[loud sierra]

Does anyone have any tips on consistently getting out of bed in the morning? Especially if you have low appetite and the thought of breakfast doesn't help😅

[young umbra]

U could use app called alarmy

U do set up alarm but u should do something to turn it off
Like solving a math problem or shaking ur phone multiple times
And u could took a photo of something as a proof u woke up so ig this will help u

And ig also sleeping 7 hours and early will help alot too , and having a goal to do when u wake up , any goal but make it a goal u want to do in morning only

[young umbra]

This isn't study-related, but I wanted to know if anyone here had their wisdom tooth removed and how long it took for you to recover.

I have my operation this Friday. Luckily, I only have one wisdom tooth in my whole mouth, but I am anxious about how long the recovery process is.

[waxen jackal]

How to self learn?
I've been struggling with that since years
My problems are:

• finding sources
• finding enough/harder practice problems
• making a plan or a roadmap for myself and have a clear idea of what to learn next TT , there are tons of stuff I don't know and it gets confusing on where to start and how to continue

Can anyone give me advices about how to fix those problems I mentioned ?

[sonic pilot]

hmmmmmmmm

[stray yarrow]

Okay let's start off now
First of all
HAVE A GOAL IN MIND
When you know what you really want you can search up roadmaps for it
Many of the roadmaps are pretty straightforward but but
Find one which fits your schedule...and if you have time go thru some roadmaps and make one that suits your schedule!!

Now that you have made a roadmap

Time to find resources
You can always lookup for stackexchanges or come and ask here for any resources of any topic you want
I would suggest ask it here or on reddit
If u have particular subject start off slow (don't buy everything at once,start from basic and make your way to the harder ones)
And trust and self belief is important

Now that you have your resources

Time for questions
Again I would say look up for stack exchanges
And if u want harder questions search up for hard questions ( topic insert )
This has helped me 😭
They ll prolly show u like top 15 hardest questions and stuff
And in their videos too they ll mention resources which you can use for topics and questions

Now that you've finished everything

Make ur mom and dad proud

[opaque nacelle]

I need some advice or help, (I don't know...)

I applied for Computer Engineering. And I wanted to know if there are someone who studied Computer Engineering and would recommend me that this Major has Merit, and I mean a lot of Merit, I because I'm afraid that I've chosen the wrong Major...

[lyric glen]

can anyone guide me as to how to update rooted nothing phone

[plain rapids]

Y'all. How do you come back from a long day in the lab and find the energy to come back home, cook, clean, and do further reading/work? I'm feeling completely drained, I haven't had time to use the gym and am getting like 6 hours of sleep. I feel undisciplined as I cannot will myself to focus

[light pawn]

hi

[stray yarrow]

Zirconium 😳

[light pawn]

yes

u know

[stray yarrow]

We frens

[young umbra]

For the gym thing i recommend either u go to the gym before work
Or u take the gym bag with u when u go to work
So u dont have to go back to home (bec probably if u went back to ur apartment u wont go to gym)

For the cooking
Ig u could cook one time like just come back from work and cook
different meals that would let u not cook for several days ( like just put them in fridge and just put them in microwave)

For the cleaning thing
It depends on u tbh
I hate cleaning everyday☠️
So i just start cleaning when i feel its messy
So u just could clean once a week or something

& dont feel undisciplined bro
Ofc u would feel drained after coming back from work
And thinking u could cook/clean/go to the gym/read or work
Is just kinda impossible
U cant do them all in same day

So do the cooking/cleaning in one day so u could save time for other things

Hope it helps

[floral copper]

does anyone use notion

[young umbra]

I get what you're saying. It’s really frustrating to see the education system like this, but I think there are still people who care about genuine learning and developing themselves with great goals.I think a lot of teachers affect our thinking about learning.

From my experience, I didn’t meet many teachers who value the courses they teach. Yes, they explain the material, but they don’t seem to care if we understand it or get the most benefit from it. They focus on marks, and they don’t care that most students are either studying to get the best grades or just to pass. They ignore the most important thing, which is getting real value from the course.

But sadly we cant do anything abt it
Changing the education system for better needs alot of work and changing the way of teaching , and directing the student to be getting a value from the courses

[safe lintel]

You'd have to reassess the grading system the problem is how scoring is done.
Think of it like a game people will fallow the meta to get through without understanding the grander scope of the systems or mechanics behind the game play. If your playing on easy you will never improve past a point well if you play on the hardest difficulty you need to increase your understanding to win.

For instance if scores were determined based on set parameters instead of a teachers input it would work more consistently and efficient.
The other problem is students have no clear path on how to get from point A to B. Not understanding what knowledge your missing is a huge flaw in the system.

The other problem is lack of consistent real challenge and reason to understand the mechanics of the game.
Why maximize your potential when you'll still one shot everything.
Why care about armor scaling when the enemys only do really low damage.
Without real and consistent challenges you'll lose your reason. As for too difficult and lacking the abiltys needs will case Anxiety and make you want to give up before you even started.
So many people have great potential but lack the reason to train it.

[fallen fjord]

Heyya anyone online?

I need serious help buddies

[young umbra]

Abt what

[fallen fjord]

Yes so i have exam tomorrow and i procrastinated for 5 hours. Im kinda demotivated rn. What to do. How to fill the gap i wasted on YouTube. Bro thats pathetic 😞

[safe lintel]

why do you feel demotivated? Is it because it's boring not interesting is it not challenging enough or do you think it's too late to do anything about it?

[fallen fjord]

I think its too late to start

😭

[young umbra]

U have already wasted enough time
Wasting another time in being demotivated will just be a waste of time

Yes feeling demotivated is normal
But not the time to feel it now.
Just start
Do ur best in the time left for u

[fallen fjord]

This is my first time asking help here😭

[safe lintel]

It's all good it's a start

[fallen fjord]

Okay i think i just need to start for now

And do yall think watching videos about productivity, helps or bad habit?

[young umbra]

Keep it up bro
U can do it
Dont think of the wasted time
And dont think negatively till the exam

[safe lintel]

No

[young umbra]

Helps ofc
But u have to apply em

[fallen fjord]

And my handwriting speed also very slow. Countless time I didn't answer while knowing just because of speed. Any help for that?

[safe lintel]

I got a better solution next time your in class remember everyone in that room is your competitor. you all will graduate at the same time applying for the same jobs and go for the same position if you can't stand out then you sink in.

[fallen fjord]

I gotta stand out, yes. I think i have to be unstoppable to accomplish this

Thanks. you guys made me think a lot

I gotta be determined so much to the point it becomes insanity. I will just squeeze every ounce of my potential in studies like when im having launch i will review my notes. No video game, masturbation or YouTube contents. Just study and become the best of myself.

[dawn pecan]

literally what im tryna make my mindset like, i gotta cut off distractions and start studying insanely so i can at least do 50% better than what i have been doing but keep it up man

YOU GOT THIS SHIIT😤

[safe lintel]

Then Increase the difficulty and set a goal that's more difficult

[safe lintel]

Yeah then you need to practice your skills and understanding more.
Take a step back and reassess what you know about the subject and what you don't know.
You might be missing places to building a strong foundation.

Take the time to write in a little jernal your feelings of Anxiety and why and how come you feelthat way write it all out in full then reassess and come up with a solution that will work for you.

[safe lintel]

Putting yourself in a hard situation forces you to lernd and adapt but you have to be open minded and serious about how you move forward.

Let's say you were doing a Play through of skyrim on legendary difficulty no steath archery(no bows) ether magic or Warrior you will need to build yourself up slowly and steadily if you do what everyone else's is doing you will fail.
You need to focus building your power through crafting sharpening or enchanting knowledge is power but if you don't take the time to slowly build up your skills and gear a Mud crab will kill you in 1 shot.
It forces you to approach every encounter differently a archer and boss you didn't have any trouble with can now kill you in 1-2 hits. Raising your Armor value will make it 4 or more hits enchanting can then can increase your combat ability or survivability.
A wall is mearly a optical it's not impossible to overcome.

What you'll see is even though your a lower level and have made less progress then others your gear and abilities are far superior to others.
For instance I'm only level 41 my great sword dose 450 damage a swing and that still takes 3-4 hits to take down a enemy. Well my other level 60 just used a dagger that is unsharpend only doing 36 damage a swing but since it is normal that's all I needed to win there was no challenge there to grow from.

[autumn wigeon]

help

how do i stop being such a mess.

i watch productive videos, i enjoy studying and working

but once i start procrastinating and having too much fun

i cant seem to get back to work

[young umbra]

@autumn wigeon first of all it's okay if you're failing at least you are trying to be better in life

As you said you watch productive video get motivated by them and implement them but once you start doing procrastination it's done

See procrastination is your habit you have to build a habit where you don't procrastinate

To build a habit try 21 days challenge in these 21 days you will do very productive things which need to be done and in case you fail start it again this will slowly get in your habit

Like getting up in the morning the first thing you do is brush your teeth....we don't procrastinate here right? That's because it's a habit

And don't worry if you're trying to be better you will surely be successful...

Good luck,🍀

It is healthy to breakdown in tears while doing pushups

Not cus of pain

Btw

I just did 60, was feeling super heavy hearted but I feel better. Just wanted to ask if it’s a healthy outlet.

[rapid mantle]

Idk, but you're doing good man, many people cant do 10

[queen idol]

excercise is a good way of letting your emotions out many people have their ways like shouting or getting creative but working out is a pretty good outlet cause you can channel any type of emotion throught it and just throw it out

many people go to the gym to channel their personal pain and trauma and it acts as a motivator

[autumn wigeon]

Appreciate it bro

[autumn wigeon]

Thanks man. I was kinda worried cus this has never happened before.

[spare marsh]

Hey so I've got a couple internship interviews that seem promising~ so I'm thinking of stacking them back to back. Any suggestions on how long you would suggest interning for each?

(They are volunteer)

Anyone recognise the logo by any chance?

Off the topic girlie why are your hands so cute in pfp tho what handcream you use😭😭😭

[vital sail]

how does that work??? I tried it before, but it just seem to increase sufferings? It was my first time exercising back then, and i can kind of stop doing it now, since i didn't see how people use it as an outlet

and it kinda broke my sleeping schedule since i'm way too tired.

[stray yarrow]

Ig it's kinda expensive

[safe lintel]

Sorry for the late reply my GF phone broke yesterday

Have you ever played a game on hardcore with no load backs no response.
All actions and in actions matter that much more you need to take every decision seriously in order to succeed.
Failure is not = to losing use every missteps as a learning experience.

