So this post will be divided into two sections: How to use a journal to study and easy study tools. Part 1: How to use a journal to studyYou can a journal from places like Kikki K, Typo and Officeworks, but you can get cheaper ones from Kmart or Target. Mine is from Kikki K and it was $33. You can also use the diary you get from school, but I like this one better. -Plan ahead If you are going to be busy the week before the test, make sure you try plan when you are going to study for the test. If you don't plan a few weeks before, then you might get busy and not study. You can put it in your diary highlighted so you remember. -Have a weekly schedule This is sortove like the last tip, but plan when you're gonna study for the whole week. For instance I have dance on Monday, Thursday and Friday nights. So I need to find time between the activities, so I can study for tests. -Make to do lists This is good to do as soon as you get home from school, so you can set goals and hopefully complete them. Part 2: Easy Study ToolsThe first three of these are apps and the other two are just tips. 1. Momentum This app is really good because it can help you achieve your goals and make habits. You could add studying maths every Tuesday for a month. This could help you prepare for upcoming tests. The only downside is that you can only put 5 goals into the app. 2. Flashcard Hero I have mentioned this app before, but it's very good, so i thought I would talk about it again. On this app you can create flashcards, without cutting up heaps of paper and spending ages making them. It is available across all apple devices (including mac computers), but I'm not sure about android. 3. Self Control This app is only available on Mac computers. This app lets you block any websites that might distract you from studying. You can set it for a certain time, and even if you delete the app, they will still be blocked for the certain amount of time. if you search up Self Control app, it should come up. More tips!
-Give yourself breaks Every now and then you need to give yourself a break. This could be anything from checking instagram, watching an episode of your favourite show, or just getting a snack. You could study for an hour and then have a 10-20 minute break. But make sure you don't give yourself too many breaks. -Use a folder to carry all you assignment sheets This is very easy and effective. Whenever you're given a new task, put it in the folder so you can keep track of where it is. When you hand in the task, you can take out the sheet.

1. Use a Magazine Holder to organise your school books. All you need to do is put a magazine holder on your desk and then you can put all your school books inside. You can also put your timetable on the side so you know which books you need to take. 2. Reward Jar This jar will help you reward yourself when you do well in a test or assignment. Put your goal grades on with post it notes, and write how much you will reward yourself if you achieve that grade. This will encourage you to study more, as you get a reward after. Put some money in and start making goals! 3. Photo Frame Assignment/Test list All you need is a photo frame and a white board marker. Write all your assignments and tests on there to help remind yourself to study. This is good so you won't forget about your tests and assignments. 4. Flashcard App This is very handy and easy. All you need is to get the app Chegg Flashcards plus. You can then access your flashcards whenever you want! This is good because you can study at any time. This also helps the environment, as you're not using any paper. 5. Have a study playlist A study playlist is essential to making sure you concentrate when you study. The best place to find one is on Spotify. I use the playlist Deep Focus Piano Study Playlist. It relaxes you so you can study without distractions. Hey guys, I have decided I am going to be posting once a week. Every Sunday I will be posting something.
