any apps that are good for planning and scheduling things? More on the latter

daily weekly monthly sort of thing but visually effective

[daring vortex]

Notion

[young umbra]

no probs, im happy to help

i would suggest that you figure out what you want to build first, if you want something more visual, then i would suggest learning html css and some JavaScript, but if you just wanna learn programming, then python is a good start

[young umbra]

I AM USING MICROSOFT ONENOTE for note taking...can someone tell me how do i allign my text with the ruled pages..

[small pewter]

i heard that it can be a bit challenging tbh. It's like learning a new language mixed with solving puzzles. But i think its super rewarding. some concepts might feel like a brain workout at first, but as you crack them, you'll be like, "Hey, I got this!" i believe the key is to take it step by step. Don't hesitate to ask questions, seek help, and practice, practice, practice. Coding's all about practice. It's okay to feel a bit lost sometimes, everyone does. And remember, every time you figure something out, it's a mini victory. just be patient with yourself, and enjoy the journey. CS can open up some seriously cool doors and take you to exciting places. You got this.

hmm i think both programming and coding are closely related. coding is actually a part of programming? i think programming as the whole process like planning, designing, coding, and testing. meanwhile coding is the actual writing of code, like giving instructions to computers. As for which is easier, it kinda depends on you? Starting with coding might feel less overwhelming? (imo, i dont speak for everyone here) But if you dive into programming, you'll understand the bigger picture and how different pieces work together.

[small pewter]

im using notion too! but some of my friends recommended me todoist, microsoft onenote and Microsoft planner. i heard of trello and asana too

[snow void]

as a cs major I will say there's no esay way lol. But you can watch some videos that's related to the programming language you want to learn and make sure to follow along (don't just sit down and watch the person code, code along side with them). You can also get text books or lecture notes about that language learn and practice by yourself and ask for help if you don't understand anything or get stuck.

i almost dropped my major because of c++ 😹

[trail bone]

cant focus to my work guys any suggestions ?

[proper epoch]

Just focus bro🙏🏼

[drowsy hawk]

lemme just copy and paste one of my paragraphs about procrastination, hope it can help:

1. Figure out why you are procrastinating: too much work; perfectionism; boring subject; fear of failure etc…
2. Take a step back and assess (or reassess) your main goals (the big picture)
3. a. If the workload is heavy, break it down to smaller pieces, schedule a specific time to do every single thing (setting 1h to finish an assignment for example will make you go on super focus mode), and take small breaks in between
   3.b. perfectionism: “done is better than perfect, because perfect never gets done”. Take the first steps, you can always edit afterwards, but don’t put the expectation so high it paralyses you; no work is perfect. Ever.
   3.c. Boring subject: make it a challenge, (time-wise, creativity wise etc…), try to have fun with it, and experiment.
4. Manage your energy; you can have a boost from caffeine, nourishing foods, cold shower (that wakes you the heck up), fresh air and small breaks.
5. Check the basics: having a distraction free (no phone) and dedicated space to study/work: your brain then specialise this area and will automatically know it’s study time (so not your bed, or at least the other side of your bed). Once in a while declutter/ clean that space so your mind is at ease too, and you don’t have an excuse to carry on the procrastination.
6. Just start: it’s sometimes the toughest part but once you get into your work/ your project, you get in the mood and complete your task way faster and easier than you expected.

• try inverted pomodoro, if you can just focus for 5 minutes do that with intention, and come back after a small break (phone is not advised hehe)

[crystal lake]

Thank you all

[ember gate]

Should I buy the xiaomi inkpalm 5

[quaint raptor]

Are electric toothbrushes better than regular ones? I'm looking to buy one, if u can pls recommend me links to some cheap and quality ones

[young umbra]

yes, significantly. https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricToothbrush/comments/u5omvo/best_cheap_electric_toothbrush/

[naive nimbus]

idk mine broke quickly

[quaint raptor]

I c

[naive nimbus]

seeing my peers graduate already while i haven't yet and it is kinda making me feel like a snail idk

[young umbra]

dont think too much about it friend, you might learn more things in the process for the long run, everyone has their own pace, i used to feel i should be a millionaire by now, but hey, life keeps giving me lessons, and im glad i stayed behind, im happier than ever

[naive nimbus]

thanks, you in university?

[young umbra]

yup my last year

[naive nimbus]

how difficult is compsci?

[young umbra]

its not difficult, but rather challenging, and I like it that way, gives me the ability to be more creative

[naive nimbus]

i see thanks

[trail bone]

thanx for help

^^

[young umbra]

Should I try more than my usual effort in school? I know I suck at academics , and I have done everything with studying. Sessions,breaks,friends,groups but my brain tosses out the info as soon as I'm done studying.

My last sophomore year HS I got D's and C's with the exception of an A in English (cause I like to write). I exert more energy into my passions even though 40 percent of the time it sucks but still.

I have no plans on college or anything ,except the small thought of trade school lol

[small pewter]

I think it might be woth trying some diff study technique or strateges to see if any of them work for u . like flashcards, active recall, mnemonics (a device tht helps u rmb smtg, like an acronym or a phrase that u can use to associate some info, exp : if u want to rmb the order of the planets in our system, u could use mnemonic, "My very Educated Mom Just Served Us Nachos: which stands for mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune), practice exams, summaries, mind maps, pomodoro technique.. it might be worth seeing if u can find a technique that helps u rmb more information

it can also be helpful to try and make studying interesting by adding some fun or interactve elements into ur study sessions

try to reward urself for ur hard work in studying. keep going

[young umbra]

Alright. I'll hop on when school starts lol. I wanna have straight A's for atleast a week

Thanks 🙂

[burnt oyster]

Does dopamine detox work?

And will i be more motivated for more beneficial things if i stop gaming?

[slim wigeon]

Real

[burnt oyster]

what

yes or no

[fiery vector]

Yes

[burnt oyster]

Will it make me like doing other beneficial things?

I tried it for 10-12 days

[fiery vector]

Yupp

[burnt oyster]

And just got burned out

[fiery vector]

You will feel motivated

[fiery vector]

Like what you were doing those days

[fiery vector]

Reducing gaming time and stop playing games are different things

[burnt oyster]

Chess, educational/self improvement videos, reading, talking with people on discord, playing basketball

[fiery vector]

Yeahh that's good

Atleast better than mine

[burnt oyster]

But why did i get burned out?

Some people say that dopamine detox is crap some say it's good

[fiery vector]

Happens sometimes bro just a normal thing I guess

[burnt oyster]

Who should i listen to?

[burnt oyster]

Normal thing?

[fiery vector]

Don't listen to any one just do what you are doing

[burnt oyster]

I was doing those activities

but now i'm playing videogames and watch some anime etc

but still play some basketball

also stopped playing chess and talking with people

But bruh I don't have any desire for anything

or this drive that james was talkin bout

[fiery vector]

Broo stopped playing chess and talking with people I can feel that

[fiery vector]

You will find that eventually

Are you good in studies???

Like any subject maths , science his

[burnt oyster]

I want to start to learn programming

But i can't do it

I get tired after a hour or so

[fiery vector]

Yeah that's a thing on which you wanna focus

[burnt oyster]

And if i go watch or play smth

i get hooked

And it becomes for me like a torture

[fiery vector]

Dude obviously that's a catch no one wants to do hardwork you gotta set your mind for that

[burnt oyster]

h o w

[fiery vector]

No one wanna do hardwork

Listen

You tryna learn new skill right

??

[burnt oyster]

sort of

[fiery vector]

Exactly I had felt that thing when I was learning editing

Learning something is same like studying ones you will find it interesting but after sometime you will feel exhausted you don't wanna do that thing again that's where you gotta be disciplined like you want to learn programming seat a goal you will try to do it for atleast 1 hour a day

Nothing is going to motivate at that stage you just gotta do some hard work . Your brain don't want to do that but it's a good thing for you .

[burnt oyster]

Alr

btw

about the goal setting and doing work

like pomodoros

Can you tell me about that

-Goals

-How much to study or how

[tranquil wagon]

Couldn't find command 'much to study or how'

[fiery vector]

Emmmmmmmmm

[burnt oyster]

?

[fiery vector]

Just an hour will be enough I would say

Bro English ain't my native language but I will try to explain it to you

Take example of programming

What you gonna do is set that you will learn python for 1 hour daily no matter what if it's not 1 hr it will 45 min 30 min those 30-40min will productive for you

You gotta set time for something high as much as possible

Like I used to do think that today I will complete 2-3 ex but at the end I knew I can't do that but was able finish 1 ex daily without feeling exhausted 😶

[burnt oyster]

Ok what about the rest and other free time?

