“Even if you do nothing else do this: SUMMARIZE.

Don’t get me wrong:

YOU SHOULD TAKE NOTES DURING LECTURES OR READING.

But if for some reason you don’t, do yourself a huge favor and find it in your heart to summarize what you can remember from the learning experience.

I know. You might have a few minutes left at the end of class and want to catch up with your peeps. But you must resist.

SIT BACK DOWN AND WRITE DOWN THE KEY POINTS YOU LEARNED. ”
