how do people avoid visiting other distracting discord servers while they are in here studying? I am usually good about it but today I wasted some time chatting in another server. I thought about making a separate discord account just for study servers, but it looks like it's not possible to have multiple accounts using the same phone # as verification

[quick fern]

you can buy a prepaid sim to bypass phone verification

[cunning mountain]

does anyone know any groups i can join which can help in discussing international studies? specifically to germany but i just need information on how to choose and what to be cautious off and fees and stuff

[warped solstice]

I'm German.

Came to America as a kid and desperate to go back to finish college, but I don't understand the educational system at all.

Relatable.

Anybody have advice on breaks?

I'm more of a study for 10 minute sessions x12 over the course of a day than a study for 12 hours straight kinda guy.

Also, it seems like I need long breaks between exams to recover and start studying again, (maybe an A.D.D. thing) and my mood is overwhelmingly tied to my ability to study/focus/retain information, but I struggle with finding the balance of studyimg/taking time off and end up spending most of my time worrying/stressing and not getting anything done.

[rose minnow]

hey can anyone fill a google form for my school project? it's really small

https://forms.gle/gPvxoEsVaffqCurQ8

i would really appreciate it

[young umbra]

all done

[rose minnow]

thanks a bunch dude

[young umbra]

do you need more responses? i can tell my friends if you want me to

[rose minnow]

that would be really helpful
i didnt expect that

TYSM 😭

[young umbra]

I don't have many friends but even a few will help so

[rose minnow]

yea

[young umbra]

alright i sent it to them, hopefully they will fill it out 👍

[rose minnow]

thanks again dude, doing god's work

[normal wigeon]

hey man just filled it out!

tho @ my uni we're only half online

[drowsy hawk]

if you focus on just the amount of time you're working you're not on the right path imo

[tardy lava]

156 dollars the hell is it made of gods wood?

[young umbra]

pretty much

[young umbra]

Personally I have this one

the one I have is branded tho, Reedaer or something similar

[uncut dragon]

can I get tips on how to study for math? I'm really desperate right now on trying anything. (please ping to reply)

[stray pulsar]

what subject

[uncut dragon]

college algebra currently

[stray pulsar]

okay, what does that entail

linear?

or just regular

[uncut dragon]

ummm let me check

functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, linear 2x2 and higher systems, graphing,

[stray pulsar]

okay, with that stuff its just lots of practice 🙂

is it hard for you to find resources/motivation?

[uncut dragon]

very much so. motivation

[stray pulsar]

what major?

[uncut dragon]

i'm computer science

[stray pulsar]

https://courseware.cemc.uwaterloo.ca/8 (good resource i used in high school)

[stray pulsar]

well, you're going to need to understand functions and all this linear stuff for Data Structures and Algorithms. It's pretty important, and fun

[uncut dragon]

I know. i've just never been good at math

I need to pass this one class to move on to all my major classes

[stray pulsar]

thats fair

[uncut dragon]

this is the hardest math I have ever taken

[stray pulsar]

id recommend you to remove this mindset of not ever being good at math. you need to develop confidence in yourself, and to do so, practice is needed. read the textbook given to you and do the homework

youre in this major for a reason, ur a smart individual 🙂

[uncut dragon]

thank you I really appreciate it a lot. it means a lot to me coming from someone

I just got done 20/45 questions of the math exam review

[stray pulsar]

very good

[uncut dragon]

I have until Tuesday which is the exam day

[stray pulsar]

thats definitely a great start

[uncut dragon]

tomorrow I will stay up late to do the rest

I need to get some sleep because I know that will help with studying

[stray pulsar]

thats ok. take breaks, eat, and make sure you sleep

yes, ur exactly right

[uncut dragon]

got it. thank you so much again for talking to me. I wish you luck on your studies and have a nice night!

[stray pulsar]

yuhh np

Anyone who can help me and tell me should I take attending or non attending college if I join some institution for CA foundation.

[bronze nebula]

Thank you 💖

[fiery abyss]

@uncut dragon I would just keep doing practice problems. I'm in calc 2 rn, and I don't completely understand the concepts taught in lectures until I practice a bunch of questions that require using said concepts.

[uncut dragon]

got it. I will keep that in mind as well!

[fresh oriole]

I came up with a workaround for this, in case anyone is interested. It's only possible using Discord in the browser (so I deleted the app from my computer). But you basically just use a browser extension to temporarily block the URLs to specific servers that you find distracting. I'm using the LeechBlock extension but there are probably others that do the same thing

Hey guys, is there anyone who understand how virtual machines work and how to program on linux ubuntu. It's for a robot project and I'm stuck in the wifi communication between my device and the machine

[young umbra]

is your issue the vm not detecting the built-in wifi adapter?

if you're on virtualbox u need the extensions pack which you can find on the website

then sudo usermod -a -G vboxusers username (you replace your username obviously)

then go to the settings of the vm > network > attached to and select bridge adapter

you accept and run your virtualized environment

[calm adder]

this isn't a healthy replacement to 8 hrs of sleep /: our bodies need deep sleep cycles

[valid knot]

How do you transition into a new paragraph? Usually I'm able to do this but I'm having a hard time comprehending rn lol

Guys I'm looking to buy a new 27'' dual monitor setup. I mostly read stuff (law) and take notes, so won't really use them for gaming as I have a higher refresh rate monitor for that... nor for any video editing. Is it still worth getting 4k over 2k?

[grand ember]

nope anything over 1080p would be overkill imo as you just need it for work and that even mainly for reading purposes

btw check out benq monitors

i personally like them for reading epubs pdfs etc etc

[wooden ridge]

ayo anyone know any other websites to download books besides library genesis?

[rancid scaffold]

Zlibrary

[ebon prism]

tbh if it’s just for readings I would recommend hitting up a secondhand marketplace like gumtree. Got mine there and it works great for my readings haha

[young umbra]

yo does anyonehave good websites to find and dowload past papers?

[drowsy plume]

Can I have some tips on how to have motivation and study well? I've been really stressed but haven't found anyway to start studying for exams due to that stress. (Please ping to reply)

Try to make a list on the things you have to study for the exam in order of priority and just start the motivation will come as soon as you start

[glass whale]

Hi, does anyone know what ‘men over men’ in government means?

[inland forge]

I have some general MLA citation questions if anyone out there can assist. I am writing a paper using ideas from one author's autobiography and comparing them against characters from a novel we read earlier in the semester and I am unsure about when I need to provide in-text citations for the pieces. Is it any time I refer to a piece if I haven't already clearly cited it in the paragraph? Our professor informed us we do not need to use page numbers when we cite, just the author and year of publication

[lilac sand]

What.............. the government is weird.

[signal night]

yo fam, how u guys deal w that feeling like after a long period of time you've been studying, u crave to take a break but u can't cause u have a lot to do but at the same time u feel exhausted. man i really hate it like I used to be so motivated and shit ( past 3 ish months) but now, I feel my studying is less efficient, and my ec oh god she's wild, she wanted me to do around 1350 tests in 2 days, i worked my ass off yesterday and i could barely finish 200 tests, whenever i tell her that's too much she just says that im lazy or idc about my future and that's why i cant finish it. but that ain't true. I feel im not doing enough ( i study around 11-12 hrs every single day, except the days i see my ec ) and it makes my studying even less efficient. is there any solution to this? to feel less anxious while studying?

[robust canopy]

anybody here got some information on how to get an undergraduate scholarship for international high school students

i really want to study abroad haha

[proven thorn]

does anyone know any online muns coming up soon?

[young umbra]

how do you guys cope up with school and everything? i just cant seem to find the balance, and im just frustrated with everything.

[plush coyote]

Don't have pending works
Do things on time
Have 1 hour of free time(play with friends or go out ) every day
You are at the school level so I think These three things should work and help relieve some stress and frustration.

