Student Hacks #2

Hellooo, mga Barkababes! Back at it again with another Student hacks to make your student life easier. And this time, we’re talking about a tool na dili lang pang-classroom, pang-all-around pa—Notion! Sa mga wala pa kaila, Notion is like your all-in-one study buddy, planner, and to-do list all rolled into one. Here’s how it can help you get organized, stay on top of your tasks, and become the student boss you’re meant to be! 💪📚

1. Organize Your Life (Like, Literal Student hacks!)

Let’s be real, studying while balancing life can feel like juggling. Pero dili na kinahanglan ma-stress! Notion lets you create pages for everything—class notes, project plans, and even your personal to-do list. You can keep track of different aspects of your life, all in one app!

  • Example: Create a page for each subject with lecture notes, assignments, and even handouts. Just type and arrange however you want. Plus, pwede ka mag-add og links, images, and videos. Organize lang gyud para di ka maglibog.

2. Group Projects? No Problem!

Dili malikayan ang group projects, pero with Notion, you can say goodbye to the messy FB Messenger files and scattered docs! You can invite your groupmates to collaborate on one page, and everyone can add their contributions there. Real-time edits, guys! No more missing files and "wala nako na-save, sorry" moments.

  • Pro Tip: You can assign tasks directly sa Notion page. Everyone knows what to do and you can even see kung unsa na ang progress. (No more ghosting sa group chat, kay kita dayon!)


3. Calendar Mode for Deadlines and Events

Notion’s Calendar feature will be your best friend! Instead of manually tracking deadlines (or forgetting them—oops!), just drag and drop assignments, exams, and even org events into the calendar. It’s perfect for busy students na daghan kaayo'g ganap sa life.

  • Pro Tip: Color code each task according to priority, class, or event type. Easy ra kaayo makita kung unsa ang dapat i-focus for the week.

4. Customizable Task Lists = Your New Study Flow

Notion lets you create to-do lists that are not boring! Pwede nimo i-customize with checkboxes, progress bars, or even embed reminders. You can also use databases to sort tasks by subject, deadline, or importance. Para sure, dili ka mabitin sa mga tasks nimo.

  • Hustle Hack: Create a study schedule for each week and attach study materials directly to each task. You can include links to your readings or even uploaded PDFs.

5. Study with Templates!

Busy students don’t always have time to set everything up. Good news: Notion has templates for just about anything! You can use pre-made templates for lecture notes, study schedules, reading lists, and more.

  • Example: Use the “Reading List” template to track your required readings. You can add columns for due dates and notes for each chapter. No need to scramble when exam week comes!


6. Stay Focused with Pomodoro Technique in Notion

If you’re a fan of the Pomodoro Technique for studying, you can use Notion to track your Pomodoro sessions. Add a timer widget or create a custom template to help you track your study time and breaks. Pomodoro = Focus mode ON! 🔥


Why Notion is Perfect for Students

In short, Notion is your study hub, planner, and note-taker all in one. Ang convenience level is unreal! It’s free for students (just sign up with your school email), and you can access it on your laptop, tablet, or phone. Everything syncs, so you won’t miss a beat.

Kaysa magduha-duha pa ka, try it out! Set up your own system, organize your life, and take charge of your studies like a true Barkababe boss. 😉