2. Status don't actually degrade paste a certain point no matter how much time passes if you were to pick up the skill again you'd find you'd be back to where you were within 3-4 days of practice.
   Unless you haven't consistently trained then you fluctuate more.
   You will go up and down naturally improvement is not a straight path without bumps and challenges.

[soft bone]

how do i get david goggins mindset

i tried and all that happened is now im addicted to cardio and weight lifting 💔

[safe lintel]

You keep improving by useing your failures and short comings as a springboard.
When you fail you never assess why you failed you don't see it as a opportunity to reassess your perspective.
Improvement comes form dedication and finding the missing parts of the puzzle.

Your weakness is your blund spot your paying attention to only what's in you line of sight. Especially your Tunnel Visioned on only the ball.

Take the time to look around you of potential problems and assets
Luck is not random but set.
Put yourself in the right place at the right time use your skills you've obtained to take advantage. When your unlucky think about why you were and what you didn't think about in the moment for next time

[safe lintel]

You don't need the mindset.
Just use his wisdom you don't want to be a cheep imitation.
He chose that challenges that were suitable for him to succeed.
Finding yourself and your ambitions is how you will need to focus on something hard and difficult to you.
Make sure to be safe tho properly training is important to remove injuries

For me my Dexterity and stamina was always low so for me I did endurance training and Dexterity traing.
For me I hit a Plato for my Dexterity training and couldn't figure out how to pass it I was missing peaces of the puzzle I had to figure out what I needed to change and adapt to overcome it.
For me I swiped to left-handed for everything turned out I was naturally left side dominant.

Hi everyone,I'm looking for advice on how to effectively approach my studies. If anyone here excels in their academic pursuits and has a solid study strategy, your input would be greatly appreciated.I understand that study methods can vary greatly from person to person, but I'm hoping to learn about the best approaches that have worked for others.
Specifically, I have lectures, slides, modules, books and pyqs as my study materials. I'm trying to figure out the most effective sequence and strategy to utilize these resources.In what order should I tackle these materials, and what specific steps should I take to maximize my learning and retention? Any insights or detailed strategies would be incredibly helpful.Thank you in advance for your assistance!

[young umbra]

Hi chat
So basically I'm in IGCSE and I got exams in 3 months which might seem like a lot of time and enough but I'm quite behind in studies and I can't study consistently, I study for like 8 hours or so and the rest of the days I just can't get myself to sit and study for 2 hours at least. I tried sleeping early and removing all distractions but I still don't study and find anyway for me to waste my time and avoid studying and after I fixed my sleep and starting waking up early I'd feel like I haven't slept in a week after 1 hour of studying. I really need help as I'm worrying that I won't be able to do well if I continue at this rate

[low grove]

Hi everyone,I'm a 12th grader currently studying science. Lately, I haven't felt like studying and I'm really confused about what to focus on. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

[safe lintel]

8 hours it too much reading time make it passive by listening to A a recording of the materials or B have a AI voice read it too you so you do strain your eyes.
Passive listening is a good way to learn more passively.

Learning the metal application can help make it feel more meaningful.

Bro studying for 8 hours is more than enough. Optimize what you're learning about and how to apply it.
Information is useless if it can't be applied and used.
8H×83 days =664 of studding at your center rate.
If you can't pass with that much time invented then something is wrong. (As a Rough guess I don't know the day of your test.)

[safe lintel]

If you want a suggestion to access more information at a faster rate my suggestion is to make a second youtobe chance and dedecat it only to science and learning.

Remove any entertainment music and extra this way the algorithm will only feed you informational videos about different topics

But as a personal suggestion you should look into the history of Nicola Tesla 😉
Seeings what he accomplished inspired me to learn even more about the world electricity and micanical engineering.

[young umbra]

Yeah but one of the two subjects that I will take an exam for is all about memorization so I have to keep on reading over and over again because listening doesn't really help me memorize (this subject is the reason i hate studying 💀) but thanks a lot anyways!

[safe lintel]

Can you tell me about the subject you need to memories?

[young umbra]

Environmental Management

[safe lintel]

Studying Waste management test on Quizlet: https://quizlet.com/69348985/waste-management-test-flash-cards/?x=1jqU&i=0
Studying something like this?

[young umbra]

Yeah

How about we go dm's cause I feel like we're flooding the channel

[safe lintel]

I'm not gonna lie to you Environmentalism is mostly kind of a joke when the proposed solutions are actually worse for the Environment.
For instance solorpanals actually degrads at least 1% year on year The solar panels themselves are non recyclable and go straight into the landfill well useing expensive metearlials and made with slave laber form China 🇨🇳
On top of that solar panels actually lose

[safe lintel]

Yeah sorry already typed that out 🤣

[young umbra]

Honestly I just wanna pass the exam 😭

Idrc about the subject itself

[sullen crag]

I'm in eng 102 and doing the Problem-Solution proposal project. We are supposed to be brainstorming a problem in a location specific community that I relate to and later on come up with a solution to propose. We are still in the topic brainstorming phase and I honestly have no idea what to pick, I can't think of any options.
One example they gave was "lack of safe places for long distance runners to run in downtown phoenix"

i don't even go to school in person bro what communities am I supposedly interacting with

[peak plaza]

What about your neighborhood? Your neighborhood counts as a community. Is there any slight inconvenience you think your neighborhood has? For example in my scenario there's very little street light availability for bikers at night.

I think any slight inconvenience you can think of should work as long as you think about one thing that could help it

[hallow coral]

does anyone study music here? I want to start learning music before getting any instrument and could use help

[sullen crag]

this is so difficult like I'm not that involved idk what to complain about

[safe lintel]

Ok first step should be to look at all the problems generally and then look more into each one individually form your favorite 3 then determine what solution will be most beneficial.

When evaluating you solution you need to be realistic and not idealistic or else it won't work.
Then way the pros and cons.
Example:(In canada we have a lot of wildfires each year do to the dead fall of trees that go un removed. It makes it easy for fires to get out of hand. The solution I'd suggest is to have a company harvest These Deadwood trees and make them into fire wood or planks that way you can have a self Sufficient Company insuring that the excess dead trees get used properly. removing the likelihood of wildfire spreading out of hand.
The company in poticuler will need the equipment for cutting and prossesing of the wood a dust collector trucks to hall the wood. the benefits is creating new jobs in that area for the local population.
You could also propose legislation to give a tax explanation if they meet a Certain quota.)

[safe lintel]

No offense but it's kinda a skill issue. Think of it from a top down view like a colony game

[sullen crag]

skill issue more like life experience issue I would have a lot more content to think of if I had more life experience

[safe lintel]

But don't you decide not to gain that experience by avoiding those experiences.
If it's not your decision then who's?

That's like I go into a mission or a quest I am under leveled for and complaining it too hard.

[sullen crag]

bruh I just wanted ideas of stuff I could look into

[wide briar]

guys im so insanely uncommitted to bettering myself, like i know i need to, and need to do it fast before yr 12 and i completely screw myself over but im litterally addicted to distractions and have 0 disapline and whenever someone else tries to help i completley reject it even though i know their just trying to support me lmaooooo (not really expecting advice/help on this just needed to say something to make this feel real yk? idk lol)

[hasty citrus]

i had a period of crazy laziness and boredom for around 3-4 months around two weeks ago

i messed up my marks and all this kinda stuff, but it passed somehow

and now i started studying and stoped being lazy and constantly sleeping

i think it's just a period of life you need to pass, but try ur best to stop it and start working

overall it's just my opinion, don't take it as a fact

[hasty citrus]

so yeah dw, it happens to everyone

[fluid gale]

ye its real

but youll be fine its all about routine

[distant tendon]

Just. Dew it.

Im in the same kinda situation, but for the past 4 years of my life.

All we can do is, try to better ourselves. mainly stick to atleast on schedule.

it can be baby-steps aswell or just fully radically changing your routine and life.

[winged hearth]

bro for me it helped to stop rejecting myself and waiting for the ideal things to happen
like alright, i wanted to study for the whole month and instead just played videogames, ok i wrote my exems unbelievably terrible
it's still me who need to get better and like even tho i didn't, what's the point now to just think of it and do nothing
better to do at least sth
and yea, dude above wrote right, just think of what can you help even 1%. i think you can read first just to transform ur mind for a lil bit, still better then nothing
it was interesting for me to read book atomic habits by james clear, i had a motivation after
or try smarter, faster, better by charles duhigg, i think both are great
they're based on a stories of a real people and it can be interesting for you
like small and may be even useless action is even better then doing nothing and your mood will change only if you do sth
also interesting thing for me were that if you are in a bad situation now and don't wanna do sth now, how in a world you would feel better and more energised tomorrow?

[vernal cedar]

I am not getting focused in my life. Anyone here who can help me out? 🥺

No one will help you until and unless you want to change yourself and take action .Change your mindset ,go a bit hard on your self ,or do dopamine detox and change your environment .These are some tips for motivation

[gleaming hollow]

Set a 30 day goal to make some sort of change in your daily actions.. Record how you're doing, and if you don't succeed one day, restart the counter and write out the true reason why it didn't work, and what you could do differently in case the same thing happened again.

[fervent viper]

I like to listen to Dark Ambience while doing Dopamine Detox. It just reminds me of the things I did wrong.

[nova spire]

Hey guys situation in bangladesh is getting sm worse. So far 10+ students have died thousands have been injured badly. Basically all the students are protesting to reform quota. Quota is a system in which some seats are allocated for some individual groups. Heres an example in many jobs only 30-45% of the seats are open to the public. Everyone please pray for my country the situation is getting real bad

[safe lintel]

Simple, how can you change if you do everything the same.

You can't improve if you do things that are easy to you. You have to do what challenges you to change and grow.
You won't become the best in the world if you only compete against those weaker and less experienced then you aim higher and let your ego push you to grow and be better.

[naive jewel]

I didn't mock anyone

💀

[safe lintel]

Have you asked her why she's feeling upset with you?

You should try to make some friends it is not too difficult but you should look for someone that compatible with your personality.

Have you ever considered why you only have that one friend? Is it because of your own behavior or is it because your too shy tostart conversations.
Or perhaps you have trouble getting closer with others?

I would suggest jernaling your feelings down and assessing your thoughts and feelings.
Try to understand the underlying reasons and approach form different perspectives.