[plush coyote]

Ig you will need to check country wise every (developed and some developing ) country have scholarship programs for students eg. korea has gks
Likewise, you can try to search "country-name scholarship for Int. stud (or your country name coz. some countries have mutual agreements to allow stud from each other's countries )

[obtuse birch]

I know that some of you have a healthy lifestyle, but how do you guys feel throughout the day while having it? My brain just can't comprehend the importance of a healthy lifestyle.. yet (i guess)

[plush coyote]

meditate it may sound funny but meditate for some days everyday 20-30 or atleast 10 min let your brain take a break and then don't watch toxic movies like marvel or any fight movies ...watch cartoons if you want to ....become more childish...your brain will relax and will have some time to think of your body then(lifestyle in general)

[obtuse birch]

Thanks for the hint. The fact is that I hardly watch movies but I do watch cartoons. Thanks for your help again. ♡

[plush coyote]

[young umbra]

something more... aggressive.

[echo hatch]

like

GET UR ASS OUTTA BED AND GET TO WORK

like something like that

[opal nebula]

yeah like that

[warped copper]

if you don’t start studying i will bite you

!!!!!!!

[echo hatch]

oh..

[opal nebula]

lmao thanks, but I have siblings, so that wont work on me

I need it to be slightly personal if you can.

[warped copper]

I understand

[opal nebula]

like, borderline insulting, while also encouraging. you know?

[warped copper]

ummm

[echo hatch]

you could send her a picture of you so she could ridicule you

[opal nebula]

uh

not that kind of insulting

[echo hatch]

oh

[warped copper]

Do you want to stay a piece of shit or GET UP AND STUDY

I’m sorry

[opal nebula]

better

dont be

i asked for it lmao

[warped copper]

This was too much

[opal nebula]

not even close.

[warped copper]

what do you study btw?

[opal nebula]

I need like a verbally abusive parent who is disappointed in their child who they think is worthless. That kind of aggressive motivation.

[opal nebula]

right now, anything and everything I find interesting. Currently working on ethics for my class (Undecided major) but I like to study things that peak my interest which right now is Korean and architecture.

[warped copper]

You’re studying something you chose and that seems so interesting for you but you can’t even study for it

Huh

Is that what you want

TELL ME

[opal nebula]

yes

[warped copper]

YOU CHOSE THAT

[opal nebula]

I am just so tired right now

[warped copper]

SO GET UR ASS TO WORK

STOP BEING TIRED

[opal nebula]

it doesnt work like that

[warped copper]

I’m trying to motivate you

lol

[opal nebula]

if I could I would sleep all day

yes i know lmao

ty

keep going?

[warped copper]

YOU LL AFTER THAT

SLEEP

ugh I’m so bad at this cause eng is not my first language

But hey Spade you don’t need all of this

Try to do a plan for it

And try to read all your notes to kinda understand generally the whole thing

Divide it in part

And do like 2 parts each day

When you finish that

Try to practice with some exercises

[opal nebula]

you were great!

ty

[echo hatch]

are you too tired to just get up and do it

what time is it for you

[opal nebula]

my family is just running me down so much

oh gotcha

[opal nebula]

but I've been doing chores and stuff since 10 a.m.

Just whatever works for you, experiment! I feel making good quality notes that are in as few words with all the detail possible, then going on and making flash-cards from the notes with the main points or questions from the notes works for me.

[dawn zinc]

my grade are lacking in critical reading and thinking skills class, anyone have tips and trick that i can improve

english isnt my first language so reading is super hard for me especially big and complex words

[lucid delta]

There is no way to skip math if you want to do physics, that being said I used to be shit at math and I managed to get a bachelor in physics. I'm not saying this to boast, it's more to tell you that you can do it. Your question should be "how to improve at math", and the answer is practice as many problems as you can, all the while being mindful not to memorize the process, instead try to understand it

[lucid delta]

The thing with physics is that is that studying it is almost always the same, you have to understand the theory of the physics (Earth accelerates an object to the ground, Energy is stored in mass, etc) then you have to understand the math that simulates that theory (F = m*g, E=mc^2, etc), after understanding both you have to practice the problems, your physics teacher will give you a number of similar problems to work on and your exam will be similar to those problems, he will give you lot's of problems, maybe 100 who knows, the thing is many of those problems are very similar to each other, if you know how to solve one you will know how to solve another 10 of those. So in reality you only have to understand how to solve 10 different problems

So imagine you've studied and you are preparing for your exam, I would first find as many similar problems as I could (from class/books/classmates), remember my proffesor gave me 100 problems but I can see there are 10 of them that are similar (maybe all of them ask me about the acceleration of a projectile)

1.- I would first try to do it by myself and the theory by my side (try hard, don't give up to easily at your first try).
2.- If I couldn't do it I would look at the solution and try to do it again.
3.- I would go to a similar problem and try to solve it with what I learned.
4.- If I still couldn't do it I would try to understand what am I failing at: Do I understand the problem? Do I understand the theory? Do I know how to perform these calculations? Each of these questions have different solutions, if I don't understand the theory I have to go back to my physics book, if I can't do the calculations I should look at my math book etc.
5.- After I'm finished studying I go back to the next similar problem and try to solve it (without help), if I fail I'll look at the solution and try with the next one

Finally I will more or less understand how to solve these similar problems, then I would make a schematic of how to solve "First calculate the angle with this formula, then find the height with this other formula"

That is what we call a "cheatsheet", you can try to solve problems with that schematic and it will help you keep improving,
So to sumarize, studying physics is always the same: Understand the theory, understand the math, practice as much problems as you can
@young umbra

Good luck, if you apply yourself you will surely succeed 🙂

[grim drum]

heyy, do y'all have any tips for hand pain, after some time of writing? i love my notes being handwritten but the pain is sometimes to a point of not being able to write or writing lazy. any tips greatly appreciated!

hii so i want to ask something about my writing exam

so we are preparing several paragraphs and 2 days later we are going to write a cause or an effect paragraph

but im getting confused every moment while im thinking and trying to study about it

can someone lighting me up what is the difference between them?

I mean i know but can you give me couple of examples for "causes of online shopping" "effects of online shopping"

I thought for the causes provide easy access, makes products more cheaper and contrast more option at the same time

will that be ok?

[agile robin]

So you basicly say that you need to write an essay and after 2 days later you are going to write cause essay version?

[fervent sentinel]

im in a english prep class. we haven't learn how to write an essay so just a paragraph

[round laurel]

force your self to work or develop some interest in the topic which you are studying

[echo hatch]

how i study is just taking short breaks for my mind to recover and refresh for another study session; everybody’s different though so i recommend just trying out different methods for long periods of studying and see what best suits you

[left cosmos]

important thing is to study just for 5-7 hours

no more, trying to do more you ll just lose productivity and get bad mood daily

by the end working like 12 hours a day you ll just give up

[left cosmos]

Probably you got something to worry about

Personally i have many things to worry about. Not solved problems and so on. Thats why i can feel tired just because i am nervous

[young umbra]

LMAOOOO

[young umbra]

it feels like that :'((

[brittle wind]

Are you taking enough carbs? Studying takes a lot of energy. I keep snacking all the time. I see you take proper nutrition, but do you have a sleeping and eating schedule? If yes, then at what times do you feel sleepy? It should be normal to feel sleepy after lunch/in the afternoon. Take a nap then, and your upcoming sessions should be more focused

Snacking is another way to keep yourself awake. If you wish to keep it healthy, keep nuts/seeds to snack on

I personally like studying with cam on. It holds me more accountable and it is harder to sleep that way

Keep an alarm when you nap

And don't stress or worry. Nothing happens if you score less in exams. Been there, done that 🤣

You can try

Switching up your ways is always helpful. I'm grabbing at whatever can help

That's a vicious cycle. But still, keep an alarm for 30 mins MAX when you nap in the afternoon. This avoids going into a different sleep phase. I don't know the details of all this, I just know the conclusion

Are you Indian by any chance?

