Hey guys!!

 

I hope everyone is having a splendid day :)) Today, I wanted to talk about the different methods of organization for studying/school work as well as developing time management skills on a more general level. As my midterms are approaching, and my workload is getting heavier, this is becoming more applicable as reminders for myself too!


My first favorite tool in college so far has been Google Calendar. I cannot survive without looking at my schedule on my calendar. I have all of my classes highlighted with a specific color, and then I have my campus jobs under their own color organization. I also have my personal (FUNNN events with my friends and also more serious things like appointments and meetings) calendar. I will include a screenshot below: 


My second favorite organizational tool is my Notion, through which I have put all of my courses and classes in an organized fashion that is also aesthetically pleasing. It is one of my prized possessions, and I have spent so much time making it look pretty and professional too! I will include a screenshot of that below, but Notion is not only good for organizing and note taking, it is also a great platform to utilize AI in customization. 

All of the sections you see above are their own links to individual pages that I have either customized or found an online Notion template for. As I said earlier, I have spent hours cultivating this beautiful masterpiece, and I am rightfully very proud of it. I value the different aspects of it, and I wish for it to grow with more content as I do! Here is another snippet, and this one is from my current semester layout with my classes organized; It is the Fall 2024 page.

I know these are very time consuming methods of organizing information for school, but that is what is most effective and important to me. There are other ways to maintain methods of studying without much time! This is why it is important to spend time figuring out what works best for you. 

 

You guys got this! I believe in you :)) – Sejal out!
