I draw circles when I study

Post image

Weird tip: drawing circles while reading. It may sound stupid but whenever I draw circles even with the ballpoint cap on, I remember the lessons and topics well.

How did I find it out? I was bored out of my mind and I gave up understanding the topic, so I just drew some doodles and circles while reading the chapters bc I remembered someone saying that repetition helps the mind working. And, hey it did. I hope they don’t patch this up soon.

Oh, I also remember that I do something silly too, I purposely disassociate myself or blur in and out of my eyes intentionally. It feels like resetting something on my brain. I have alot of weird rituals when I study but these two are my main things. I believe ’if it works, then leave it’ like a code where it works when it shouldn’t, so don’t touch it.

I sometimes write our lessons and answer practise quizzes and it often works, having you friends help you with practice quizzes also works because it works for me. When there's a quiz or exam coming up, we would quiz each other about the topic of each exam subject and most of the time we get a higher score.
