Here’s How You Can Shave Hours Off Of Your Uni Workload

So much uni work, but so little time? Don’t worry, we know how to make it work!

POV: You are halfway through your semester, the deadlines of the assignments are close, and for some reason, all the professors have decided to ruin your life at the same time. So now you have little time and lots of work to get through.

If this is you, don't worry we found hacks, software and easy solutions that can reduce the hours you need to spend doing your uni work and help you power through the rest of the semester! 

Here are our top 4 tips to have a more productive study session:

1. Convert your handwritten notes to digital notes without re-writing.

Whether you’re taking notes on your iPad, are a fan of those aesthetic handwritten notes, or just prefer writing in class when doing your uni work you almost always require digital versions of those notes too. Because nothing makes life easier than a CTRL C + CTRL V right?

Instead of re-writing your notes in a doc, be smart and use Acrobat and Adobe Scan. You can automatically scan your notes, turn them into PDFs, and voila you have digital versions of your notes. All you have to do is click a picture of your notes and you're done. Now that's a hack that will truly shave hours of your uni work!​

2. Save time and source all your graphics, images and illustrations from one place.

You don’t want to be using those basic stock images that everyone uses, but also don't want to spend hours trying to find the perfect illustrations and images for your assignments? Then you have to check out Adobe's Stock & Marketplace. It gives you access to not-so-basic visual content that will make you stand out from the crowd. It'll legit seem like you spent hours to find assets that make your work stand out, but in reality, you're actually saving time and effort.

3. Design and organise your assignment at the same time

Adobe InDesign is probably one of the most efficient tools for assignment layouts and organisation. Once you have all your content ready, use InDesign to explore your creative side and simultaneously organise all your research and essays. Using InDesign for your assignments is an easy way to get brownie points with the teachers without spending more time or effort on your uni work.

4. Use collaborative software for group assignments

The most dreadful thing about group assignments is the meetings; they are anything but productive. It wastes heaps of your time for no reason! That's why you should use collaborative software where everyone can work on the same document in the comfort of their preferred study zones! 

For example, Adobe's Creative Cloud will let you easily share assets, edits and give real-time feedback. Plus, you can edit and share your work on other platforms and easily invite others to collaborate with those using other Adobe software like Photoshop, InDesign. Acrobat and more. 

Save time, create quality content and avoid all the group assignment drama! A win-win situation at its best!

All these resources don’t have to cost you a fortune - better productivity doesn't have to mean more expense! That’s why Adobe is offering over 70% off on Adobe Creative Cloud which includes all the software mentioned above and loads more.