[safe lintel]

Kinda creepy 😬 she's under 17 😬

Hello everyone, I am a Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Major. This coming Fall Semester, I was intending to retake a bunch of my failed courses and leave this university to go back to my home state for extenuating purposes. However, I've decided to complete my four years+. Now, I am wondering if I should still retake my failed courses or I should take entry courses to start my BMB journey?

I have already emailed my advisors but anticipate some time before they respond, but I would like to know what you think.

[novel kiln]

Hello, I'm about to go into my last year of HS and yk university decisions are coming

So I just want some opinions on studying Data Analysis and the job prospects etc

I'm already taking advance maths in school and I'm doing okay
My parents are willing to pay for math tutoring in order for me to prepare for all the uni exams

But as I am unsure, I'd like some opinions (from ppl with this degree)

[candid echo]

Are these foundational courses prerequisite for major courses or just general education? I would say, you may want to retake the courses first just to boost your GPA (if there is some replacement thing, I know that’s common for freshmen in certain universities) because if you intend on applying to internships, many care about GPA.

[crimson estuary]

Hello i sleep a lot help

[rare spade]

you're literally me

I can sleep 11 hours and wokt even realise it's a waste of time

17 hours was the record hahaha

[crimson estuary]

Today i slept very late and woke up after 8h but i felt sooo tired that i only ate lunch and i couldn't do anything so i slept even more now i have a headache i can't do anything but i gotta do some work still

[young umbra]

Ok i wilk ask her
maybe i get scared of people. i will do jernaling and write Thank u for teling.

[rare spade]

same I think you should see a doctor

I had the same problem and they gave me sleep meds which kinda regulates ur sleep

but then again see a good one cuz others will just give you six months worth sleep meds and you'll only be able to sleep if u take em

😭😭😭

mine was another case the doctor had no business prescribing 6 months worth high dose antidepressants to a minor

healthcares fucked

[crimson estuary]

Ahhh idk the thing is i don't have a prblm falling asleep

[safe lintel]

Just remember most people are jusst as nevise as you are to start a conversation

[novel kiln]

How to know if I will manage advanced maths in uni?
I'm not the typical "maths" person
People would say I'm more keen on art, literature, languages etc

But since I'm abt to go into my last year of HS I got to make a decision abt what I want to study in uni

I want something which will provide me with a secure future
And after some research I find data analysis to be quite interesting since it's a growing field, requires many skills, is rewarding etc

I'm by no means talented in maths, but I'm a straight-A student, just because I study and pay attention to all subjects
I even chose maths as my A-level

But my biggest fear is that I won't be smart enough for advanced maths in uni
What if I fucking fail and will have to switch degrees??

But on the other hand, I don't even consider studying something like literature or anything since it's just a hobby and in my country, I can't be let's say an author and earn good money that easily, whereas, maths will always be valued

So is advanced maths impossible for someone without a "maths brain"

[void mango]

Yo. Just simple question. Why are study rooms a thing?

[rare spade]

do you like maths

[versed prawn]

Struggling to stay motivated but only have today to do a lot of he's

Hws* any advice guys

[young umbra]

Ok i wil remember

[novel kiln]

I find it interesting

in a challenging way

[rapid mantle]

Some people study better this way

And if I am not mistaken your number of hours studied figure on a leaderboard somewhere, but I might be wrong

[void mango]

Ah ok. I was just wondering as for me i dont use this server. Idk why i joined. But i did and i saw there rooms i muted myself bc everyone else was muted but i was just confused as most ppl had no cam on or mic. Just there so for me idk. Felt bit pointless but again it helps so i dont judge.

[versed prawn]

Hey update, I am almost done, I guess just chatting in the discord was enough to help me power thru

[crimson estuary]

Hey, i always struggle with waking up. Even with alarmy i solve the math questions and go back to sleep, also i don't live alone so i don't want to disturb the others

[young umbra]

I had this same problem so I downloaded audio from google which was like "annoying alarm tune" and I chose a drilling machine 🗿
Ngl that helped me to wake up😭

[crimson estuary]

I wd love to install it but other ppl would be annoyed

[young umbra]

Bro let it be you know today it might be annoying and all but when your hard work pays off nobody gonna remember the annoying alarm you had

[crimson estuary]

Ow you don't know my family noise is their pet peeve

[young umbra]

My family used to beat the shet out of me cause my whole family used to wake up from the alarm except me

[crimson estuary]

I Can relate to that 😂

[young umbra]

But now that I have scored a decent number nobody remembers a shet🗣️

[young umbra]

From my personal experience do it throw that fear out of the window after a few months or years it will become your habit

[crimson estuary]

Im visiting my relatives and not gonna lie i do not dare

[young umbra]

Earlier my whole family used to wake up because of the alarm now I wake up because of the alarm without disturbing anyone

That just became my habit as time passed

[young umbra]

I see🗿

[crimson estuary]

Thanks for the generous response i ll try it out once im home

[young umbra]

Sure do it good luck 🤞

[dry gale]

hey does anyone here done circuit analysis before?

[unborn cliff]

Thank you for your advice 🖖

[waxen briar]

hello guys, is kindle a good e-reader?

[desert pine]

First things first

"I want something which will provide me with a secure future
And after some research I find data analysis to be quite interesting since it's a growing field, requires many skills, is rewarding etc"

Let me introduce you to reality: You will NOT find the study interesting just because the job that comes after it is what you are discribing.
There is not point in studying something with those reasons, you will, eventually, quit after 5-X years and do something else. Its nature.

What you SHOULD do is find a study that matches what you LIKE, not what the market likes. I see you are from Europe, so you should be good with about anything.

"I'm by no means talented in maths, but I'm a straight-A student, just because I study and pay attention to all subjects
I even chose maths as my A-level"

--> the fact you get straight A's in high school means you study well and are able to study the courses as they are meant to be studied.
Mathematics in university is a lot different then the mathematics you are seeing right now.
I'd like you to know that even if you take A-levels mathematics, you will most likely not be prepared. At university they do NOT care at all (in the case where I go), in terms of if people are able to follow or not. You should keep in mind that universities are capitalistic, they only/mostly care about people signing in. They do not care about people falling off.
My point that i am trying to make is, uni is place where people gather whom are smart AND are able to study.

Next: "But my biggest fear is that I won't be smart enough for advanced maths in uni
What if I fucking fail and will have to switch degrees??"

-->This is probably 80-90% of the people getting into a high level mathematics course in university. The only thing ill say about this is:

Are you going to jump in the water and drown? Or are you going to jump and swim so you do not drown?

Last thing:
Depending on what you do, you can look into the statistics of the "average IQ" and as we all know: "Hard work beats talent" is probably the biggest cliché there is till this day, so I will rephrase it for you:
"Hard work is nothing without talent, and talent is nothing without hard work"

I can talk about it a whole day, but there is no point in it, there is a point in the fact that some courses require "'smart" people:
Exact sciences for example.
there is a level of abstract that some people are just not able to grasp, which is because people have different IQ's.
You can study 12-14h a day trying to understand a really abstract theorem or something else, while someone else who has a very high abstract thinking process, gets it in 1-2 hours.

All in all I think you should go for it. Why be scared of the future when you havent even tried?
In the end there are 3 options:

1. Go for it and pass
2. Not go for it and regret it your whole life
3. Go for it, fail and not be disappointed in yourself for trying

The choice is yours.

hello , i have really bad p*rn addiction and scrolling youtube for hours everyday... i try grey scaling my screen to make it more un interesting.. i just turn it back on.. i try app blocker i just uninstall the blocker.. i try to put my phone in another room ei my living room cus my house is small there's no other room.. i just bring the phone into my room when it 100% battery so i kinda dont really know what to do right now.. the only thing i can think of on top of my head is maybe selling my phone but i dont really have acess to the internet other than my phone hotspot so if u guys have any suggestion please do tell me... any tips is appreciated

[desert pine]

sell yo phone

[dire badge]

like i said.. yes but i would'nt have any acess to the internet which i use to do my work..

i dont have wifi

[desert pine]

go to a library

and yet

you dont have sell it to be honest

[dire badge]

yea that's why im asking for suggestion

like i try everything that youtube reddit suggested it doesnt work on me

[desert pine]

maybe because you should work on yourself

i.e. discipline

[dire badge]

do you have any suggestion on how i could do it

oops wrong reply

[dire badge]

like how do i work on it

[desert pine]

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+work+on+my+discipline+

yt has some good vids

but what helped me was setting out a goal

there is no magical spell for it tbh

a good amount of will

[leaden path]

everytime ur doing something and ur getting tiredof it . Close ur eyes and imagine a vast lake of willpower and come up with a mantra on the lines of " i have infinite willpower so im just not gonna stop infact im going to do more than i planned" I do this for everything hard like studying , working out , work

Then personally i just hype myself up like an animal if that doesnt work.

[leaden path]

i dont mind them but youll find it kinda limiting in some aspects . Also depends on what kinda size/fit ur looking for . Ive used the kindle oasis extensively and its my favorite kindle for sure . Idk what the other one i used was called but i always found the dimensions weird to hold in my hands . Eventually i just bought a boox palma and it does the job for me , i prefer it being phone sized anyways

[crystal rock]

I think it would help if you look at what p*rn really is
1 - I see it as filmed rape. None of those people would do what they do if money was not involved, unless we're talking about kinks or mental disabilities.
2 - You can never know if the people in those videos have given consent to have it posted on the internet (the term "revenge porn" exists for a reason). There are either hidden cameras scenarios or videos that were supposed to be kept by the participants only, but were eventually leaked out of spite or just because some people are that disgusting
3 - There is no clear way of knowing if those people are indeed over 18 years old.

All in all, I don't want you to think that feeling guilty is the best approach. However, looking at it for what it truly is can be eye opening. Some people say "oh no, it's not real, it's just a fantasy", but the people you are watching for sure are real and their experiences are real too.

[novel kiln]

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to write all of this
You're amazing for this, really, it's so helpful and well-worded!
I will deff think about everything you mentioned!

[polar pewter]

any thing that would make me get back on studying track, whenever i try to study after like a 30 mins my brain burns out and i couldn't make it to the 1 hour goal.

[polar pewter]

[crimson estuary]

[strong plaza]

Have you tried having an accountability partner?

[dire badge]

i try to ask my friend for help but they dont take it seriously so yea

i want to try

[vital sail]

it's generally better to make a decision whether you keep doing that or stop and change for the better. You can't actually control addiction, you just change your ways. Just be reminded that if you keep doing that task you will go back to being addicted

If you got the urge to watch p*rn and scroll youtube. I recommend you to stop, wait for the urge to fade and do some reflection what started that urge. If it's really worse to the point that you can't control yourself. It's better to get some medical help

[young umbra]

im taking engineering this year and engineering physics and maths seem tough, so, what formulas and concepts should i learn to prepare myself?

