Please, guys, talk about note taking from a physics book. I'm a PhD student in physics and I found hard to find some note taking tips from physics or math books (mostly, I find notes that are always texts with no equations). It'd help A LOT if you guys do this because I feel my note taking method is not working at all for me :(
Topic I suggest: If we don’t have a proper working desk but still need to manage on a old / small desk (Eg: table mate, space over a wooden drawer chest ,etc.) How can we organise the things on it and make ourselves productive for a better working space?
0ne tip: saving the toilet and kitchen paper rolls to organize washi tape: I cut them in half vertically, open them and put them inside my drawers as a tray, and then I put my washi tapes in them, they look always so nicely organized!
It's hard for me to throw things away, but then I have drawers full of trash :P I have "garbage guilt" But what do you do with things that aren't obviously trash, can't be recycled, reused, or donated? For example, I have an old planner. I can't stop thinking about it rotting in some dump somewhere forever. I mean the paper would rot, but the plastic cover would remain..
this is ACTUALLY the smartest comment whether it was a joke or not lol with all the stimmy money i upgraded my desk setup and got rid of like 90% of everything and started fresh and went with a minimalish modern gaming setup and now that its very easy to see when shit is out of place or messy, its easier to clean lol
"Maybe only 24% of your desk surface is usable, but if that works for you... that's ok!" Me: *HOW DID YOU KNOW I ONLY HAVE LIKE 6 INCHES OF DESK SPACE TO WORK ON?!*
For anyone that has a small room or lives with more than one person ( dorm, family household, apartment, etc.), I suggest you use your own bed for storage. If you have more than 2.5 ft of space under your bed, use boxes, storage containers, and anything else that can and will close to keep things safe and well kept nicely. If you have a desk and have space under it, use it a makeshift book self as much as possible. I myself used to have a bunk bed but later made it into a makeshift loft bed since my sister moved out. Anyways, good luck organizing y'all! 🍀👍
This is an awesome tip. I did something similar when my roommate moved out when I stayed in a dorm in college. This idea is a great one that I used to some extent with my 2 kids. As my ceilings aren't tall enough to allow for that much space in both sleeping areas I had to do some calculating and found a twin bed that could fit in the bottom bunk but had an under bed clearance of just near 1 foot. Then I found fabric boxes that when organized and mixed just right, allowed me to use fabric boxes under the bed (it was like playing Tetris on paper lol). Things that were infrequently used were stored in the back (and they came with covers so prevented accumulation of dust) and the front boxes became drawers for frequently used items. Since they're fabric and I had wood floors they can pulled in and out easily without having to deal with a drawer and rail system plus they looked really nice ^_^ I love these organization tips! 😍
Just spent the whole video organizing my desk and night stand, and it was the perfect length of time! Instead of setting a timer, you can pick a song, video, or even podcast to listen to while you tidy up. And when it's over, stop! It's a nice way to stay entertained while doing monotonous tasks like cleaning up/organizing
Set new supplies aside until you can get a chance to organize the area they go into. There's lots of organizing supplies out there and not all of them are in the stationary section. Containers for kitchens, tool boxes and even make-up can be useful for crafts and stationary. Collapsible totes are great for magazines and storing/sorting items if you get interrupted. They come in different sizes and colors. Store items you normally use together near each other or in a kit. Don't feel guilty about donating or throwing away supplies that you don't use anymore or don't like.
I used the empty packaging of food, like the cereal boxes shown in the video. I cut them down to fit my desk drawers and added cool holographic contact paper to the outside. Each box holds a different type of item, like black pens in one, rainbow pens in another, ect. It's a major space saver!
For organizing in in draws ect which aren’t visible, I just use what ever I have that fix’s the space, half a old phone box, random plastic box I no longer have a lid for, shoe box lids, old tea boxes. If I have time and know that the layout work I may end up covering them to look pretty but often I don’t bother cos all I see is the very top edge.
For the cereal boxes, you can make it into drawer organizer, I split mine into 3 part with same height, glue them together (the middle part is the part which didn't have cover) and cover them with paper (so the part that didn't have cover will have paper cover)
