Disclaimer: the methods I'm going to discuss here are not inherently bad... I just don't like them and they don't fit the way I handle information and organization in general. Some of them are methods that I tried for months or even years, others are methods that I dropped as soon as I picked them up. The goal here is to present you the popular methods I don't like, and the methods I replaced them with.

"Especially for a perfectionist who does not have the time to be a perfectionist." That's sooo me 😅
The reason why I always feel guilty in my Japanese notes lmao
OMYGOD YES, perfectionism is the worst lol!!
1. Flashcards
2. The Cornell method
3. Bullet journaling
4. Pomodoro technique
5. Using color
Thx
So literally all the methods I use 😣
@@CheekyGal301 it's not a big deal! if it works for you, it's ok. if it didn't work to mariana, and that's also ok.
@@marianabucheli5930 Hello, kind stranger. I'd like some tips, if you don't mind.
I think all of these are effective if you focus on the content itself and not on the aesthetic
YES! another thing with flashcards is that they take like 2 HOURS to make, and you only end up using them for 2 minutes lol
Omg I love ur channel ❤️
oh my word yes i only use flashcards if they were premade like the ones from quick study or if i make them on quizlet - and i’ve found much more efficient ways to study anyway 🤷🏽♀️
U can use anki
Really? Then you probably didn't need to write that information on a flashcard. I only put concepts I am struggling with after a few rounds of revision and end up using my flashcards a little everyday until the exam, to decrease the number of topics I can't remember perfectly.
It is really satisfying to throw out cards I don't need anymore and watch the pile get thinner.
I use them like once then they just become a waste of space
The best way to find the most effective study method for you is to test various tips, such as the ones listed below:
Thwart the "Curve of Forgetting"
Use Active Recall.
Use the Leitner System.
Take Practice Tests.
Make Connections.
Try the Feynman Notebook Method.
Take on the Role of Teacher.
Think About Your Thinking.
Actually last semester I used active recall method and it helped me a lot! Thanks to these methods I was the only one who passed Politics and Bio classes with straight A+ in the whole class :'))
@@grane1850 Could you tell me how you study? I would like to know more about how to apply those methods. :)
@@annar615 sure! I learned this method from a video of Ali Abdaal, you can check his channel he has great videos about active recall. So in active recall, when you are studying you don't take long ass notes, instead of them, you write key words and questions about the topic but be careful don't write the answers to the questions just below. Because the point is to make you remember the answer. If you don't remember what is the key word for or answer of the question, go back to your textbook and read the relevant chapter again. In this way, you remember the things you learned, not the memorize them. After you complete your questions go through them once in a while and revise them. After a moment you will realize you learn the things. Basically whole concept is about repetition and learning by your own interpretation of what you are learning.
Personally I found this method very useful because I used to learn stuff for a short time like I was forgetting everything after the exam 😂 but with this method, informations are recorded in my long term memory since I repeat it frequently. And revising questions are much more easier than normal notes. It helps me save time like I take a quick look at my keywords when I'm on subway.
So that's it! I hope you find it useful. Good luck with your studies!!
Ps: English is not my first language, I'm sorry if I did mistakes.