[native cradle]

can anyone recommend some good libraries in delhi near new friends colony or in noida near sector 18

[desert pine]

tbh

youll be good if you know basic trig, newton and algebra

and make sure you study efficiently

the material most of the times is not hard

just a whole fucking lot 😅

[safe lintel]

My guy sex isn't that amazing it's really not something worth Obsessing over.

Probably the reason why you feel addicted to it is because it's Substituting for a actual need of yours.
You need to take responsibility for you own behavior. You are the only one in control.
Don't blame anything else and take responsibility for those actions. If you really need write down your feelings in a Journal.

Meaningless sex will never make you feel fulfilled.
Find something meaningful to Pursue and work towards that instead.

[safe lintel]

I think it's more for extroverts if you ask me.
They look for outward validation form there Peers.
Most people aren't really leaning just studying endlessly.

I feel like most students in Colleges and universities don't realize that there not Guaranteed a job in that department when they have there degrees.
And people forgot your class of 30 all finish at the same time meaning all 30 of them are applying to the same jobs you are.

It's a compilation I'd say only 10/30 people actually get the jobs they are applying to.
Kinda a losing game if you will.

[void mango]

Im still a student in latvia at 16. I got 3 years till any uni or college. But i think my dad sed it right.
You arents going to school and uni to only learn the subject and then use it. Most likely it wont even be worth it. But the people and contacts you make could make a successful business, or idea or be really useful and that is why uni in his opinion is worth it.

[safe lintel]

Exactly right make those connections

[void mango]

Yeah. Exactly!

[strong plaza]

Workdone or stickk allow for stakes, and for accountability there is also stepbets

[blissful kelp]

Just passing by but this is quite relatable, as someone who just started CS with just average math background it takes quite a long time for me to grasp concepts than my peers who excel in maths. Thanks for sharing, loved the quote: Jump and swim so I won't drown 👍

[young umbra]

im still kinda unsure on what and where to start studying for this lol

[young umbra]

Anyone wanna do psycholigal talk about failure in achieveing a dream/goal.? Dm me if u want to discuss abt it plsss.

[desert pine]

Ill ask you a question, how would you define a dream/goal? Are they not the same thing?

One would say that a goal is needed to achieve a dream, but could one not shift its mind to thinking "its already a dream to reach a goal"?

Then what is failure?

Not reaching what you wanted to reach? Well you reached something no? Then why call it failure when it can be called growth

There is a lot to say about it and go around in circles when at the end of the day, it is about perspective.

[young umbra]

honestly idk if im smart or not, i do what i do and studying works out, but in uni im expecting a lot of smart people to gather so i would essentially end up average.

but i do enjoy studying

[desert pine]

And what point are you making?

The goal is to get into university?

Im missing it, im sorry

[young umbra]

yeah

no point essentially

its alright

[desert pine]

Why worry about what will be? The future isn't written yet, and we have the power to shape it with our actions today.
Use your days wisely to make sure your not average 😄

And again, there is an average between smart people, just a higher average 😉

Again, perspective

[desert pine]

What are you planning on studying?

[young umbra]

comp sci

[desert pine]

Why?

[young umbra]

ive been always interested in programming and software development from a young age

i'd say i got started around 2nd grade or so

unfortunately i need to prove myself in merit before i show what i can do in comp sci, so i'm studying!

[desert pine]

Whats merit?

[young umbra]

[hearty wedge]

About a year ago, on the recommendation of a family friend (who is a professor at my university, call him Dr. Smith), I was able to get a volunteer position at a lab. This summer, again due to Dr. Smith's recommendation, I was able to get a fellowship via another professor (call her Dr. Jane). Dr. Jane was my mentor for this fellowship. I was supposed to work with her for 2 months on a project, then present the project in front of a large symposium. Dr. Smith will also be attending.

Unfortunately, I failed. I consistently came into work late and didn't communicate well with my mentor for the last 6 weeks. With 2 weeks remaining, Dr. Jane called me into her office last Friday and let me know "You are terminated from the program for non-compliance. Please let the program director know that you are not continuing in the program due to personal reasons". I took it without saying a word back - I knew it was coming. It's a bad event, but it's not what is scaring me.

What is scaring me is that I haven't told Dr. Smith yet, and neither has Dr. Jane. I know that I must tell Dr. Smith immediately, and am considering turning in a letter of resignation along with it. I have made Dr. Smith look incredibly bad since I was doing this fellowship under his recommendation. I'm just not sure whether that is the right move or not, and what should I do going forward.

The second issue is that I need to tell my family. Unfortunately, that is even more complicated. Dr. Smith has been invited to my house by my parents two days after the date of the symposium. I haven't told my parents about my termination yet. Once I do tell both of them, unfortunately I have made my parents look bad to Dr. Smith, and I've messed up quite a few close relationships as a result. My parents will be upset by the situation. So I'm not sure what to tell them, when to tell them, and how to navigate this going forward.

I can't tell anything except the truth at this point. I can tell Dr. Smith that I'm not attending the symposium due to "personal reasons" since Dr. Smith would immediately find out through my parents. I can't tell my parents that I'm still going to the symposium since, once Dr. Smith attends the lunch invitation at our house, all the beans will be spilled.

My parents will be displeased in this situation to say the least. For context, I've graduated college late with a poor GPA that my parents have fought me hard for, and this really is the last straw for them. For me to dump on them my poor performance in school and the news of this termination will be a lot for them.

I suppose I have a few questions that need answering:

1. What should I tell Dr. Smith tomorrow?

2. Should I turn in a letter of resignation tomorrow?

3. What should I tell my parents?

4. How should I navigate the next few weeks?

Any other advice on how to proceed is greatly appreciated.

[leaden path]

yo how would yall reccomend breaking down studying

Like if i have 4 subjects i do plus 2 personal projects like Is it more efficient to tackle all in a day or a day for each

or like would combinations of 3 a day 2 a day etc etc

Personally ive found like ion like studying many things in one day

But i have so much i need to get done

[leaden path]

If i were you i know its gonna be really stressfull in each moment

1. You just have to tell him that you got terminated from the thing . Its gonna be hard but its the most respectful thing you can do tbh. You also have to be clear why you got termed. Be real its gonna be better for u
2. IDK tbh

3. Tell them what you told dr smith . You got termed and why you got termed .
4. Idk what it means for ur life in a broad sense but i think once youve done 1 2 3 youll know what to do

I think ur parents and dr smith would be way more upset if u arent upfront with them

I recently failed a math test and my report card is sent to my parents and myself . It was sent late so only i knew about it but i didnt want them to confront me with it to make me look like i didnt feel bad about it . So i went to them individually and told them i failed and i also failed horribly. I let them berate me and by the time they were done i could tell they were in a better temperment than if i had just not said a word about it . I know its not really comparable but You really do owe ur parents and dr smith that sort of transparency

be mature about it and im sure youll be better off in the long run

dont make any excuses too just be upfront and real

I hope things go better than you expect them too but if it doesnt go as smoothly as youd like i think you just have to be okay with that reality

[vital sail]

I think he's right, your situation is already f** up might as well be upfront and take the damage

[desert pine]

To be honest, I do NOT get why you get into work late?

I might sound harsh as fuck, but you should really ask yourself the question if this is what you really want?
I assume not many people get a position like that, my friends who study medicine have to fight like dogs to get a position like this, yet you throw it away.... Im not being rude but maybe you dont feel comfortable with your position you are in? Maybe you are in some place else in your head....evaluate on your behalve and come out of it more wise, its a big lesson to learn from it and I sincerly hope you do so.

Answering your questions:

1. Tell the truth, simple as that.
2. No
3. Yes, they are your parents and brought you into that position. That is the LEAST you can do...
4. Not lying to yourself and wondering what you want to do with your life, since you have graduated, its time to get serious ||or not||

how to study 10-12 hours a day consistently 😭 only 4 months are left for my entrance exam but I am procrastinating a lot, have been preparing for that exam for a year now but was never consistent somebody pls help

[raven mist]

guys pls tell me what u did to quit procrastinating. i need to stop doing it for good, it’s ruining my life. i gotta learn how to just start doing things when they need to be done

[leaden path]

I guess recognize why you feel horrible after procrastinating . If you feel bad then you should try harder not to cuz you cant just perpetually be upset. When ur supposed to do something , dont think of reasons why you cant do it and as soon as you think about needing to do it simply go do it dont complicate it

after a while i think youll be good

[leaden path]

Ion think you need to study 10-12 hours a day with 4 months to go. Focus on working as meaningfully as possible and not on how long you do study. Sometimes its 3 hours , somtimes its 45 minutes and sometimes its 6 hours . But you gotta be consistent . If you make it feel like you have to do it then you wont think about skipping it . Do it everydya of this week and then youll get there

hey everyone. i've been self indulging to much recently and not doing the work I am meant to be doing. Procrastinating, straghtup refusing to do the work and having the attention span of light in a quantam scenario.

how do i get on track and back to doing what I like to do.

[rancid estuary]

I would suggest to pair up with one of ur classmates who has similar goals and study together,

And if u dont want one then
The best u can do is make a planner on notion, copy any template online, and try to follow it for a month to turn it into a habit,

Also read about the 8-8-8 rule, it helps a lot to focus :),

[autumn wigeon]

thanks brother

gonna start today. unfortunately. i do not have classmates like that

[rancid estuary]

No worries, u can find someone in #study-buddies

[exotic sigil]

Yo, i need a second-brain buddy. Mostly for journaling or planing and stuff. I have somewhat of a bad memory and would like to train it. Having a person to share things with would be cool and getting second opinions is good. You can dm me if interested. I dont mind being reciprocal. I'll help you too as a second brain buddy too!

Time zone: GMT +6 but i stay up til 2-3 am
Language: i prefer english.

