This quote isn’t classified as a motivational quote and it may not make sense to others why I’d choose this one. When I read this quote it always gets me thinking to how complex and intriguing the mind really is and how we all go about our daily lives not fascinated by this. Once I start thinking about all of this I start to just imagine all that we are capable of and all that we don’t take advantage of. For some time this quote will leave me wanting to achieve more than I have planned to or wanted to. It has me thinking that I have so much more I can strive …show more content…
Another strategy that is beneficial is ‘pace and recite’, this helps me memorize information by saying it a lot. The next strategy ‘use color in notes’ is another way of organizing that helps me be successful in having what I need to study and being able to remember certain information by associating it to the color it was written in.

I usually try to avoid writing in cursive because it takes me longer to actually want to focus and read. Notes that are to the point and spaced out well are the types of notes I prefer and feel are effective for me. Some other aids are categorizing notes by sections or chapters.
7. When I read for myself I don’t usually take down any notes or things like that. Given a book assigned to me changes everything. Then when I read I take small notes on each book page so that when I look back or need to remember a detail I can see my comments. If I feel the need to I will write a small summary on it if there is enough space or just put it on a post it note. I forget a lot as I read so it helps keep
