Notion.
I so need this video!!! Congratulations on 100K !!!

Thanks! I am in my last year of college, I will definitely try this.
You can trait cut down on your time finding sources using AI. I like to use Google Gemini to say "X is my claim, I need you to find 3 sources that support it and two that contradict out" and then I'll give more criteria if there is any.
OMG you're so smart

Really loved your lipstick 😍💄 ❣️❣️

Bless you
Good stuff!
Can you make a video on how you use notion / notion tour? (maybe another notion sponsored video😉)
Notification gang!
3 hours? Maybe 2 hours if your quick enough. I know I've written some in about 2 hours that were well written in that time. You do what I kind of do.
I have to play this gold for 0,75 because I don't want to miss anything
Brilliant : )
Good systematic method!
btw why's that ring halfway through your finger? XD
