I used to think reviewing meant going over all my notes, re-reading everything, memorizing every new word.
I don't do that anymore. Now, what I do is much smaller, but more efficient... at least for me.
Right after a lesson ends, before I check my phone or move on to whatever's next, I just sit with it for a minute. Not to study, just to "close it".
I ask myself: What did I actually get from this? What did I say that I'm kind of proud of? What's still floating around in my head?
That's it. No notes, no flashcards. Just a quiet little mental landing.
And most of the time? That's genuinely enough.
Sometimes I'll write something down if a word really stuck with me, or go back over one thing that felt fuzzy. But only if I feel like it.
Then there's one other key moment for me, right before I fall asleep.
That's when things actually sink in for me. So if there's something I want to hold onto, I'll read it over for a few minutes before bed.
Super low-key. You can literally do it while brushing your teeth.
I think we make reviewing harder than it needs to be. You don't have to do a whole study session to make a lesson stick. Sometimes just staying with it, even for sixty seconds, is already doing the work.
See you soon,
Oriane
