How To Study Anything At 10x Speed
This is not a bs guide, these are some tips that have actually worked for me and they can work for you too. The thing is, it's fairly really easy. I have sometimes managed to prepare for a test before 15 mins by just reading through it. It's fascinating if you break it down.
Mindset Change
A mind set change is everything. If you think it is easy. The topic will be more bearable. If you think it's tough, it's going to be more tough. So, first thing is first. Be open. You are not dumb, you can easily understand everything if you just remove the concept of "It is too hard or boring"
I once heard that the subject isn't boring, you are bored. So, change your thought process. Start with, "I can handle this"
Break It Down
Not your chapter. I mean the topic itself. Line by line if you have to. I did this exact thing for accounts whenever i had to do ratios. It was a pain. An unwanted pain. I couldn't understand anything. But i sat down one day and read every single line of the textbook for that topic. I made what i call "Line Visuals". This is simple.
You read a paragraph => You don't understand anything.
Read every line => Draw it
Understand the key terms used there
And then draw a single visual representation for that entire topic.
I'll guarantee you, you will understand it. Review it once a day for a week and then once a week.
Story Method
People remember stories more than normal facts or random pieces of data. Stories allow you to link different facts together and make it easier for you to process.
The easiest way to do this is using "FTF" (First, Then, Finally).
First, the main character (you or anyone else you imagine) will start on a journey. That's scene one. You will need to associate some points to this scene. This will mostly include the overall concept. Basic understanding.
Then, the main character will face a problem. This will include all the major questions revolving around the topic.
Finally, the main character will find the answers. Let's break it down more.
What i love about this is that it can be used for sudden test/ pop quizzes because all you need to do is just remember the story.
If you want to read more about it, check out: How To Study Using The "Story Method"
Use Mnemonics
Learn with this. It helps you to remember easily. Make catchy phrases to remember points/facts. These are like the building blocks of studying anything. Stick small notes to your books writing the phrases beside the topic so the next time you want to revise it, it's easy.
Connect Similar Topic
Connect all your related subjects. Everything in school is somehow connected. I usually used to connect economics and business studies concepts. Sometimes even computers so... Connect them.
Active Recall
Active recall is like the number one tip i'd recommend. It's easy and most of you probably do it already. You just have to keep revising and testing yourself at the materials periodically. It's easy and effective.
Teach What You Learn
You learn the most when you teach. I had taken my friends for this. Study and teach it to them. This helps because you have to have a clear understanding of the material first rather to teach them and you may end up with some important feedback. Your friends might ask a specific question you didn't know the answer to and now all of you are trying to perfect yourself with the material.