[shadow cloud]

Guys I need some suggestions
I have been trying to wake up early but I couldn't breach the 5am mark
Want to start waking up at 3 so that I start studying by 4
Could you guys give me inputs in how you guys pull this early morning 3am thing

[leaden path]

first try working ur way up to 3 . So maybe for the first week focus on waking up at 4

then once ur comfortably doing it do the same thing for 3 am

Always be in bed atleast 8 hours before u wake up and get a full nights rest

when u wake up dont use ur phone for anything other than the alarm

i use my old ah iphone 4 as an alarm cuz it doesnt have youtube or anything so i dont dilly dally out . I reccomend taking a shower as soon as u wake up cuz it puts u in the game you could even cold shower but like i think its kinda overrated

I hope you guys can find some use in this sever but I be brutality honest this sever has been completely useless to me. Most people in here don't consistently stick with studding and study buddies only forced me to slow down my learning prosses.
90% of my time in this sever was helping people with there problems because nobody else would.

I self study and realize I surpassed most people in this sever with minimal effort I study when I felt like it and used online resources to learn everything.
Has being her helped me no.
Them most I got out of this sever was talking to helping people understand the reality.
Studying 8 hours a day is uselessly stressful and can just bernout people makeing them lose all drive and interests in the subjects there learning about. They rarely go beyond the given meters to learn more out side of the school system limiting there creativity and problem solving abilities.

Most people in here are miserably in det hoping they can land a job after university/College but are still to Idealistic to understand the reality of there situation.
Most of you will never pay off your student debt. I believe that fully.
To everyone that has mad these mistakes I hope the best for you but you must be realistic about life you can't just run away form your det.

[shadow cloud]

really a pathetic start to the day
woke up late
procastinated a lot
couldn't complete targets
feeling immense guilt

sitting to study
will study for 7 hours straight with breaks after every 1 hr

[shadow cloud]

I have been using the cold shower technique for 5 am an 6am thing
it does really light up all my nuerons and wakes me up
kinda works for me
does wonders to my ability to straight get to focus after shower

[shadow cloud]

done with my first one hour session

[leaden path]

ion think you should feel SUPER guilty just be harder on urself

feeling bad for urself wont help you tbh

dont feel pressured to imporve so quickly

You wont be as good as you can be in like a month

assuming you've tried all the troubleshooting 101s and nothings worked (restart, relog, clear cache, clear space, checking app permissions, etc,.).. have u tried opening the image in a browser and saving from there?

[young umbra]

In 31 days exactly the most important time of my life starts (GCSEs) I am in holiday and need help on how to lock in for studying I’m trying to currently achieve 4-6 hours a day but can’t even get 1 without focus . I need help with procrastination,breaking addiction , and consistency and motivation furthermore studying techniques for different subjects (my subjects are):
Maths
English
Science
Geography
Religious education
Computer science
Engineering

Pls help

[karmic fable]

Chemical engineering anyone? Can you tell if you need fluid mechanics and heat transfer to study unit operations? Or can I do it without having taken these subjects?

[young umbra]

yep and it

it's not even loading over there

[leaden path]

First of all . GCSES are way easier than you think. Dont overthink it . What i would recommend is for the first week for each subject right down basically everything you need to remember . It can give u like a good base. Then you need to just do past papers for literally all the subjects religiously once youve got the content down

thats all you need to do

Also i think alot of people ask in chat for people to help them with motivation and procrastination , addiction etc etc but really your the only person responsible for ur performance. if you dont want to change then you just wont. It cant be someone telling you ur motivated just get motivated . Motivation doesnt last anyways youve simply just got to study. Whenever u dont want to just do it

youll start doing it pretty easily

maybe delete youtube off ur phone . any social media if that affects ur focus , get leechblock for ur pc to block websites . if you really want to commit

[slow bronze]

Hi i need help with web development. Anyone i can dm with CSS?

Hi, I have a problem with using the computer, but I have to study but the books are too expensive what to do?

[young umbra]

I was just diagnosed with 2 different diseases and have fallen into severe depression

everything feels so futile

[novel sand]

still need help ?

[charred flame]

hey, I'm as stupid as a stump, I can't do anything, I have a lot of backlogs, how am I supposed to start learning if I'm stupid>?

[charred flame]

``my backlog is:
math
geography
history
profession *magazines)
physics
english

How can I plan my studies if I have a lot of backlog?

I can study from Monday to Sunday, it's important that I get out of this situation because I'm really bad

[blissful kelp]

So sorry to hear that, for some reason I notice a lot of people falling sick lately. I don't know what will help, but I'll pray for your recovery🙏
Please reach out to anyone you can, I hope you can get though this

[young umbra]

I finally finished my studies, went to uni and am getting the job i wanted

but i find it useless with these sicknesses

[blissful kelp]

I understand that it sucks bro
But since you've already gotten your dream job, I suggest prioritizing your health for now. I'm by no means a doctor but plz do anything that can help yourself to feel slightly better

[charred flame]

Because in general, for me, the case is as follows:
I've done Monk Mode a few times quite a lot of times, I've bought books, etc., it was fine, until a certain point when my mom gave me a ban on buying books, and now in my Monk Fashion lately I don't know what to do, because I have to read books in pdf, because in the library there are not those I want, unfortunately, and as if I feel tired again, lethargic, blue light and I don't know what to do, I feel that I shot a bullet in the leg, because of these books that I read on the computer :(, I feel like hitting the monitor, because I really don't want to use it, but unfortunately I have to because I have to read books in pdf, any ideas?

[young umbra]

We are back ♟️

[craggy sluice]

[charred flame]

ok

[torn forge]

Can any please help me deal with yt distraction

I used to study 14-16 daily but this yt ruined everthing

Everything*

[young umbra]

14-16 HOURS !???

[young umbra]

Delete yt…… (anything you need to search on yt should be on the online version or the search when you search it up)

[torn forge]

Okk thanks

[torn forge]

Yeahh did it for like 1 yr and 5-6 months now i can only concentrate for 6-7 hr 🥲

[young umbra]

That’s still so good . The max I do without distractions is 1 hour 22 mins lmao . @torn forge I’m sorry to be that guy but can you please give me tips on how to study for that long

[young umbra]

Damn how did you get distracted by yt.... anyways what I do on yt is I set a timer video and on full screen so I don't get distracted or maybe join a study session which is live

[torn forge]

Yeah idk how those indian vloggers 🥹

[torn forge]

While studying get ur phone out of the room which will directly affect ur study hours...... For me the easiest one which proved best was i stopped looking at time i let my body chose when to stop which really inc my time

[young umbra]

W

[young umbra]

get an ereader and connect ur libarary ebook on it

I use kobo ereader cuz its easy to sideload books and it also has libby(public libarary ebook thing)

built in

[daring mulch]

Are u explicitly trying to avoid using pdf files? Ive recently been using Adobe Acrobat to read all my books but I do insert pdf files manually. it works in very similar fashion to an E Reader

[river nova]

I just keep playing some music so that i don't get distracted and start playing some video on yt also i use maintain two yt account one is for fun and one is for study purpose only

[swift cape]

I paid for cold turkey, it was $40 or something. It blocks yt and everything good after 9pm but allows me 60 mins of fun time on websites or applications 8am to 5pm.

[torn forge]

Okk thanks ill try out these

[river nova]

Isn't there a chrome extention called focus? It does it for free

[dawn drift]

not an advertisement: i found that this google extension called "Limit - Set Limits for Distracting Sites" helps me, you can set a limit to how long you want to spend on yt and other addictive websites per day and it will show a little timer telling you how much time you have left. After the timer runs out, it doesn't allow you to go on yt or that website unless you turn the extension off.

[young umbra]

hi guys its me again. I found that I studied deep for about 2 hours and 10 minutes with little or no distraction. however my aim was 4 hours. pls let me know of anything I can do or any tips to help me. (i stopped because i got bored and burntout especially because of science i hate it)

[novel sand]

long study hours needs to be practiced

[reef lily]

2 hours of work is great, there are high possibility that you won't be as productive in one shot of 4 hours than 2 hours of mini sessions

[young umbra]

Is this Tracker from Anki?

[young umbra]

yep

[rare barn]

anyone have any strats for cutting out the urge to play videogames? I've completely cut out all forms of 'shorts' and social media - now it's just Netflix and (rarely) YouTube. I however still play videogames with my little brother. Does anyone have any tips to help battle the urge to get on the game when I need to be studying?

[novel sand]

see it as a reward, after you studied you can play games with your brother

[rare barn]

hmm ig, but then I end up studying an hour and thinking "just one game as a reward" which turns into 5 :/

[young umbra]

use stay focusd app or extension you can limit the time

[young umbra]

eliminate it completely maybe delete your account
try to find how that urge started i mean what's the cue and then avoid it
meditate

[rare barn]

ehhh I mean it's good for fun and bonding here and there w my brother but then sometimes it grows excessive

[opaque portal]

Hiya, does anyone maybe have some good html and css notes? I need them for one of my upcoming exams which will be to create a website from scratch

[reef lily]

Is there any other app which shows streaks, helps makin notes

Other than ankidroid

[opaque portal]

To help with notes I sometimes use chat gpt which analyzes my document materials and briefs them for me, it’s not always 100% accurate but it’s helpful if you need something fast

[young umbra]

make another user

one user for fun, youtube, anything you want

and another user for study/work

make sure that on the second user you arent able to access any videogames, like privatize them with the main user

i didnt do that since installing was way easier and more effective for me

another thing would be try to make it hard

bad habits should be hard if you want to avoid them

like if you want to play videogames do it on a schedule where you know you are going to be doing other things too, so you dont stick to it that much and you leave the time blocks with less distractions for studying

[young umbra]

Notion

[buoyant ermine]

yes i have one on my phone and is niceHabiKit

[swift cape]

Make him go workout or play sports with you instead of video games. You guys could also study together if it's not top distracting.

[young umbra]

yall ever read one of alain de botton's books? Life changing honestly

[novel kiln]

Is academic research usually taught or present during highschool?

[young umbra]

hey, can someone tell me did you get some benefit by meditating every day?

[leaden path]

What do you guys think of this level of organization for my economics 9708 CIE revisiion

Ive been doing alot of past papers and the goal is to expose myself to the common questions and and answers for each topic and i am now at a stage where i think ive done enough to start compiling my findings. but i need a system. I was thinking something like this . the AS syllabus is cut up into 6 units and each unit has a certain amount of chapters. Some chapters can just be merged since they dont have enough on their own but you get the idea . But some chapters have topics that are large enough to have their own bubble under that chapter. I was thinking i just attatch example questions from past papers i had done and also the correct answers , then once thats done i look through it to come up with some common questions and common answers . So the two bubbles under each topic are the actual example questions and answers and then just common questions like : " Question is related to benefits of public goods" then the common answers to the common question

Worked example

i could feasibly do this for both my economics class and my computer science class so what do you think abt the system

[novel sand]

@leaden path tbf it depends if you have mid terms and homework on a weekly basis. do you have this or ?

what i did for CS major is look through the curriculum and define into, what needs to be done everyweek and what needs to be done for the subject.

i would study related subject in bubbles like you said. chapter 3,5, 11 are related so i would study those. but for the same week i prob only need to do chapter 3 and 4,

[leaden path]

oh no its not lieka schedule or something its more like an archive. Ive done like 30+ past paper questions and im now ready to archive them using a system like this in order to gleam things like topic crossover, common question types and words, things like that

its like collectin a bunch of data and modelling it

im asking if anyone thinks i should try a different system or is this good

[fringe iron]

Do you guys fw the design?