Which class?

Wanna chat in chill room?

This is not the class to worry about really, unless you are on the brink of failing

Keep going

Are you okay now?

What is time for u now

5 am?

[full glade]

Thanks so much for the advice! I guess this is why I find it easier to focus on stuff like physics

[full glade]

Yeah, that's the way that I do it aswell, so I suppose I may just need to alter what I am doing currently or try new stuff

Any tips to avoid surfing the web while trying to study?

[left cosmos]

The only way

To avoid surfing web

is to turn off your mobile or delete/close all social networks while you are working

[full glade]

Yeah, that's probably the best option

Tysm

Hello

Oh, wrong chat

[ionic zealot]

Anyone who can help us with this activity were stuck and dont know who and where to ask about this topic feel free to dm me

[north sequoia]

Can yall help me with my english project plss

its just a survey

https://forms.gle/2ptsrGtgRjcBj5sA8

like 7-8 questions

[iron bear]

what's the difference between grid and snap spacing?

[proper venture]

what are yalls motivation to keep going

[urban swallow]

What olympiads are you going to participate in?

Im trying to get into IPHO

Well im preparing for it, still a long way to go you know

Freshman things

Oh damn haha

I didn’t know there’s an astronomy olympaids

How are you preparing for them?

Well its what got me into physics and math in the first place

Saudi arabia : )

No no no no

I mean its what motivated me into learning and liking math and physics

Im not that level

It takes alot of preperation from what i know

Nooo i didnt participate yet 😂

What year are you in currently

Yeah they take too much brainpower

Well in my country theres this non profit organization that makes programs

Its tied to the government

Anyways

Its a program that

Takes students from like middle school pretty much

9th grade : o

I know very young

And trains them for like

3-4 years yeah

yep Same thing here

Its just that we train like that from an early age

Yep

Hmm

Gonna be realistic here

You going to fluke in the exam

Its very hard

But its okay

You shouldnt stress about it

Yeah you didnt know about it before

You can apply next year right?

grade 12

I dont know much about bsc Hons phy

But i can give you some

Primitive info i got

The exam features

topics that include mechanics, themodynamics, electricity, and some basic quantum mechanics and relativity

The last part im not sure about

but the first 3 yes

did you take these topics?

Wow damn

Yeah

I was reading online about Bsc physics honours

Thats impressive as hell

I didnt even finish mechanics 🙂

I can give you materials

You guys have it different man mashallah

Its a really good coincidence i went into this channel at this time lol 😂

If you want to quickly review your topics, then a solid textbook i'd reccomend for learning only (not practicing ) is called:

• Physics for scientists and engineers by serway

And for decent level problems you got
-Irodov problems in general physics

Theres also these 2 books hold on

I found them but i didnt read it yet

But it looks like it will be handy for you

let me get a picture

if you completed irodov

Serway will be childs play

I use it for learning physics only like equations

and concepts

These might come in handy

Inshallah, even if you dont get results in the worst case, you got a whole year to prepare and youd have previous knowledge and experience yk

Nah bro i should be learning from you bro wth

Teach me quantum physics sometime

😂

For astronomy olympiads, i have absolutely no knowledge to be honest

Like wise man

Its nice to talk to people with the same passion

By the way

You can just search "Best books for astronomical olympiads"

I found this

You should take a look at this sometime

Dont underestimate state levels

I sent you one

If you get a medal

It will be

VERY

useful in applying to

universities and colleges

Well,

Thats pretty much it

But for real

Its one of the strongest things you can do in your highschool yeara

It will build you for a good future if you reach that level

Alright i got to go sleep now

Good luck studying

I want to hear results from you

Inshallah

I sent you one

Check your inbox

Ty good luck 👋

[young umbra]

Im finding it hard to see the relation between these graphs i have been staring at them for 30 minutes pls help

[stark zinc]

@young umbra

is there like some context to which topic the question is from

when prices are low in year 1991 the production is high

which is fair coz its cheap to buy beans at that period

till 1993 its normal .. low price = more production but am not sure whats up with 1994 .. it says more production and high price

it maybe becoz of increased demand i suppose

[young umbra]

so do you think its fair to point to inverse relations between prices and production if there are clear exceptions such as in 1994?

[stark zinc]

yes

[young umbra]

yeah thats why i was unsure of it

[stark zinc]

some goods dont go by law of demand

[young umbra]

its a horrible question/graph

[young umbra]

yeah

coffee wouldgo by the law of demand though wouldnt it?

[stark zinc]

it can be treated as substitute good

like tea and coffee are substitues

when tea price is high demand for coffee will be high (although i think this aint the point here as we r only talking about coffee)

(this second point i think can be mentioned) 2. Also necessity can be one point .. that the production went down that it wasnt enough to fulfill demand

so even when prices went high, we saw a rise in production

this is what i understand

[young umbra]

yeah i guess

but some people are tea drinkers and others coffee drinkers, im not sure they would give up their caffiene habbits

anyways i managed to write an answer to that question thanks for your help! 🙏

is this description grammatically correct and does it seems to personal? and does it seems okay?

the description:

[hexed niche]

[gaunt marlin]

so it's just a photography zine showcasing the people and the places

and they're all captured on film which makes it more arty

[gaunt marlin]

hi,, so far im good with the description since i received help from someone

tysm for offering to help!

[young umbra]

Im curious. Do you guys take notes with pen and paper or electronically and why

[young umbra]

Pen and paper bc I need to keep in mind that I want to look at my notes again and use them. So its more comfy for me to look at paper than looking on an iPad or smth . And in long term always using electronic devices annoys me and somehow I can focus better looking at paper lol

[unique crane]

yop im doing some design project

what are some tools that you guys commonly use when studying

like folders or planners and stuff

and may i have a picture of what they look like?

if no picture its fine too

[limber tundra]

Depends on what design field you specialise in and what do you mean by instruments 😄

I study urban design, and 99% I use digital to store info. Just “notes” on my phone work great for lectures: I have a separate folder for them, and one note = one subject. I just add to it, put a date and continue writing

I prefer digital to paper, because our professors just rant lol. I can keep up with them easily by typing, because my pen writing skills aren’t exactly the fastest

Also, if you have a graphic tablet, I sometimes make a new canvas, where I can scribble. Great for tables, sketches and other free-hand stuff. Plus, i don’t lose anything this way. The amount of times I lost physical notes is astronomical…

[naive nimbus]

i study graphic design. i use clip studio and canva mostly

i don't use adobe products because somehow they work slowly in my pc. maybe potato specs

Would I do this if I only wanted to quote the first sentence?
The author said "The book includes racism and prejudice. . ." or end with (...)?

[dusky spear]

depends on what´s causing the gap. Looks like a tabstopp to me

[dusky spear]

two things that might help: blue filter glasses and set a timer at least every 90mins to do some "eye relaxing exercises" (close them and look left, right, up down, roll them and other direction. Please also stay hydrated, basically your eyes burn because we don´t blink as often and thus our eyes kind of dry out which gives the burning sensation

[calm adder]

try shift tab

[calm adder]

might not be a possible solution, but try eink displays like on kindles or similar e readers. I got mine for like $40 and it's like reading on paper. you can load it up with whatever ebooks you already have too

Y’all I’ve been having extreme issues with maintaining my schedule and I’m super behind. My GPA is still high but if I don’t get my shit together and get back to 7 hour work days asap I’m gonna have some issues. Help?🥹

[devout anchor]

I really miss James’s 12 hour study sessions on YouTube ☹️☹️☹️

I studied so well, now I can’t do anything

[earnest wren]

Hey could anyone help me with how to be consistent

[slow robin]

atomic habits could be of help

[earnest wren]

I try to form schedule but end up not following after like two days

[earnest wren]

Oh thanks

[slow robin]

maybe because it's too hard? or your environment is not structured in a way to make it attractive and easy?

