study hack: instead of not doing the lecture pre-readings, find a crash course video to prevent yourself getting lost during the lectures

bear: the ultimate note taking app

Bear is THE best note taking app I’ve ever used. I’ve used One Note, Evernote, Google Documents, Word and anything and everything else in between but as someone who gets distracted easily, none of them come close to being as good as Bear. It’s just so easy to use.

Personally, I find it difficult to not get distracted by formatting when I take notes on my computer. Things like choosing the prettiest font, the size of heading 1, 2 and 3, formatting diagram/pictures to make it fit well, creating different notebooks/pages, colour coding my notes, highlighting the important bits... the list is endless. But with Bear, everything is so straight forward. 

This is a template of how I use Bear during my lectures...

Look at how pretty it is???

It looks so neat??? And organised???

And what I really love about Bear is that you don’t need to do all the time consuming clicking to get bullet points, or change the font size or anything else... all you have to do is remember simple shortcuts... for example

Bear is hands down my favourite note taking app.

I don’t get distracted, my notes look amazing and are organised

I highly recommend Bear. It’s pretty, effortless and simple.

ngl low key losing my sanity

I hate being low key stressed because you know you're stressed but you're not stressed enough to take a break and treat yourself and even when you do you're still low key stressed so it doesn't really make a difference and you're low key stressed when you sleep as well and the tension never leaves and now I have a sore back and a sore throat and sore shoulders and my eyesight is blurry

day 2 of trying to master pretty cursive

people ask me how I survive with one black ballpoint pen, one black ink pen and one red pen in my pencil case but I get distracted so easily if I had a packet of highlighters in there I would colour code everything and anything for the sake of nothing lmao
