1L Life Hack: Don't Get Distracted

The time you have now is crucial. It is not the time to get distracted. I know there are a plethora of things you may want to focus on instead of updating your outline and researching for your legal research papers. Sometimes reorganizing my sock drawer seems more appealing than the aforementioned. BUT, I'm here to keep you on track and make sure your focus remains on law school for these next few weeks into finals!

• Make it interesting! When outlining, I like to do things to keep my attention on my outline while simultaneously studying for the material. For example, I use highlighting techniques in my outlines. For cases and examples, I highlight the text in pink. For rules and the law stated within the cases, I highlight the text green. For definitions, I color coordinate the word/phrase I'm defining with its definition. Sometimes, I even make bold letters and underline text that I think is important and would POP OUT to me when studying my outline later on. This helps me remember important rules of law on the exam and also keeps my attention from going to look at law school memes in the middle of outlining with all black text!
• Go take a practice exam! If you find yourself drifting off after copying your notes to your outline for 45 minutes straight, taking a practice exam will be sure to wake you up! There's nothing like an exam to wake your mind and body up! Taking a practice exam while outlining can also be beneficial to your outline. The practice exam may reveal to you some key points you've missed in your notes or outlines.
• For Legal Research, taking a small break to go back and read the facts of the case can really make a difference. Instead of getting upset because you ran into a writer's block (we all do it because we all get them), take a break and reread the question and other elements of your rule block. This can help your mind flow and create more ideas and connections about where you should go next in your paper!

Stay away from the memes and don't get distracted!