Less stuff means less to Organize. For many things it’s easier if you store them vertically instead of stocking them on top of each other, which makes it difficult to take something out. In fact, I pretty much only stack identical things (like kitchen plates) on top of each other since there you always can grab the top one, but if you need to choose, like with different T-shirt’s, vertical stacks are better. Think where and how you use something and store it in a place that suits its use. Like, I am always surprised when Americans store their shoes in the bedroom. In my country everybody stores their shoes next to the door so you can just grab them when you go out instead of having to go through your apartment or house. Plus, if you take them off when you come in your place stays cleaner. Or, if you always open your mail right if you come in, have a basket for recycling paper near the doors well as something to sort your mail into. And a knife to open packages and cut the cardboard down into manageable size pieces.
Something that works for me is: Reorganizing my things. I usually get sick of the same order, and it looks messy to me. Changing the way my things are placed helps me know when things are actually messy, and when I’m just tired of looking at the same thing.
I like to have one section of my desk that I leave empty just for writing or taking notes and the rest of my desk I keep all my immediately used items for- it's cluttered but the main idea is that I always have the available space to start work and finish work and everything I need is close by and ready to use!
Probably one of my favorite tips is that if you already put certain things somewhere (for example, clothes in a corner of your room in a pile or pens in a pile on part of your desk) to put a container of some sort in that exact spot. So for the examples, you would just put a bin for your clothes or a cup or tray for your pens
For maps, formula charts, informatory table containing key points from all topics or a major topic like constitution, periodic table, etc. Many of these things are readymade too and are available at most online & offline stores.
My personal tip is waiting to organize until a new addition to the room comes, for example: Getting a new keyboard is the perfect moment to organize the desk, so the new piece will shine on a perfect clean and tidy area
A few of these tips centered around my main philosophy: Don't let things get crazy to begin with. You're always going to feel overwhelmed with tackling a mess if you let it grow, so be mindful of the mess you're making.
My method is: put 30(or any other fixed amount) of things where they belong. You can also add challenge: do thus as quickly as possible. So you don’t commit to an hour of organizing, but you do move in a right direction in a short time. Usually 30-40 pieces is significant to be seen, but not too much to be overwhelming
It's the Midori mini cleaner 2 it's actually to clean earasor shavings but you can use it to pick up spilled glitter,loose staples and maybe as a mini vacume for crumbs but it was invented mostly for earasors.if you want to know more search jetpens Midori mini cleaner 2 review
Use popin organizers, they stack really neatly. I have a paper tray, with a tray half the size of that on top for little stuff that I use regularly and a pen holder nestled in that.
Excellent advises, I use them I am know as the organized person of my house, but the truth is that I’m not. I use rubberbands to attach my cables, and keep them in boxes.
Do you sell the Desktop Organizer (the one with the drawers that the monitor sits on top of) you show in the video? If not, would you mind sharing where it is from? Thanks
Have a place where everything lives so you don't have to think about it everytime. Where's your headphones? In that part of the drawer where they live Where's your keys? In your purse or bag where they live Always put things back where they live then you'll never lose things!
I keep all the things I would need whenever I go out in a small strapped bag/ pouch/ purse and try not to change from one to another bag. In that bag, I would put my keys, elevator card, eyeglasses, wallet, a small notebook, nasal spray, a pair of small scissors, some facemasks, and a multi-pen. If I need to carry more stuff like books & my laptop, I add a backpack along with that strapped bag. I try to always put my keys back in that bag, so whenever I go out, I don't have to go get my keys and will least likely to forget them. I used to put keys in a basket near the main entrance door, having them ready to grab as I walk out of the house, but still forgot them and got locked outside. Since I put all the essentials in that ready-to-go bag/pouch/ purse, I rarely, if at all forgot my keys, except when my mom borrowed them and forgot to put them back.
I use my daughter's hair elastics, like the little fluffy ones from dollar tree, to hold the cords when I wind them up. I put washi "flags" on cables that are special but look like the other 100 white cords we own. For big stuff like extension cords, you can shove them through a toilet paper tube to keep them wound up.
They are, indeed, a Chessex set of D&D dice: 1 D20, 1 D12, and pair of percentile die (1 from 0 to 90 in tens, and 1 from 0 to 9 in ones), 1 D8, 1 D6, and 1 D4. They come in tons of colors, including clear, opaque, glittery, marbled, etc.
What other topics would you like to see in this series? (Don't worry students, we got you; note-taking is on our list already!)

