One of my all time favorite ways to use sticky notes
is to use them to replace flashcards.
Instead of carrying around all of your cards,
you can simply stick them in your notes
and test yourself whilst you read.
For this, you only need two sets of sticky notes,
preferably in different colors and
of the same size.
First, I will write the answer in one of my sticky notes,
which I will normally do in bullet form
so I know which topics I should mention to
get the right answer.
And, in the other sticky note,
I will write the main title, topic or question.
Now, all you have to do is stick them on top of one another,
and you have your improvised flashcards.
You can either arrange a whole notebook with these sticky notes
or just incorporate them into your study materials,
so you can assess your knoweldege on the way.
This can also be a cheaper alternative for some people
since, in many countries,
a pack of flashcards can be quite expensive.
Another great way to
make the most out of your unused pack
of sticky notes is
making mind maps
The good thing about is
is that you can re-arrange the topics
as you go along since
since each sticky note is independent from each other.
And also, reorganize your mindmaps
on notebooks, your table or
as I like to do during finals,
on an empty wall.
You can either use your regular sticky notes or,
like I recommend
get these Magnetic Notes from Tesla Amazing.
These don't have any glue on them,
and simply stick to any material.
They come in a whole array of colors and sizes
and you can simply slide them along the wall
to reposition them
and, if you need to,
take them away and put them in your notebooks
when you are tired of seeing everything on your wall.
If you are a very visual learner,
studying with colorful mindmaps can
can really help you on the way for better grades
because your mind will associate certain information
to a certain color and
and a certain position on a chart.
That will let you reference better your materials,
and you will remember much more while you are taking an exam
or writing an assignment.
Also, keeping these mindmaps on your wall
during finals
can help you memorize better since all
the information you need to remember will
be sticked on your wall
and you will end up looking at it everytime you enter or leave your room.