[fiery vector]

In free do what you like to do what I do is scroll through yt,games and that's it

Don't worry that much bro chill

[burnt oyster]

So it's still fine to play video games if i use them to rest

And dopamine detox is not that much required

?

[fiery vector]

Obviously bro you also gotta enjoy your life

[fiery vector]

Man how should I explain this to you 😶😶😶😶😶

[fiery vector]

You will be getting dopamine and detox from all the stuff you will do

Like studying , learning programming doing this you will feel some sort of achievement and that's what will motivate you further

Dude dopamine releases when you feel short time of happiness/relief ex like watching adult videos and detox is opposite of that is will release when you feel some sort of achievement 😄

[small pewter]

if you're thinking of dialing back on gaming, i think it can def have a positive effect. since gaming can pump up your dopamine levels, and stepping away can help reset that balance. Will it make you automatically super motivated for beneficial stuff? it can help. But motivation's its kinda complex. it needs a mix of factors like purpose, goals, and habits. So yeah, taking a detox can give your brain some time to reset, and cutting back on gaming can open up more space for other cool stuff. But remember, it's not a one sieze fit all solution, it's part of a bigger picture

[naive nimbus]

Been wanting to do that for a while but my schedule is tight 😢

[fiery vector]

Exactly 💯

[neon falcon]

If anyone has a Boox E-ink reader lemme know I need some help

[fossil pebble]

do you guys have any piece of advice on how to stay motivated all year long ? I always end up having periods of time where I fed up of working and then I have to work even more to to make up for lost time

[oak valve]

Anyone know any fully-paid Ph.D scholarships are or will open registration?

[fiery vector]

As much as I know you can't stay motivated for whole year

You just gotta go against the will of your mind to do that thing

[trail bone]

k

[ember gate]

Does anyone own a Inkpalm 5

[young umbra]

motivation is probably not the thing you want to preserve, its very uncertain and you want something more stable to hold on to, and this is probably cheesy to a lot of people, but my current goal is to be the person that the child version of me would look up to, and it has been a huge boost in my productivity and im still happy doing it, sure my room is a bit messy and some dishes are unwashed, but i feel this drive inside of me everyday, this urgency that's always present and pushing you

and btw, is anyone here currently living in oxford independently? i have plans of continuing my studies there and it would be very helpful to have an accurate estimation of the living cost there, thanks in advance

[young umbra]

Do you guys do anything when you're bummed about going to school? Or do I just accept fate and try to be positive while in a sour mood?

[naive nimbus]

i don't usually try to be positive , i go to school but wanting to go home quick

[oak cedar]

I accept fate and try to find something shiny in the dirt

Meaning I look for what I can learn and what it means, where it's used, how is it useful... etc

[fiery vector]

Same

[meager rock]

is there any accounts help

[trail bone]

o

[young umbra]

The shiny in the dirt is a "congratulations" and a paper that's basically "congratulations on your 4 years of doing worksheets ,now go get a job and pay taxes"

[hardy oxide]

does anyone have experience writing quality personal statements?

[terse locust]

hii
I got a lot of trouble focusing
I keep overthinking about past events in my brain while working and that's taking me off from study
I have to solve this problem and focus on my work and be at present moment
can anyone help me with this

[young umbra]

Figure out about what you keep thinking about first and leave all those things or maybe social media that reminds you about your past events

[grand ember]

Make a Deep focus notebook
During a study session, I just write down whatever thought other than study comes to my mind and feel it like Literally throwing it out of my brain and trapping it in the nb like how people in Yoga imagine breathing out body Troubles if that makes sense to you
like after youve written the troubling thought, just say this to yourself in your head "now that ive locked that thought away, my brain is again empty, i can put it fully towards a new task now ie to my studies"
Thisll might take like a week to show improvements tho, good luckkkkk

[oak cedar]

Mindfulness Meditation helps to notice when you're getting distracted, and then once you know then you can also get back to doing what's in front of you.

Like when you're thinking a lot and when you notice it, then you can start to listen to the sounds around you or feel the physical sensations on your body like feeling your feet on the ground, your back against the chair etc. You can get back to the present moment and let go of thinking like this, and then.. remember that you came here to study and gently get back to it.
Btw try not to judge yourself for thinking, because judging is thinking too.. so just quietly and gently get back to it

[small pewter]

First off, set smaller, achievable goals. And mix things up like routine can give u some motivation maybe. Try new methods, break tasks into little things, or explore different angles. and also embrace the power of breaks.dont get burnout so give yourself some downtime. Also, find your "why" , connecting tasks to bigger goals fuels motivation. Lastly, remember it's okay to have those off days. They happen to everyone. The key is bouncing back, don't beat yourself up. It's a marathon, not a sprint. And when you look back and see how far you've come, that's a motivation boost right there.

[small pewter]

LMAO i get ur feeling, i believe we've all been there. Some days, school feels like a drag, but remember, it's not forever. try to remind yourself why you're there, what you're aiming for, and the things you're learning. Second,plan something to look forward to after school, like meeting a friend? and it's okay if u feel moody abt going to school. as i said, we all have those days. But sometimes, once you're in the groove of things, your mood might lighten up. So try 2 embrace the positive vibes where you can, and give yourself some credit for showing up and doing your thing. You got this.

[small pewter]

Dealing with overthinking and struggling to focus is like a universal challenge. i do too. So you're definitely not alone. maybe u can try to cut yourself some slack, since we all have moments where our minds go on their own. To get that focus back, try this to set a designated "worry time." If a past event pops up, tell your brain, "Alright, I'll think about this later during worry time." Then, refocus on what you're doing. Also,when those thoughts creep in, take a deep breath, acknowledge them, and gently bring your attention back to the task at hand. It's a bit like training a pet, patience and practice. And every now and then, step away, stretch, or whatever. Then come back to work with a fresh mindset.

[young umbra]

Ah kk lol. ,thanks. I started at a new school, so I'm back to being a loner but I don't mind much. I always think about what I'm going to do after I graduate. For some reason I always get surprised whenever I feel out of place but then I realized that I am different and my impeding journey to being different even though everyone is the same one way or another. I love being social but I don't really try cause I'm trying to solve a self esteem problem (going to gym soon lol) and an adult film addiction. Plus , I can't connect with people easily when they're not my own ethnicity. There's nothing I hold against others ,I'm just stupid.

[small pewter]

Hey, no need to be hard on yourself, you're not alone in feeling out of place at a new school. It's like starting a new chapter, and while it might feel a bit "loner-ish," it's totally okay. me too tbh. but embrace your uniqueness, it's what makes you. Just remember, life's full of surprises, and you're on a path to embrace that difference and become even more amazing. And hey, good job for being real about the self esteem journey and planning to hit the gym, ur awesome. and for the adult film stuff? We all have our things, and working on bettering yourself shows a ton of growth is enough
Connecting with people outside your ethnicity can be a bit hard, i get u. but it's not about being "stupid." It's just about finding common ground. As you work on your self-esteem, that confidence will naturally help you connect with others, no matter where they're from

[sacred ginkgo]

So I need help the highest grade you can get in my school is A1 and then A2 and then B1 and so on to get A1 it's 91-100% do does that mean 91+ is 4.0 Gpa and if 4.0 is 95 then I would basically need to get 34/35 or 78/80 in all subjects to get 95% is it possible to get that ,that's like 98% in all exams

[small pewter]

i think ur right? In most systems, getting an A1 (91-100%) usually corresponds to a 4.0 GPA. And if a 4.0 is around 95%, then you're looking at aiming for high 90s in your exams. Yeah, you'd need something like 34/35 or 78/80 in all your subjects to hit that 95% mark. But it's gonna take some dedicated studying and acing those exams.

[small pewter]

u can try
naturalReader. it converts text into speech. You can copy and paste your study content, and it'll read it out to you.

Balabolka: This app not only converts text to speech but also supports various file formats like DOC, PDF, and more.

Read Aloud (Chrome Extension): If you're working with web content, this Chrome extension can read text from websites aloud.

Voice Dream Reader: This app is great for eBooks and documents. It can even sync with cloud storage services like Dropbox.

