I leave my wall blank so when I look at it it reminds me of the empty void created by year 12 and the emptiness that follows doesn't interrupt my chain of thought if I'm thinking and happen to look up at the wall

I like the wall approach!! Away from where you do your study and homework, in places where it will just sink in subconsciously while you are say, brushing your teeth, or eating dinner. Definitely keep it away from places where it might interrupt your regular workflow ;D

I don't generally use the wall approach much, but it's probably a matter of taste. I put some reference materials up on the wall beside my desk, but never full-text because I find it's really cluttered and tbh I can't read it anywhere else unless I wear my glasses anyway so it just becomes more of a hinder than a help. I have a few picture-y things around (maps, diagrams, mind-maps/brainstorms, etc.) but for how I use them it's just as efficient to just use a notebook.

#intense indeed! I never have known someone so devoteddesperate to getting great marks!! That would drive me crazy and I would not be able to sleep at night with my study notes and essays to remember always above me when I sleep and wake! But would be a good thing to do if you can ;D

I only do it for things that I know I will need for like ever and things that I constantly forget. For e.g. , I always forget what nano and mega and giga stand for so I stuck it on my laptop. Now I know that nano= 10^-9 , M= 10^6 and G= 10^9 :)
( i hope I actually got those correct... )

Why restrict yourself to the walls in your study?
I stuck a bunch of Medea quotes all around the house when I did it at the start of this year and I'm still finding quotes in random places when I least expect it. I'd say that it's a nice surprise but I hated Medea so much I can't even. In addition to that, got Legal notes scattered everywhere and bits and pieces from my other subjects that I've stuck onto the walls of my study, bedroom, living room, dining room and my brothers' and parents' bedroom doors. I've even got some random idea I wanted to use for some Literature essay scribbled in lipstick on my bathroom mirror...
There's a system to my madness tho, I promise.
At this stage, I think the only place that hasn't been covered at some point with notes is the ceiling and that's cuz our ceilings are too high and I'm too short... :(
