I've struggled with this but I'm adapting, you know? So here are some of my tips I use for this :)
If you can't understand it at once, do not think that it is hard
Many times, the topic itself if simple but the way the textbook has described it is complex so go and search for related videos and Google about it until you've got a hint about what it is.
If it's complicated, divide the sentence.
When you find yourself getting completely lost in a topic while banging your head against the wall because it's so confusing.... separate each part of the sentence while you write each part as you say it out loud. It'll help you to atleast get a short idea about the subject.
Read! Read! Read!
Read it over and over again and underline the words you think are important, write them down, explain it to yourself, draw small diagrams around your notes, connect them through visual representation. The more you use different types of senses, the better you understand it.
Give yourself time.
Let yourself grasp what the whole topic is about, do not under any circumstances have a time limit for difficult topics. I took days just to understand how Javascript loops work and I'm still not fully clear about it but i can explain the general, very basic purpose of it.
Explain it to someone or yourself
The best way to learn is to teach, this actually does work. It helps you to put your understanding in words and clear any underlying questions. And lastly...
Handwritten notes!
I cannot stress this enough but things that you've written down generally stay in your memory for longer durations. I also prefer handwritten notes to digital ones cause personally it works better.
Hope this helps! :D

Hello! :)
Thanks for this, made my day :) Sorry for the late reply though. Right back to you <3
All studyblrs out there, I just wanted to say:
CROSS IT OUT AND TRY AGAIN. THAT'S LEARNING.
Your notes CAN be beautiful, perfect, without mistakes. In fact you should be proud of them. But at the same time, crossings out do not make notes any less valuable.
"But ohh they make it look ugly" "ohh but crossing out means I got it wrong"
NO!
The crossed out section is a testament to your learning and I think you should take pride in that as well. Nobody is perfect.
I want to see your imperfect notes with little scribbles and jottings.
Capture the essence of the feverish scholar frantically noting down their ideas as they rush towards a new horizon- their breakthrough. Their ultimate discovery. The thing they've been working on for their entire life.
Capture that essence of "I must, because it has to be done."
But again, at the same time, make them pretty! Put effort into their making! It's no different to a piece of art.
Your notes can be however you want them to be. They are for you and nobody else. If you take pride in them, their purpose is fulfilled.
Thank you for listening to my TED talk.
So... I'm kinda new here, so hi. What can you find on my blog? Study tips, rants about books, anything quotes and literature and self care tips.
So... Welcome :))
I can't say that I'll be frequent on this, I've created this blog just as a motivation for me to study and get more productive.
A little bit about myself... My name is Isabelle, I'm currently ending my Junior year in highschool. I was homeschooled for two years after the pandemic and this is just like some of the things that I've followed through my middle school and high school journey.
Again, I won't promise to be consistent but I'll try my best! :D
Okay, time's flying really fast. My term exam results come on Monday or Tuesday and my accountancy teacher told me that I did really bad and that she was disappointed in me and that i should concentrate more on it.
So, I'm wondering how the heck did I do bad in a subject that I was studying almost everyday?! And then this other girl studied 3 days before the exam and got like 95+
Honestly, the paper was alright but i panicked and did some shitty things :// gonna avoid that in the future.
Today I:
Revised some Economics
Did accounts (1 and a half hours)
And yes, I'm gonna be putting extra effort from now on because it's really close to my next term exams and then it's gonna be followed by Revision exams and I have a school function on top of that.... i just wanna sit and cry honestly T-T
Projects to complete:
Economics (by Monday)
Computers (By Oct end)
Here's a reminder to fight the internalized sanism/ableism in your head.
If you have executive dysfunction, don't compare your productivity to people who don't.
If you have anhedonia, don't compare your struggling to keep up with hobbies to someone who doesn't.
If you have paranoia, don't think of your fears as any less valid than the fears of someone who doesn't.
If your meds make you tired constantly, don't compare your energy levels to someone who doesn't take those meds.
If you have issues with concentration, then you won't be able to pay attention as well as someone who doesn't.
If you're in the deep end of a pool, then you can't compare how well you keep your head above water to someone who is standing in a kiddie pool.
Please try to think of these things when you feel "lazy" or "childish" or "a failure" compared to other people that don't struggle with the same symptoms as you. If you have a mental illness that will affect how you act in everyday situations, then it will in fact affect you in everyday situations. It's not an excuse, it's just a reality. We need to try to be kinder to ourselves.