[earnest wren]

I actually even theied reading it

Tried*

[earnest wren]

Can i explain you where i fail and perhaps you could help me find a way around it

And yea gotta agree i cant make it attractive

[slow robin]

absolutely

[earnest wren]

I play games and do my work on same device so i tried following the tip that when i play games id have to not sit on the table where i work but when i start playing game even at a different spot im unable to stop and waste most of my time

I somehow find a way to loop to my old habits even after implementing tweaks in approach

[slow robin]

it takes time, and you would fail plenty of times

[earnest wren]

Yea right

[slow robin]

you should minimize your gaming hours as it gives of too much unhealthy dopamine which makes it hard to do mundane tasks

same with other activities that gives off too much unhealthy dopamine

practice self control and also tried doing it little by little

[earnest wren]

Ive reduced it to 2 hours but yea other bad habits

[earnest wren]

I think this is where I go wrong

Maybe im craving for immediate results

[slow robin]

yes

focus on the journey

[earnest wren]

Hmm

[slow robin]

find a reason to justify what you're doing at the present for just that specific day

[eternal moon]

Hey guys i have to do a quick student survey on the topic of overfishing for my university paper. Maybe some of you can do it quick and help me 🙂 It takes around 2min

https://forms.gle/5uaBKwJkhvNMAgxTA

[earnest wren]

I dont get this sentence im sorry

[slow robin]

eg (i want to workout because that increases my cognitive ability for today's work)

see that it's specific to that certain day

[earnest wren]

Ohh

My study goals look like "i wanna get _ marks in _ test on _ day"

[slow robin]

what about

[earnest wren]

Thats not in present tense

[slow robin]

i want to learn this thing so i can learn something today

[earnest wren]

Yea amazing dude

I never thought this way

[slow robin]

i use that technique, i had the same problem back then

also try journaling

[earnest wren]

I do

[slow robin]

write about your progress and discover your strengths and weaknesses

[earnest wren]

Yea thats major factor for limiting my gaming for 2 hours

[slow robin]

that's good

apparently i totally quit playing games (but i do play once every two weeks just to unwind)

[earnest wren]

I think i gotta think more in present and set goals according so that they address present rather than marks

[slow robin]

yess

cool

very nice

[earnest wren]

Dude i only played chess but then my friends got me into genshin

I think this is challenging for me

Wth man thats great

It was worth it i think

India

Jee 2023?

Nice

Good luck man

Ima own mains but struggling with advance

I was adviced to only pay attention to Olympiads if im thorough with advance

Gahh bye ima study

[viscid lily]

I want to ask ...probably a few really specific questions.

Let's imagine levels of focus for study as this: novice (able to focus 30 minutes a day before zoning out in study), beginner (able to work 1-4 hours a day in 15-30 minute sessions), intermediate (able to work 6 hours a day in 30-45 minute sessions), advanced (able to work 9-10 hours a day in hour sessions).

now let's say you pick one of these levels, any which one, and you want to advance to the next....basically, I'm trying to slowly improve my studies to even further than advanced level. I'm in-between beginner and novice and my goals are too large for me to not have anxiety about my work ethic .

What type of daily schedule should I do to advance further to another level? What type of tracking of progress should I have? Does anyone have examples of themselves slowly progressing in focus for their studies (and by this, I mean working in a session that has consistent progress with no zoning out)?

[brittle wind]

Over the past one year, here are my observations with this:

• Be obsessed with your goal. Slowly and steadily be obsessed with it and let it consume you. It makes it easier to enjoy the whole process.
• Break this obsession on these things though - food, exercise (health in general). It's easy to just keep studying when you get into the zone, but the sustain it you need to eat healthy and exercise, especially to target the body parts involved in sitting all day.

• For me, I like switching things up every now and then. Sometimes I like it better when I'm studying with others. Sometimes I like studying alone.
• Find ways to release tension and stress, especially when you hit a roadblock like a difficult concept or for me it can be making short notes. I hate it and it gives me back pain. I like to annoy my brother when he's around, or just talk to my friends.
• Have a good environment and support system. Consciously keep the people who help you in any sense. It is usually a trade off with them. I just maintain a few good relationships, and have mended my bond with my parents over the last year. It has helped me a lot since they are my biggest allies right now.

• It certainly helps to have a rough roadmap. I find that I study better when I have a to-do list. Otherwise I feel less sense of accomplishment when I complete tasks, or might even feel lost without a direction to go in mind.

[viscid lily]

Thank you for the advice! I have noticed focus can be affected if your other needs haven't been met as you have said and I def have a goal I obsess over. I will admit though, my studying at current is...weird? (I'll explain then sleep because I do not want to take up too much time 😅 )

At current I think of my study in two modes: the M-mode and the I-mode. This is really just a jargon I use to explain other ideas over study that have been researched to death. In an M-mode you are working mechanically and usually aren't distracted. This is usually called a "flow state", to give an idea. In the I-mode you exit out of the M-mode, your mechanical work, and have to think about what you are doing or have to de-tangle what you are looking at out of some confusion that was brought up. Usually in study, you are going in-between modes, especially if you are working on a project. There are also questions or topics that flow nicely with each other, making understanding easier while other times you will come upon topics and concepts that will take you out of flow into I-mode, forcing you to expend a lot more energy into trying to piece together your understanding.

What I've noticed is that I can work for hours in the M, but if I have to continually break into the I I slowly lose focus and energy, leading to zoning out. I'm guessing it's because continual thinking on one task can sap energy if you haven't done so for periods longer than you are used to. The problem is that is exactly what stops a person from progressing. It seems those at an advanced level can intuitively ask the questions and find the answers necessary to get them back to their M (flow state) without wasting too much energy, leading to longer studying sessions (this is why I believe group studies with others can be quite productive as you can test questions and get answers faster than you can by yourself, wasting less energy. if you're a people person, you can even get energy from being around others).

TLDR; I want to build a better intuition within my I-mode so that I can swap faster and continue a flow for longer. This is the way I think about studying. It's like how experts in a field will learn topics in that field faster than those who are new because they have the intuition to know what questions lead to them being able to piece an understanding and which don't. For any study I'm doing, I've been tracking how much quicker I can go in-between modes, understanding there is an awkward phase with any new study before I can get better at learning new things from that field. If there aren't any tips for building quicker understanding of new subjects, that's perfectly fine and I'll just continue with good 'ol raw discipline (my questions tend to be a little too specific. 😅) Either way, thank you for your advice 🙇🏾‍♂️ (TLDR 2x; How does one go about building intuition for any field of study? How do you make sure that you practice productively so that you aren't just wasting energy when trying to build that intuition? What tips are best?)

[brittle wind]

A whole pdf coming up 😆

I understand what you mean, and I really love these questions. Journalling and answering such questions is the best way for me organise my thoughts and counsel myself. The best way I can explain and give advice is through quoting my own life and sharing my personal thoughts and experiences here.

I had been loving and enjoying studying for quite some time, with no back pain (which can even get me bedridden). And then my parents started some construction work around the house. I know it is for my own good even (an attached bathroom is being built) and the general maintenance around the house, but it is frustrating at the same time, since it is right next to my room and the whole house is a mess to even shift to another one. I am a perfectionist. If I clean, I would not stop without going for the shine. While I can bear a certain amount of untidiness, I hate it when the limit for it is crossed. And since it had been crossed, and my compromise went on for over a week, yesterday was the day I completely broke down. The past week, I wasn't able to study, even basic tasks of the day were accomplished without a peace in my mind, and all this when I have just two months left for an exam that I quit my job for 1.5 years ago. This had a waterfall effect and I had some fights with a really close friend of mine as well with the misdirection of anger and frustration. Had disagreements with parents as well, with them asking me to adjust and me wanting at least some for of organisation around the house. Eventually, I could not study. I have been slow with studying for over a week now and it has been frustrating me. And so, I talked. First with my friend, then my parents. Things didn’t just smoothen out, but at least my parents have taken a step forward with organising and I have taken a step back with my wish to control.