[sacred ginkgo]

Any skills/methods I can use to effectively study and not get distracted

[fiery vector]

Yeah same bro

[fiery vector]

I also need some tips/skills to improve my grades

[small pewter]

i think u can try to break your study time into manageable tasks, like 25-30 minutes. It's easier to stay focused when you know there's a mini-break coming up. and also grab some snacks to keep your energy up. But don't go overboard . keep ur phone on silentmode and put it away. like the saying of out of sight, out of mind. remember to tidy up your study area too A comfy and free space can work better for your focus (at least for me)
maybe u can try to switch subjects or topics every now and then. Variety keeps things interesting and your brain engaged (if this works for u) u can aso try to do some quick walks during breaks, itcan help refresh your mind. Breathe some fresh air and come back ready agian.
if u want, u can put on some background music, but make it chill and without lyrics, you don't want a sing along distraction (happens to me all the time ) and rmb to have a clear plan for what you'll be doing in each study session. No room for wandering thoughts.
Promise yourself a treat after you've hit your study goals. It's like bribing your own brain, and it works! Visualize your success. Imagine acing that test or anything that ur workking on, It can boost motivation and focus. im not sure if these works for u but u can give it a try and lmk!

[small pewter]

first of all, try to reallllly understand what's being taught. Don't just skim the surface, dive into it. and then maybe u can try using flashcards. like for for key terms, formulas or anything.
u can also try to form a study group or maybe find a study buddy? its in #study-buddies . cuz sometimes explaining things to each other can be a game changer. Don't be shy about asking questions. If you're unsure, it's better to ask and get it right.
remember to get enough sleep too. Your brain needs rest to absorb all that stuff.
Also, during ur free time, u can practice problems, essays, whatever your subject demands. since uk practice makes progress. or u can also try to use mind maps, they are like organized doodles. They help connect ideas and make studying visual.
i also try to pretend im teaching somebody, like im literally just talking to mmyself lmao but explaining concepts to ppl helps reinforce your own understanding.
rmb to plan your study time and stick to it, dont do everything last minute!!
improving grades takes time and effort, so be patient with yourself.

[fiery vector]

brooo thanks for the tips but the part( where your pretend to teach somebody else )is so real like some time i also do that and thats so effective

[small pewter]

Right?? I do that when I study for my final exam lol

[fiery vector]

same i also do that and that thing help me a lot .on monday or tuesday i will probably get my pre mid term exams result

[hushed holly]

Hello peoplee
Hope y’all goodie
I am currently doing my Alevels
Any tips and trick for Alevels physics? I am really struggling there aghh

[coral chasm]

genuine q, how do you not feel sleepy af after a long period of study

even if i get a solid block of sleep, i begin yawning in the middle of a 4hr ish block, and lose so much concentration

[young umbra]

this is a very obvious answer, but you still need a break

sometimes working long hours does not generate the same output tho

i sometimes go take a walk for 30 mins or wash my dishes or something

[small pewter]

i believe physics is just like eveyrthing else, you get better with practice. Solve tons of problems, even if you stuggle at first. coming from one of my friend who studys physics too (not a level tho), they said try to imagine the physics scenarios as movies in your mind. It can help make abstract concepts more concrete. and also rmb the formulas. Know, understand and use them.
also regularly go back to stuff you've learned. Repetition is the key to locking it into your brain. Master the foundational concepts. They're the building blocks for the more complex stuff. remember to handle huge problems step by step. Don't let them overwhelm you. if udk how to do some ques, YouTube's a goldmine for physics explanations. Search for topics that ur struggling with. or u can just consult ur teachers or friends, ask questions, dont be embarassed! (i asked alot) and If there are labs, dive into 'em. Hands on experiments can help cement theoretical ideas.
dont forget making mistakes are part of the process. Learn from them and they'll lead you to success. Physics might feel like hard but you're totally capable of putting those pieces together

[small pewter]

real. try to split your study into shorter tasks Like, 25-30 minutes. and has breaks in between , breaks are like mini recharge sessions.
also get up and stretch ur body during breaks. Stay hydrated too. Water can work wonders for your alertness.
or u can use snacks to boost your energy. maybe some healthy snacks like nuts, fruits, or yogurt. try to switch up where you study too. i believe new surroundings can keep you more awake. have u tried the Pomodoro Technique tho? 25 minutes of study, then a 5-minute break. or If you're feeling super sleepy, take aa 15-20 minute nap. (this dont work for me but it works for my friend) also interact with your study material. Try summarizing aloud or teaching a 'pretend' student.
Remember to listen to your body sometimes, if u feel really really sleepy. maybe it's time for a quick break or a snack. You got this

[coral chasm]

genuine q, how do you not become unfocused during pomodoro breaks

[unborn path]

TBH

You gotta plan your breaks as much as you plan your sessions

So as soon as you’re done

You know how to relax

And you’re not sat there wondering about it

Also Pomodoro is trash, u wanna enter a state of flow, Pomodoro is only good if you wanna study 2 hours max a day or something

@coral chasm

A way I do to stay focused

Is that I’ll set up a time lapse of me studying

So I can’t use my phone

Since it’s recording

And at the end when u watch it back

U feel kinda proud of it

[small pewter]

use the breaks to your advantage. Stretch it out, get moving. u can also sort out emails, jot down quick notes, or grab a snack. do some deep breathing or a mini meditation. also, stay away from screens. remember, breaks are about recharging. Keep them short, set intentions, and come back focused.

[unborn path]

How do u have knowledge in like every subject lmao

[small pewter]

google is my best friend sometimes.

[unborn path]

LOL

use ChatGPT instead

[coral chasm]

I used to do that lol, but issue is I procrastinate on pc

[coral chasm]

mmmmmm shack part makes sense yeah lol

[hushed holly]

Thanks!! This makes sensee

[unborn path]

Oh I don’t use my PC for anything other than work

[coral chasm]

the issue is when i start using youtube or something like that

so far im at the mercy of my own free will

[unborn path]

loool

idk then tbf

[coral chasm]

aha its fine lol

[unborn path]

maybe theres an app that blocks certain websites

of your choose

[coral chasm]

yeah the issue is

i use that

it's really inconvenient

like sometimes i need youtube to explain some stuff

but then it's a high risk of getting lazy

[unborn path]

haha true

[coral chasm]

mm i see what you mean

[unborn path]

The guilt method 💀

Honestly when I get into a flow state of studying, I end up enjoying it

[coral chasm]

I enjoy the satisfaction of getting shit done

[unborn path]

The one who enjoys walking more than the destination, will walk forever

[coral chasm]

frankly true… but how do you enjoy it

I feel very apathetic to almost all aspects of work I do

[hot remnant]

hi does anyone have any podcast recommendations for productivity and intentional living? starting university and wanted to replace music during my commute

[hearty wedge]

There are quite a few.

Tim Ferris has a good podcast on living intentionally and some resources on how to focus your time. It offers some tools on organization based on the experiences of others in various fields. Headed by Tim Ferris, the author of "4 hour week".

Jocko Podcast is a lot about mentality and gaining a sense of leadership through owning what you do, and gives you great stories about how others solve problems both in corporate and in military settings. Headed by Jocko Willink, Navy SEAL platoon commander and veteran of the Iraq war.

Huberman Lab is my favorite. It goes into neuroscience and psychology of motivation, energy, and productivity, reviews current medical research on such topics, and offers practical solutions on learning, energy management, sleep, and even exercise. Headed by Andrew Huberman, professor of neuroscience at Stanford University.

Those are the big three that I listen to.

[unborn path]

Do it simply because it’s difficult! Doing hard things will help you grow no matter how pointless it might seem

[young umbra]

There's an extension to hide the home page of YouTube, remove clickbait thumbnails, hide the shorts and to hide the sidebar recommendations

So you can just search whatever video you wanted and don't deviate

[unborn path]

Practice loads

[coral chasm]

Understand concepts in depth. Practice will train you to see and work through common patterns, a deep understanding will let you solve nearly every problem

[fiery vector]

What really you mean by deep understanding 😶

yoo getting 35/50 is a good start. don't stress too much, you've got this. Break down the topics you're struggling with into smaller parts and settle them one by one. maths requires practice so solve as many problems as you can. When ur stuck in a question, don't hesitate to ask for help, teachers, friends, #math-help or online resources. during examination , keep an eye on the clock during the exam and manage your time wisely, don't get stuck on one question for too long(bad habit i always have) believe in yourself and remember improvement takes time

[small pewter]

oml ik midterms can feel overwhelming, and sometimes studying seems like the last thing you want to do. use those good grades as a motivation for u! (or anything else) Start small and take it one step at a time. Set up a study schedule but dont do all things at once, seperate them into managable task so it doesn't feel like this massive mountain to climb. Turn studying into a game or challenge, it can make it way more interesting. Surround yourself with a good study vibe, maybe some snacks, or a comfy space, and maybe some good tunes? imagine the satisfaction of finish that exam and getting good grades tho. It's a tough push, but remember, you're investing in your future self. You got this

Hi everyone
It will soon be my birthday and my family is asking me what do I want for my birthday. The problem is I have absolutely no idea !
But since my life right now is pretty much only me studying, do you have any piece of furniture that you are glad to have bought to help you study ?