[desert pine]

I like it very much so

something different then usual

Keep it up!

[fringe iron]

tyty

[novel sand]

design is okay, please work on consistency, also wasnt clear at first what was going on until section 3

[river cedar]

How should i feel better knowing i wasted 1.5 months even tho each day was overwhelming. I wasn't productive at all, i tried to study but didn't study the whole 1.5 months. How should i heal? if i take rest, i feel sad that i am not studying neither can i study when i am studying. I tried watching moives, going out, talking to ppl or just sleep; i couldn't bring even a bit of change. There's some weight pulling me down and idk what it is. I am anxious as there is such a big gap from where i stand and the portion that is left to be covered that i cannot take step in order to minimize the gap

[novel sand]

start with 20min a day and go from there. it seems that your expectation for the future is overwhelming. habits building rather than expecting from 0 hours of study to 8 hours a day can be a huge step

[river cedar]

Sounds cool!! I will definitely try this. Thank you for helping me✨️

[elfin coral]

is there any application like forest for pc's app because often when i get distracted I go in my steam library or on discord server. It would genuinely help me.

[fringe iron]

I aint much of a designer but i'll try

i tried the minimalism trend but i genuinely hated it so idk im trying to add some quirk

Hey, if you use notion, which school template are you using ?

(feel free to ping me if u respond)

[slow bronze]

programming and scoliosis

i give up on coding so easily and need longer breaks than a normal person would bc of backpain. any advice u can give to my disability?

[elfin coral]

Do you have backpain when sitting or standing ?

[slow bronze]

i have backpain for all positions

it doesnt go away it hurts annoyingly too

[young umbra]

i would recommend seeing a doc

[elfin coral]

If you are not doing it already maybe try stretching before and after a work session and maybe try to train your back muscle. I don't have scoliosis but my lower back hurted me a lot and when i started train those muscle the pain was realeased but as i say i didn't had scoliosis

[elfin coral]

the best solution

[young umbra]

someone i know has chronic backpains and it doesnt go away , doesnt have to do with sitting positions

[slow bronze]

i cant afford one sadly

[young umbra]

Oh im sorry. Leoxis advice seems good

[young umbra]

I NEED THE BEST AI FLASHCARD MAKER GUYS

i cant type everything anymore

Do u have any recommendations😪

[frozen cobalt]

i use anki

[young umbra]

it doesnt have an ai mode right😪

[frozen cobalt]

didn't see that, u can usee anki gpt (but it will cost u money and if u r not a cs student u may find it difficult to setup)

so try to find another app

[young umbra]

you can try Voovo, i saw it on AppStore, but I deleted it right after downloading bc it has Premium subscription

Without subscription you have smth like 11 flashcards per day (making or repeating, to be honest I didn’t check)

[young umbra]

guys, maybe you know apps where i can check my study hours and see other guys’ study hours?

i found “Flip” on Iphone, but it is a but not what I wanted.
(Yeah, I want to compare myself to others, some kinda toxic motivation)

[surreal sigil]

Hey, I am planning on buying Zen Planner. Does anybody know if it comes with instructions on how to use it?

[verbal elk]

Most likely

[verbal ingot]

The 2024 one kinda did. Pretty self explanatory when you open it and see how it's laid out. This one might be different, but I doubt it'll be completely different

[crisp scaffold]

How do I stop using tiktok? Everytime i quit i always end up going back after just a few days. I feel like at this point tiktok is the only thing i use to relax. Does anyone have any alternatives?

Additionally I feel like i cannot concentrate at all. I will get through just a few minutes of studying before I can't anymore. I took a summer course and could barely hold focus in that either.

[young umbra]

i just deleted it and if that doesnt work delete your whole account

also as an alternative i would say youtube (not shorts)

longform content so it doesnt mess up your attention span

[verbal ingot]

Completely deleted it and read instead of using it.

[crisp scaffold]

I might try switching to that then. Thanks for the advice.

[crisp scaffold]

thats what i try to do but im so bad at keeping habits like that its insane

somehow ive managed to keep the habit of playing piano daily but idk how to apply that to other things

[young umbra]

also put youtube to where your tiktok app is so when you mindlessly want to go to tiktok you open yt instead

[verbal ingot]

Could set a timer for how long you can be on it a day and then slowly reduce that over time

Or completely delete it if that would help you better

[crisp scaffold]

oh thats a good idea, thanks

[crisp scaffold]

yeah, ive deleted it off my phone for a start (i now have it on my ipad) but I haven't put screen time yet so i should probably do that

[verbal ingot]

Ye defiently do, you'll feel bad if you go to extend it too which is good coz then you'll get up and do something else

Also, you didn't get the habit overnight so it's not gonna go away super quickly. Will take time but you'll be better off because of it

[rare spade]

does anyone know a good gel pen which us retractable, has rubberized grip and transparent body available in India easily? (nothing too costly or fancy)

[crisp scaffold]

i would say muji but i'm not really sure if its avaliable in india

I'm pretty sure you can get piolet g2s tho

sharpie s gels are also nice but again no clue if they're sold india

[crisp scaffold]

yeah, my school's starting again soon so hopefully i'

ill actually have things to do that doens;t involve my phone

[cedar stag]

What are some alternatives things to do instead of doing research/science fairs

[rare spade]

yeah that's the problem most of these are sold at rlly high rates online

[alpine mural]

Games, books, movies/shows, building stuff, drawing
Basically just finding something you enjoy and consuming it

Exercise too, exercise is good for you

Hey everyone, I'm currently in Grade 12, studying in the science stream. I'm facing a problem: I wasted the first two months of this year, and now my board exams are near. I also didn't make the most of Grade 11, and I'm not sure where to start. I'm really confused. Can anyone help, please?

[verbal elk]

Just calm down you have plenty of time, High school syllabus seems like a ton but can be covered within short time period. Give 3-4h per subject every week day you’ll be good

[sweet heron]

@verbal elk I am confused from where should I start

[verbal elk]

Always start with the hardest subject, then ease into it with an easier one

Because it’s good to take up hard topics when you’re motivated to get them going

[leaden path]

yeh it does

[rancid estuary]

definitely, you'll get enough time to spend with them

u can also try three 8's rule , and twist it according to ur 12hr study plan

Hi guys. I need some time management tips:

I’m a Filipino nursing student, soon to start my second year in less than 2 weeks (I was raised in the states, so the early classes and strict rules are defo different) Anyway, my schedule Monday-Friday is that my lectures/clinical duties start at 7am sharp, and my Dean considers “on time” 15 minutes early. Given I wanna ideally get to school by 6:45 am ish, 2 questions: 1) what time should I leave the house? (I only live across the street, and, to save time in the morning, I wanna make it a habit to prep my clothes the night before, prep my bag, and my hair) and 2) What time should I wake up? 6am? 5:45am ish?

[fossil wraith]

take a nap its the best way to recover

[surreal yew]

yes

[slender willow]

I also eat breakfast that my aunt’s maid cooks. So with that being said, better to wake up at 5:45 or 6?

[rare spade]

see how long it takes u to eat

some people eat so fas where some people (me) take longer to eat

better to wake up at 5:45 js incase

[calm jasper]

Hey guys, I'm looking for some life advice. I'll try not to be long winded

My name is Mary, I'm a 19 year old highschool drop out (dropped out in senior year due to mental health struggles) and now im working towards getting my GED and trying to go to community college. My life is lacking in many areas and I don't really have family that is willing to help me figure out / get to where I need to be. I'm a musician and I've been producing and writing music since I was 8 years old and it has been a lifelong passion of mine. I don't feel organized, I don't feel driven, and I don't feel like I know where I want to be in life or what direction to take after community college. I don't feel like my passions (art, music, poetry, creative writing, film, etc) are lucrative enough to sustain me and I also am fearful that even if they were, my ADHD brain wouldn't be able to pick a direction and be okay with it. Life feels uneasy, like I'm walking on a tight rope wobbling back and forth. I'm sure a lot of people in here can relate, but does anyone have any advice for building confidence and being productive, and figuring out what path to take moving forwards? Thank you!

[autumn magnet]

@rapid radish me tira uma dúvida. Como que eu recebo os cargos relacionados à nacionalidade, idade, etc?

[autumn magnet]

Try to make a list of areas that you would like to work on? as you said, music, art, and related have a good place in internet, where a lot of people can see what are you doing.
Go to places that make you fell well, among other people whit the same interest.
In life, personally I think that, things that you cant change don't deserve your attention. Keep doing what your capable to do and others gonna notice it.
life is a good opportunity, be grateful.
If o wrote something wrong, I'm from Brazil, relief. Good journey

[calm jasper]

thank you. this was really affirming, i really appreciate you

[fading burrow]

depends how you interact with it

if you’re using it as a primary resource to understand yourself and take everything they say as gospel, without using other sources, then you might end up with a single perspective

if you’re using it as a stepping stone to start discovering more about yourself (which in turn will help with life and career decisions) then it can be quite useful with introducing you to different topics within philosophy

• you could use it alongside books on philosophy, journalling for reflection on your experiences, talking to close friends/family

ultimately, understanding yourself better is a complex process which generally requires some level of looking inwards which involves self-reflection and introspection

it may sound daunting but you can start out with smaller steps 🤠🤠

[strong island]

Thank you so much ^^

How does one focus on one domain, when they find everything they do interesting.

Like i am a cs student and whatever i get into like be it ML, WebDev, web3, android dev etc i begin to find that interesting

[rancid estuary]

i felt the same and learned everything(not web3, couldnt fit it in) to build a project using all lol,

[weak kindle]

does anyone know how to get james resume he used to put in his website

i used everything from checking the github links in the old html code but the good drive was deleted

i even used the wayback machine

but nope

[weak leaf]

ah i see but have you narrowed down your choices now?