What I mean in short with this narrative is that some things are just out of the control. And there are always instances of disturbances from external factors, instead of your own mind being a problem. And this is just one story that I shared. There have been other instances like flood like situations and water supply cut off, or guests arriving making me sick or just disturbing, or my own back pain or periods etc. There will always be such factors out of control when you embark on a journey. So what I remind myself is that this is a marathon, not a 100 m sprint. I cannot control everything. Instead, I keep the anchor of my goals to bring me back to studying. I remind myself about the WHY and the fact that I DO love studying, and it makes it easier to get back to studying. It will take another week for the work around my house to be finished, so instead of breaking down over that, I turn to little things like cleaning or journaling to keep my sanity. I get excited over the new routines and habits I can build after the work is done. And then try. I am in the I mode that you described. It will take me a lot of time before I can get back into the M mode once again. But I am still okay with it, because I know I will LOVE every day once I get back there.

I’ve given up my control over study timings to give more space to this even, this flow state. I take a break when my body says so. I take the day(s) off when my body tells me to. But when I do so, I make sure I try and do things which will make me come back stronger than before and the effects of break really show up. For example, watching a show I love or know beforehand that it will inspire me (Haikyuu for me), or bond with my friends or family, because when I make time for them, only then can I expect them to make time for me, or clean my room, or even answer questions like this. What I do try to stick to and maintain are my sleep and meal timings. What this does is take away my need to think about when to eat and when to sleep and wake up. I wake up when i feel well rested. I have morning rituals which aren’t glossy like on instagram or YT, but just basic - freshen up and have coffee. Then just sit down to study and have meals around similar time every day and study for the rest. About three hours before bedtime, I stop to wind down, set targets for the next day and do something I might love. Me time basically.

But all these are answers that I’ve found for myself. These are the tried and tested answers which for work for own personal situation. It took a lot of ups and downs, meditations and setbacks to get here. But all this came about because I had just one motto in my head - “2022 will be my year of health”. So I started prioritising my health right from the start. That led to prioritising myself. That led everything else falling into place. So when it comes to questionable situations, I think from my own perspective. It doesn’t take more than a few days to resolve all blockages that I come across, because I know whom and what to prioritise. Since I am not compromising on things which are super important to me, even when I have to help or accommodate others, it is not at my own expense. I learnt to be tactical about it, of course, but I eventually speak my mind, and it feels so much lighter. When other stuff doesn’t weigh me down, I can focus on the one task that I need to, that is study. Another thing is I pray regularly to this higher force which takes care of everything that is not in my control like results. This takes off the pressure from my shoulders. I just need to focus on my own work and duties, rest will be taken care of. I find that everything happens for a reason, so I am grateful for even the lows that I come across. The fights with my Mom has brought me closer to her. I was able to address my childhood issues. I cried a lot yesterday, but I am much more happier today than I have been all week.

As for that intuition for a field of study, for me it is through watching lectures and then hitting the books. If this is not something new that you’re trying to discover, there would be a lot of work that has been done on the same thing. I was recently stuck on a topic, and it was so annoying. I couldn’t understand what the teacher was talking about, and then I started forcing myself to read the book on that topic. At first it was hard, but then slowly and steadily, the pieces came together like in a jigsaw puzzle and that satisfaction is something that keeps driving me forward. It’s my dopamine. This can go other way around as well. When time is limited, it is essential to not go too deep and start PhD on a topic, then it is essential to go breadth first rather than depth first.

By now I've written a book 😆

Thanks a lot for these questions, I will keep coming back this when I need advice for myself

[viscid lily]

I want to write out my response to this but I have a flight in only a few hours I have to wake up for. For now I'll just say

Thank you, kind person, for taking time to answer my questions 🙇🏾‍♂️. I'll write out a little more context when I can, but the main thing I want to say was thanks, and also that I'll be tracking my studies on a meta-level and seeing if it bears fruit. I'll explain more once I'm off my flight as I also have a good essay I want to say in response 😅

[brittle wind]

Most welcome! Have a great flight, and rest well ✨
And I can't wait to see that essay you have in response, really. I'm sure I'll learn something from this as well, as most of what you say is relatable for me.

@brittle wind Ok, let me get to writing ✏️

You definitely have a good grasp on all aspect outside of studying and I say this knowing that, if you are like me, you might feel like that is not the case but it is definitely helpful for me to see someone taking their study by a day-by-day stance, balancing out their outside life and this one. For me, I've had this compulsion about study for a very long time, about work even. It feels like I haven't relaxed in 8 years, thinking I haven't done enough work, like if I didn't learn x amount of topics in a day it was just a worthless day that I used up and now I'm closer to death, that type of thinking 💀 and yet it is also exhausting enough to lead to me not working at all a good amount of times, so I know I have to discover my own way to break from the cycle. The times when I feel like I can relax don't come from the things I used to enjoy as a kid, but...progressively weirder things, all focused on study in some way, especially when I think I've found another way to pave my own road when it comes to my thinking on study itself, but that pales in comparison to if I make progress on the C-mode (yes, another 😅 . To explain, it's M for mechanical, I for intelligent, and C for creative).

Before I go into that I want to say environment and how you create it is definitely a factor for my studies. The hard part for me right now, however, is that a lot of the people I know have given up in some way or form, accepting a type of failure that I feel would just make me feel sick, and it has! Genuinely, if I haven't made progress on my life goals I get ill. I can't sleep, my anxiety spikes, I crash more often (oversleeping 10-14 hours), and it's hard to escape from that cycle until I break it myself through some routine and even then it usually makes me go back a level on my studies (like going back from beginner to novice in focus from my previous questioning). I even talked with my mom about it before, hearing her state she felt the same way when she was younger but there's really nothing be done except keep trying. I...don't blame those who give up though, it might just be that I can have a consistent fail and success streak for years that has a skewed ration towards "fail" and yet I'll keep trying simply because I want to be good at what I do. It's my own obsession, but I also wonder if I can even call it a love, but most can't tell the difference. In either form, it's what I like to do, so it works. I just wonder how you'd go about your studies if you didn't have anyone around you who had an obsession on something? I find that it can be discouraging if most of the people you know don't have something they have consistent care towards doing that gets them out of bed in the morning, even with the understanding. For now, I just feel I have to grit my teeth till I graduate from my Uni, but doing so is immensely exhausting, especially when done by myself.

Alright, now let me explain what C-mode is. These modes that I made up are actually from my favorite book "Godel, Escher, Bach" by Douglas Hofstadter (in the book though, their meaning is a little different from how I'm using them here and there is no "C-mode". The modes were created to describe the ways you can interact with a system, mainly discrete math with M-mode being for mechanically creating theorems from axioms using rules of production, I-mode being our human ability to exit a system and observe it's actions, like how some axioms cannot be create by the system alone, one being '0 + x = x' not being able to be formed from the rules of production for a system as an example, so it being impossible to create in the M-mode, and a U-mode which is "zen", in which you do not observe the system in divided ways but as a whole in this weird way that's....a little hard to explain).

