hello it's 70 pH studying and yes yes
here it is finally a video about my
infamous TV sheets and I promise I'll
try to go more in depth about it rather
than my usual answer of just put
whatever you want on a sheet of paper
hole or something like that and thank
you to Squarespace for sponsoring this
video
so you all probably know this already
but Squarespace is a platform where you
can build your own website using
templates and widgets and other cute
little things it's ultra easy and ultra
athletic and all you do is fill out the
template change up the fonts and colors
to your own desires and create something
that expresses your own vision and dream
I've been slowly building my web site
over the month during spare study breaks
and yeah I probably should have finished
a faster but my entire experience with
the platform was fantastic so definitely
check out the link in the description to
take a look at Squarespace and try it
for yourself now for the study guide
first off I start with a simple sheet of
paper and they're writing materials I'm
going to use I like using a ruler for
diagrams and graphs and a pencil for
math work or lighter notes on the side
in addition to my usual pen and
highlighter in terms of colors I like to
stick with two colors at maximum because
I don't want to be too overwhelmed by
color also get your textbook up or
whatever else you need to study like
powerpoints notes from class etc I also
like to set myself a timer for about an
hour for a single unit because I don't
want to spend too much time on one
subject and hour and a half as good for
cases when you're genuinely liking the
foundation you need in that subject and
that extra 30 minutes will give you time
to really reach yourself but remember
this is a review sheet you already
learned all the material so there's no
need to spend more time than you need to
I'm using the app for us to help keep
myself off my phone and stay focused
after that I slap down a header with
calligraphy because I like being
aesthetic and extra but yeah just put
down the header about the topic that
you're going to be reviewing after that
it's pretty much a blank slate I
generally end up with like a two-column
stuff or a4 sheets of paper but if it's
b5 a5 or something small like that I
usually just go with one column on that
single page from there I go topic by
topic or for this video chapter by
chapter for the unit I condensed it
information down to the least amount of
words that I can and I try to rephrase
things into my own words this forces me
to actively interact with the material
and
learning helps slam things into your
long-term memory you know those times
when you just read through a textbook
and highlight things but it never really
sticks in your head or it just goes in
one ear and out the other
yeah that's passive learning active
learning makes you really interact with
the material and work with it and some
additional things about my review sheets
I don't like using more than one piece
of paper for one unit or something
larger than a4 size because then that
can potentially lead to a bad cycle of
rewriting notes where you would just end
up copying down your notes or your
textbook word-for-word and without any
concise stuff and then your hand hurts a
lot and then you waste a lot of time in
yada yada yada all of that you don't
need to rewrite everything because
you've already learned all of these
things before just use key information
and if you can't identify key
information try thinking about the thing
that you're thinking about in the
subject as a whole if you don't know
this one thing will it impair your
learning of the entire subject does it
really matter in terms of the whole unit
for example you don't really need to
know when George Washington went to the
bathroom or when he started dating or
whatever but you will have to know when
he became the first president of the
United States or another example is you
don't need to know the atomic number of
silicon because you're probably going to
get a periodic table to use during the
test things like that don't need to be
written down all the time another thing
that might help is the bolded words in a
textbook or sometimes textbooks have
condensed review sections in the back of
the chapter that can help you figure out
what's important or not ultimately this
is a method I love because my review
sheets are easier to carry around than a
giant textbook or binder they're also
easier to skim through before class
because there's just one page you can
put all the sheets you've made together
in a folder to have an entire years
worth of review and it's light easy
convenient and fun to make because I
don't know I just like doing calligraphy
and coming up with color palettes to use
I don't know like you might just be me
but I don't know it's exciting
again I what is it just spending all of
your time on them they're meant to be a
review and that's that like it's not a
work of art your calligraphy header
shouldn't take up like half the page
it's just review condense all that
information down for the test so thank
you so much for watching and thank you
to Squarespace for sponsoring this video
please click the link of the description
to check them out and good luck with
your next classes
hopefully this method works out for you
and I'll see you in the next video bye
