Here are our top five tips to get support in retaining course information:
🙌🏼 Organise Your Notes.
Start by sorting all your notes into subject categories.
Keep your subject syllabus on hand and check off each topic so you can mark them off and see if there is anything you may have missed.
Once you have your notes for each subject files in order, you may even like to create some Quizlets or Flash Cards to test your knowledge.
Keep your files organised into colours for each subject, so they are easy to find when you need them for revision.
🙌🏼 Create a Calm Work Environment.
Yes… that means it’s time to clean up your desk.Do this first, a clean work space means a clear and uncluttered mind.
Think about adding a plant to the room, they work as incredible air filters, along with good ventilation to keep you awake and focussed.
🙌🏼 Stay Healthy
What we consume plays a major role in the health of our brain and how we process information.
The obvious one is hydration, so always have a large bottle of water on hand to sip throughout the day.
Make sure you are getting an adequate amount of colourful fruits and vegetables in every meal, and avoid processed foods or too much sugar.
🙌🏼Chill Out
If you’re not already in the habit of daily meditation or mindfulness, start today with just 10 minutes of deep breathing.
Breath work is a powerful practice and somewhat less daunting than meditation. There are plenty of Apps that will help you drop into a state of calmness, and you only need 10 minutes to achieve this.

So get busy organising and preparing and you’ll be sailing through your chosen course.