I created C-mode as a marker for progress inspired by the book when I entered research at one of the labs at my Uni. It's the most exhausting one, and I made it just to explain concepts that have most likely been researched already ("transfer learning" to say one) but are easier for me to understand by using this jargon. With M, you are just flowing with rules you created before, basically "intuition" like how I explained back with experts in a field being able to learn faster in that field simply because they have the intuition to know what needs to be asked and learned to piece together everything. I-mode being when you come across something that interrupts your intuition, meaning something you've never seen before and requires a longer thought about it and a longer search for answers.....then C. A blank canvas.

So C is creative and it's hard to measure progress in it by default just as hard as it is to explain it so I'll just give an example: Say you enter research for a field you have miles and miles of knowledge in, intuition and all, barely have to enter I-mode since work flows easily. Well, now you have to synthesize brand new ideas from this field. Usually most would hit the papers like I've been made to but that doesn't fully help me. What I want is to transfer intuition from different fields and possibly use the "rules of production" that a person has as their own intuition for a new field and see what ideas might arise. My main focus for now is on taking rules and ways you produce digital art and applying them to Spintronics, but I have to work and learn a lot before I get there and I think it'll probably take a few years if not a decade before I can sit comfy with my ability in this. I also feel like I should clarify a bit more:

Say you have two models of working when it comes to any field you are studying with certain questions that dig up something more in that field. Like, on an elementary school level, let's have three field: Hardware, Art, Software. If you have intuition in both, you can get some incredibly weird answers and questions from asking things in an irregular way:

"In art we have color theory to describe realistic lighting, those shades can be combined to create a portrait that looks like a photograph. Take one concept from hardware and ask how, with the same thinking you've had for color theory, how would you map on the concepts of color theory and how you produce that same "portrait" in the Hardware sense? You know the process for creating a realistic photograph, can you map that same process, through a little bit of thinking, to synthesize ideas around hardware?"

I think I've explained it a bit oddly, but this is basically why I'm working towards building a better and better method for building intuition on topics. After a while, and it seems to be the case, intuition for one field flows to another and they slowly combine and you become more and more creative with the way you approach research and even just regular art. It almost is like all fields connect in this weird way, and it makes me happy when I figure out more of these connections. So I'll connect all of that into a few questions:

How are you creative in connecting ideas from other fields so you gain a better understanding in what you are studying (this is probably best answered with an example 😆 )? Have you noticed the way topics from varying fields can sometimes connect smoothly?

[viscid lily]

(Oh, and one more side thing. I've notice I-mode usually is exhausting only when you aren't curious about what you are doing, meaning questions are being forced instead of arising.)

[brittle wind]

Do what suits you. No one's life template is the perfect one to follow. Try and find a balance, talk to yourself and figure out what you really want for yourself. I know everything is grey, and nothing is black and white. Social media is helpful and motivating at times, it can be scary because of no blueprint for a balance, but still, do what suits you. Leave what is harmful for your mental health. Talk, if you need to and strive for peaceful, helpful and a balanced life

Mine used to do the same but I found out it was because of my cleaner

It might be a component issue or possibly a OS issue

Easiest thing to do would to be to take care of anything that would have something to do with the OS or decluttering the thing from useless files

If anything you can restart the OS if nothing else works and if that does not help its a bad component

For graduates out there, is it harder to meet people after graduation? I want to see if it's harder than it is in undergrad to meet others.

Yeah! I guess I should also add that I'm American (not many social hubs in my city, unwalkable, etc). It seems like it's harder to meet others outside of college once work-life begins

[vapid token]

I’m grateful for my friends now, they are lifelong friends and helped me a lot recently while I was going through a breakup, I just simply want to meet new people

[viscid lily]

Odd.....we live different lives. Found the people who I would admire, try to be, and befriend in my highschool years and one of my deepest friends in middle school. They see me as a guy who has it all together, some of them, but I really don't. They also would be the ones asking why I'm not settling down on my studies or would get mad/annoyed, one of my friends saying I used to be a bit dazed but (after I explained what I wanted to do), was happy he could see a spark. A guy I regularly talk to sends me internships, asks regularly what we'll do with our studies and so on. I think our differences might be that I was just...lucky? They want to make plans for getting on the world stage, and I work so that I can join them in it, feeling inadequate when I'm not trying.

I think it's good to be cautious, but the optimism in talking to others is the only way to create a deeper bond, no? I guess it would be easier to learn who deserves vulnerability, and who don't

[vapid token]

Imma reply to this when i wakeup lol

[viscid lily]

[lost sky]

what app u guys use for to do lists?

i mean journal

[viscid lily]

Dw, you didn't talk to much (believe me, if you scroll up in chat you'll find me typing essays). I can understand that pain from betrayal, or at least I think that's what you mean. In any case, I hope you find those who you can be vulnerable with without worry, even if that takes time. I also worry you think I'm saying this with a mask....and maybe I am, actually 😅 , but I feel I'm also saying this because it's great to not feel lost by yourself in study. I spent my highschool years severely anxietal, admiring my classmates. My school was #1 in Texas for a time and #12 in the US...but I was lagging behind. I kept asking why I couldn't focus and it was because I was lacking social contact. It's been better though, since I never joined a friend group, I learned how to create strong bonds with others on the individual level. I've joined college now and, can safely say, yeah friend groups are not for me. Not only are they bad for forming strong bonds, their dynamic changes based on the direction of the wind, and you find out who you're close too and who you aren't when drama arises.

All I'd say is, yes. That study is important, and people are wearing masks, even I might be wearing one right now...but I'm more feeling worried you'll be on the same path as I way before and I'd rather someone not be on that. I hope you can find those who you can be vulnerable with and who raise your optimism when it comes to such endeavors. I've had my heart broken a few times, but I've also worked my way towards a sort of "iron heart", where I can be betrayed but my heart can take stabs and still I can give my heart out again. It'd be akin to having someone break your heart in a relationship and yet you can still give it in full to the next one. I don't think I'm immune to losing this optimism though, and I hope I don't have to be shown I'm mistaken in the same ways you've experienced. All in all........

I hope you find your kinfolk.

Life is survivable without them, but surviving, as I got to know, isn't fun.

[brittle wind]

For me it's either Discord or Good Notes

Hi! I'm a 25 year who likes writing essays as well 😆

But to answer your question and to add to the discussion @viscid lily, I'm your polar opposit

I found it easy to make friends after graduation and while working. But then again, this goes for me aloe. I cannot live without friends. I was fortunate enough to meet people I could vibe with. I find it less stressful to live, once I've vented out to my friends. For me friendships are like planting. Planting seeds. Some grow into strong trees, some just remain shrubs and some wither away. Trees are the ones I've stayed in contact with for years and still talk to. Shrubs are people with whom the friendship is there, just that I don't talk to them much and then some just die away.
This whole forest doesn't grow on its own. It takes time and effort. I mean, if I expect someone to be there for me, I do the same. Some prioritise me over others, and I do the same. When this matches, it works, or else it withers.

[viscid lily]

Basically, same. I know there are withstanding relationships since I wasn't able to talk to one of my friends for 2 years and I can still pick up the phone and talk to them like nothing happened. Can go months on end in the same way

[brittle wind]

Since I am clear with what I look for in relationships, it's easier to prioritise over the other. Easier, not easy. It's hard to find a balance between being a people pleaser and being a stuck up person while maintaining the friendship line, while knowing whom to prioritise. Every person has a different value system. And that makes the biggest difference for me. If I find someone breaking my trust, I'll cut that person off. I'm ruthless at times, while kindest person towards some.

[brittle wind]

Yesss! That's the bond to fawn over. But they might not be there either at times. So not holding a grudge, being understanding, etc is also important

Nah, i don't think so. I was a loner back in school. Most of the time I went around like a nomad in our recess breaks. Friendships didn't come easily for me. I was betrayed a lot. But it was in college mostly that I found people who were so much like me. They went through similar troubles, had similar attitudes, etc (engineering students in India)

And I don't always have friends around me even now. I find it to be a long process with a lot of time invested, but while studying, I'm okay with just these online communities.