Your English is actually really good! Thanks for explaining the technique and your source in greater detail :)
@@emmaobrien5878 thank you so much! You're welcome, I'm happy to help! 😊
so reasonable! and, if I may say, I believe that this is probably the path most of us in the study community will follow. I'm constantly exposed to beautiful notes, new and awesome methods, and feel impelled to try them. But they all fail in the long run, and end up distracting me from actually learning. We're too busy excited with new and fancy tools too simply study. lol
1. *Pomodoro method:* _Don’t even get me started on this._ I tried it, trust me, I really did. I loved it when I heard of it and tried to incorporate it into my study routine for at least three years. But it just wasn’t my style of learning. I am the kind of person that loves taking long breaks (that actually feel like breaks and not toilet breaks) and to make up for it, read for hours on end. As long as I can remember before I started Pomodoro method, I did this. I’d even refuse to eat/ go on a washroom break until I really had to. I don’t know if it’s because I found the method worked for me or because I was raised or study that way since I was a kid. I would wake up, study, go to school, complete homework and then, I had free time to do anything I wanted. On holidays, I would wake up, study until 9/10 which was when I had breakfast and then I was allowed to go and play for a number of hours depending on the amount of work I had to do and whether or not I had any exams or tests in the coming week. I’d study hard, yes, but I also got a long free-time to do whatever I liked. And it worked for me until I found out about the Pomodoro method, loved it and tried to implement it in my life. I’d study for 25 minutes (that increased or decreased to make it work with my studying habit) and then take a five minute break (that too, increased or decreased a/c to the time I studied at a time), but it never worked. My studies started to decline and I thought that it was my fault. If I think about it, I started to procrastinate since I implemented the Pomodoro method. I didn’t even realise this before I was typing this comment. I went from straight As (or 97%+ as we had percentage system at the time) to barely getting 70% in my 10th grade (the time I started Pom. Method). I didn’t want to study at all because I’d be studying almost the whole day with this method, with no long breaks. This went on until my 12th grade. Which was last year. I would try to follow the Pomodoro method, get lazy, procrastinate (even though I didn’t want to) and do bad in studies even though I liked learning. I was not happy and my parents never saw me studying, which made them sad and as a result, I felt even worse. One thing I’m glad about this quarantine is that it allowed me to re-evaluate my studying method. Last week, I found a video about a medical student studying for four hours straight every morning and night and it was like a bell went off in me. I remembered that I once used to study like that, hours on hours during my most productive hours (mornings and evenings; well night too, but my parents are really strict about me getting good sleep, so I don’t get to stay up) and then spending my afternoons doing whatever I liked. It gave me enough time to study _and_ enough time for myself as well. Now, it’s been just a week since I started studying like this, four hours in the morning (8-12) with the time for breakfast as break, then 12-3:30 for doing whatever I like, which is me mostly watching TH-cam. Then I go for a run and come back and read a self-help book until 5 and then study again till 7/7:30 and then it’s free time again, however I use this time for learning new skills. It’s been a week (I started last Thursday) and I swear to you, I’ve studied more in this week than I’ve studied in the past six months we’ve spent in quarantine. I feel that I’ve finally rekindled my love for learning as I can now study without any timer distracting me every few minutes, and that to me, is really enjoyable. My parents see me learning and they are happy too, and that makes me want to learn even more (because I really love seeing the smile on their faces). I’ll definitely have to change it up a bit after I start college, but I’m never going back to the Pomodoro method EVER again.
I don’t even know why I wrote all this. I guess I wanted to share my experience and wanted to let anyone who stumbled into this comment know that sometimes, the things that work for everyone else doesn’t work for you. And it’s not your fault. Try different things (and not just in studies) until you find out the one(s) you love and which work for you. And my studies suffering wasn’t because the Pomodoro method was bad, it was just that it was not what worked for how I liked to study. And if it works for you, great! Please don’t let me or anyone else tell you otherwise.
Now, let’s move on to the lighter topics she mentioned:
2. *Flash cards:* Have never used a flashcard, never will. If I _have_ to memorise definitions I can’t remember, I write it in a piece of paper and try to link it with anything I know. I study science, so for example, if I can’t memorise laws, I link them with their relations which are much easier to remember.
3. *Cornell Method:* I gave up on Cornell method the second I learnt about it. It’s just not my style of studying. I’d rather memorise every date in the history of my country than use Cornell method.
4. *Bullet Journaling:* I wanted to try this, but it seemed too high maintenance. As you said, too much for a perfectionist who doesn’t have time to be a perfectionist. I didn’t want to make it as simple as the original version and I did not have time to try to make it as beautiful (or even functional and minimalistic) as all the BuJo people out there.