[river nova]

u have to choose there is no other way either webD or ML or android or something else

I chose webD and it has been a pretty good choice so far

Hi everyone! Can somebody help with practice in english speaking? Im study on second course of university, so i have to prepare to exam^_* Link me, or write to direct please

[lyric sedge]

I've been using google calendar + google tasks for planning my life. But I'm having issues with it about scheduling based on conditions. Like I want to plan my life like a code file:

if check(event = "last done `#food`"): # if the last food task was completed so eaten
  event("Nap for 15 Minutes", on = "next event `#brake`") # Hastag for tagged events

This was just a simple example. I need these kind of things sometimes. And with GCal, They're always in my head (so affected by my emotions) I want to move them software world.

Simpler version would be:

event("Read <book name>", on = "all event `reading` for 2d") # literal event `reading`

I also need some scaling features like shrinking your plan from 24h to 12h to handle some days that I wasn't able to control myself etc. (like I slept too much and the whole plan gets sidetracked. So several to-do's leak to the next day)

I searched online about such software. I couldn't find a thing. Probably need to search more. I'd love to hear your suggestions, opinions about it. (If no such project exists, I may fork an already existent project and develop my own modified features like above)

Actually I could write such software like a library and may expose API functions to sync it with other services like GCal, iCal etc.

[mighty vale]

i've a general help qs. i started preparing for ioqm(IMO Stage 1 qualification exam in India) in June. I'm done with no. theory and combinatorics, algebra, sequence and series basics since dont have time. I wanted to do more practise problems and mock tests since the exam date is close (8th september), however I haven't been able to study anything for almost over a week, since our school half yearly exams are merging with it. So i've to study for them.They are taking up all my time (the half yearly exams are starting from 2nd september). What should I do, I'm not going to school this week since we have half yearly exams from next week. How should I manage them together

[sterile rivet]

Are half yearly worth giving priority over IMO

[mighty vale]

no, i think i can pass if i practise nicely now. i'm able to do qs and had last year xp as well. but my parents care more about school marks

[sterile rivet]

Well parents don't really know about worth of IMO and stuff

Half yearly will barely matter later on

I don't even remember my marks from half yearly exams lol but I wish I had give Olympiads more seriously

[mighty vale]

yeah but my praents are not letting me study and they dont listento me when i explain it

[wicked flume]

any1 who took ap seminar give me some tips pls 🙏

[sterile rivet]

That really sucks tbh

Only option you have then is to study for half yearly as much as what convinces them don't overdo it

[mighty vale]

oh i realize now, that im stressing too much. msot of the productive time of my day (focussed one) is during night. and other than that i do some study in evening (parralel to my main chapter to do). in morning im generally not in a focus mode since i just woke up with less leep. but i can still manage to study maths.

i can try studying it in morning and noon before lunch

[slim breach]

looks like it ig

[sterile rivet]

I see good that you know how your mind works

[sterile rivet]

Good luck you got it

[mighty vale]

guys i have a general question. i study with a lot of focus at night, that is confirmed. but in morning idk ive not tried it that many times. since my exams are from next week, i was sticking to night study, but my dad is not appreciating and supporting this and wants me to wake up instead, even though it would be essentialy the same thing as i would get the same amount of sleep and 4am is still night. but the problem is i feel very sleepy in morning and cant study. what should i do?

[chrome patio]

yoo i got my exams from the 2nd, i am moderately done with the syllabus but i feel way behind. these exams are of 80 marks and in 10th grade. iam just lookin for some suggestions/tips

How do you guys take effective breaks during study sessions? like say in a 10hr session you take 10-15min break after every 1hr study and no matter what I do in my break I don't get the refreshment i needed to start another 1hr study after break, i feel a bit burnout or as if my mind is jammed from all that study

[ember gate]

Willing to spend 170 but want to find something for 150

[wet rivet]

I think maybe try to take more breaks. Also 10hr session sounds very long. Take good care of yourself

[gentle pike]

without realizing i compare myself with james, he also does 10hr session with 1hr each and 10 min break but it doesn't work most of the time and i tried to give more time for breaks like 20m but this amt of time for just a 1hr of study feels not fulfulling

[wet rivet]

Hey it’s okay if you can’t. I also could never make that work. How do you keep track of time?

I personally try to do 45 minutes then 5 minutes break. It depends if i have a lot to study or not

And I track time by watching a pomodoro timer video

So when I hear the sound I know it’s time for a break and when I hear it again I automatically get back to work

[gentle pike]

hmm i get your point

[gentle pike]

and what do you do in those 5min break? do you sit idle till 5min passes away?

[wet rivet]

I usually scroll on my phone ahaha

[young umbra]

in the us?

[ember gate]

Yeah

[young umbra]

then you can go for this one https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Anti-Glare-Business-Laptop-Professional/dp/B07TXMTSJ4/ref=sr_1_15?crid=3BF7LO2B8GBA3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9._zHzXypQ79OquQEgu7uETI55TSLvvBHJRrnMYOa07DREhcOiXjom3UJbGXFJacW3xxamiscWpO3G9aZCJ_drnuTwtXS2KisfIG0L3nx_z-zJfW5JEOqfj-qxAsdFPj8y1xYafZZYDgKadJBjJyg2w6wVMyiIjrD1Tk-z7D97nVvyF_mCFPm5pQHq_PBOdUwmWsQ2nbCVzzt9-0BYQnEvLM69-ws3FUg21u_s89z0c-Q.Ou1Wq9OaGTg4TEaZi_vcUJJz7-cYsFmoyEp7Knpf1WI&dib_tag=se&keywords=thinkpad&qid=1724898437&refinements=p_36%3A-16500&sprefix=thin%2Caps%2C406&sr=8-15

even though it is renewed its alright for the price

or if u want to dig in deeper check ebay's offers

i mean it does its job overall and it is not that bad

i guess that you are going to use it for studying so it should be fine

hello everyone, Been looking at colleges, etc, and majors. I'm looking into the biomedical choice. So the in-state college I'm at has a very nice tuition and a nice scholarship that I can have. Still, they don't offer a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering but offer a minor, So I could get a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in biomedical or just go to an out-state college for an actual biomedical engineering degree.

Anyone have any good cheap alternatives to the pomero250? Surprised at how pricey they are

[slender jewel]

It's just a digital typewriter so look for one, I'm sure you can find one for about £50

[slender jewel]

What do you want to run on it?

[topaz path]

True. Honestly similar to what James does, I’m just going to simply be journaling at the end of each day, but wanted something dedicated and distraction free, seperate from all my other tech

I like the screen size on the pomero- some of the others are tiny

[slender jewel]

It's cheap but what's your budget?

[topaz path]

Oh wow that would be perfect. Not sure, maybe up to 200ish

[slender jewel]

Lol that was about 40

[topaz path]

Can you link me please 🙂

[river cedar]

Hi!! I gave my first SAT attempt on August 24 after just 1 month of prep that too insincerly(i am not fine mentally rn). I would say I aced my math section 95% (ig), in the first module hopefully everything should be correct but in 2nd module due to time constraint i had to guess 4 questions, but THE ENGLISH SECTION it was hard and its gonna be the reason for the low score and not upto what my university demands.
Ik its strange but which platform should I study from be it paid or free online resources. For math i can manage but for english i really want to know. Please help me out i really dont know which platform to depend upon or which is the most authentic resource. I am gonna give my next attempt in November as i am gonna have mid terms the coming two months in my school
Thank you!

[desert pine]

Do you have access to past papers?

[river cedar]

No, i thought they dont provide the past papers

for math i just took blue book pratice test and the question pattern was literally repeating and i knew where to improve

[primal jackal]

what do you mean past papers? like test examples?

[primal jackal]

E reading and maybe light note taking. The only reasons for this one is cause it has a physical keyboard

[strong saddle]

find that shit from within homeslice

uncover the substrate that is the predicate of your existence

to justify the suffering that is intrinsic to being

no foundation = lost in abyss

hence why spirituality is often perceived a necessity for man

[desert pine]

he did not mean it seriously

i already got the remark

[strong saddle]

yea but it's still good to engage in exploratory thinking

online communication is just so difficult imo bc everyone is so facetious

[desert pine]

his way of sharing his idea of it not being serious implied to me he was not open for that thinking

but good insight

[desert pine]

very true

[strong saddle]

it's just crazy how different the world is today than it was 50-1000 years ago

like how determined someone's life was

just based on their milieu

like today we are absolutely so overwhelmed/deluged with information that it is too difficult to make sense of it

career ventures, religious dogma, etc

[desert pine]

wow

watched a video about it yesterday

[desert pine]

still in some countries till this day

yet, everything changes if one realises they have almost 0 responsibilities

[desert pine]

It made a turn from using internet for the good, whereas now its bad in many handsights

low satisfaction, high dopamine from the most boring tasks

resulting in living a boring live not to ones full potential

which implies his question of "finding life"

there is a door for every key they say

you just need to find your door 😉

[late gust]

i can't seem to focus no matter if i got no distractions i will shut down my laptop put it away in another room same with my phone and i won't use them and no one will disturb me but i still manage to get distracted and its not like i have a bad attention span i have a normal one i don't need the brainrot shit but still can't focus without getting distracted by the smallest of things.

What to do does anyone have any tips or advice or help

[frail glade]

Ask to ai

hop it helps

[primal jackal]

What other things do you seem to distract you?

like for example my fan makes a ticking noise which causes a distraction cause I start counting each time it ticks, But to fix that I just wear noise canceling music and either play classical music or no music at all

[frail glade]

theres such an easy question

like what?

[late gust]

like what is outside my window or i just start tapping things or twitching and i get distracted by my bed and what is in my book i just start reading nonsense things which i wasn't doing i start thinking about things like wonder where this figure on my desk was made or stuff like that

[primal jackal]

hmm, maybe just taking breaks every hour, only small 5-minute breaks might help, at least. Or perhaps even just meditating might help a lot and just focus more on breathing. If you're not already doing that

maybe also each time you get distracted well studying or doing something you should try to note it on a piece of paper if that makes sense. That might be able to help but I'm not really sure.

[late gust]

i have tried the breaks and the breathing but i will try the noting it down one but the thing is i already know it and even if i write it down its probably not gonna do anything like this things just happen naturally to me its not like it happened over time or anything

[primal jackal]

yeah, I understand that. I guess that whole method doesn't really work if you are aware of what you're doing if that makes sense. hmm il think what can help, I gotta think on this lol

[late gust]

thank you man

[frail glade]

bro is ai on the point lol

[primal jackal]

???

