Trying Out A New Addition To The Bullet Journal

If you’ve ever taken a biology/anatomy/psych class, you’ve probably have some diagrams to memorize. I recently had an exam on brain structure in my bio psych class and I found that this method really helped me remember the diagrams and it didn’t take too long either!! Here’s what I did: 

1. Print/Copy your diagrams. Should be pretty straight forward. It doesn’t have to be in color (chances are your exam isn’t either!). I’d recommend printing 2 copies

2. White out the labels. Go through and put a small sticky note or use some white out! I’d only do this one copy so you have the second one as a reference. 

3. Number the parts you whited-out. This way you only have to use one copy instead of printing out multiple copies! Copy the numbers on the second copy you printed (this is now your key!) 

4. Fill it out. Practice filling out the diagram on a separate piece of paper. I like to first copy the labels, and then try it from memory the second time around. 

5. Correct your labels. Go through with a contrasting color and check your work! re-write correct answers next to anything you got wrong. I like using a bright/different color because it helps me remember the label! 

6. Practice!! Nothing’s going to help you more than practicing your diagram. I would go over the diagram at least 5 times (or more if you haven’t gotten them all down yet). Try practicing the diagrams or filling in the numbers in random orders.  

For reference, here’s how I usually do it!: 

Good luck to everyone, and happy memorizing :)

Check yourself before you wreck yourself!

a bullet journal is a customizable journal where you can keep track of the things that you need to do. what you basically do is write down the things that you need to do for today and check off things like a to-do list. it’s designed to be more flexible and customizable than a planner. you can organize however you want and write down whatever you want in it. you can look at the official website and watch the original video. however, i adapted the journal, and so, it’s not exactly like a “traditional” bullet journal.

journal

you can use whatever notebook you wish. some people prefer gridded notebooks because it makes it easier to divide up into boxes and stuff. i would’ve used a composition notebook but i ended up using something else. however, you do not need to have an expensive moleskine notebook or super expensive pens or whatnot. don’t buy into the hype. you can use whatever you have.

monthly spread

i like having a monthly spread so that i can keep track of upcoming dates. as you can see, i glued in a calendar that i drew on graph paper. i also like to write down interesting quotes / passages with each month. this time, it was a passage from shakespeare’s “romeo and juliet.” i also like to pick a color scheme for the month and stick to those colors for the remainder of the month.

daily tasks

i just list out all of the various things that i have to do for the day. many people like coming up with a color key or a legend to differentiate their tasks. however, i easily forget symbols and get too lazy to switch out colors, so i don’t really bother with it. i used to keep a little W: for a water tracker, but now, i use an app to track my daily water intake. the symbols i use: boxes for tasks, circles for sub-tasks, bullet points for appointments/events

deadlines

i write down deadlines / test dates on a sticky note and stick it on that spread. if you look closely in the first picture, you can see a sticky note covering the little eiffel tower on the right. if the deadline hasn’t come yet, i transfer it onto the next weekly sticky note.

extra things

i’m in key club, so i keep a page by my monthly spread to keep track of my volunteer hours. i also have pages for books that i want to read, a wishlist of things that i’d like, etc etc. i also like to stick in some bits of interesting washi tapes, reminders written on sticky tabs, little doodles, etc. it’s your bullet journal!! do whatever you want in it! you have the freedom to make it yours. 

here’s a post i made a while ago showing my bullet journal and here’s my tag on bullet journals that you can look through. remember: you don’t have to have your bullet journal exactly like mine. experiment a little bit! also, it’s okay if bullet journals don’t work out for you. i prefer some aspects of a planner and some aspects of a bullet journal so i combined the two. if you have any more questions about my set-up, just send me a message!

hope this helped and good luck! if you’d like to request a post, go here and if you’d like to see more helpful posts, go here!! thanks :)
