If you’re going back to school or are starting university this term, these tips will help you create a framework for your days - all with a little help from your trusty Personal Planner and some practical study accessories.


ONLY STUDY FOR JUST ONE HOUR
Wait, just one hour?! Yes, or at least only one hour at a time! Long study marathons aren’t that great for learning, so if you want to retain more of what you’re studying, you should try penciling in 1-hour sessions throughout your day. When the hour’s up, take a short brain break: stretch your legs and go outside for some fresh air for a few minutes. Then you might be up for another few 1-hour study blocks after! The beauty with this approach is that a shorter study session tends to be easier to squeeze in, even on your busier days.


GET STUCK IN WITH STICKY NOTES
Are you a bit of a perfectionist or someone who frowns on a messy-looking planner? Try our sticky notes, Stuck on you! Jot down your assignments, projects, and pages to read on a sticky note, then place it in the relevant week. Once you’re done with those to do’s, you can just remove the note and then add a fresh one with your tasks for the rest of the week.

Did you know? You can keep your sticky notes wherever you like in your planner, by snapping them in place in the spiral.

FIND THE PERFECT PENS FOR YOU
Different pens have different areas of use. Check out our top three pens for study success: highlighters, pens with erasable in, and beautiful fineliners.


Highlighters - Zebra Mildliner Brush
Zebras gorgeous highlighters Mildliner Brush are cleverly double-ended, featuring a brush-like tip as well as a fine marker, pushing the pens’ usability to the max.

Available in sets of five pens, in three different color combos.