5. *Color:* I love colors. I study the best when I have colors dictating whether it’s the main topic, sub-topic, note, question, etc. However, I have found that hate it when my notes look like Christmas lights; a thousand colors in a page. So, I have made this method: I use colors, but in the same family (?) I guess? I use different shades of pink for all the topics, sub-topics, examples, etc. And then I use another color that stands out as the ones for questions. Or I use the same shade of pink but use different widths of the crayola I use to highlight, so I get the thick part as highlighter for the topic and then the thin part to underline sub topics and all that stuff. In this, I might use a different color for questions, or not. Depends.
So, I am really sorry for this essay of a comment, but her videos are so nice that they usually prompt a response from me.
Oh, my! I thought I was the only one! I always see people praising the Pomodoro studying method and it just doesn't work for me either. The clock to me is a distraction, a reason to continuously look at my phone, and I hate that, cause I'm the kind of person who will want to complete a task before the alarm rings and that will make me nervous and distract me during the process. Plus, I just don't enjoy the breaks, they aren't long enough to make me disconnect and I'll be sitting right there in front of my homework or whatever, thinking of the task and waiting for the studying time to start since I won't go to the toilet every 25 minutes and I always keep a jar full of water next to me exactly because of this, because I don't like wasting time over and over and that was what the breaks felt for me, a waste of time. I would say my brain works by immersing in the assignment, and it's quite annoying having to constantly unfocus because of a timer, I would very much rather getting it all done, or at least a defined section, so that in the break I'm not coming up with ideas or thinking about what I'm doing and I can really relax. Finishing a piece of my work will make me feel mental peace as well as a sensation of productivity I crave to stay motivated, meanwhile, thinking I'll have to go back to a task and get all over again into the mindset it requires would make me feel lazy and lead me into procrastinating.
Definitely, not a method that works for me, glad to see there are more people who can relate.
Totally agree that some methods are just way too high maintenance. What's important is experimenting and seeing what works for you! Great, informative, and honest video!
Use anki y’all. You create the flashcard and it tests you on the stuff you are weak on more often. Yes I love the idea of bullet journaling but I don’t have time to create everything from scratch.
Have you looked into the original bullet journal method, by Ryder Carroll? It doesn’t put any emphasis on trying to be a perfectionist and it’s pretty low maintenance. The idea is modularity and flexibility!
Sometimes the “problem” is just that it doesn’t fit. Even if the system itself is minimal and flexible, the user themselves has to be open and without the perfectionist mindset. Mariana has already tried to use the minimal bujo system at the start but it rarely worked, as shown from her past videos .
For me I tried using a bullet journal but it got impossible to keep up with. There were a lot of things that were in my bujo that I wouldn’t typically use in a regular planner, but I figured out a method that I can use with a printed planner to make it less complicated and as low maintenance as possible. I like having the monthly spread and the weekly spreads all mapped out so that I don’t have to do it
I think its just not meant for her. Part of her problem is that she wants to look a certain way each time. She also doesn’t want it to change every time she uses it but that’s what the system is meant to do. It isn’t meant to look like anything and it _is_ meant to change and be an amalgam because it was made to accommodate inattentive brains like the creator’s (who had ADHD) that need structure to maintain the information they take in but either easily become bored by or feel pressured by rigid systems. You don’t have to have ADHD to use a bullet journal but I would say you definitely have to be a certain kind of person. If you aren’t the type to stop using traditional planners after maybe a month, aren’t the type to doodle all over random pages, aren’t the type to scared by skipped days in a planner and giving up, aren’t someone who loses or forgets meeting notes or numbers on random bits of paper, or aren’t a compulsive list maker in need of a consolidation tool, you probably won’t find much use in a bullet journal the way the system is outlined
@@powerpuff4ever Nope. It doesn't have to change at all, if you found your personal style, you can go with it for months. I use the same outline since 18 months, only thing changing are the months/week/dates for obvious reasons. Also the "systems outline" is do what fits you. The only type of person you have to be is prioritizing aesthetics. Go with purpose/ use instead of looks and it works.