So i kinda missed a day yesterday, I was busy with my project and i got a cold... i literally didn't study anything, i have no idea what I'll write in tomorrow's 3 tests. Praying they'll get cancelled T-T
Anyways, today I:
Finished off the computer project
Completed 20% of the English assignment
Practiced for tomorrow's English seminar
Okay, i hope I'll do good tomorrow but I have faith. So yeah.
24th June.
Hello peeps. Just wanted to remind y'all that things are going to get better if they aren't already. You have to wait for changes in your life. And it's okay. Nobody cares enough to judge you on what's going on in your life. It's okay... It will be better. You can't lose hope.
PS. 2nd round CCMT is out. Got NIT Patna Microelectronics and VLSI design.
I got this question a lot and I'm absolutely tired of hearing it...
"What are you doing in college?", "What are your plans after senior year?"
Like, I don't even know what I'm gonna do over the break or the next whole year, so, i thought maybe it's like this for everyone. People are expected to decide everything like it won't actually impact their life. Most of my class is damn sure about what they wanna do while me? I just wanna pass senior year with good grades and think about it slowly and with a clearer head.
For me, the main thing that matters is that i shouldn't regret taking something i don't like and I don't wanna rush the whole decision up. And i just got like such judgy eyes... ugh... Like, I don't know what i want... Why is that not okay nowadays? Why is taking time to figure it out not alright?
So, to everyone who's in a situation like me...
You don't have to have everything figured out, if you don't know what you're gonna do, that's completely fine. Take your time, it's not a race.
Honestly, it can be quite confusing and you may feel like you might be kinda lax about it but honestly, it's definitely okay :)
You're not obliged to rush your decisions just because another person has already made theirs.
Just wanted to say that... okay, bye.
Introduction To HTML
[Note: You need a text editor to do this. You can use Notepad or Text Edit. But it's so much better to download VS Code / Visual Studio Code. Save it with an extension of .html]
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
It is used to create webpages/websites.
It has a bunch of tags within angular brackets <....>
There are opening and closing tags for every element.
Opening tags look like this <......>
Closing tags look like this
The HTML code is within HTML tags. ( // code)
Here's the basic HTML code:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> My First Webpage </title> </head> <body> <h1> Hello World </h1> <p> Sometimes even I have no idea <br> what in the world I am doing </p> </body> </html>
Line By Line Explanation :
<!DOCTYPE html> : Tells the browser it's an HTML document.
<html> </html> : All code resides inside these brackets.
<head> </head> : The tags within these don't appear on the webpage. It provides the information about the webpage.
<title> </title> : The title of webpage (It's not seen on the webpage. It will be seen on the address bar)
<body> </body> : Everything that appears on the webpage lies within these tags.
<h1> </h1> : It's basically a heading tag. It's the biggest heading.
Heading Tags are from <h1> to <h6>. H1 are the biggest. H6 are the smallest.
<p> </p> : This is the paragraph tag and everything that you want to write goes between this.
<br> : This is used for line breaks. There is no closing tag for this.
-------
Now, we'll cover some <Meta> tags.
Meta tags = Notes to the browser and search engines.
They don’t appear on the page.
They reside within the head tag
<head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <meta name="description" content="Website Description"> <meta name="Author" content="Your Name"> <meta name="keywords" content="Websites Keywords"> </head>
Line By Line Explanation:
<meta charset="UTF-8"> : Makes sure all letters, symbols, and emojis show correctly.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> : Makes your site look good on phones and tablets.
<meta name="description" content="Website Description"> : Describes your page to Google and helps people find it.
<meta name="author" content="Your Name"> : Says who created the page.
<meta name="keywords" content="Website's Keywords"> : Adds a few words to help search engines understand your topic.

This is my first post in this topic. I'll be focusing on the practical side more than the actual theory, really. You will just have some short bullet points for most of these posts. The first 10 posts would be fully HTML. I'll continue with CSS later. And by 20th post, we'll build the first website. So, I hope it will be helpful :)
If I keep a coding post spree for like 2 weeks, would anyone be interested? o-o
Day 5 [Lists In HTML]
This is a super simple guide for lists.
Line By Line Explanation:
: Used for unordered list
: Used for each item in the list
: Used for ordered list.
Unordered lists will display the list items in bulleted or any other symbol that you specify
Ordered lists will display the list items in numerical order or any other order you specify.

Hope it helps :)
You need to do it yourself because no one else is going to do it for you.
It's awfully lazy of me to not do a daily update for 5 days straight but honestly I got sick from Thursday and not to mention it was damn hard to complete assignments when you have a fever and cold. It's like something is against me being productive everyday T-T
I thought maybe i could productively use the 4 days after the school event to study something but no, of course I had to get a fever :")
In the past 5 days I:
Assignments completed:
Computers
Business studies
Accountancy
Assignments Pending:
Economics
Studied 2 topics in economics today
and that's the only thing I could do in these days... But it's fine, I'll catch up eventually. Everything will be fine or so I keep telling myself that. T-T
Well hey there, it's been a productive despite me not going to school and honestly I'm really proud of myself for actually doing something useful for once xD
Completed (yesterday and today)
Economics assignment
English assignment (20%)
Accountancy (3-4hr)
Business studies (1hr 30mins)
Computer Ppt done
I havn't been touching Arabic so I kinda have to start. Plus i got like an English test tomorrow :")
That's it for today <3
I swear periods and exams have this deal going on where they both appear in the same week and be like "hey, wanna suffer baby doll? ;)"