[worn delta]

i personally love book stands, they're very helpful to avoid neck pain during long study sessions.

[hearty wedge]

Get a candle! Lighting candles in my room is the best feeling

[hidden obsidian]

A desktop book stand and reading light for sure, if you don’t already have those

[median carbon]

i never heard E2Language before, thank you for your suggestion

[hidden obsidian]

How about an extension that simplifies YouTube or an entirely third party player?

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/focused-youtube/nfghbmabdoakhobmimnjkamfdnpfammn

Found this. Clean and open source, might give it a go myself

[analog geyser]

install selfcontroll or similar app. it will block distracting sites at .host level
If you need to watch tutorial go to genmirror
works well 🙂
Other option is unhook browser extension

[small pewter]

happy early birthday! I totally get where you're coming from, sometimes it's tough to figure out what you want. if you're diving into the study life, a comfy chair with good back support is cool. since hours of sitting can be a pain in the back. maybe a desk with enough space for your stuff? or if you're into tech, a good desk lamp or even noise canceling headphones !! Think about what'll make your study time more comfortable and efficient. Enjoy your day and whatever you end up getting !

Happy birthday in advance bru

[vast moat]

hi, I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice to study considering I struggle a lot to focus (that or I hyperfocus for hours) and i'm studying biochemistry although my objective is another -Criminology- career (still on a basics where I have Cell Biology, Biophysics and Society & Polity as subjects) ?
I struggle a lot with anything related to maths because my brain just can't process numbers as easy as it is to others so Biophysics is being a pain. And I can't afford all the photocopies needed to have theory and activities stuff in hand 😦 I only got one of the books and the rest I try to use paper and pen to transcribe or work with my PC but I can't study like that at college

Usually I get back home after a long journey of classes and i'm too tired to do anything but when I try to force myself to study I can't do much for long or I gest stuck constantly with simple things, unless i'm on a deadline like- about to give finals lol

[young umbra]

where should I put my phone where I guarenteed wont pick it up and get distracted?

[prisma crow]

its an app where you set how much time you need to work

when you work it grow trees

you need to complete the timer to grow it fully and if you leave the app your tree die

so if youwant to have a good forest on the app you need to study and let your phone away

[young umbra]

ohh,that sounds cool

Does anyone know jvscholz Emacs config

[small pewter]

omg u sound like you've got a lot on your plate, and it's totally ok to feel the struggle. Focusing can be hard, but remember that you're not alone. Biochemistry might not be your ultimate goal, but it's part of the journey. For subjects like Biophysics that give you a tough time, break them into smaller parts and settle them step by step. u can also use online resources like Khan Academy, YouTube, or even study groups to get through the tougher concepts. or u can even find a study buddy to help u in #study-buddies
When math gets hard, don't hesitate to ask for help from ur friends, teachers, or even here ( the #math-help channel)
As for your energy levels after classes, it's normal to feel drained. Try setting a small, focused study session, maybe about 20 or 30 minutes? and give yourself breaks in between. It's quality over quantity.
And if deadlines give you more motivation to do shits, try to create amini deadlines for yourself. thats what i do too! As for resources, check if your college has a library, they might have the books you need.

[small pewter]

phone distraction struggle is real. try to put your phone in a different room or somewhere less accessible, like a drawer or on a high shelf? If you're using it for studying, put it on silent and flip it over so you don't see notifications, thats what i also do. Another cool idea is to use a designated study area, put your phone away from that spot to create a distraction free zone. And if you still find yourself reaching for it, try some apps that lock your phone for a set time. you'll be surprised how much more focused you can be. find what works best for you!

hey guys whats the best way to start learning french? i attand a class but the ppl in it seem to know way better than me in french n idk what to study alongside the class nor what to do

That's good!! its a great way to minimize distractions and stay focused on your tasks. Keep up the good work!

[frozen girder]

Thanks. All the best for your studies

[small pewter]

hello, don't worry about others knowing more, everyone learns at their own pace. dont compare okay/ u can begin with basic vocabulary like numbers, greetings, or everyday phrases. u should also practice speaking, even if it's with yourself or recording your voice.if u have any questions u can ask for help in the #languages-help channel. Use language apps like Duolingo or Babbel to help u too. also try reading simple French books or watching French shows with English subtitles so u can get used to the language. And don't forget, consistent practice is key. Set aside some time each day, even if it's just 5 or 20 minutes. before you know it, you'll see progress. Bonne chance!

u can try GoodNotes, it's popular and it allows you to write, type, and even annotate PDFs. Notability is another solid choice, it offers features like recording audio while taking notes. maybe u can try Microsoft OneNote too? since it's free and it syncs across devices, making it super handy. see which one suits your style the best.

Obsidian or notion? Which one you use and why???

[small pewter]

If you're into a more focused note taking experience with interconnected notes and Markdown, Obsidian's its better.. It's great for solo brainstorming and organizing thoughts, plus your data stays local. for Notion, is an all in one workspace with tons of features like databases, project management, and collaboration. It's also cloud based, user friendly, and ideal for both personal and team use. So, depends on u. for me i use Notion

[little mesa]

Joining societies was huge for me in first year, just find some socs related to your interests and just start showing up to events! If it's for something you're interested in you know that you have at least one common interest with everyone there

[barren swallow]

I take my notes on paper for studying, but I do use obsidian for anything else

[little mesa]

Same, I get too distracted by obsidian for quick or focused note-taking but it's great for in-depth planning and structured note-taking

[young umbra]

Notion for planning, obsidian for note taking, because with Obsidian you can connect anything to everything, non-lineary, just like how the brain process things

[idle rock]

@light plover

[small pewter]

Look for a model with good battery life, a comfortable keyboard, and a responsive touchscreen. Maybe u can try like the Microsoft Surface Pro series, Dell XPS 2-in-1s, and HP Spectre x360. Consider your budget, processing power, and any specific software requirements you might have

[small pewter]

Making friends in uni can be a bit hard but you've got this! First off, keep an open attitude and smile. so u can become a friendly person that people want to be friends with. Join clubs or groups related to your interests, attend events and initiate conversations by introducing yourself and asking about classes or recent happenings.
You can try study groups too, they are gold for connecting with classmates, and connect them on social media too.
Be patient, it takes time to build connections. Just be yourself, listen actively, and offer help if you're good at something. Remember, everyone is facing the same situation, so stay positive and don't worry if things don't click instantly, all things take time. Keep trying and you got this, and you'll make friends in no time.

[sick yarrow]

Hello guys. Sorry for interruption. I just want to ask that how you people study with anxietic emotions? How you guys focus? Keep going? It's totally impossible for me. When my mind is sick, it has the same effect as body sickness. I cannot fight with it. But also cannot wait that it walks it off.

[young umbra]

write it down somewhere

or openup to someone

let your mind wander off and get back to work

[young umbra]

Then you gotta analyze, see where that anxiety is coming from and put it into perspective, don't try to avoid the issue

[young umbra]

Once you put it into perspective, it's gonna be way easier to detach yourself from that emotion, and then you can start to overcome it

i'm having trouble making my desk my efficient study place as it has my pc i use for both my homework and what i used to play games on. i get distracted by having a second monitor so i leave it off during work. any tips to make an environment more conducive to studying?

my best work is done as far as possible outside and i also can't go to the library every day

my main issues with it are that it's hard to get into the zone at a place i would spend my leisure time + my home is often noisy

[young umbra]

I use Cold Turkey and block every single app/website that distract me for x hours, once you block with cold turkey it won't let you unblock, delete or nothing till the time is over

I need help understanding this english from a translation of a enscription. “They desolated its people and its land was like that which had never existed.” Is this trying to say that they destroyed their land and its people and left it like it never even existed?

