    Thanks to this video I started writing practice questions in Notion, and let me tell you, I see it helping. The toggle feature makes it easier to convince myself that "hey, you've only got a page of questions to go through" instead of feeling dread while looking at 5 pages of questions and answers.

    I would absolutely love a video about the content of your notes! I'm currently spending the day reading a dense philosophy book for tomorrow, and coming from less of a literature background, I haven't quite figured out what to look for in a text and what to highlight, and how to organize the hierarchy of those thoughts (especially since it's more of a network than a tree). Would love to hear your expert advice on this in the future if you like!
    My degree is many disciplines wrapped into one, so I often can't use the same system from course to course since there's so much variation, but your notion system is beautiful

I am a theatre major and even though I have more hands on work than other degrees it helps me brainstorm ideas for performances and keeps my ideas in one spot so my lecturers and teachers can see my inner and out working to assess at the end of the semester! Love it Sm and your note taking strategy was super cool Ruby!

So when I saw this video, I was so excited! This video was so well done and you were very helpful! I'm also starting a Master's Program this year and I will definitely be using Notion!

    I’ve been using notion for just over a year because Ruby recommended it. It’s my go to for everything. I would be completely stuffed if it went down or everything disappeared. Luckily mine is attached to my email so I can log in on anything. Didn’t know I could get a premium version. I’m going to look into that now ! Thanks Ruby! My university year would be doomed without notion!

    Some other great options would be Text, and the rest are a bit different. They are designed for typing. So there's Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and the Apple version. But still, you can't exactly compare anything to Notion, it's literally life changing even though I'm only in Middle School :)

    Even if my university system in Italy is nothing like yours in England (they give us books to study on our own and 70% of the time they are not even on the exam... The lessons/laboratories aren't related to the books but they are considered like an extra "book"... If you don't follow the lessons you have another 1 or 2 book to study other than the normal books given... They rarely give us extra readings thank god and what on earth is a seminar??) this video was very useful and I'll use a few tips for my Notion!

Could you possibly explain it more? I would be interested to know the source of it as well, because it caught my attention and I would like to research the matter further.

      @@phoebewashington2709 As in, I think he's much more aware of his influence by the time he writes Bleak House. His journal Household Words is well established by the time this is being serialised, and he's a full-on celebrity by this point. I feel like Bleak House is an accumulation of his social criticism from earlier books.
      I mean, he's obviously super critical of the court, but also the absurdity of politics (Boodle, Coodle, Doodle etc.), wilful ignorance to poverty (Jo and Skimpole), poor sanitation (the Fog!!!), derelict housing (Tom-All-Alone's). The list goes on.
      All of his books deal with social issues ofc but I feel like it's more overt in this one. I'd be interested to hear if you agree? xx
