I am currently reviewing my lecture notes on the molecular composition of plant cells for my botany class!
In the time that I have spent away from this studyblr, I have created a system that works best for my busy days and my terrible anxiety.
As you can see I have an urgency matrix on the left side and on the right I have a list of things I have to get done everyday. Doing this allows me to manage my time by prioritizing tasks and events.
Journal: Exceed Dotted Pocket Journal
Pens: Staedler fineliner (red), uni jetstream 3, Pentel Energel in 0.5

Midterms Survival Tips
Hey everyone! Midterms can be a stressful time for everyone, but here are some of the tips that i have found work best for me when studying. I thought I’d share them :) Wishing you all luck on your midterms!
1. Study Packets
For each class, I try and make sure that I have a packet compiled of all the important content that will be on the midterm. I take notes based on my notes throughout the semester, which helps to 1) remember everything we’ve done and 2) have a less intimidating version of my notes with just important information. Here is an example I made for AP Government.
2. Study Spaces
For each class, i find a specific part of my room to study that subject. This way, my mind can be completely focused on the one topic as opposed to overwhelmed by all of them. I gather all of the materials for that class, and I set them in my room. I then allot about 30 minutes per subject, and rotate around my room.
3. Apps!
Technology can be a distraction, but it can also be a really helpful tool! This is my midterm survival folder with a bunch of useful apps.
a. Google Drive
This is a good app for making study packet documents, sharing documents with classmates, and finding old assignments throughout the year.
b. Meditation
you’re probably really stressed, so every so often, unwind with a little meditation :) remember mental health >>> grades *free alternative: headspace.
c. Forest
This app can make sure you don’t get distracted on your phone and that you stay concentrated for periods of time.
d. Spotify
Listening to music can help you study if you listen to the right music. I personally like listening to soft/classical music when I’m studying so I can still concentrate
e. Quizlet
Online flash cards!! I use this app all the time when midterm studying and it helps a lot. There’s also a new-ish feature called learn, that combines a lot of different parts of the app so you can study effectively and learn the content quickly.
f. Google Calendar
Time management is key, so planning out study sessions is essential in my opinion. Google calendar has really nice formatting, making it easy to make nice plans.
4. Self Care
The most important step is making sure that you are still taking care of yourself. Get sleep, stay hydrated, wash your face, and be positive :). You can do it!
Good luck everyone! I believe in you, and make sure to be proud of yourself for trying your best.
