I love using the blurting method and the ‘teaching the content to others.’ It’s been the most effective way of revision especially as a procrastinator myself. It’s important to first summarise your notes into a anecdote - a story so you remember them as if it were an event. For diagrams, I like to compare words to words that are familiar to me. For example ‘coronal’ the C also is present in the word ‘crown’ and the definition of coronal is the crown in your brain. Writing the most important parts of content onto one main piece of paper via blurting and revising over them is a useful revision tool too. As well as this, dealing with stress & anxiety is important too. For example, I used to set myself timings during the day such as 12pm-2pm I will focus on this and then 2pm-4pm I will do something else. It would overwhelm me. Rather I would help my student set 2-3 goals for the week so there is consistent progress made. Teaching the content to others helps retain and retrieve the information in your brain so repetitive revision is something we’d focus on too. Finally, I am open to how my students want to revise.
