I'm so exited for the New upcoming Year and I have lots of plans and goals!
Today, I want to talk to you about highlighting. There are people who like using different colours of pens, but I personally prefer highlighting, and I'll justify my choice as you proceed!
First of all, I want to show you the way I do it, to inspire you (if I can) to try the same method. I'm aware that a lot of people only use 2-3 highlighters, whereas I use all 6 colours while studying.
Firstly, I think you should have a little legend bar (stick it onto the course overview or smth), which tells you which colour goes for which thing. Keep in mind that it will differ slightly for every subject, due to the types of information given. I'll show you how I do it for Physics:
1. Easy to Organize
If you decide to create flashcards, a study guide, or any other study tool you like, the highlighted information would be easier to organise.
2. Easy to Revise
Highlighting takes a bit of time, especially if you have 6 colours. When you've taken down all your notes, you will go home, and highlight them later, processing the material for the 2nd time. The difference between using multi-coloured pens and highlighters, is that pens won't let you wait until you go home to write it all out, whereas the highlighters will, and the info will settle better in your memory.
3. Pleasure
I feel much happier studying a subject with colour. Physics and Math, for instance, are the subjects which require practice (what often means repetition) and if you are using highlighters to help you study your formulae, errors or general concepts, it will just add a little moment of happiness when you're opening your notebook.
Good luck!
