Hi friends, it’s Janice ☁️ It’s been a long time. If you’re still around, hi + thank you. I decided to make a YouTube video to explain why I left, where I’ve been, and what my plans are. It took me a long time to even muster up the courage to make a short video but I owe you guys that much. Thank you for watching and for understanding! I look forward to what’s to come ♥️

It happens to the best of us 🥺
Cramming for exams means you’re studying for something when you have a less than ideal amount of time. What ends up happening is you have a lot of content to go over in a short amount of time! ⏳
𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠
❌ You’re unlikely to be learning or solidifying anything
✅ Your focus will mainly be on supporting your short-term memory
❌ You probably won’t get the greatest mark ever
✅ You will need to prioritize your content
𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐓-𝐃𝐎 𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠
✏️ Write down a list of all topics that will be tested, and start with the one you know least about
⏰ Barely have any time? Spend little or no time at all on the relatively easier topics
⭐️ Alternatively, start with material you KNOW will be on the exam
🎥 Rewatch lectures on 1.5x speed and write down key points
📚 Don’t read whole chapters - read the chapter summary/reviews for the key points, then go back for details if needed
📝 Make a one-page “cheat” sheet of notes, which will challenge you to prioritize the key ideas
💬Make stupid sounding mnemonics because stupid-sounding ones are always the most memorable
🧠 Do past/practice exams because they test your application and you can learn as you go
📖 Review practice questions/case studies/homework if exam content is coming from there
🔗 Condense notes into flowcharts or diagrams to make them more visually engaging and memorable
🛌 Don’t skip sleep! Cramming doesn’t mean you can’t sleep!
This isn’t an exhaustive list of tips, but if you do have some to share, leave them in the comments!

You’ve probably heard of the saying “Study smart, not hard” 💭 But what does it mean?
In my experience, studying smart means using active study/learning methods and maximizing your time spent on weaker areas ✔️ This is the difference between spending 5 hours highlighting/rewriting everything from your textbook versus spending 5 hours rewriting only what you need to, quizzing yourself, and making active connections between ideas.
Here are some things you can do to study smart:
📖 On the same day after your lecture, briefly go over the the topics you learned in class to help you retain the info. You’re more likely to forget new info if you don’t review them regularly (Google The Forgetting Curve)
🧠 Decide which topics are your weak areas and focus on improving those areas
⏱ Space out your study sessions. It helps to study in small chunks to avoid overwhelming yourself. Pomodoro technique is useful for this!
📚 Have mandatory textbook prereadings? Try reading the Chapter Review/Summary first to get the key points and gist of the topic, then dive into the details after. Ask if textbook material will be tested.
📚 Supplementary readings? If you want to be efficient, don’t waste time reading them unless you don’t understand the topic well enough. Ask if textbook material will be tested.
⛓ Active learning 👉🏻 Make connections when reading and taking notes. Is what you’re reading/writing down related to something else you read/wrote down earlier? How are these ideas connected? This is a method of learning that will really solidify the info in your head. Make flowcharts to express these connections!
📝 Test yourself by making up questions for active recall! See my active recall reel.
🔍 Find past exams or papers that you can use to apply your learning.
❌ Don’t mindlessly highlight your entire textbook or note pages. You’re not picking out key ideas.
❌ Don’t rewrite every single piece of info. Rewrite notes on topics you need more review on.
❌ Don’t overwork yourself. Take a day off per week and focus on you.
Hope this helps! ❤️

This is not an exhaustive list as many things can cause someone to fall behind in school. If there is anything you’d like to add or any advice you’ve found to be helpful, please leave them below in the comments! I particularly am interested in hearing any advice about balancing work and full-time school as I did not have much experience with this and therefore don’t have anything helpful for students in this situation! So PLEASE share anything you think would be helpful for others! 😍

It’s a beautiful sunny day outside today but I’m choosing to stay in to plan out content for you guys! ⛅️ I’m planning an all new 2021 video comparison between GoodNotes & Notability since more and more students are getting into iPad notetaking. The last video I did was a couple years ago now and since then, GoodNotes 5 has come out and Notability has also released a few updates. Which one do you prefer more and why? I’d love to hear your thoughts!! 👇🏻

💬 What is your fave genre of books? I love crime thrillers and mystery 📖 I used to read a lot of fantasy novels as a child (and even loved writing my own stories) but nowadays I enjoy consuming this genre in films and TV.
I’ve tried to read the Expanse books time and again (pictured here is Leviathan Wakes) but I’m not sure why I just can’t get into it. Is it the writing style? Do I lack imagination? 😂 I’d rather watch the TV adaptation! I soo wanted to get into the book because I’ve heard amazing things but I may just have to give up now 🥴
Thanks to for these beautiful frames ✨

💡REMINDER: Productivity comes in waves!
Once upon a time, I used to feel like garbage for laying around and letting myself have a break from work. But students should realize that this mindset of having to grind/work hard non-stop is probably what’s making them burnout (at least in my case it was!)
My energy was drained but I thought I had to keep going ‘cause apparently I wasn’t gonna see results if I let myself step away. There’s truth to this, I guess, but the effort I put in became lower in quality as I became more mentally exhausted. In other words, I was a clown in denial of what I truly needed 🤡
Just let yourself recharge. Whether it’s a day or two in the week, just forget everything else and do what helps you regain that energy. For me, sometimes it’s just laying around and that’s okay! I’ve made it this far haven’t I 🤣
PLEASE take care of yourselves. School is important but your health is more important 💕

What are you studying? 👇🏻
Hope everyone had a great first week of their new semester. Online classes seem to be the norm for most of us now - it’s been nearly a year (A YEAR!!) since schools started toying around with the idea of online school. Are you still doing in-person classes or online?
Also, I never tried Cornell in landscape mode until I made this notebook and I’m in love 😍 These notebooks are going to be available tomorrow morning at around 10-11 AM PST on both my website and Etsy!

What’s your fave paper template to take notes on? 👇🏻
I’m using The Modern Notebook for these notes () 📖✏️ Tbh I was quite put off from some paper templates (including my free ones) having really visible grids which were a bit distracting when reading over my notes. So I ended up designing these ones with soft lines which are still visible when taking notes but not distracting when reviewing them. The whole point being to make your notes stand out more 😊 There’s a white paper version that uses the same design principles as well!