Which is basically her problem with all of these points. The perfect look without adapting it to your own needs is high maintenance, whatever you use.
I totally agree with you... The original method is plain and simple, it doesn´t take more than a few minutes to set it up. I only care about using a black pen for it. Very low maintenance. I have been using it for 18 months.
You can use digital flashcards like anki THEY ARE AMAZING
Agree
I am really a lazy one and never had a routine in my life and I tried journals , planners ect...I tried my best every year but always failed.i felt so miserable and bad about myself ,thinking that I cant have routine in my life .so I stopped watching study channels but never unsubscribed and after seeing this video in my feed I was glad I clicked on it ...thank you so much for making videos like this .therefore realising I am not the only one.btw all the cute or popular stationeries are either expensive or hard to find .so I gave up bujo
It’s such a relief that I’m not the only one that do not use these methods! It’s so important to find what’s right for you and not what everyone else is doing! Thanks for sharing!!! 💗💗
Instead of making flashcards I transform the textbook content in a question and answer style format in 2 columns in excel
I did something similar. I would use Google Docs for concepts and Quizlet for vocab. I would make practice tests in Google Docs that I would take by handwriting my answers in a notebook. I marked up and graded my answers in my notebook. When I revisited a topic where I already completed my practice test, I would use a mini whiteboard to write out my answers and use the notebook as the answer key. For Quizlet, I had the app on my computer and phone. I would quiz myself on the vocab and star the terms I got incorrect.
I dont get bullet journals they're sooo time consuming. All i need is a monthly spread and a to do list. I also use my digital calender and thats basically it
*Says thank you in 10 languages* No but seriously this is so helpful since so many people want efficiency/aesthetically pleasing notes but study methods like flash cards for example take too much time depending on the content, especially since flash cards are meant to hold condensed material, it’s better to use apps for that since you save time. Also on the subject of aesthetically appealing notes: I think that ends up being less useful since when we focus on making notes appealing we aren’t paying attention to the content sometimes. It’s why I end up forgetting things I spent ages on, only to realise it was a waste of time. [Also: Active recall is very effective but you’re gonna need to be consistent with it]
My sophomore year in high school i became addicted to those studygram notes that I tried making them in my notes. It was impossible because i always made mistakes that would throw everything off. I’m a huge perfectionist, so I figured hyper neat notes would come easy to me. Turns out that is NOT the case at all. The biggest thing i needed to do was not worry about things like symmetry, super neat handwriting (as long as it’s legible), and all the color. I will say that using the same colors gets boring after a while, so I like to be spontaneous and have different color themes for different units. For Unit 1 I might have a monochromatic blue theme, then for Unit 2 I give myself the OK to do maybe a red and orange theme. The bulk of my notes are still in black ink, but things like highlights or vocab words that I write with a bold color change over time to keep me interested in note taking.
For active recall, i made a Leitner method study tool through Notion. It has questions in the “thumbnail” then when you click into the page it shows the answer. I like to do this as a way to quiz myself on topics. I typically make my vocab flashcards on quizlet, and I also cut a normal sized index card in half write them down.
Piage Fabez woah that’s sounds like a great method, as long as it works for you that is and omg yes I totally understand the whole ‘Perfectionist’ idea, I used to get so annoyed when my titles were wonky etc but now that my studies are more serious it’s just easier to let it slide..kinda.
@@piagebot2943 I know this comment is a month old, but I would love to know how you set up a leitner method study tool in notion
I think the best way of finding what method works for you is by trying everything. If one method doesnt work for you then try another one. This process of elimination can, however, take a lot of time, so I suggest trying these during youre free time only, or only try methods that already seem feasible to you. I do it during our summer break so I have plenty of time and I dont have to deal with the fear of my grades plummeting just for testing a new thing.
