Hi Chris,

Thanks for stopping by!

If I were a student, it would be a no-brainer to me: whiteboards have long be proved to be quite useful for a plethora of things.

I had never thought about having a personal whiteboard – although the well-known internet marketer John Reese (originator of Blogrush) apparently has a ‘brainstorming room’ with all the walls covered in whiteboard! After all the positive comments about it I certainly going to get one. I could also provide them in my student accommodation – might be a good selling point to help attract tenants.

Congrats on moving one level up in your workplace productivity! I love my whiteboard, helps me maintain the focus on things that really matter in a given timeframe.

Just bought a whiteboard the other day, seriously one of the best investments I’ve ever made, everything is just so loud and clear of what to do/accomplish/remember.

Yes, Mikhail, I know what you mean: whiteboards are very useful, and there’s something about them which makes you add proper structure to most of your thoughts and plans.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your kind words! I wish I was knew about simple things opening up great opportunities when I was a student! Back then, I wouldn’t believe anything like this, instead expecting some complicated and automated solutions using computers.

You’re doing a great thing for the student community! Thanks for a link to your blog, and good luck with developing it! Let me know if you need any technical help with it.

Hope to see you around!

Hi Gleb,

Thanks for the short but sweet post.

I’m a student and I find that being productive is so important when it comes to studying. Your tips are so simple yet I see so many students not applying them. I work as a speaker at high schools and speak to almost 5,000 students a year. I find your tips directly applicable to my students. I run a blog to help students maximise their marks.

Your whiteboard technique, using colour pens, is almost identical to the one that I teach at schools. Doing regular mindmaps is a wonderful suggestion.

Thanks again Gleb.

Yes, colour pens are great for what you describe! I don’t use pens (only one colour – black), but have 3 different colours for whiteboard markers.

I’ve got pretty much same stuff at my desk, but I also keep close a set of color pens. I adore colors when creating plans, mind maps, charts, etc. For me colors can define category, context, priority and so on.
