[verbal elk]

That won’t help

Journal when you have something to reflect upon

Meditate when you are feeling overwhelmed

[young umbra]

that doesnt sound right lol

its really just the way i study

i like look at textbook

then look away and try to recall

do that x999

i cant make anki cards cause arabic

and even if i did i dont think itll be efficient

[verbal elk]

Maybe try talking to some friends irl

[young umbra]

lmao

[topaz path]

What are you trying to study?

[crude geode]

My advice would be to leave studying for 1 week , if you still find yourself unable to progress add 2 other weeks as a break

Break time is as important as studying

Usually when you resume studying, you will find yourself able to study for longer hours and retain more info

Just make sure you are well rested

Also life without a hobby or without some sort of recreational activity is unworthy of living

You are not a machine

You are a human being

Just make sure you practice quality stuff for example drawing paintings, visit museums

Even playing card with Friends/ family

Help you get a boost

[young umbra]

Hello, I have a question: Do mini-essays help you get a better grasp of the chapter after reading it once?

[young umbra]

there is a discord server about practicing talking in English i will dm u that
it may help and u could ask there too

[blazing spire]

guys what is conversion certificate

[weak leaf]

a certificate for some kind of conversion?

[slow bronze]

just a survey

What do u guys want/need in a server?

[topaz path]

A discord server? What are you refering to exactly? Whats the context of the server?

[worn jetty]

yeah I mean it will really depend on the goal/topic/category of the server

and if it's a common category then I would suggest exploring other popular servers in that category to understand what works I guess

[flat prism]

Hello. I have a printer that uses almost no ink, and I wanted to know if it is better for me to print the books I have in PDF or have them printed in a bookstore

[worn jetty]

Well if, print

if you wanna be that accurate though

otherwise I would say store books probably cost more than just prints because of all the retailing, profits of services etc. plus they have their covers which are specially printed which adds to the cost

plus your own prints can have smaller font size and bigger pages you'll probably save

except the time and efforts and electricity bill which could be minimal

[flat prism]

TY!!!

[wild quarry]

guys , do u have a method to study 24h befor the exam hlp

[slow bronze]

i study as much as i can in the morning and start with the easiest subjects so i accomplish more before the night comes. take naps and eat chocolate too. try to schedule topics with a timer so u dont end up spending all your time in one topic

[sand nacelle]

I'd like to know, if your teacher mostly talks about dates like e.g., 1984 this happened and that happened. What's the best way to memorize or at least retain most of the dates given? My teacher isn't doing a good job teaching in general. ( I mean i get it its college, i am a freshman btw) but what are some techniques you guys know?

[slow bronze]

I try to arrange the events in order and use visualization to capture numbers. It becomes like spelling to u and allows u to get a hunch whether youre familiar with that date or not

[signal gyro]

what note-taking app do you use?

[young umbra]

Yo I heard that my college gives tons of assignments....I taking btech/be in cse core and I really hate assignments please can anyone suggest me something which can save me

[slow bronze]

goodnotes

[leaden path]

depends do you type them or like physically write them

i use xournall for writing with my graphics tab and laptop but if i’m just capturing stuff in a class i use obsidian

[trim geode]

Hey!

I’m working on a research project titled "The Future of Decentralized Finance in India: Understanding the Opportunities and Threats" and would really appreciate your help!

Could you please take a few minutes to fill out this short survey? Your insights on decentralized finance, blockchain, and cryptocurrencies will be incredibly valuable for my research. Your responses are anonymous and will be used solely for academic purposes.

Here’s the link to the form: https://forms.gle/ceHFT2zE2CSzBaZJA

Thanks so much for your time and support!

[young umbra]

information loaded stuff like history

and heavy theology

[slender jewel]

I need help with my my life. I have been picking up some pretty bad habits which need to stop instantly

Also I want to be productive but don't know what to study yet, I'm going into engineering

[flat prism]

It depends on what habits are u picking

[signal gyro]

thx osbsidian is very good, I need a good handwriting application that I can use on my android tablet.

I think I will use concepts

[signal gyro]

The software is very bad for android😭

too many bugs

[novel kiln]

this year is really important for me, academically, and I really have no space for any mistakes
I usually study and do well, but I burn out SO EASILY, at the beginning of the term I'm always so motivated and all and then my mental health always gets control over me

How do I overcome this?
How do I study without burning out and losing motivation?

