school essentials - tips

last lap of mugging for exams!!!

i thought i would share some tips that will help you save time, and some money. 

 save time tip:

plan your mugging timetable. 

aim for one that allows you to plan what you target to finish in the day, 

factor in 'events' that will eat into your time. 

if you are that kind that makes time very elastic, 

dont attempt to plan a time table that goes down to the details of 

how much time you want to spend on mugging a certain mod or chapter.

that will backfire most of the time and make you depressed, 

and eventually, you will give up altogether your entire revision plan, 

so dont try this move.

minimise any chances of 'depressing' yourself while mugging, 

because you dont want that to affect your mood. 

 save money tip:

highlighters are useful, but we all know they dry out really soon, 

and during the course of 1 sem, i buy at least 5 highlighters of the same colour.

consider that i use only 1 highlighter for everything i need to highlight.

now if you use more than 1 colour, 

you will have to buy even more of each of the colours you use. 

 and highlighters are not not cheap. the cheapest i ever found is 85cents. 

so here's a cheap option: old school crayon. 

55cents for 1, lasts me through out the entire sem! 

(i am in the last week of my sem)

bonus about it, its environmentally friendly!

(*in this photo i highlighted my notes with the green crayon, works perfectly for me)

alternatively, if you want more colours, 

buy a box of wax crayons instead.

works just as well, with a rage of colours to choose from. 

if you are afraid that the colour might be too dark, 

highlight under the words, or just rub the crayon lightly over the words. 

hope that helps you with saving some time for more rest,

and some money to buy a treat for yourself.
