Sometimes if feels like there's a thousand things going on in life, and revising is just one of them. It's also something that often ends up at the bottom of the pile of 'things to do'. Keep track of your studies and get it done with Post-it® Brand. Write things down, stick them up, and succeed.
If you need to memorise a lot of information, flash cards are the way to go. To make a flash card, write or draw the thing you want to quiz yourself about on a Post-it® Super Sticky Note 76mm x 76mm. Then, write the answer on another note. So, for example, if you’re working on your Spanish vocabulary, draw a picture of a fish on one note and write “el pescado” on another. Stick the fish picture on top of the translation on a surface (like your desk) then lift up to double-check that you know the answer. And, because they’re super sticky, you can move your notes around and take them with you for studying on the go.
If you’re always on the go, put reminders in places you might not otherwise think of, to help you keep key concepts at the ready. Simply write a note to yourself or draw a diagram on a Post-it® Super Sticky Note 76mm x 76mm, then put it somewhere you wouldn't normally expect it. Try places outside of where you usually work, like the fridge door, or the bathroom mirror. Choose bright colours that'll grab your attention. Because they’re super sticky, you can move these Post-It® Notes to whole new places to jog your memory over and over again.
When it comes to your textbooks and notebooks, it’s important to be able to find the page you need as quickly as possible. By creating sections, marking key ideas, and making notes, you can stay on top of everything you need to know. To keep yourself organised, mark important sections in your notebook with Post-it® Tabs, so you can turn to the right section straight away. When it comes to textbooks, use Post-it® Page Markers to make notes you can find easily, without writing on the pages. The colours stand out, and you won’t have to go through and erase what you’ve written at the end of the year. For any revision materials, whether it’s notebooks, textbooks, or handouts, mark key ideas, vocabulary words, or diagrams with Post-it® Index, which help you find any piece of information in a flash.
You can’t revise all the time. Schedule some breaks for when you get really stuck. Make yourself an 'I’m stuck' pad with Post-it® Super Sticky Notes 76mm x 76mm. Just grab a pad and jot down everything you can think of that will give you a little study break — one idea on each note. Then, when you get stuck, pull off the top note and do whatever you jotted down. Post-it® Super Sticky Notes will keep all your ideas ready and waiting for the moment you need them most, and you can stick and re-stick them wherever you need them.
Life can get pretty intense when you’ve got revision to do, plus extra-curriculars, and well…life, to take care of. But when it comes to studying, getting it done isn’t just important for the future, it’s also energising. Because when you know your stuff, there’s no stopping you.