[leaden path]

burnout is unavoidable if ur pushing urself but i think its manageable , you need good hobbies

[upper relic]

hi guys, i was wondering if it's allowed to post google forms here?
i need people aged 21-50 to do a survey that helps me with my assignment :] it's about respondent's media habits, the NGO we have created and the effectiveness of our advertisement that we also created

[young umbra]

is there anybody here that has any experience with making anki flashcards from arabic pdfs?

[young umbra]

I used to memorize the dates in an orderly manner and more importantly, I used to have an interest in what I was studying. For example, World War ll , I knew what happened from the beginning and I knew the details, or at least I considered it as a story and I knew what happened on the dates with the specific events. I used to reread every period (two to three days).
and rewrite the dates and what happened on that day
but 1 thing could happen often
either i remember the date and i forget what happened then
or i forget the date but i do remember it happened
but what helps me that i know what happened along what i have studied so i probably always guess it

[thorn summit]

I ve seen people post google forms in #general-chat . All non profit things like this are fine. Ask permission from a moderator beforehand btw

[young umbra]

hehe i figured it out

can someone link me some good resources on how to memorize/ study subjects like history and theology

so the way students approach these subjects in where I'm from is this: open the textbook, read paragraph, try to recall it, move on to the next paragraph

and so on

after about middle school no teacher and or student takes any notes for subjects

they just depend on highlighting and marking the text

[young umbra]

and doing this

My problem with this is that I can like zone out for hours at times when I get to kinda complex parts of the text

which is literal torture

1- you lose your study flow
2- your general feel of the subject gets distorted
3- you lose so much time
4- you feel really bad about it > burn out

I'm looking for ways to circumvent this

I was thinking about formulating parts that look tricky to get by but idk

[wild ridge]

I need pencil recommendations for my iPad Air m2 13 inch
Just need something that I can write with and lasts a long time
Not an artist or anything like that so don’t need pressure sensitivity. Double tap to change tools would be great to have

[sharp trellis]

Hello! This is unrelated to studying but does anyone know how James is able to upload such long videos? I wanted to make my own study with my vlogs to motivate myself to study, does anyone have advice? Anything would be appreciated ^_^

[topaz path]

Perhaps it's different when you're streaming it and saving it as a vlog vs uploading a normal video?

I have no idea btw, I don't ever upload on youtube. Just a guess given I can't imagine them capping your stream time for a short period

[sharp trellis]

Ooo I see, thank you! That makes a lot of sense

[topaz path]

No worries! Again, i could be so wrong, that was just a complete guess lol

[blazing spire]

it was for high grades

[upper relic]

alright thanks! do you think i can just dm them or ping them? i have no idea how to contact them without opening a ticket

[thorn summit]

#how-to-open-a-ticket this section shows how to communicate with mods. Dont dm them they dont respond to that

U can communicate only with tickets

[young umbra]

hlo all

[upper relic]

aite aite thanks man appreciate it!

[strong granite]

Hello guys

ohw are u guys?

[plain sluice]

wassup yall

[plain sluice]

I need help

i have got my exams from 13th

mid term

i want to do an academic comeback

but then idk how to
i have school from 7-5pm

i come home eat lunch and sleep by 6:30 or something

and i sleep by 11:30-12 ( i usually stay up till 2-3 but parents dont know)

i had to leave gym cuz of the time management not happening idk how to mangae school homework my time and shit all together

[soft kelp]

don't stay up till late , if you are not doing anything productive you've mention about homework then just do that .parents watching you or not its your responsibility. academic excellence does'nt mean if you are completing your work, it's related with your confidence , do something which you fear about in studies like math or the revision of unfavourite topics .

[dim scroll]

take your sleep seriously

that is step #1

ultra mega fucking obvious

get that 8 hours

[sharp trellis]

Learn how to use google calendar and plan out your life with rhat. Get 8 hours of sleep so you dont have to take a nap after school, and instead go home and study! You can do this

[vital sail]

how to memorize and comprehend a lot of info

[ivory vapor]

[obsidian jungle]

Does anyone know what cameras James uses? I know one of them is the fujifilm xt4 but i cant find out the rest?