There are many resources available to you which may help in finding a method that works, there are books, youtubers, bloggers, etc.
Never forget that what works for someone else will necessarily work for you, and that PEOPLE CHANGE! our brain changes over time! This may mean having to discard a method that has worked for you for 5 years or having to try a method that hasn't worked for you in the past but may work now. Take care of yourself too!
I totally agree that there are some super popular methods that just don't work for me! For me its calendar blocking, because I feel like it does take away all my flexibility, which I do need as I have a good handful of responsibilities, as well as digital note taking/"going paperless". because while it is definitely influenced by my love for stationary, even working on an iPad did not work. Maybe its because a piece of paper forces me to be more on point because I cant edit or resize? And Bullet Journals... My "bullet journal" is a glorified to do list with a space to write down my spendings and also a separate page here and there for bigger essays. Every page ist full of washi and stickers and deco (nothing hand drawn tho) because I like the way it looks and the fact that the deco is FAR from neat and minimalist helps with not having to be perfect, neat or minimalist in my writing!
I personally use flashcards as the last step of learning new content, that is a summary of things in my own words. At that point I mostly know what is the key of that particular content. Then I summarize the content into a 3*5 flashcard worth of information, nothing more than that. This forces me to comprehend the main points. I write things on the card from memory, then check if they’re all correct. So I guess it’s more like a summary card for me.
I’ve never used bullet journals, a planner works better for me personally; for the tomato timing technique, I totally agree with what you said, (breaking the focus). I feel like these things really depends on how you study and what you study. Say I’ll write an essay, taking breaks every 25 mins would be very distracting. I prefer working 2-3hrs a time :)
Love your video as always!🧡🧡🧡
the way i nod to almost everything on this video! i really relate so much to you with these techniques. thank for sharing your alternatives, will try if it will work for me. thank you
YES Notion is a m a z i n g! I just discovered it and I am so obsessed lol
I love your one sentence note taking technique . It works so well for me and I actually learn a great deal in such a short amount of time
I think testing out and finding what suits to us is the best way.
Omg saammmee... I agree with all the points, especially the bulle journaling one. I never used a bullet journal but did the same stuff on the a4 sheets, and every time I thought if a better layout, I have to make a new one. And notion has helped me so much, I kept sections of sections of sections related data on pages and here also notion is such a life saver. I have changed my layout so many times and it's so easy on the notion
You need to take a look at RemNote for flash cards and spatial repetition. Obsidian and Roam Research are great for tasks, note taking all with back linking.
I also spent a lot of time on making bullet journal layout me that I went to a weekly planner and a daily planner for notes. I found it to be a way to procrastinate.
another video to add to my mariana's study corner watch later list!
(and yes i cannot color code my handwritten notes or start bullet journaling cause the perfectionist within me would scream at me every 10 seconds)
YES THANK YOU!
In terms of study techniques I found that it's best to forget to apply one technique for all studies. Every class is different, every teacher is different and so is the material provided for you. Try to figure out which way to take notes/revise/study in the first lesson for each course individually!
i love your back to school series!
OMG this is very similar to me,Im too worried to give up the technique because it works for everyone but not me,so I thought that I'm just putting excuses about it AND not realizing that I started to loose the study spirit when keep doing it so. Now,I have found what fits me and not scared to give up the one that don't.
Love this! :) Thanks for sharing what you've learned...it makes me feel better that I am not the only person that has "failed" at these techniques!
Do you have thoughts on Asana vs Notion? I prefer Asana and have switched since I learned about Notion from you.
Such a great video! (prepare for the long dissertation lol, I'm sorry)
I agree with you with the pomodoro technique. I like have to focus, but I actually need a longer period of time-focusing. So if I use it, I usually go for 50 minutes with 10 mins break. And if I feel I'm not in the day for concentrating, I just let it go. If I'm in the middle of a task I usually switch off the alarm and keep focusing, no one will have any problem if I don't stick with the technique.
