About This Video

In this video I break down exactly how I make study notes for my astrophysics degree, and—more importantly—how I turn those notes into something that actually helps in exams. I start with the practical side: the gear I use day-to-day (iPad Pro 11" + Apple Pencil vibes) and why I like digital notes for physics-heavy modules where diagrams, equations, and quick edits matter. Then I walk through my note-making process: how I structure a page, how I keep things clean and readable, and how I decide what’s worth writing down versus what’s just “nice to have.” The goal isn’t to create pretty notes for the sake of it—it’s to build a resource that reduces friction when you revise. Finally, I explain how I study my notes. Notes are step one; the real gains come from using them to practise recall and problem-solving, especially for physics and astrophysics where understanding and application beat passive rereading. I’ve also linked my reference sheet so you can copy the structure and save yourself a lot of trial and error.