Thank you
They really said “lazy people like US” with their whole chest
@@c0ldc0ne baby, US is the capitalized version of us. The abbreviation for the United States is U.S.
the best way to keep things organized as a lazy person is to have less things 🤧
true

pick the sort ones and turn off auto-play on RUclips. I can spend an hour doing house chores while listening to a masterclass-level podcast.
Excellent tip.
wait the cereal box thing is lowkey smart 😳
I use delivery boxes and metal cookie containers to organize stuff, e.g, my small clothes and hair accessories. A broken lunch box would work as well.
“Or at least look like you are.”
I felt that.
Set new supplies aside until you can get a chance to organize the area they go into.

Nobody:
Me: thinking she put two meatballs into her desk drawer...😂

Self-bribery. Clean for ten minutes, then do something fun, have a cookie, whatever. It's motivating.

We're glad you found it useful! :)
When you have a metal desk you can add magnets to things, and put them under the desk, I did it with a pencil case
OMG THAT TINY DESK VACUUM IS THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN!
"organized, or at least look like you are" got us in the first half not gonna lie
this was actually really helpful! i have depression and haven't been able to clean much of my desk and the 10 minute tip will give me a little boost
“Start where you are” as I am working from home... in bed 😅
Plz suggest more notebooks which are best to write notes
That monitor rest looks cool... where can i get one 👀
Oo nice video! It’s always nice to be able to be lazy yet functional. Anyone who can do that is talented. Teach me your ways!

Keep a dust buster by your desk. Coming back to a freshly vacuumed desk makes all the difference!😄
Something that works for me is: Reorganizing my things. I usually get sick of the same order, and it looks messy to me. Changing the way my things are placed helps me know when things are actually messy, and when I’m just tired of looking at the same thing.
I'm told I'm over-organized. But I'm here. Y'know, in case I pick up a new tip.
Or gear down LOL
Or you can give advice! :D Lazy people who watch this video will need them
Me too hahah

I love this Channel so much.
Think vertically! if you have wall space, consider how it could be used.. Bulletin board, maybe? Or some hooks to hang things like keys?
Good tip!

Needed this!!!! Love you jetpens ♥

I love that tip using the empty cereal boxes!!!!

Great videos as always JetPens!!! Keep up the great work! ❤️😁
It's 6 am in my country now
Just because of your video .
I wake up early
this narrator is adorable🥰🥰
Great job on the english commentary of this video💕
My colleague used to clean her desk every Monday morning. And I agree with another comment that having Fewer items in general also helps.

So you don’t commit to an hour of organizing, but you do move in a right direction in a short time. Usually 30-40 pieces is significant to be seen, but not too much to be overwhelming

The people at jetpens must be psychic I swear. I really have to tidy everything up
Great video but I have to be a giant nerd and ask where those dice came from? They are so pretty!
I always clean up my desk when I wake up or before I go to bed. Mostly do it before I go to bed if I don't think I'll want to do it in the morning.
plz plz make more videos on study desk setups plz jet pen I love those ideas
FIRST AND FOREMOST TIP!!! YOU MUST SEE!!! YOU WON'T NEED TO ORGANISE IT OFTEN!!!
STOP BEING LAZY MAN!