I sorta agree with bullet journal. I like my things and I know what I need. I have just a monthly spread, in which I write my appointments and things I have to do in a long period (because for things I actually have to remember I use the to do lists on my phone, which gave me a quiet notification). I don't find myself using a digital planner, so I stick with the most simple and short bj ever, lol.
A friend of mine presented me the Cornell method saying it was THE method. I never understood how even use it, and tracing everytime a bunch of lines was stressing. And, I love A5 format, so this method is space and time consuming.
I confess, I never used a flashcard in my life. I find them time consuming, paper consuming and the one time I tried, it got me more confused than just writing down and repeating out loud as I normally do. So it's a no-no.
And for colors, I'm a one-color-per-section person: if a book has 5 chapters so I use yellow-orange-pink-blue-green highlighter or pencil per chapter, coloring just the key words. In this way I can remember the consequencies of the things in every chapter (I am a fan of the _rem tene verba sequentur_ line, if you know your matter, the words will come).
(Edit: spelling mistake argh)
I think I must have experienced some kind of Stockholm syndrome with cornell notes because I was forced to use them through all of high school 😂 I don’t know if its actually as revolutionary as its said to be but I think its the least high maintenance for me. I write my notes with an outline method on the right during class, write questions or any vocabulary or dates to the left during first revision, summary during second. They function kind of like a flashcard foldable or any other sort of split page notes that way and the summaries have actually been _so helpful_ for essay writing because I always seem to have a thesis statement somewhere in there. I think they must be better for people that are kind of inherently pretty unstructured in their thinking
Online flashcards through quizlet are really nice for learning vocabulary. Not only do you save SO MUCH paper, but they also have definition suggestions which speeds up the creation process. Quizlet will also make mini practice quizzes/games from your flashcard set which made the time spent to make them much worth it as well.
Hey I love love love your videos. I've been a subscriber for around 2 years now and I have one request. Please consider bringing the transcriptions back. It's one of the reasons why I watch your videos because you put those there to save our time bc I tend to get carried away with the video and not pay attention the actual content so that helps me to really understand that. I understand if you don't want to, but do consider it. Love you! Oh and thanks for making this video because I was looking for exactly this lol 💛
OMYGOD I wish I had seen this video before writing out 100 key terms and their definitions yesterday UGH lol, better late then never and thank you for sharing!!🤗🙏🏼🙏🏼
I totally agree with everything that you said! Thank you for making this video, at least now I know I'm not the only one who feels this way.
For me I use index cards that I cut in half as vocab flash cards. I also put them on quizlet as I write them. Not only does it force me to write down the same information, but it’s helpful if for some reason I forget my flash cards when I want to study (and i can also share it with my friends in that class so they can study too). I only use paper flash cards for vocab, unless I have a teacher that wants me to turn in physical flashcards. I will say that I like the leitner method for studying flashcards, so I made a leitner study tool template in notion that helps with active recall. I used to do it physically, but it’s actually better online. Not only can you set it up on any device that supports notion, but when you’re done studying for the day you can just close your computer instead of having to organize and put away all your flash cards (and potentially lose them).
I love how you give alternatives
This video was so helpful, thank you most times I so not used any of these study methods they dont work, I just simply study and memorize. Simple and short.😘🥰
Such an interesting video, love your content Mariana, keep up the good work!! :)
In bullet journal you don't need to prepare any spreads in advance
What are your thoughts on calendar and to-do list apps? Do you prefer the planner instead? I was considering Laurel Planner, which is similar to yours, but I find myself wanting to shift away from journal style planners due to experiencing the very issues you outlined for bullet journaling. Thanks in advance!