[barren swallow]

i agree, you can use meditation strategies as well, but you should try to find the root of the issue

[fiery vector]

Bruhh my attendance 😭😭

[random drum]

Take a rest when you are anxious man, if studying is what makes you anxious dont study those subjects

[rough plume]

desolated can be seen as destroyed or to sadden someone, so yeah "desolated" is going with "its people" and "its land" goes with "had nerver existed" so your understanding is pretty good. They destroyed the people and left the land as if it has never existed

[ancient copper]

anyone here who does self defence?

dm me

[small pewter]

like they said, try breaking down your studying into smaller steps and setting a schedule.Also do some deep breathing and mindfulness exercises which might help calm your mind. also rmb to take short breaks and focuse on a healthy lifestyle like sleep, exercise, and good food can contribute to your overall well being. reach out to anyone that can provide valuable support. create a quiet, distraction free study environment. Be kind to yourself, progress is progress no matter how small they are, is worth celebrating. seeking help is a sign of courage, not weakness. You're not alone!

[small pewter]

try carving out a dedicated study zone if you can. leave only what you need for studying, and move away any gaming distractions. Set a clear boundaries for study time and (i heard that ) use natural light from a window can help. If noise is a bother, use noise canceling headphones or play some music. and i thnnk personal touches like motivational decor can boost your mood. Turn off that second monitor and use apps to block distracting sites.

[small pewter]

means that they not only destroyed the land's inhabitants but also caused the land itself to be in such a state that it seemed as if it had never existed or been inhabited before

[maiden olive]

@rough plume @small pewter Thanks guys

[young oriole]

interesting shi

[wide junco]

bit late maybe, but read epictetus. the encharidian is really good for learning how to detach your emotions from the things that happen. You can find a million pdfs online, find it at a book store, or youtube summaries if you don't wanna really dive into reading it. the philosophy as a whole is known as stoicism, and to really oversimplify it in one phrase: "it's not things themselves that harm us, but our perception of those things" -Epictetus

your experience may vary, but if you really try to take it in, it can drastically improve anxieties, both exaggerated and legitimate

[quartz dawn]

what are some decent e-ink readers? would also listen to music on it, really appreciate ant answers. sorry if this is the wrong channel.

[small pewter]

Firstly, like every other things, set clear goals for studying CS and stay active. Build a daily schedule that allocates time for each activity and breaks. Prioritize tasks within each activity and employ techniques like the Pomodoro method with timed study sessions and short breaks ( if that works for u). Minimize distractions, stay present, and adapt your schedule as needed. Reward yourself for achievements, and consider seeking support if ADHD poses challenges. It's a process, so be patient !

Hey guys, I'm gonna start my second year of computer science and I can choose whether to take classes in the morning or in the afternoon. In my first year I had them at the morning but I'm willing to try afternoon classes since I belive that I can study in the morning fresh and then go to class. However my friends will take morning classes so idk what to do really. Have any of you had classes in the morning and in the afternoon and what do you recommend?

[small pewter]

uhmm u can try the pomodoro style. a 25 min study and 5 min break. Or maybe you 60-90 minutes, and have a break/snack when u want to. If your focus starts fading after 20 minutes, u should take a break. find whats best for u. (i usually follow whatever yt channels i was watching (study with me videos))

[small pewter]

showe your authentic self while aligning with the company's values. stay calm, and don't overthink it. take a breath. Focus on showcasing your natural strengths while staying true to yourself. have fun with it. u can do this.

[small pewter]

Morning classes gives you more of a fresh start, but if you're a night owl, afternoons might suit you better. Since you've experienced morning classes, maybe u can try the afternoon one? maybe u can have the mornings for somestudy sessions (if u want to). it's about what fits your rhythm and study style.

[static zinc]

I'm making a japanese anki deck and using TTS but i'm wondering if it's possible to create cloze deletion cards with it??? Can anyone help?

[small pewter]

I know how stressful midterms can be. try to break those 13 chapters into small tasks, maybe like 2 chapters per day? so it's not so overwhelming. use a calendar or app to slot in each section over the days leading up to the exam, and don't forget to add in short breaks.
When you're reading , get active, take notes, highlight stuff, and ask yourself questions. Use flashcards (if it works for u) After each section, give urself a quick summary. Try some practice questions or old exams. Do some quick reviews at the end of the day keep things fresh. Test yourself without looking at your notes(i always do this ) And if you can teach a topic to someone, means u did it. Dont forget to eat well n rest well. Adjust your schedule if needed, treat yourself after u finish each day. You got this, it's just a midterm, and you're way more capable than you might think.

[crisp scaffold]

I’m a high school student starting my sophomore year in week. I’m really scared that I’m going to fall into a cycle of not finishing my homework, not studying for exams, and being extremely sleep deprived similar to last year. I really don’t want to continue this cycle. Does anyone have any advice so I don’t fall into bad habits like this?

[oak cedar]

You're not alone

I'm having this same problem

I think we have to figure out why exactly are we not working

What can we do about it

Like, I get sucked into yt and then time goes away

[crisp scaffold]

Yeah, for me I play sports all year and get really tired afterwards so I basically do nothing after coming home

So ig my sleep

[oak cedar]

One solution I got about that is stay away from stepping into a well, so that you don't fall in it

Like don't open up yt without a necessary and valid purpose

[crisp scaffold]

I might try that

[oak cedar]

I need my own advice too

And another thing I found is

Asking yourself what's stopping you from doing this

And if the answer is nothing

Then you're just being lazy

There's actually nothing in your way

So you are quite literally unstoppable

As long as you're functioning

[crisp scaffold]

Thank you so much

[oak cedar]

And you gotta prioritize yourself

And say yes to what matters

Believe in yourself

And use force when needed

There is nothing in your way

You can manage what is in your control

And you can regain your power

You have power over yourself, your thoughts, decisions, actions, beliefs...

You can control yourself in the present moment

Do what you know you should do, right now and here

There's nothing in your way

You are literally unstoppable.

try setting up a study routine. plan for homework and studying, and stick to them. If u have big project/assignment, sort it into small parts so you can do it step by step and not feel overwhelmed
u can also make a to-do list each day to keep track of what needs to be done. If udk where to start, u can look at the #to-do-lists channels and look at other ppl tasks, maybe ull know where to start. And rmb to prioritize sleep to be productive. If you're struggling with anything, don't hesitate to ask for help, ur teachers, friends,family, or even here. they're all there to support you.
its better if u use tools like apps or planners to stay organized. Remember, it's okay to take breaks, they boost your productivity! you got this!

take notes, edit documents or draw. u can also watch movies with bigger screen rather than ur phone, or play games or reading e-books (if u read books)

[vapid widget]

or Courier New

[small pewter]

u can do it. One step at a time.
It's ok to be hesitant, but you'll be glad you did it.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just try you best every step of the way.
Even if it takes a little longer than you expected, remember, patience is a virtue.

[small pewter]

i believe this is something we all go through, so ur not alone 🫂 When that happens, I usually start by reminding myself why I'm taking the test and what I hope to achieve. like set a clear goals and visualize your success. Then, break study time into a schedule, making sure to have regular breaks to avoid burnout. Also changing my study environment or studying with a friend can make it less boring. like sometimes i would choose to study at my room, other time at a library or a cafe. Maybe u can even find a study buddy to motivate u? And, don't forget to eat well n get enough sleep. it's ok to have moments of low motivation. The key is to keep going, even when it's tough.

Sorry if i offended you

[young umbra]

bro how do you study

like what do you do

[ember gate]

How would I read ebooks

[ember gate]

What works for me is trying not to mindlessly memorize the material but to deeply understand what I'm learning and how it is applied to whatever subject. Another thing that helps is creating your own test and solving them or sorting whatever I'm learning into catagories or writing it over and over.

[young umbra]

ok

overall

i have never studied and i need to get into a good school next year

Any subject you’re struggling in the most

math bro

[ember gate]

Oh yeah math is pretty hard. What helps me in math is being vulnerable and asking the teacher on how to solve a problem or staying after school for tutoring

hey all https://www.readtrellis.com/ curious your thoughts on a tool like this!

[solar elbow]

Does anyone here know if the author of the book Atomic Habits is credible and reliable enough to be used for a research paper?

[nova venture]

yeah i mean if youre talking about what he says scientifically then you prolly gotta research further

i havent read atomic habits yet so im sorry idk just guessing lol

[nimble portal]

How do i be more motivated to study my finals are in like 4 weeks but have not done any actual “real” studying

[hearty wedge]

I'd suggest looking for where he uses references to actual primary scientific researhc. Those sources would be good for a research paper. Atomic Habits alone isn't good enough because it adds commentary, conclusions, protocols, and ideas that haven't been scientifically tested and broadly accepted by the research community - they contain a lot of new logically derived yet untested ideas.