[south marsh]

can anyone help me find the pdf for Landmarks in Humanities: 2024 Release by gloria k fiero please i can’t find it anywhere

[verbal elk]

Search at Anna’s archive or libgen

[river nova]

Last I checked libgen something was wrong with it's server as I was not able to download anything

[random aspen]

Is there any option someone could dm me a copy of the Japanese Anki deck I have a recite but it’s saying download failed

[heavy iron]

I have an addiction to my electronic device like I just can't get off them even tho I know I need to study infact when I try to study or do practice problems there isn't any problem it's just I can't get off my phone

Any apps recommend for this

[young umbra]

Digital detox to schedule when to lock the phone
U could lock it for days tho

Appblock for blocking apps

Blocker hero too , but it does block yt shorts and facebook reels

[young umbra]

And i do actually recommend to shut down the phone while studying

[young umbra]

And put the phone out of ur sight/room

The ultimate move is to delete the social media accounts

[outer portal]

greetings guys I hope all is well. Well, I need support. I'm struggling with understanding why this is wrong.

[worn jetty]

(P×0.6)+(P×0.08)
= P×(0.6+0.08)

So I think you should be adding the percentages not multiplying. Add percentages and then finally multiply with the amount.

Unless they are supposed to be multiplied based on the terms

[polar pewter]

i am not 17

why it said 17

[young umbra]

how does one use anki

[young umbra]

Itd be awesome if someone can link me some guide of a system that consists off taking notes and turning them into anki cards

I tried making really simple question answer notes but making them simple annoyingly hard

[young umbra]

using cloze cards

or basic I dont care as long as its efficient kinda

[timid garnet]

has anyone here taken a gap year?, im new to this discord chat but im probably going to fail my year because of procrastination and depression and i dont know whats the best way to bounce back from this failure and learn how to manage my procrastination (med school for context)

[young umbra]

Didnt take a gap year , but i failed at uni and still tho not doing too good but still doing my best to be better

Best way to bounce is to know what have gone wrong along the year like
Try to get every single course u have taken and try to know ur mistakes in that course and write it down
Even if the mistake was not studying the course at all
And try to write what to do about it and start thinking for solutions
And start asking ur friends who passed the course for what is the best to do for studying that course
And try not to miss any lecture or tutorial

Doing all of that will just make u realize what went wrong and where are ur problems and maybe there is a common mistake or a couple of mistakes u will know
But it will be annoying bec u will just be rethinking of how the course u failed badly but tbh its for the goodd
Know ur mistakes to work on them will make u better

For the procrastination tbh , i think the only way is to know what do u do when u dont want to study and try to avoid it
For me i used to use my phone and escape studying and kept scrolling for hours and took a step and deleted social media accounts but still did continue sometimes to use my phone
Until i just shut it down and put it out of my sight

Or everytime i struggled at studying a course i just go to sleep
For that i just stay where iam studying and dont ever go lay on bed until iam tired

So hopefully u will have a good comeback from this and u will be good again
And remember failure is part of the success
So dont be harsh on yourself but just try to work on your mistakes and hopefully u will be doing good

[young umbra]

.

[timid garnet]

thank you ! I'll try to take the advice to heart

[young umbra]

Ur wlcm !

[marsh trench]

I am officially going to get the greatest downfall of my life in 2 days

[young umbra]

I mean u still got 2 days
Do what u can do
Do not just predict that u r gonna have a downfall tho

[turbid sinew]

context plzz

[marsh trench]

Like I have exam tmrw

[marsh trench]

in last exam I scored 39/40 in unit test and I was the topper

tmrw I have mid term exam

in which I have to get above 70 or 75 marks (out of 80) bcz since last two years I haven't crossed that barrier of 70 marks

in 40 marks exams I never fell down below 34 and in 80 marks exams I never fell below 62 but never crossed 70

highest I got was 69 and 68 last year

but

This time I am sure I will fall below 60 easily

and see the greatest downfall from 39/40 to less than 60 out of 80

[rapid mantle]

Why do you doubt yourself that much? If you take this test with the same mindset as the exams rated on 40, you'll never fall below 78

It sounds a lot like self sabotage, maybe you're afraid to succeed or to sound like you're outside the norm, you shouldn't either way, you work, you get the grade you deserve, the thinking part goes after the exam, not during it

[late gust]

guys i got an exam on monday of science and i am not able to focus any tips i need them quick

please help

[sinful raptor]

i wasn't able to focus at all until today

try to study at night im serious

there's no distractions and even when you don't want to study there's no one who are not sleeping so u don't have anything except being productive

