Writing on sticky notes is an effective way to break complicated information into simple blocks. Sticky notes are also helpful for adding bits of quotes or mnemonics.

I am not a fan of writing in static notebooks. I mean, I want my notes to be flexible as possible. Learning is dynamic, so should my notes be. Luckily, clips are lifesavers. Paperclips help me rearrange my lessons in not-so-hassle ways. I can add another shits of examples or add a corrected version of previous exams to any of my compiled lessons.

Whenever I am in cramming mode, I often forget to set a timer for myself. So, I ended up exhausting myself more than necessary. Setting a timer allows my brain to rest and process all the information you tried so hard to cram. Moreover, studying for too long can cause back pains and other physical problems. It would not be nice sitting in an exam with a backache.
