Q & A a day 5 year journal and 712 more things to write about book review

Book review:

Since the new year started I have been wanting to try some journal style books, and I have been trying out some pretty popular ones. So far I really like them because they help my get my creativity going as well as make me think a lot.

To begin with I wanted to talk about Q and A a day a 5 year journal. At first I thought the book would only ask easy questions like what is your favorite color but I have found that it asks some pretty thought provoking questions. Just on the first page I had to sit back and think for a while to get my answer. The next thing I want to talk about is the packaging. It is small so it first perfectly in a purse. The great thing about it is that it is a lot easier to keep than a journal as you only have to answer one quick question every day. The purpose of the book is to see how much you change over 5 years , which is probably a lot.

Next I want to talk about 712 more things to write about. This book is kind of a sequel to the wildly popular first book called 642 things to write about. Essentially this book gives you writing prompts to get your creative juices flowing. The great thing about it is that most of the prompts ask things that you would have never thought of. I do have to say that the book sometimes has kind of weird questions that you don't even know how to answer. Overall I think this book is great if you like to write and for when you have writers block.

Websites and manual things you can use to study :

Quizlet
In this website you can make digital flash cards as well as test yourself as the websites makes a test for you. This is very good for vocabulary or any other things where you have to memorize a definition. Overall this is a good website to save some time on writing flashcards, save trees and test yourself.

Kahoot:
In this website once you create an account you can make a test and then that test becomes a quiz that you can play alone or With friends. The way it works is you use a big screen to show the question and the multiple choice and you use a smaller screen to choose your answer. You can play alone or show you friends the game code and they can play with you as long as they can see the big screen you are using.

Youtube:
This is quite an obvious one but Youtube is a good place to study as you can find a class/tutorial on pretty much anything there.

Regular flashcards:
If digital flashcards are not your thing try regular flashcards, there are colorful and non colorful ones. You can color code them with highlighters according to the difficulty of something or for different topics.

Post it Notes:
Use post it notes to write down your questions. Sometimes a teacher does not have the time to answer your question but if you write it down you will not forget it so you will be able to ask later. You can also make notes of things you don't understand so that when you go back to your notes to study you know what to focus in.

New Year organization tips

Hello and happy 2016 in this post I wanted to give some ideas on how to keep yourself organized for the new year because I think that for a lot of us this is a resolution.

1. Keeping a planner , now I know that this is something a lot of people do but I wanted to talk about it because there is ways to organize your planner too for example color coding your usual activitieswith highlighter for example using blue for workouts.You can also use a certain color to indicate your mood for the day so you can keep track of how you felt that day or how you felt doing a certain activity.

2. Make sit desk organizers like magazine holders or use mason jars to store things like Poleroid photos or pencils.

3. Make a binder dedicated to you for example if you like to draw make a divider designated to that. Use this binder to store things from your favorite hobbies.

4. Keep a journal. Also sometimes we think a certain day is boring it is good to write it down because maybe you can find something interesting in it that you had not noticed previously.

5. Use a book that asks you questions every day and over the years you can see how you change . An example of this type of book is 1 q and a a day for 5 years, this book ask you something over five years to see how your answers differ.

6. In a journal or mason jar write about things you learned that day for example an important life lesson.

7. Organize your closet .Color code or organize your closet according to what you wear the least , what you want to wear more and what you always wear or organize it in any order way you like.

8. Using a picture frame and a printed out to do list make a to do list white board. First find a to do list that fits your life or make one yourself then get a picture frame and put the printed out paper inside it , then write on it with a whiteboard marker and there you have an erasable to do list.