[late gust]

i will try that today but my body just automatically goes to sleep mode at 10 p.m since thats when i sleep

so idk if i can study till like 12 or later

like i had this entire week to study but i didn't do it productively and i feel slugish because of that i feel so bad and mad and feel that i will now not be able to do good in the exam

[sinful raptor]

well if you have a specific healthy sleep schedule i won't want it to be break but i didn't so it worked for me, could be a bad idea if your exam is in a early hour too

[late gust]

yeah my exam is at 8:30 on monday

[sinful raptor]

yeah don't start studying at night haha

[late gust]

ok thank you for the advice though

[sinful raptor]

yeah np even if it's not for you, it can help somebody else

[late gust]

yeah : )

[sinful raptor]

u know there's still time until monday and about procrastinating, you can try taking a cold shower before getting into work and don't think about it like just try studying, it's always better than not trying at all and scrolling or sm

just do it carefully we don't want you to be sick and miss exam bcuz of the cold shower haha

[marsh trench]

bro. yesterday I had a feeling that I'll fail in trigono and triangles but then I got some worksheets and previous year questions. I solved all of them flawlessly. I was very happy when I became the topper but I lack confidence. When I came to home after giving that unit test. My mom asked "How was the exam" "uh I missed one question" "okay it's fine" few hours later "Ig I did one more question wrong" "okay it's still fine" (by mom)
One day before result
"Mom I think I would get below 30 marks, I mean I did pretty great but like I don't think I'll get 35+ that easily, Like I am not a topper and I ain't good right?"
She didn't respond
and when we went to collect the result I got 39/40

[marsh trench]

Idk how to control it

I am doing all tough questions flawlessly which even my frnds can't do

[rapid mantle]

Don't think about it before or during the exam

It's as simple as that

[marsh trench]

I am going for exam in like 2 hours

[rapid mantle]

Good luck pal, dont overthink your capabilities

[marsh trench]

and I got cooked. I am very disappointed from myself ngl. I had an easy chance to get 75+ this time (out of80). I studied almost everything. 70+ was blindly possible but I crumbled as always. Time was the problem this time (like everytime). My hands were shaking bcz when 20 mins were left.
I had 2 questions of 5 marks (each) left = 10 marks
3 case studies left (carrying 12 marks)
and 6 mcqs left.
Total of 28 marks left.
I had to leave some previous questions to secure these precious marks and out of these 28 I am scoring 26 marks so it was a wise decision to leave some previous questions but it's costing me like 13-15 marks which means I am not crossing the 70 barrier again. Everytime I shatter with time management but I complete my exam before 5 mins at least or at max 1 min but I complete but not this time. In last 7 exams of my math I have always suffered from time management. Taking a lot of time in start and doing like 40% of exam in last 15-20 mins.
Now I am getting 65-70 marks but I wanted more. My frnds will be getting 70-75 easily and some even 77,78 so I feel kinda lonely here. My hands were shaking and even my teacher noticed it. I couldn't tie down my sheets bcz of those hands. I am disappointed and a bit happy. Like this was the first exam and 65+ ain't bad start. I have 5 exams left.
Also this is mid term. I have 4 main exams left till next march to prove myself.
I am disappointed and a bit happy at same time

[rapid mantle]

Do you have your precise grade yet?

[marsh trench]

wdym?

[rapid mantle]

Did you receive you're graded paper?

[marsh trench]

I think I'll need a clock next to when I do math in future

[marsh trench]

no. I will get it on 11th october

I have 5 exams left

of rest 5 subjects

It feels like I'll never touch 70+ barrier

[rapid mantle]

Problem solved, that'll be a problem for you in a month, not now

[rapid mantle]

Plus you have a solution. If that is your only problem and you still master your lesson, you know how to get over 70 at the next exam

[rapid mantle]

There is no rational thinking leading you to believe that, take that into account and study some more

[marsh trench]

In last 7 exams of math, I have finished 5 times but only 5-10 mins before exam. Two Times I couldn't finish. first time when it happened to me for the first time and last time was today

the only pattern I and my frnd have noticed is that

I take so much time in starting questions

I stare at my paper for like 15 mins and don't write anything on answer sheet

I need old me back ngl

I have 3 exams left which are language subjects which will take almost forever to finish

[marsh trench]

Next I have science exam on 19.09.24 It's not my strong part ngl. I am going to work my ass off for it

ngl at this point I need my frnds to disrespect me for my low marks bcz whenever someone does that to me. I just destory them

