Book Description
In today's global world, many students attend universities outside the country, culture and education system in which they were born or grew up.

Where do you start? With this book.

Book Description
Most of us become regular to-do list makers at some point in our lives. We tend to scribble them down carelessly on Post-it notes, in diaries, on pieces of scrap paper, without any sense of forethought. If we get too busy, however, such a system tends to collapse. We have way too many Post-its tacked to our wall. Our diary becomes a blur of crossed out to-do items and illegible comments. We get stressed and foggy. What's needed, in such busy times, is a proper to-do list philosophy: a stripped-down, fine-tuned system that will allow you to use your lists in a highly efficient way. This is exactly what this book offers. Written with a student audience in mind (but useful for anyone with a busy life), Make Lists Not Fists will help you to de-stress, de-clutter, and take charge of your productivity - all through the power of lists. Topics covered include: -How to set up an effective digital time-management system with Wunderlist, the most popular to-do app on the planet (11 million users and counting) -How to use Wunderlist to remember absolutely everything: never forget about an important deadline ever again -How to make sure you start working on all important projects well ahead of time -How to use a diary properly (hint: keep it almost completely empty) -How to focus only on what is urgent and important, and forget about everything else More information is available at listsnotfists.com.

Book Description
We've all been there: a new school year starts and there's 8 months till your exams - that's plenty of time, right? Then there's 6 months, 3 months, 1 month and oh, now there's 2 weeks left and you haven't started studying... What happens next is a panic-induced mayhem of highlighting everything in the textbook (without even questioning if it's actually helpful). But I'm here to help you change this! In The Only Study Guide You'll Ever Need, I'll cover a range of different topics including: · How to get started and pick up that pen · Learning techniques that actually work (hello, science of memory!) · The dos and don'ts of timetabling · And combatting fear of failure, perfectionism, exam stress and so much more! As a fellow student now at university, I definitely don't have a PhD in Exam Etiquette but this is the book younger me needed. All I wanted was one place that had a variety of tried-and-tested methods with reassurance from someone who had recently been through the education system. The Only Study Guide You'll Ever Need is just that, and I have collected the best techniques and tools I wish I'd known earlier to help you get through your studies and smash your exams! Jade x
