When I write out my revision notes, I use a lot of lists and abbreviations there too. Everything is handwritten as I believe it helps me absorb the information easier and quicker; and lists mean that everything is condensed so that I don't have to read long paragraphs of prose about a topic. My attention span is pretty short so it enables me to make the most of this short period where I actually have my mind set on the task at hand (i.e. revision).
Another way I jazz up my list writing is to write them on a sticky note - this brightens things up for sure and also helps with recall of vast amounts of information.

Sorry for another brief post - exams are coming up so I'm definitely feeling an impending sense of doom.
Your handwriting is so pretty! I'm obsessed with hand written lists too. I love notetaking apps on my phone, but there is something about pulling out my Filofax for my shopping list. Seems more 'real' somehow ^ ^
ReplyDeleteThank you! :) I agree, there's nothing like a physical handwritten list x
DeleteI love seeing all your pages. Your handwriting is so lovely and your organisation is envied! :) xx

How do you draw such straight lines? My lines always start out nice and straight, but by the time I'm done, my lines look more like squiggles :)
ReplyDeleteHi Carina, my lines really aren't that straight hehe :) I guess it's just practice and they get a little straighter but they could definitely be better! x