[maiden phoenix]

so I got a kitten

she was so spicy but she more comfy now

she still hisses at me if i disturb her from her naps

but after some belly rubs shes very chill

idk im thinking of getting a cat harness

my main concern is that if I let her out she'll run and hide like she did the fist time

(It took me 3 hours to track her down and lure her back into her cage)

hahahahah why did I just get a cat

i mean its kind of worth it I guess im just

I feel like a father atp

[loud sierra]

kittens have poor sense of direction so I wouldn't let her outside unsupervised

a harness might be a good idea to get her used to while she's still a kitten and more accepting

and just remember to respect her boundaries

then she'll be a great companion I'm sure

also, illegal to talk about a kitten without showing a picture!

school isn't shit bro, if they want you to go schooling then go in 12th but in 11th don't ever make the mistake 💀

[young umbra]

i mean u will know u have mastered when u have a quiz or exam and u ace em
or when u solve some questions on what u have studied and answer em perfectly
but just feeling that u mastered what u have studied wont be enough ig if u didnt do anything that proves it
but if u already did solve some exercises on what u have studied then u r good
no prob to do what u want

[novel kiln]

how do people actually choose a degree if you're having a VERY hard time deciding

I want something that will give me a secure future career-wise
I know 3 languages, at school I'm taking A levels math
I have no talents or any really good subjects, I get As in everything, but that's just because I study, not because I'm that smart, I mean I have friends that just from listening in class have such deep understanding of physics, but I don't have that kind of brain, unfortunately

I am interested in psychology, but I fear that there aren't many job prospects in my country and I fear that I will spend 6 years getting I degree I won't use

In an utopian universe I would study literature/psychology and become an author, but let's face reality, art rarely pays your bills

My other option is business administration, which seems boring but useful

Economics is something that I might consider but it seems too general and idk in what exact field to go

Transcultural communication - I don't know enough about what job I can get and whether it will be in demand in the future

What else is left for me?
I feel so stupid every fuckinf day, I wish I was once of those smart ass ppl, but I'm not

Any advice is highly appreciated

idk how im supposed to complete it all

seeing the question scare me

which makes me not even try

[young umbra]

Do u have any background on any ?
Or just the first time ?

[young umbra]

I mean cant advice u on any on ur choices cuz idk alot about both tbh
U can ask #business-help
U could ask there about economics

But i have a comment abt
"I get A's but That bec iam studying not bec iam smart"
If u r smart and u r not studying
U will be failing
It is ur hardwork paying off
Dont be like u r just lucky u got A's
Studying was ur way to Get A's and doesnt mean u dont like deserve em like the smart one

And even in college
U dont have to be smart u just need to be consistent and studying to succeed
Being smart will be ofc good
But wont add anything if u r not putting the hardwork with it

[young umbra]

U dont have to tho
U dont have the time
And u cant
( if u dont have any background ofc)
And even if u have a lil background
Finishing 3-4 chapters
And trying to do ur best in the left time is better than not giving ur best try
So as i said
Dont try to study em all
& Accept that..
And try to do ur best by focusing on each chapter each one by one
And try to understand and try to search for some solved examples to help u understand faster

Hopefully u got it bro

[reef glacier]

i have idea of sets relations complex numbers

i just did pnc

[reef glacier]

how do i focus

[rare spade]

When u begin studying any chapter just focus on finishing it
Dont try to see any other chapter while stuyding a one
Dont try to see unsolved examples before studying rn

Fix your mindset

“I have no talent” no, you just havent found it yet

Stop fearing what may happen

And fear doing nothing

Art is literally necessary in every company

Same with business administration

Same with transcultural communication

Seeing yourself as a weak person makes you a weak person

Stop thinking like a weak person and think like a person trying to figure themselves out, not bringing themselves down

The way you think is the way you view the world.

he just lacks confidence/personality

Much bigger issue than wanting to decide a major

does anyone here studies graph theory?