[small pewter]

Start breaking your study sessions into smaller task and set some goals for each session. Create a study schedule that includes breaks to avoid burnout. Also find a study environment that minimizes distractions. Make your study sessions more engaging by using different study techniques like summarizing, teaching the material to someone else, or making flashcards. visualize your success and remind yourself why acing those finals matters. It's tough, but you've got this

cs is good bro trust

i have the same fear of not being able to get the job tbh

It's true that is more competitive now but I guess every single company needs software

But cs is not only software

You can do cs and end up working in something like embedded FPGAs

cs opens you all the things about computers and technology

Hello

[solar elbow]

Yo so I had a question: so basically I need to get shit done. And I’m a big time procrastinator and like I just realized how much trouble I’m in when I looked at my whole life and how my current behavior isn’t gonna get me through life so how do I overcome this urge to always play games or scroll on Instagram

Also I’m like leaning to the business side and I also just realized how like creative ima have to be to like make a difference so like how can I get into like my creative zone bc no matter how much I think I’m like just coming up with stupid shit

[viscid shuttle]

lock yourself down when it comes to games and social media, i use Opal, an app that blocks selected apps on your phone better than the native screen time in the settings does

[viscid shuttle]

the key to having creative ideas is to just be bored. you can't get creative when you constantly have stimulation coming in the form of distractions like games and social media, notice how you might come up with your best ideas or think of productive things to do when you're in the shower doing nothing or trying to go to bed. people have an idea that boredom is an undesirable thing that should be avoided but you can utilize boredom to your advantage by creating boredom to induce creativity or productivity

[solar elbow]

Alr I’ll try being bored

[solar elbow]

I’ll give this a try as well

[harsh shadow]

[small pewter]

i get u,it feels like a massive decision. CS is a fantastic field with tons of opportunities, but it's okay to have some doubt!! its normal. rmb that many ppl start college with undeclared majors or switch paths as they explore. Maybe try consider talking to a career counselor or taking a few intro courses in different subjects in your first year to get a feel for what truly excites you. It's all about finding your passion and what clicks for you. Don't stress too much; you've got time to figure it out!

[small pewter]

but you've already taken the first step by recognizing it's holding you back! like all things, try to break ur task into small session and set deadlines for each. Use apps like Forest to block distractions during work time! theres a #forest-codes channel too! and maybe u can find a study buddy or an accountability partner who can keep you on track, its on #study-buddies . And most importantly, remind yourself why ur doing all this, ur long term goals and dreams. It's all about finding the right balance between work and play, and you've got this

[solar elbow]

I mean I don’t have the money to buy forest but I’ll try the study channels

Thanks

[marble echo]

Can someone guide as to how can i get my score up in my minor tests...
I am a NEET aspirant and i recently gave my 3rd minor test, last time I didn't practiced much questions and that ended up costing me, however this time I resolved that problem and solved many questions but it ended up similarly......
I wasn't able to complete my paper and left 10 ques in physics 2 ques in chem un answered......

Now it sucks as i know that i could have solved those questions as they were easy....
It seems like I cannot manage my time properly.........

Any Advise would be appreciated 😇😇😇

[loud sierra]

When you first get the test, look over the whole thing and just skim the questions to give you an overview.
Then you can calculate approximately how much time you need to spend for each question and budget accordingly.
If you get stuck on a question, don't spend a lot of time on it, just move on to the next question. Come back to it later when you've gone through all the other questions if you get the time

[marble echo]

Thanks... Really appreciate it!!

been just over a month since i started waking up at 0530 every morning, started cooking really good breakfast since last week because of the spare time that i have before class. ty for those who encouraged me :D

senior year gonna be rough tho, i have college classes to do rn and its lowkey kinda hard to do my work for the day

i just start blanking out and lose focus, not even scrolling on my phone cuz ive been using a flip phone for a while, also not scrolling on the internet either

i just lose focus

[tall sparrow]

I think they removed it, I only found the programming one 😦

[autumn reef]

ah bummer, thanks for checking, i appreciate it

[small pewter]

Like Eva said, set clear time limits for each section, prioritize questions you're confident in, and leave the tougher ones for later ( i always do this esp maths ) Regular practice, esp with full length mock tests, its importantl to get comfortable with managing your time during the actual exam. Review your mistakes, learn from them, and practice under pressure. Don't forget to stay calm during the test, and if you're stuck on a question, use the process of elimination. You've got this🕒

[small pewter]

maybe try Amazon? or Chegg, which offers textbook rentals, eTextbooks, and used books at affordable prices. u can also use BookFinder, it allows you to compare prices from multiple online bookstores, including AbeBooks and Amazon, to find the cheapest option for your textbooks. If you're open to buying used books, ThriftBooks has a wide selection of affordable used textbooks, often with free shipping.

[small pewter]

good job for establishing that early morning routine and making yourself some good breakfasts When you start to blank out and lose focus, take short breaks, then get back on track. also set a time limit for each study session of urs. rmb to get rid of ur phone for minimal distractions. You're on the right track, and with a bit of persistence, you'll handle ur senior year well

hiii I just ended my very toxic relationship with my girlfriend. I am just fine and happy now but I don't know what will I do so that I open every advice and etc. And also I am first year med student someone can give advice about everything :))

[small pewter]

when it comes to what a girl expects from her dream guy, it's all about a mix of qualities. First is respect, treating her right and valuing her.Then kindness, a sense of humor, and good communication are also key. girls like guys who can make them laugh sometimes. also empathy, ambition, and loyalty go a long way. Oh, and having goals and being a bit independent shows you've got your own thing going on！ Compatibility, patience, and understanding when things get tricky are a bonus too. But rmb nobody's perfect, and it's more about finding someone who clicks with you and shares the journey. you'll attract someone who appreciates all the stuff you bring to the table

[small pewter]

hi good job for getting out of that toxic relationship and finding your happiness again, that takes strength., u did well As for what's next, this is your chance to rediscover yourself and explore new things. Take time for some self care, hang out with friends, pursue ur hobbies, and just enjoy the freedom. And for the med part, rmb to stay organized, manage your time well, and don't hesitate to reach out when you need help. You've got this

sitting up straight

not lying in the chair

Should I start coffe

Im 16

[oak cedar]

i also recently started taking it, and i just turned 17

[wispy arrow]

Idk when is it’s not harmful to brain growth anymore though

[oak cedar]

i mean keep yourself in an active position

sheesh i didnt know this

[wispy arrow]

It gets you addicted and you can’t live without it

As soon as I get stuck on one I fall asleep

It’s like automatic

[oak cedar]

kinda like this

but still if anyone has something to say, please do

because i can be dumb at times

Damn lol

I would just recommend exercising regularly, drinking lots of water and fixing your diet to increase your overall energy levels. If you're feeling exceptionally tired, wash your face/take a shower, make your room brighter and put your feet above your heart. Also, snacks. Carbs and fruits work well for a 10-15min break :)

Regarding coffee, it's not a drug or powerful energy drink. It won't get you addicted if you don't abuse it. One cup of coffee in the morning is just fine. Avoid it in the afternoon. I, personally, make a long expresso (in a thermal bottle) and drink it slowly as my morning goes by. It works super well for me

[true cedar]

[swift pendant]

starting my uni in 2 weeks, anyone got any tips on how to stay up to date on studies?

like in highschool we had tests and such so we had to learn but uni weve only got exams, any tips for staying up to daate w my classes?

[small pewter]

it might take a bit of effort and some gradual adjustments. u can start by setting a specific goals and limits for yourself, like allocating specific hours for work/study and leisure. Break the habit by finding activities you enjoy offline, like exercising, reading, ur hobby or just walk around. Also, consider using screen time tracking apps to monitor your usage and remind you to take breaks.

[fading burrow]

General advice:

• Use your calendar and practice time blocking: tracking important dates (exams) and having reminders of those dates is really useful for determining your current progress and adjusting your efforts if necessary. time blocking allows you to see which activities are priorities and then adjust your other commitments around those. having set times (with some flexibility) for specific activites also decreases the resistance against starting said tasks, and decreases the willpower (finite resource) you deplete from task switching

Academic advice:

• Effective study techniques: if you haven't started looking at different study strategies and their effectiveness (science-based) in terms of long-term retention of information, that's a good place to start. it will minimise the time spent at the desk and allow you to develop more comprehensive understanding of topics so you can contextualise and apply your knowledge at a higher level. I'd recommend the book 'Make It Stick' since it touches on just that

• Engaging with content: try to make it work for you, and understand how the course is delivering information and how you can better learn. e.g lectures are a very passive way of learning but you can pre-read, set questions for yourself, ask the lecturer questions and link topics to syllabus points

• Reflection: use a review system to track your progress and efforts, since focusing on an end goal (e.g test results) doesn't provide feedback until after, and you can't adjust your behaviours during preparation if that is your sole benchmark. track hours, log productiveness, energy levels and behaviours before and after (e.g exercise before makes* me feel energised and focused*)

[small pewter]

remember to eat regular meals and snacks to maintain ur blood sugar levels! also stay hydrated drink water. Try to incorporating short walks or stretches into your day to keep your body moving and awake. if ur tired, u can take a 15-20 minute nap to make u feel more energized (this doesnt work for me but it works for ppl around me, so it depends on what words best for u!) remember to get a good night sleep too, dont sleep too late.