And talk to one of my friends when I really need to open up

[viscid lily]

I agree with Myst, I mainly spend my time in highschool by myself out in recess, one embarassing moment being a debate coach I know asking me why I'm alone with genuine worry. I wasn't betrayed as much as I'd fade from certain relationships. I mainly found the people I'm friends with through others or they "adopted" me. It's changing now though, adulting has taught me the importance of the make in "make friends". It's up to you to keep up repeated contact, there is no environment in which you will get to repeatedly meet so that things grow naturally. It's like the plant you had used to grow just from the sun, now you have to actively water it

[viscid lily]

There's also that ruthlessness as well. There's an odd "natural filter" that comes after a while that cuts people off, though you sometimes will have to be harsher in your cutoff.

[brittle wind]

I relate to this word to word!!! XD
You said it better, some fade away. It's more like sometimes there might be imbalance in how others view you and how you view them. Or sometimes it's just the change of tide with the time

Turning to God is golden. I feel like She's watching over me, nudging me towards the right direction at times and what She expects from is just gratitude.
As for those friends, if this is their repetitive pattern, it's upto you, but i would cut them off gradually. I've done so for some school friends. If it's meant to be, it would be a mutual bond, not one sided. But if you do come across better humans, I hope you don't shut them off straight way. If something hurts you, then heal from it first and then move on. It's like a relationship, if it's not reciprocated or turns sour, it's time to move on.

But if they are being rude to you or hurt you, then why not. Being nice always is also in a way being dishonest. My closest friends would know I'm not a perfectly good person, and I'm grateful for that. It sets better boundaries and expectations

(I'm sorry, I mean this in a debate/talk manner. So sorry if this comes off rude. No intention of that 🙏)

[viscid lily]

Hm....I do too. But I'm also sometimes rudest with my best of friends, because I expect them to be back (that's a little different from others though, when I'm rude because I just want them out of my life). If it's continually rude or boundary crossing that relationships should die in any case. I wish for you to get that deep trust. I think once you have it you create an understanding of what you are looking for and the differences in the way others who can have a deeper bond treat you vs those who can't

I might be rambling a bit. Let me read up a little and I'll respond a little better

[brittle wind]

Again, I disagree. We as individuals have our own quirks. And it's okay to expect something basic like friendship from the friends you mentioned. So no, you're not the problem. Your answers here show you have a soft heart and wish to genuinely help others. But yes, healing from our past is necessary to grow and explore. I'm sure with your nature, you'll find someone to vibe with. If right now, studies are your priority, then avoid this for ow. But later on give it a try. You might be able to gain new experiences and know yourself better even through the lenses of others

Agreed 😆

[viscid lily]

We really do live opposite in a way....I can sense some of my friends are anxious that we are fading and don't want that to happen so they will contact me regularly. I want to contact back more, but as I get into studying more and more, I don't want to start a convo then leave them on read, making them anxious again. If I were in your situation though, I'd say it's unfair for them to vent but not be vented back and would bring it up on how it makes you feel. Hell, for most of your relationships you should have this type of talk somewhere within them as I have in most of mine, it's a type of vulnerability. If that vulnerability is treated with hostility, cut it. If it's muddled, you can try again later. same response? cut it.

You should feel like your friends make you energized, not that they are a second job. (if not energized, they should at least calm you down. If not that, then at the least they shouldn't be something that you will vent about, at least not routinely.)

[brittle wind]

I hope you get to see your family happy soon 🤍
And yes, that's the spirit. Come rant here or talk to strangers even in case you need to vent or anything. I'm sure you'll make really good friends you really deserve ✨
Awwww! It's an honest description 🤍🪷

[viscid lily]

I've been hurt by them too, mainly old anxiety though. Used to hyperventilate when more than 2 people were around me and my ability to be social was shot dead where it stands so my "social self-perception" is still a little small. Those scars leave something that make changing habit hard, and considering how repetition is a part of habit change and you don't usually get into social situations as much when you are a graduate or when you are spending your efforts in study like most here, you'll have it even harder to change. The only way you can really is to just kinda....plunge into it and fail up, at least that was my method (please let me know if there is a better one, I. am. listening.). Best thing for those scars to stop leaving their mark is to make it a part of your work list. That's what I did before...I hope it works for you as well. If you're focused on studying right now and being alone isn't affecting your study, continue on. Once you come out for socializing, we'll be here to hear you out and wherever you are should have a way to meet others, at least I'm hopeful of that.

mmm.....It's fine really. I love 'em and I can go long periods without talking to them and still love 'em the same while acknowledging that period of time may have changed our dynamic. I also understand the wants of people tend to be more. For instance, I don't really miss people I know I can contact or they can contact me but a lot of people usually miss those they haven't talked to in a while so I should focus more on "watering" my safe trees. I just feel that if I really do love my friends, I should put in the time to have focus on them and focus on myself, even if it will make things a little more difficult. They deserve it for being there in my awkward and dark times.

[brittle wind]

You deserve a good one after your efforts here and though I'm not religious, I'll manifest it through the universe and crystals...at least that's what my friend who usually uses tik toks says works ✨ 🫡

[sleek widget]

Ok thanks~ I’ll try that today~

[brittle wind]

Noo! They should be badges of honour 🙌

[unborn canyon]

anyone has similar channels like james'? been struggling to study by myself lately

[viscid marlin]

Good day, everyone! I've been looking all over the internet, trying to find the molar mass of banana peel. Does anyone here know? Your help would be very much appreciated.

[elder cairn]

guys, what does the underlined expression mean?

[elder cairn]

odd??

[wild sequoia]

any one here ever study for the HESI test before?

[viscid lily]

Oh I was just joking. I don't believe in crystals and that at allllllllllllll.

I just find it weird and funny sometimes. It's like when I talk about the "mystical abilities" contained in a pumpkin spice latte from starbucks. Just messin'

Don't apologize, I get where you're coming from 🙇🏾‍♂️

[viscid lily]

I think they mean "estimate" no?

Like "You can travel down that road and reach my house in about 2-odd miles"

[craggy gull]

Hey Question here from a dude who recently found out they think like a Optimistic Nihilist... What is it like for you guys because I couldn't care less about stuff like what happens after death as a example

I'm not trying to start anything religious or some kind of stuff like that It's a legitimate question because I simply recently found out what it means and what it is like to be a Optimistic Nihilist
And the fact I am one

[craggy gull]

And I mean this in a way What is it like to well do other stuff and care about more stuff

[opaque beacon]

How do i motivate myself to do my schoolwork when i get home

I end up saving it for midnight every time

[ashen relic]

you just do it

sounds harsh but like

starting is honestly the worst part

it starts off small and snowballs

once you get like a tiny bit of work done you feel a little good about it and continue doing it

and before you know it, boom, you're in a flow state

hope that helps @opaque beacon

[opaque beacon]

Thank you

ok, thanks

[sick stream]

anyone have any tips for refocusing? i’m in the middle of a crucial all nighter and i’m starting to lose focus

[cobalt temple]

Do it right after a little brake

then you have the whole evening free

[cobalt temple]

Just continuate

turn your phone off

discord too

[desert folio]

keep your phone away and locked

[cobalt temple]

and try many different positions while learning

it helps haha

[sick stream]

i've managed to keep it together for three hours but i have to go to school in like half an hour lol

[craggy gull]

To refocus I take short breaks

[sick stream]

but yes i can vouch for the phone thing, i threw my phone onto my bed and did not touch it

[cobalt temple]

learn the half hour

[craggy gull]

No matter what taking even a Short break can go a long way

[cobalt temple]

and take a picture of what you need to learn while being in the bus

[sick stream]

i'm writing the last essay right now

[craggy gull]

But for someone with attention issues And overworking migraines tis best to listen to music while working

[cobalt temple]

turn discord off

[sick stream]

good point will do

[cobalt temple]

stop writting lol

[queen rampart]

[young umbra]

[vapid token]

Honestly starting it is the worst part and when I actually do it its not that bad. Remembering that helps to make things easier

[young umbra]

Inertia, one could say

[rugged dirge]

ik its stressful to look at all the things youve procrastinated on but putting it off wont make it any better... u get home take an hour break sleep if u cant sleep just lay in your bed with your eyes closed dont use devices youll feel bored and start... i personally start with smthn i dont dread that much.. hope it helps

Quick question, how do I build up connections on LinkedIn with 0 connections?