[verbal elk]

Some really good suggestions here, appreciate that

[primal jackal]

yeah man of course I'm always glad to help someone

[strong saddle]

yea that's why it is absolutely vital I don't squander the opportunity I have being fortunate of living where I do

equal opportunity + access to unlimited information

How much sleep is actually sufficient?

[drowsy hawk]

adults need between 7 and 9 hours

[cosmic echo]

That what most people say
But some of my friends and seniors ( who are good at studies) sleep like 4-6 hours .

[river nova]

but 0 responsibility will lead to insanity

[young umbra]

did u try the 4-6 hourrs before ?

[cosmic echo]

Well I did try

But never works same everyday

Even though I sleep at the same time

Also , alarm usually doesn't help

[young umbra]

then it doesnt fit u
simple as that
u do sleep to get ur body and brain rest as good as possible
so u could be productive and active all day
there is a book about sleeping tho ( i cant remember the name tbh )
it said that your level of concentration along the day is decided by your sleep hours
the less u sleep , the less u will concentrate
there was also a topic how some people could sleep less than some ppl and still could have the same concentration
however, choose the sleeping hours that fits u and makes u feel good along the day

[cosmic echo]

Thanks man

[young umbra]

why we sleep by mathew walker

[young umbra]

yw bro

[weak leaf]

james rec that too

[topaz path]

prioritize sleep.

it's so important

[young umbra]

Thankyou so much

[magic current]

tbh, its normal

just make sure that it doesn't happen much

and the other thing is

when you get into the "zone" most prolly you wont get distracted

[desert pine]

I find nihilism so vague to be honest, because one believe in the nothingsness but tends to create something?

It tends to go to the ideals of Ted Kaczynski

Not implying they are equal, but you could say Ted's ideology is a side stream and a more graspable concept then nihilism itself

Like for one to live trough nihilism, I can not imagine how it would be like.
Im more of the thought "if its not in my control, I wont change it"

But If its in my control, ill change it.

[heavy iron]

Then how do the people in para sf have 2 hrs. Of sleep and train the rest of the day?

[verbal elk]

It’s not a daily occurrence and even if they do it on a semi regular basis they are part of SSC, short service commissions,meaning they sacrifice their bodies during their prime to serve the nation. Hence that’s not recommended

[strong saddle]

unfamiliar with these ideals so it'd be inappropriate of me to comment on this

[solid lance]

what is a good device that is e ink with good hardware

[river nova]

the unabomber ?

[desert pine]

yes

[river nova]

Ooh really ?

[river nova]

didn't he believed that the industrialisation was destroying nature or something ?

where does nihilism comes in ?

[desert pine]

yeah

[desert pine]

Both the Unabomber's ideology and nihilism involve a profound rejection of modern societal values. Nihilism, in a broad sense, is the belief that life lacks inherent meaning, value, or purpose. Kaczynski similarly rejected the values of modern technological society, arguing that they stripped humanity of freedom, autonomy, and a meaningful existence.

[desert pine]

Nihilism often involves a radical critique of existing social, moral, and political structures, sometimes advocating for their complete destruction or deconstruction. Kaczynski's ideology also included a radical rejection of existing societal structures—specifically, technological and industrial systems. He believed these systems needed to be dismantled to restore human freedom and autonomy.

Hello..
Why newpipe app doesn't work anymore?
Anyone knows?

[marsh trench]

So basically as you can see I am not consistent these days. I am using an app which has a bar code challenge. Bar code is in my other room and the alarm only stops when I scan the code but I discovered a cheat code of "swtiching off" my phone which makes me sleep. I don't wake up with that consistency. If I put my phone away from me I just switch off it and go to bed again. Please Help me I really need the help. My aim is to go to #200days by end of 2024
(idk how to send images otherwise I would have sent my habit tracker pic)

[covert anvil]

Well obviously that doesnt work for you

is it for waking up only?

And you have to set some kind of alarm and get a better app to do it. After time you wont even need the app you will be used to it, it will suck at first

[young umbra]

i dont wanna say it but
dont switch the phone off then is the only solution

the problem is even if there are suggestions for other apps
and u knew a cheat code
then the problem isnt in the app
the problem is that u r not willing to wake up or be consistent
u have a goal to do that
but are u willing to ?
bec switching off the phone isnt a step to achieve that goal obviously

and another thing , if u did want to wake up at 6am
and u woke up at 9am
that aint the worst thing to happen
rearrange ur to-do list for that day and continue the day normally

[young umbra]

there is app called
digital detox on android
u could use it to lock ur phone
and there is a permission not allow to turn off the phone ig

[cosmic echo]

Use " stay focused" and " ratio "

I tried alot of these apps and these 2 were the best

Does anybody have tips on how to cope with loneliness?

(Context if needed: I'm a 2nd year uni student, I'm good friends with everybody at my uni but not much of a "close" friend probably due to incompatibility, which I have accepted will be the case until I graduate. My 1st year went on trying to change universities due to this issue, but that failed, so now I'm trying to get used to being here but it gets pretty lonely as I'm mostly alone outside of lecture hours, evenings, nights, and weekends, but recently feelinngs of being lonely seem to have gotten worse and they seem to be causing my depression and anxiety to resurface, and hindering my productivity, so I need some tips)

[primal jackal]

I would honestly say introduce your self to more people that being. You could always join a club if you have the time of course and that club could be something you have a personal interest in as well. I think it's more just about breaking your bubble and going out and introducing yourself. I also don't believeyourself the whole incompatibility thing. I think you just gotta expect it to take a lot of time for you guys to become close friends. (Sorry if that was badly explained, I'm kinda in a rush)

[worn jetty]

thanks, I'll try to. I think I have a pretty much of a negitive fixed mindset of who I can bond with (the "compatibility" part) but yeah I'll try to figure it out over time.

[primal jackal]

yeah of course! I don't think that having a mindset is such a bad thing of course, I think it can help with actually choosing friends that you know will be there for you when you need it if you know what I mean

[worn jetty]

Yeah but mine's a little weird lol. I mean, the reason I've developed this mindset is because they've all grew up in completely different culture and settings, which makes it so that not one single interest or activities of mine match with any of them. I've already spent one year here so I've got to know all of them enough to confidently say that that's the case. But the thing is I think that mindset is wrong because just because somebody has never explored the same things as you doesn't mean you can't be friends and bond with them and somehow find middle ground for fun activities and stuff

so I'll keep trying and try to get past this personal barrier I guess

[worn jetty]

thanks for making me realize this tho

[marsh trench]

I want to study, it's nice in morning

[marsh trench]

real, Imma get a alarm clock ig. After 21 days it will be easy ig

[marsh trench]

I want to push towards my goal but I am somtimes lose faith that if I am even interest bcz I myself switch off the phone. I feel very sad when I wake up late. Even 6 am is late for me. I just want to wake up before 5:30. I woke up at 5:30 today but I ain't happy about it

[young umbra]

Why to lose faith in yourself tho ?
U r already on the right path
Doing the right thing
The Brain tends to do what it takes to stay comfortable out of the stress or hard working
So it will be always willing to do anything that achieve that
So it is not a thing u r doing on purpose and it means u r lazy
But it is just naturally happening
And u still got the choice to do what u will to

And for waking up late
As i said it aint a big deal bro , be thankful and cheer ur self up , u r already doing good .
And starting the day with a bad mind saying that u already aint happy waking up 5:30 am ?
That's like a parent mad abt their son getting An A instead of A+

Be thankful and always cheer yourself , criticizing what urself on every mistake is just too harsh bro

[young umbra]

And i was a same like u tbh
But not abt waking up only
& abt critcizing myself on every possible mistake even if they were little mistakes

A book called ; the joy of Imperfection by Damon zahariades ,
Changed my mind tbh

[marsh trench]

choosing the right path is easy but following it is tough. I have successfully done 107 days rn are 118 in 2024. I have 93 days left for my goal of 200 days. I am very happy as I am again on a 3 day streak bcz I was just not making any streak in recent time.
I am trying my best and I hope achieve the goal and have some productive mornings. btw today, my morning was the most productive in recent times which is good

I have 13 days left for exams and I am losing my consistency so it's a bit depressing

btw, Idk ig I am highly inspired by James that whenever I wake up at 5:00 am or 5:30 I just regret not waking before it even tho my deadline is 6 am

idk how it happens but it just does

[marsh trench]

oh

[marsh trench]

Lol I locked my phone for 8:30 h and now I want to use instagram but it won't allow me. It's good haha

[young umbra]

U r right tho , and u are already doing good
U just need to realize it is not about the streaks , if u failed one day after 100 days streak does that mean u didnt achieve anything ?
Being consistent is by always trying to show up , and even if u didnt , trying to be consisent and see where are ur mistakes is part of it

And keep it up u r doing great and hopefully u will do good at ur exams

[young umbra]

Looll

[marsh trench]

thank you so much man!

I'll try my best

“You must do me this honor... promise me you will survive... that you will never give up... no matter what happens... no matter how hopeless... promise me now Rose, and never, never let go of that promise”

I think that losing faith or hope is part of the experience of being human

But it doesn’t mean you take it as your true feelings or deepest intentions

Its part of the process

i cant keep up my flow for more than 10 mins

i can sit for hours but i cant keep up my flow

i always thought that just studying more would fix it

even when just reading fiction books

i can do it for hours and hours

but i cannot keep up my reading flow

and no i wouldnt have any distractions in my enviroment

i just stare at it

Perhaps it’s because of a lack of good sleep

It impairs your ability to store new information

[young umbra]

no lmfao

always been like this

i feel like its because the way i study isnt engaging

but i dont know how to make it so

can you even

[verbal elk]

Reduce the levels of dopamine in your brain

[young umbra]

what am i supposed to let go off now

[verbal elk]

Otherwise activities which give long term gratification will never be appealing

[young umbra]

i have no social media

no food

no games

no intrests

[verbal elk]

You don’t have to give up much

Just don’t start doing something the moment you have free time

[young umbra]

theres nothing left man

[verbal elk]

Sit with your thoughts

[young umbra]

Forget about what you don’t do

What you are doing is of much more relevance

[young umbra]

welp

[verbal elk]

Explore your interests which do not contain instant hits of dopamine in them

[young umbra]

i think that i should just eat it up for the time being

[verbal elk]

Start journaling

And meditating

[young umbra]

[young umbra]

[verbal elk]

Don’t do things just because the sake of it