[swift pendant]

tysm

[swift pendant]

[small pewter]

turn off notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and create a focused workspace. Prioritize and break ur tasks into smaller sections. Find your peak productivity times and schedule your most important work during those periods (for me is night time) A change of scenery or a quick walk can work too.

[small pewter]

Consider using techniques like the Pomodoro method. work for a set time, then take a short break. rmb it's okay to daydream a bit, be patient with yourself

[small pewter]

Start by creating a condensed study guide with key concepts, formulas, and definitions. Then, break your time into focused study blocks with short breaks in between like 25 minutes of studying, 5 minutes of break. test yourself on the material as you go (i always do this) u can also use memory aids like mnemonics ( a techniques that help you remember information more easily by using patterns, associations, or simple tricks.) or acronyms for complex terms ( For exp, "NASA" is an acronym for the "National Aeronautics and Space Administration.")
u can also teach the material to an imaginary friend, explaining it out loud really helps solidify your understanding. And don't forget a good night's sleep before the exam. stay calm, you've got this.

[small pewter]

get organized with a planner or digital calendar to keep track of important dates and assignments. Take notes, and don't hesitate to ask questions if you're unclear about something. Form study groups or find a #study-buddies , it can help you stay accountable and gain different perspectives. Break your study sessions into small section.

[oak cedar]

Thanks very much 👍🏾

[oak cedar]

@wispy arrow you can check this too

[young umbra]

does anyone have any good ways or techniques to remember a lot of information for a good amount of time ?

[tired badge]

active recall
"It's a fancy way of saying that first you need to understand and learn the following and after some days, you come back and check if you got the answers correct"
It works like magic cuz not only does it helps you remember better, it fills up the gaps you had when you first started learning it cuz you don't usually understand every content at the first go

[tired badge]

As someone who tried pomodoro, I'd honestly advise them not to do it. The 5 minutes break is very distracting and when you achieve a certain flow or zone, the break time will destroy it. My greatest advise would be to study in the morning for 2 hours straight. Your mental energy is very high in the morning so it's the best. Doing in at a later time will be bad cuz your mental battery is already low by then. Before studying, make sure to do your morning rituals like washroom hygiene, coffee.

[slow bronze]

Is there anyone who can help with Automation in CS?

[tired badge]

Report it to mods

[cobalt sandal]

if you are doing everything right like getting sunlight first thing in the morning, eating enough and healthy, drinking water, physical exercise, figuring out the amount of sleep that your body needs (everyone is different) and taking ample breaks and mind resets and it's still not working then it may be a medical condition or unrealistic expectations of how a human body should work

humans have fluctuating cycles of productiveness throughout the month and day and it is even more pronounced if you menstruate

[oak cedar]

Ok..

I'm a guy tho

[small pewter]

try active learning and spaced repetition. Take good notes during lectures, then review them within a day or two to reinforce the material. pretend you're explaining it to a friend, this usually works for me as it helps solidify the concepts. u can also use flashcards for terms, functions, and gland names, platforms like Anki are excellent for spaced repetition. remember to also study regularly in shorter, focused sessions rather than long sessions. Also, make use of visuals and diagrams, they can help simplify complex concepts

[fiery vector]

Thanks 😊

I need your suggestions ASAP I have a exam tomorrow and I have not prepared really well for it I have the whole night left so should I sleep or study the whole night what do you recommend? [i get pretty stressed the night before a exam so i would not get the best sleep }

[young umbra]

Hi

I need a help

Self sabotage is happening to me

I am not able to keep my emotions away

I'm feeling guilt for something which I haven't even done

All that is affecting my studies

My mind is finding a reason to let me down

Help me

Anyone?

[dry crystal]

Sleep is important I mean

I think not sleeping and learning less work the same than skipping sleep and learn

[young umbra]

Appreciate the advice man

[full monolith]

Dms ?
idk if mods will allow it or no

[ripe crane]

I struggle with this sometimes too. There are several strategies - write down your thoughts, set a time limit for your worrying, make a to do list that is tangible + achievable and re-direct the best you can. You'll immediately start feeling better once you start doing some actual work. Start with the 5 min rule and the momentum will carry you. Trust yourself. Be kind to yourself. Worrying is normal, just don't let it consume you.

[small pewter]

I believe all of us understand the stress of last minute exam prep💀 for me, rather than an all-nighter, I recommend getting at least a few hours of sleep. sincea well rested mind can retain information better. then the next day u can start by reviewing the most critical topics and key points first. then make use of active learning techniques like summarizing what you've studied or teaching the material to yourself. And rmb it's ok not to cover everything comprehensively, just prioritize the essential concepts. Try to get some sleep before the exam, even a couple of hours can make a difference in how well you recall information during the test. Good luck!!

[small pewter]

rmb that ur mind can sometimes play tricks on u, and unfounded guilt is more common than you might think🫂 try to acknowledge that these feelings are not based on reality, you haven't done anything wrong. Take some deep breaths and focus on the present moment. When studying, break your tasks into smaller sessions. If these emotions become overwhelming, consider talking to someone, it could be ur friend, here, counsellor or ur family. it can help support in managing your emotions and helping you focus on your studies. You don't have to go through this alone, and seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

[small pewter]

try engaging with the material actively, like summarizing in your own words or teaching it to someone else. u can also use mnemonics . frequently test yourself without peeking at notes, and teach what you've learned to reinforce your understanding. Break up study sessions, stay organized, and get good sleep. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and minimizing distractions.

Not possible for me, i come back home from school at 2pm and i have to study in the afternoon

[young umbra]

If you want higher then go to lectures and note down anything extra stuff that ur proff mentions (that wasn’t mentioned in the videos)

[bleak surge]

hey guys, do you have dedication and acknowledgement in your thesis? can i have a look?

[elfin bloom]

Can you guys share your sleeping schedule advices like how you make it more effective, as I've noticed if I don't get regular 8hrs sleep I really can't focus much as compared to when I sleep for 8-9hrs(on holidays).

I get around 7hrs of sleep during class days, 11pm to 6am

[gloomy wraith]

Can someone tell me some really good revision tips cuz I've an exam tomorrow nd I'm done w learning up stuffs nd I just wanna store it so well that I'll be able to remember almost everything in the examination haul

[honest sky]

sleep >>> study. if you're tired you won't study effectively and you'll waste time trying to focus on the textbook. good sleep will lead to easier study sessions and more productivity

[strong grove]

How do I turn off leave and join sound for discord VC on android?

[elder kettle]

Could someone please share what work timers they tend to use on Forest? I see a mixture of timers that are 50 mins, 60 mins, and even 120 mins long in the forest codes chat. I’m trying to focus but don’t know where to start.

Also, what settings do you suggest for Forest? Not sure which timer settings most people use in this Discord

[solar elbow]

Pretty petty question but I have to volunteer at concessions for NHs hours and I did this once last year but this time they want us to get a food handlers certificate and I feel like i don’t need that certificate cuz I did just fine without it but the certi is a must so should I just skip through it(I found the answers online lol) bc I also have a small analysis project due tmrw first thing in the morning?

[honest sky]

at the bare minimum know temps for food reheating and how long food can be out. then skip that shit and use common sense

[young umbra]

getting the certificate is pretty easy lol, but thats a lil weird lol

[elder kettle]

Did anyone see my previous message?

[sterile rivet]

Saw it but it totally depends on your own capacity if you are able to focus for 1 hour then only go for 60 minutes .....I used to do 50 mins+ 10 mins break on repeat

[hollow moss]

Hey!
I want to improve my english so i need a friend to pratice the english. Can you help me

[terse locust]

hii
does anyone know from where I can apply for an online free course of mathematics or learn the mathematics for CS?