Agreed on the flashcards, and the Pomodoro technique. Never suited me in studying, though with timed tasks like writing sprints, it's quite useful. I unfortunately can't say no to colour though! It depends on what you're studying, I think, because if I write my physics and chemistry notes all in the same colour, my head spins. I need those colours (though only usually one or two per lesson) for graphs and element structures and though it's troublesome at times, I find its worth it to easily absorb the information. Otherwise, awesome video! No one should feel beholden to methods that don't work for them just because they're popular!
I like your videos very much...i am improved so much in my studies seeing your tips and tricks...you are awesome..
I like method with colour and accurate handwriting. I use it when watching video-tutorials and I always have the opportunity to pause video to correct my notes. But later when I use my notes, that s very good to see clear text
Hi. Love your videos! How can I find this entire series for back to school? Is it in your playlists? Thank you!
I have been an old subscriber of yours!!!!!!
You inspire me so much to keep uploading content on my own channel!!!
Love you dear❣️❣️
I bought a good note full year bullet journal template made by someone else and it literally saved me so much.
i just started bujo this yr, it's not that aesthetic and a mess but it became a habit. also i found out about notion which is my go to digital journal too for more tasks and active recall app that im gonna try this semester!!
For flashcards, I suggest "quizlet" which can be used as both an app and online as electronic flashcards. You don't have to waste paper, and it's so much faster to type the definitions then flip through the flashcards on your phone.
Thank you for the video!
I studied a coursera course that mentioned that the pomodoro method was made for people who have a problem with starting a task and focusing. If you start the 25 minutes and finish it with feeling like you don’t want to stop for a break then it is recommended to continue until you feel like you need a break ( even a short one.)
Thank you for your video. You answered all my doubts here. I use Notion as well and it made my life a lot easier. Do you use goodnotes?
Thank you for this video it is really helpful
Thank you. Your videos are very helpful. Because I am a visual learner flash cards are helpful for me. But that second method is also awesome.
Cornell method is not a really helpful technique for me. I preferred to make summary notes and pictures. Thank you for sharing.
Also stay happy and healthy. 😇😇😇
I get the flashcards thing, but there are actually websites where you can make and keep them online or on apps(I don't know whether these are restricted solely to students though - some people like using flashcards for presentations and such too) and keep them organised without printing.
I used a random flashcards app for my finals and it worked
@@Guaquinxhay 😊 that's amazing! Flashcards have helped me too but they aren't for everyone.
I feel the same as Mariana about flashcards however I didnt give up on them I know they are super efficient but I find myself using pre made anki from Zanki it's not the same but it's what it is I dont really have time to do them and when I did them I found myself not being able to keep my studies on time😥
@@kaytee789 I usually do them when I'm reading my notes
@@Guaquinxhay I know I did the same but it was time consuming for me, I even those gigantic textbooks and take notes from them it might be ineffective but it helps me so much, my teacher doctors send so much work to do so I don't have time for making them😓 so premade + Q&A from books websites are what helps for now
Rachael Stephen has a great video about the bullet journal problem, it is called what I was doing wrong with the bujo or something. She actually described the same issue that you have and how she fixed it. I put in practice some of the things that she said and it simplified the method a lot. Maybe watch it if you to want use the bullet journal but are still struggling with it idk
I should try the flash card alternative for all my languages! If I told up a piece of paper, I could have at least 90+ words on each side. But how to store them? Pencil bags in a binder, perhaps? A different color for each language?
Instead of writing individual flashcards, use Quizlet app. It's easy to use and edit! Btw, I also dropped bullet journaling this since las semester and switched to using Notion. I love it!
Os teus vídeos são extremamente úteis. Como aluna que vai entrar para a universidade os teus métodos de estudo ajudam imenso
Thanks for the topics
Can I know the type and model of the tablet you are using?
Tysm for this video 💜
Super Random but what kind of case do you use on your ipad ? I'm looking for like it that's slim but protective.
