Daily Check-In x Weekly Wrap up - Saturday 8 August
I just want everyone to take 10 minutes to truly reflect on the week gone by. Don't just start typing immediately, maybe get up and pace around for a bit to help you deeply think "How did this week truly go, and was there anything else I could have realistically done to make it better?" It would be easy to just say "got some work done, but was a bit distracted so want to work on that for next week" but this isn't training our metacognition skills which we all know is what will allow us to really quickly find the root cause of our issues. A good reflection here will make the weekly plan so much easier tomorrow

Daily Check-In - Friday 7 August
Drop a comment below giving a marginal gain that you've had from today and a mini goal that you have for tomorrow. Copy and paste this formula below: Day [X] 🔥 Today: [one short sentence] Tomorrow: [one small, specific goal] If you're new, add the streak next to day, the win that you have had in 'today', and the goal in 'tomorrow'. Even if today wasn't great, remember a marginal gain doesn't have to be some big achievement; even recognising a weakness that you can work on tomorrow will get you closer to your goal. Remember, always progress over perfection

Answer Writing Techniques
I've been needing help with answer writing techniques for Science (chem, bio, and physics) and sst (geo, economics, civics and history) as I do remember and learn everything but sometimes struggle to get it out as a proper answer. Any advice?

Fluency is the ability to effectively communicate ideas, and it seems this is the issue that you are running into. I would guess that this stems from the types of retrieval (revision) techniques you have been using in the past. I would guess that you have done a lot of techniques like re-reading notes / highlighting etc which have helped you learn and remember the content but have failed to develop your fluency My recommendation would be to prioritise your interleaving (mixing up revision techniques). My personal favourite for your situation is teaching (directed at a peer of an equal knowledge level), and feynman technique (directed at a child so you have to massively simplify everything). particularly feynman techinque will feel difficult in the beginning but will force you to process the information deeper so you can properly explain concepts

@Isaac T I like how you've recognised that taking a nap was actually instrumental in getting the work done. this is really good
Harry McKerihan - About me
Hey everyone! I'm Harry, founder of Bloom Learning. I created Bloom with a goal of sharing the gift of effective learning habits with as many as possible to help create a world where education is accessible and attainable to everyone. A bit about me: - I'm based in Sydney, Australia - I'm a current 1st year student at the University of Sydney, studying a Bachelor of Science (Advanced), doing a double major in neuroscience and physiology (though I'm about to switch out physiology for psychology lol) - My goal is to continue to study a Master's of Education, a PhD in educational psychology and become a global leader in learning science, updating the current education system, which has been unchanged for over 100 years. - I'm also a big sports fan. I've played golf since I could walk, I love working out, and I'm a mad Canberra Raiders fan (Raiders slander will not be tolerated... jk). I also love AFL and Cricket (but only test). - I'm very much looking forward to getting to know all of you! Ik introductions seem rly cringe and often quite daunting, but I promise this is for a reason. If we can work to break down some of the barriers that exist between us, we can develop a really close knit community. Pro tip: After you post your introduction, find a few other people who seem to have similar interests to you (ie similar subjects, similar extracurriculars etc) and introduce yourself personally. Failure to post an introduction, and I will track you down (only half joking...)