[small pewter]

Don't cram everything in one go. Your brain needs time to absorb the information. So study for a bit, then take a 5-10 minute break. Stretch, get a snack, or just walk around. also use active recall. Don't just passively read your notes or books. Try to explain the concepts out loud or teach them to an imaginary friend. It might sound crazy, but it really helps solidify your understanding. u shouold also condense your notes. Write down the main points or make flashcards with key terms. This forces you to summarize and remember the essentials. u can also practice with past exams or quiz yourself. It's like a rehearsal for the big show. You'll identify weak spots and work on them. Create mind maps, diagrams, or flowcharts to represent complex information. And most importantly, get a good night's sleep. Your brain consolidates memories during sleep. you've got this! Stay calm, trust your preparation

[small pewter]

it's not just about what you think you know, it's about ethics and legality. doing it might teach you something new about food safety. as tempting as it is to take the easy route, it's probably best to go ahead and get that certificate.

[loud sierra]

It's about preventing others from getting sick too right? Allergen handling, glove use and hygiene, etc...
The right thing to do is to get the certificate

[young umbra]

Started school on Monday, today is Friday, I was excited, I'm not anymore and I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to keep myself motivated and keep seeing the bright side cuz I used to and I don't want to fall off that path

[solar elbow]

I mean yeah but I’ve done it all before and without the certificate and I have to volunteer in like 6 hours and I finished my other hw but I only have like maybe one and half hour to actually focus in the course so I’ll see if I can rightly get it but otherwise ima just skip to the test part and yeah….

Literally the stupidest thing they could do tho

They never required it last year and people were just fine

[elder kettle]

Thanks, Stefan!

[sterile rivet]

Np

[ruby rivet]

not sure if this is what ur looking for but harvard's CS50 intro course is free

[young umbra]

hey

[bleak surge]

help me answer this question

[drowsy hawk]

first you need to search for the precise definitions of the words "information", "data", and "knowledge", only then you can choose which is which ^^

[bleak surge]

It's done. Thank you

[bleak surge]

does anyone have an existing website that I could use the code on and edit some of it to my preferred details? It'll be of much help. Thank you!

[obsidian shell]

could anyone with experience tell me if a crt monitor is worth it? I dont know if the monitor would be that great for working but their cheap nowadays

[bleak surge]

Hi. I need some help. I already have a DFD LEVEL 1. I need some help to check if what's lacking or what's need to be done. I can give you the file of what I made.

[tacit viper]

bro tryna start his own rugpull

[normal crag]

some kid with no knowledge of financial world and wasting there lifes doing nothing thinks everything is rugpull

i can feel the pain of not having something called as IQ

i hope you get well soon

[cobalt sandal]

The technology behind crypto is cool but the community has ruined it. It is understandable for anyone to be suspicious given the multitude of horror stories and especially when you are market testing in such a weird way

I hope your frontal lobe develops

[normal crag]

did i claim that i made a product already?

[normal crag]

umm i have 4000 survey results by one on one communication , so i think ik what am i doing

believing in already present sources of data and getting your own set of data has a difference

[normal crag]

sure , i think you have many companies and experience based on those companies you built , thanks for the advice mam

[cobalt sandal]

Did I say that you did? I mentioned market testing

You getting so hostile about this is 😬

[normal crag]

ultimately i havent forced anyone to fill the form , so such alligations effect my reputation as an individual in the server

[cobalt sandal]

You’re doing that all on your own bud

[normal crag]

ok lets see what happens in the future bud

btw this survey is verified by the server mods

[stark skiff]

Hey, we accepted the survey to help their study about it. Please be kind to each other 👍🏽

[tacit viper]

lol. you are doing market research for a crypto startup - on a discord server for students - no one is going to take you seriously. if you wanted to get legitimate answers you could at least pretend you needed help on a project

[tacit viper]

perhaps open with that next time

[young umbra]

hey

does anyone here own a nothing phone 1 ?

[honest sky]

there's a lot wrong with the crypto bros survey lol but best of luck and don't pull an FTX!!

[young umbra]

why you planning on buying that? on a budget?

[sullen flame]

Does anybody know how to ACTUALLY recover from a breakup

[young umbra]

find new hobbies and try to socialize more

[sullen flame]

I am writing dairy nowadays but i don't go out because of my strict family

[tacit viper]

double down on ur interests, explore stuff you couldnt in the relationship because you have more free time now

[echo viper]

Time will heal.. I didnt believe that too but seriously if u focus on yourself and care yourself more, time can help to heal

[oak cedar]

guys i have to work but i keep getting sleepy and i keep losing focus

but i did wake up at 2 am with 5 hours of sleep

so that i could study more

and um

[oak cedar]

that didn't happen

i think i should just sleep for now

man i'm fkd

i have a serious problem with keeping consistent focus

i aim to be superman, but at the end nothing gets done because i was absent minded the whole time

this pattern has been going on for years

and it doesn't feel good to be a loser

i sit down without distractions in a quiet place

but my mind is in a wonderland

i keep coming back to work and i drift away again.. and again

repeat until the last minute

and then everything explodes

the only time i actually got stuff done and did my job right was when i was suffering really hard and i got desperate

but that only happened when i experienced a really big loss

and i very hardly passed in 3 subjects in which i was certain that i was gonna fail

I don't want to repeat the same mistakes and the same BS again

well, i guess the solution would be mindfulness meditation and sleeping properly and avoiding the screens and other unnecessary activities to keep my mind busy with

and to fix my priorities and to realize that work is the path that leads to my goals

Work is also the antidote to my suffering

because most, if not all of my suffering is related to work performance

"Am i doing a good job?" is an important question for me to ask myself

"Do your job without complaining"
"If it's endurable then endure it, stop complaining"
"Ask yourself 'Why can't i endure this?', you'll be ashamed by the answer."
-Marcus Aurelius

I'm sorry, i keep talking and then i answer myself as well.. as if i'm journaling in chat

but it's just how i deal with things

you can tell me to shut up, and i will then..

i'm sorry..

[restive aurora]

I have a similar problem kinda

like I want to do incredibly good

but sometimes i just kind of let stuff go because I would rather enjoy relaxing more than putting in work that may or may not really matter in the future

[oak cedar]

yes and this is a problem

and the suffering is real

and i have been to the extreme before

and this is history repeating itself

i had this whole thing the last year

and i don't want it again

i was depressed and almost suicidal

i hated myself for existing

i don't want that again

"Either you change, or everything repeats itself"

[worn delta]

man, it's kinda difficult to give you some advice, but it's obvious that your mindset is destroying your mental health. i don't know what things in life have brought you to that point, if it's something out of you, you might need professional help, however, know that there's nothing in life that worth punishing yourself like that.

[limpid salmon]

I'm a high school student aiming to be in medical stream cause idk what to do but the thing is I'm not really advocated to it, some days I study hard and the others i just lurk around not knowing what to do endlessly scrolling on internet or sleeping
Results dropping score then again getting disappointed and all and starting anew but this isn't going to help me i know and I realise that but it's just this vicious cycle
Its not even like I'm completely a lost cause because scores are not super bad they're just not up to my expectations but here i am still wondering what to do rather than studying

I just don't know why medical and neither do I know what else would i do.....

[pearl crystal]

I don't know if i should ask here but whatever

How did James have 12 hours a day of "free" time when he was in College, i mean shouldn't he go to the classes or something?

[pearl crystal]

i just realised, it was during covid wasn't it? -,-

[tropic fox]

Making the habit of scheduling every night for the next day would help

And check which apps are most distracting and try to stop using those

I am a med student as well

Had the very same problem

Once you start studying you'll realise it's not even that big of a task

Your main focus for now should be consistency

Don't think about how many hours etc

[safe lintel]

Yep also 12H study sessions are going to set you up for failure study effectively and take short naps when bord and make it enjoyable to you.

[safe lintel]

GRIzz trying to start a crypto Scam and don't know how to code 🤣 get good kid

[safe lintel]

Let me just do the same shit with chat GPT generating all of them for me 🤣

[safe lintel]

IQ is a illogical Measurement of intelligence 🤣 my man it made to test little kids intelligence it nothing special it not even a real test

So it was fake then 🤣

My man wants to be the next sam bakeman freed

Lol I can read you like a book

I was at work how about you work a job instead of trying to run a crypto Scam.
Bro go learn coding so you can at least do it yourself.

So you are a kid ok. Watch the video a about Sam bankman freed before proceeding and letting you know the work force is not what you think it is and you should think of your future and study well. Make a resume and start working now it make it a lot easier to get a job in future.
