But, then I start to think, “Oh, perhaps I should type up the notes, add in headings and create a mind-map of the class”. Before long, studying “properly” for each class will take two hours out of my day and after doing it once, I realize how much of it is just drudgery and never do it again, thus falling into my old pattern of doing everything last minute." i find that very very comforting, knowing that I am not alone. “For example, I’ll start by thinking that I’ll review my class notes right after class, which shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes and will increase my recall of the subject material from 20% to 80% (if I recall correctly), a huge jump for 15 minutes.
