We all have busy lives - some days busier than the others, but we still never use our time to its full potential. A few days ago, it felt like I was studying for the whole day, but realistically - not more than 6 hours. The reason is that I spent a minimum of 2 hours in the car being driven to different places, and I also spend a good hour waiting for my blood work. I could have used those 2-3 hours to study, but because all my notes and books are so heavy it would be inconvenient. What should I do?
To learn how to study on the go (subway, waiting room, Starbucks line, etc.) with minimal resources, please keep reading!
You probably knew I'm going to say flashcards, and I will! I'm not talking about the ordinary flashcards though, I'm talking about the electronic ones.
When I was busy reviewing Psychology that day, I decided to make flashcards (149 in total!!!) on all the key terms in the material. I made sure to include the key terms from my notes, online modules, and textbook.
The app I used for it is Quizlet (and no, it is not sponsored), and all I had to do is to create the term and its definition. Then, the only thing you'd bring around with yourself is either a laptop, a tablet, or a phone! The 2 things I like about this app is that it allows for the addition of pictures (but there's a cost associated with it) but it wouldn't help in Social Psychology, and the second thing is the testing feature. You can practice matching the flashcards and reviewing it from both sides (which is way more efficient than reviewing just from one side).
In a few days, I will create some flashcards for Biology and I will probably add the pictures! It's worth it! I really suggest you check it out for your use. You'll love it!
