Setting up the filters Checking off a topic This should match the course flag exactly. Once you have added the course flag you will need to add a filter to the topics table. Adding the course filter Setting up filters It will also become useful if you have multiple courses on the go at the same time as they will appear with their flag in the next repetition section. This will ensure the correct topics show up under the right courses. Creating a new course Flag the lecture as the courseĪ crucial step is to add a course flag to the topics or lectures. Within the new table you can add a lecture or topic and start to take notes. From the new page you can add a title and select the template that has been pre-defined. Start by creating a new course or unit by clicking on the + new in the Courses table. Once you have the Notion template set up everything should run smoothly, however, it is worthwhile checking out the guide below for setting up your first course and topic. The rest of this post explains the Notion template and how you can use it to implement active recall and spaced repetition. Spaced Repetition (memory retention) The Notion Template The chart below represents the forgetting curve after each repetition. Typically, after 4 or 5 repetitions you will be able to remember the majority of the content and be ready for any test. Repeating the content brings your understanding back to 100% while also reducing the amount you will forget. If you only revise the general facts once you can expect to forget the majority by the time you reach the exam or test. Spaced repetition is the process of repeating active recall study on a routine basis. While taking notes on the content you would like to remember, try writing out questions and answers as appose to general facts as you can come back to the notes and use the questions as prompts. Passive recall tends be done on auto pilot and can lead to a false sense of understanding. This is different to passive recall which is just reading or watching content. Active RecallĪctive recall is the act of forcing your brain to recall concepts, facts, or content through prompts.
#STUDY SCHEDULE CREATOR HOW TO#
I believe we should start off with an explanation of the two main concepts in studying and retention, followed by a link to the Notion template and a how to guide on setting it all up. If you are a student at university or in the same boat as me, at work, try using this approach and template to increase the efficiency of your study and increase your chances of achieving the grade you are working towards. With this template however, I no longer have to worry about remembering all the content as I can quickly practice with active recall and am reminded to study at the optimal time with spaced repetition. As I can only commit a couple of hours per week to study and it can take months to finish all the study material, I find it easy to forget anything I learnt at the beginning. Sadly, I only found out about Notion and these study approaches after I finished my university degree however, I find myself using this template for any of the certificates I am currently undertaking at work.