Hi Mariana!! Could you do a video about your stationary like pens, pencils etc?? Love your channel 😊💖
For me using so many colourd help because i know what colour I need to look for
Green - name
Orange - tables or things that could be tables
Blue - definition
Yellow - general important information i feel could be asked on exams or I find hard to remember
Then I would prefer different colours for domains and headings because they help me remember
Teaching to someone is one of the best ways to learn a topic 😊
does anyone know the brand of the paper in 01:55 ? i can’t remember it but it’s such high quality. thanks
Mariana, have you checked out ANKI for “flash cards”? It’s a digital system very popular in medical school for memorization and recall. Many also use ANKI to learn a language.
Thank you for suggestion! Is it free and does it limit the number of words/terms you can write down?
dr. Hannibal Lecter web version is free and so is the android version. The iOS app is 25 dollars though but the web app works perfectly
This video is so important to be taught in schools
I like to use quizlet to make flash cards and if i get a question wrong I go back to the chapter and read it again and write down why it was wrong and while also explaining why the correct answer was write and it helps with learning the information again
Great video!
For me flashcards are definitely still worth it. It is extremely helpful for me to be able to sort the cards based on how well I know the term/word.
Yeah I agree with you regarding the Cornell method...it is much time consuming and is least effective
hi!! can you talk a little bit more about getting rid of the pomodoro technique when working on projects? (this is different from studying for an exam) i'm currently trying to do 50/10, but it doesn't always work. i also try to set goals daily without the time blocking, but a good number of tasks always gets pushed to the end of the week :(
These all are so true for me!!!
"Especially for a perfectionist who does not have the time to be a perfectionist" On point!
Cornell method has been very helpful for me however i have modified it and does not work with every course in pharmacy but it is very effective and simple
Which is the physical organiser / planner that you use and why?
i love the pomodoro method but only when i'm rewriting notes and not when actively working on something. but i motified the original times and i do 30mns then 5mn break, again 30mns then 15mn break
What app do you use for note taking on your iPad?
what's the name of the device you use to write linked with your laptop ?
@mariana I don’t like using flash cards for the same reason as you do It just takes so much time to make it
Notion -> Toggle for memory/recall. 👍
You can use quizlet, it's an
online flashcards and you will not loose them. Just type them out and you're good to go 😁
i am completely agree with you ❤️💛❤️
You can try digital flashcards if u feel them to be a too much waste of paper. I do the same!😄
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE
Bullet Journals... follow the minimalist Bullet Journal method by creator Ryder Carrol, and NOT the high maintenance ‘Pinterest’ version examples that you see displayed here🙄. The skills you learn through Bullet Journalling (Ryder’s method), will set you up for eventually transferring your habits to digital based programs like Notion.
Literally true video
Yes thank you! i don’t really like flash cards, and the foldable technique would be so much better for me!
the comment section of this video is honestly soo helpful

All these processes are flawed if you are not actively engaged with the material. For instance my studies is computer science but it was once biology. For biology it was important to keep accurate diagrams and pathways. So needed more structured notes and focused on memorization. Now that I am getting another degree is computer science the focus is more in practicing coding so my notes are more loose so a note system with tags is more useful as reference.
Those methods never worked for me!! Totally agree with u
Love your videos
Hope your channel becomes the most famous
And you have the most ever subscribers 😘😘😘😘👍👍👍👏👏👏😄😄😄😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗
Where is the purple squared paper from ?
Use Anki for flashcards, as the system that many medical school students use!
Brasiiiilll!
Olha, bujo não é pra mim... já tentei e logo vi que era muito “trabalho”, quando eu realmente tinha que escrever, estava cansada se preparar tudo kkkk.
Notion tem sido meu favorito até o momento..
All you have said is what I am trying to do for the next school year ugghh haha 😅😅
Ehat happen to your filofax planner system?
CANNOT AGREE MORE
I totally agree with you
