I have been at university for almost two years now and have found several ways to organise my university notes and workload so figured this was a great place to share them!
-
Notion: a free productivity and note-taking web app. It can be used for tasks such as note-taking, project management, task tracking, knowledge management, and more. I personally love Notion as it allows users to customise their workspace and allows for easier organisation. I originally tried to use Word to take my university notes and store them however, over time it became very hard to organise them and differentiate between them without the folders that Notion has.
-
Countdown timer plus: an app that displays your countdowns on your computer/laptop desktop. I found this in my second year and find this very useful as keeping track of all of my assignments in first year was difficult and I would only remember they existed a few days before their due date, which was very stressful. This app counts the days down for you and you can change their colours! They are also completely customisable.
-
Arc: a free web browser that allows for easier organisation and is completely customisable. I use it alongside Safari and Google but it is a great browser for organising tabs you frequently use and it is very similar to Notion in the sense of how it has ‘spaces’, where you can keep your personal and university/work information separate.
-
Quizlet: an online learning platform great for studying and revision! This is a well-known app but not many of my friends or people I know use it. It has features such as flashcards, quizzes, games, and study modes, which are great for studying and especially exams. I recently had a multiple choice exam coming up and Quizlet was perfect for it,
These are just a few but if anyone has any other helpful apps or websites please comment below!