[elder kettle]

How long do people break for when using 60-min Forest timers?

[brittle wind]

5-15 mins. With my friends its usually 10

[young umbra]

Not really, if you have a fairly decent resume, youd definitely get connections

[young umbra]

If you have perfect projects, they will think you are an introverted genius

I want to ask something really important to me,if there’s anyone who live something like that please tell me. İf you work for your dream school and do everything you can for 1 year and you cant go there and even your therapist cant make you ok with that,how you can motivate yourself to study every day?its like impossible. I know theres so much person have so much more important problems then me and i should be glad with things i have but i just cant suffice.

[frozen dust]

heyy! gud luk for gate ✨

[gray pilot]

how do i study

for ap bio

like my memory

is so bad

like

i study and all that but after the test i lose the information

[vague sigil]

It's better than way, light :) don't be a god of a new world

[calm adder]

how are you studying the material

[gray pilot]

I am taking notes for every chapter

And before the test I review them all

[calm adder]

that's what I thought you'd say; while that is not bad, it isn't the best way to retain information

what you're doing is passive learning - you'd want to use active recall instead. i recommend making flashcards (anki cards or traditional index cards) to test yourself as you study @gray pilot

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSq-KGj_cnY

[brittle wind]

Thank You!! Good luck for your preparation as well 🍀 ✨

[brisk cipher]

Question for people with long study sessions:

How do you retain your focus for long periods of time? And how do you continue to actively absorb and remember information you are intaking? Is your brain actively conscious during the session or are you unconsciously absorbing info?

[brittle wind]

It's a habit built over time from sitting for just 15-30 mins at a time to 3 hrs at time.
Yes, if it is a productive time, it is easy to actively absorb the new information. But there are always days when this is hard as well.
It's best to do things consciously at first and gradually it becomes a habit. I sit for longer stretches less number of times over the day. Like one 3hr session and then two 2 hour sessions. I do my chores, eat, plan and rest for the remaining time of the day.

[spring walrus]

your brain can not store an abundant of information you learn or absorb, so don't try to study learn by heart, instead, if you are in process of studying, try to use pomodoro method to learning, do not distract when you studying

and use this trick, you try to forget the things or information that you learn or read

can you forget? NO, this information can not flee from your brain

your brain will unconciously absorb it if you complelely concentrate on lesson

you learn conciously and it just store in short term memory in a range of time

and then it will vanish

[brisk cipher]

Thank you! Can you give me an example of your schedule?

[brisk cipher]

What if you get… bored? What then

[feral quiver]

I had a dream that James did weight lifting streams every day

[brittle wind]

I'm covering CS subjects. They themselves aren't boring. Although it can get boring to make short notes for me. Or at times I might get bored with a task. I have a mixture of tasks to go to for that, like revising, practice questions, rewatch lectures to clear doubts, etc. I started every subject with their utilities, to make them interesting in my head to begin with. And that carries on. I have some goals and they keep me going as well

[stable cove]

i am just 15 year old doing some math

[spring walrus]

I learn in school in almost morning and afternoon, so I divide my self-studying into 4 sessions in the evening, study 50 mins and take rest 5 minutes.

I learn it to 12pm and then I sleep

[young umbra]

ouaw, 4 sessions of 50min with only 5 min break?
I wish I was able to do that now

[spring walrus]

I never playing games, instead of that, I relax by playing sports or play chess with my friends. Using mobile phone too much can make brain decay gradually on knowledge.

[spring walrus]

sometimes near 10 mins

[young umbra]

I’ll take some training lol
Cause usually when I try to work seriously, I’m not consistent

For example when I work seriously 30 minutes I feel like it was an eternity while I LIKE what I’m learning lol

[spring walrus]

yeahhh it will improve and you can study over an amount of hours

[young umbra]

also I start to be tired and stuff even if I slept my 8 hours lol

despite I like it bruh

[spring walrus]

yeahhh, however today is exception, I need to follow world cup now

japan will win

Hey could anyone please tell me what's the relationship between sociology and economics

It's urgentt

[high abyss]

I am a complete beginner in Matlab. For now I need to learn about following code from scratch. So I want someone who can teach me (callor text) how it works,elements and so on.

m = input("Number of Rows:");
n = input("Number of Columns:");
a = zeros(m,n);
for i=1:m
for j=1:n
a(i,j)=input("Enter the element of matrix row-wise");
end
end

for i=1:m
for j=i+1:m
q=-a(j,i)/a(i,i);
for k=i:n
a(j,k)=a(j,k)+q*a(i,k);
end
end
end
for l=1:m
c=a(l,l);
for k=1:n
a(l,k)=a(l,k)/c
end
end

a=rref(a)

hii, i'm so sorry to bother but can someone explain me karl popper pespective about scince (philosophy)?? I have an essay to do about it and I don't know what to write bc i don't understand it

[jade magnet]

i feel so lost lately, ive got things to do but i cant bring myself to do it. i lose motivation easily, deadlines dont scare me anymore. i just feel like im in this constant hollow feeling. im trying but somehow i circle back to nothing. i hope you guys are doing better than me

[bold relic]

figure your shit out

[terse bloom]

thats not helpful at all lmao

i would recommend going to the library, i def felt like that b4 and the hardest part is just starting and if ur in an environment meant for study(library) then you will naturally find yourself studying

[bold relic]

it is!

I feel like people don't pay enough attention to the consequences of their actions. If you understand that you can do** literally** anything you want, like not studying and dropping out, etc. and you'll just have to bare whatever consequence comes after, then, you get a grasp of reality that you just can't by meaningless applying whatever method you use to get yourself "motivated" -- and that's way more valuable in my opinion.

The problem, at least it was for me, is that deep inside I felt like I could just get by without putting any real effort towards things that matter -- and failure proved to be the best teacher I had. That's why I said "figure your shit out", it is something very personal and only you can convince yourself of such reality.

[brittle wind]

You mean this piece of code and how it works?

[brisk cipher]

You’re both right and wrong.

[naive nimbus]

I'm like the same

Idk

It feels like I'm stuck in this loop

Like anyone else

Have a nice day, everyone! I would like to ask if anyone here has ADHD? I just found out yesterday that I have ADHD, which makes me very nervous. So I would like to take some advice on how to improve my concentration, thank you very much.

[daring dock]

I do what works for me when I do homework is the pomodoro method I recently started taking medicine though that's all I have right now though

[true swan]

try fidget toys, like stress ball, helps you with hyperactivity, at least a bit

[quaint meadow]

i used the pomodoro method once but it doesn't seem to work on me

[quaint meadow]

wow i never heard about this method before, tks for your advice

[quaint meadow]

wait, when you found out you have ADHD, did you go to the doctor or do something else?

[young umbra]

What du u guys prever? Pomodoro or forest?

Using both seems to be uneffective i think…

I flunked my semester really bad. I have about 25 days left before the new sem begins. What will help me is getting into habit of studying effectively. My problem is when I encounter hard stuff I don't pay it enough attention i just tell myself i will keep with for last. I also delude myself into thinking i know how this works even if I don't.
