How To Learn New Content And Never Forget It

how to learn new content and never forget it

save this for your next academic year and finals, and it’ll save your grades and time.

1. whenever you read a paragraph with new content, close the book/look away and ask yourself: “what have i just learned?” explaining the concept to yourself right away and asking follow-up questions will change the way you retain new material forever.

2. at first, it’ll be daunting, and it’ll be pretty hard to actually bring yourself to do this. trust me, it’ll be worth it - as this is scientifically proven one of the most effective study techniques.

3. to try this out, set yourself a timer for how long you estimate learning a concept might take. now take away 20% from that estimate. you won’t be able to reach this goal with basic highlighting and re-reading techniques - but with active recall, you will.

4. once you’ve understood the concept, use spaced repetition systems like anki flashcards to force yourself to retrieve this information in a set period of time. this way, your brain will always be reminded of this concept before it could possibly forget it.

5. teach it to others as much as you can. as with the old wisdom “see one, do one, teach one”, one of the only guarantees you’ve really gotten something is when you can effectively teach it.

hope these are helpful for you!!

june jingle

exam season ended and i have officially finished secondary woah, however i'm going back for my schools sixth form so while it won't be the exact same i'll still be in the same place. i don't know why but it doesn't feel like everything is over, i still feel like i should be revising or something and i can't shake the feeling. it's super weird. i need to buy clothes for sixth form and ncs, kinda stumped i wont be going to prom but that shits rigged anyways so whatever, i'll probably go somewhere with my bestfriend which will be super cool. i should really get to cleaning my room since guests are coming tommorow so i'm gonna go do that that's all for now! - amimi

thoughts while watching euphoria (pt 2)

23:22 - 22 Jan 2022

SPOILERS

- kats a shitty friend, like come on girl, you can literally hear maddy crying and you blow her off so you can give snakebite guy (who you’ve met like once before) head?

-fuck

nate

jacobs

(further explanation isn’t necessary)

- also another thing i noticed is in nates little monologue about traits he likes in women, he strays away from anything masculine - forcing himself away from anything that could pertain to his sexuality

- the parallels between nate and his dad are disturbing as fuckk

, the scene where he met jules as tyler gave me chills, like when he stuck his finger in her mouth??LITERALLY the same words and tone. meeting maddy at the motel too.chills.

- zendaya is amazing, like so so amazing

- to clarify about the unrealistic portrayal of teenagers, i am not referring to the drug culture, i mean the way they talk, dress in school, kat is a fucking camgirl and in highschool. yes, drug culture is prevalent among teenagers almost everywhere and euphoria puts it centre stage, if i had one thing to comment about it though, fez is a bit too caring to be rue’s dealer, letting her into his house, paying for the fentanyl..so on so on. -  want to see more of lexi, her position as cassies sister and rues childhood friend makes her very interesting. we’ve just started ep 5 bitchhhh, its almost midnight though, so post tmrw. ~Amimi

moving forward

00:05am - written immediately after previous post. my tumblrs been neglected due to my focus on other social media and shitty life stuff in general. planning to focus my spare time and attention solely on here and on this blog, i’ll probably move away from dark academia and shift towards my more recent interests and studyblr things but i’m unsure as to what exactly yet.  having champage problems and in dire need of sleep ~ Amimi