[thorn summit]

Am i looking myself in the mirror

[novel sand]

heres advice most people do not like but does work.

experience.

bad at sport ? did you try it for a while

bad at maths -> did you try a math olympics

or see it this way

havent tried chemistry yet ? look up a diy project for at home and see if you like doing it ( be cautious and only follow safe projects )

school doesnt usually teach what you like. you need more experience and try a lot of things

the commitments for these projects could be 1hour or even 2 months. it reallt depends on you.

be active and goodluck ⭐

ps make a website is my biased opinion haha

something to know @novel kiln is the paradox of choice, you might think you have more options than they actually are

[rocky fern]

am i allowed to share images here? I need help with James zen planner, as I'm a bit confused on how to use it

there's two sequences of numbers going from top to bottom "1-12" and "1-31"
I'm not sure what they mean or represent, it's a bit unclear to me

I also don't know if there's a difference between the undated zen planner and the 2024 one. If they are the same or different planners

[young umbra]

how was it

[whole schooner]

hey guys, im looking for the light James uses to get up, the one that could set a timer or something idk, i couldn’t find the video he recommended, so does anyone use the same one?

[winged breach]

if you are bored study with rn on youtube @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91Z0iVZG4t0

[leaden path]

the 2024 planner has the the 2024 dates

the undated planner just has the days over 365 period

1-12 is likely the months and 1-31 likely the days of the month

[rocky fern]

thank you

that definitely helps a lot

how is it best to use a planner like this and fill it out ? i put it on my ipad into notability but the spacing sometimes feels off

like some boxes and lines are too small for me to fill

[leaden path]

i’d print it but it’s finna cost you a pretty penny

unless you print it in pieces

[reef glacier]

im expecting 40-50 i guess

out of 80

my mind dindt work

properly

during exam

[buoyant bluff]

at what stage of depression are you now and what are you doing to recover from the cognitive loss. we can DM too if you are okay with talking about it more

anyone wants to suggest a free online course which would change the way I see the world? for me it was Robert Sapolsky's lecture series on Human Behavioral Biology

[weak kindle]

what did james achieve by studying that much of hours (ofc he helped others to study) but i'm talking about him career wise,looking at his linkedin he works now at orbit , i mean an average person can reach that just by studying 4h in college and be good , isnt this waste of time? (i wont deny that studying 12 hours a day in his two channels brought him audiance) , like if someone told me he studied that much hours i can imagine him working at a top company or having a really high salary
ps: i dont say what he did is useless just genuine question

[rancid estuary]

getting into a top company not only requires skill but also luck :),

[heavy valley]

i mean i remember James also mentioning he isnt actually the best at academics, so studying 12 hrs couldve helped him achieve what others can achieve by studying far less. i definitely need to study way more than my other peers since im not exactly the brightest. plus James' career path is pretty competitive

[heavy valley]

im sorry youre going thru that. hopefully you have a support system where you are?

[heavy valley]

i have a crabtek smart light bulb from shopee that works well, definitely not the same from James' videos but can turn on in specific times by itself

[sweet heron]

Hey, I am in grade 12, and my first terminal exam is in a week. I haven't touched anything yet, and I don't know much except the chapters we've covered in class. I'm feeling really depressed and lost. I don't even feel like studying. Please help me out

[novel kiln]

Study by doing practice tests
Try to notice a pattern and the types of questions
You can't catch up on the actual studies in a week, so you gotta study only the essentials and hope for the best

[young umbra]

how does james use an old crt monitor for his desktop?

[wild ridge]

He uses a connector

I wouldn’t recommend it though

Intentionally downgrading hardware is pointless unless you’re going for an aesthetic

[leaden path]

i think like despite where he works or whatever , just working that hard probably taught him a lot about life . personally i’m not so great at math but i’ve kept with math all the way up to year 13 and it’s just taught me a lot about the values of hard work and a lot about myself . sometimes i think we get caught up about tangible results from work you feel that you were owed but sometimes you can work like way harder than anyone and be fulfilled simply by the work regardless of what benefits you get from it

[weak kindle]

well i'm not talking about values hard work taught him but talking about irl achievements

[leaden path]

bro what

does it matter

genuinely

[weak kindle]

well its because a #general-help-chat question

[leaden path]

yeh i guess i just don’t understand what you want to know

[young umbra]

I dont think james cared about irl achievements as ig from what the videos i watched for him
he wants to become a better version of himself
ofc achieving things like working at a top company is great
but ig he wasnt heading for that

[novel kelp]

i have question, is it better to learn in silence or outloud and if you study with your headphones or buds is it good to listen music (like clasic or lofi music)

i read all sites on internet talking about this,but i want to hear your experience . PS: Sorry for my bad english 🙂

[novel kiln]

Imagine you have met your person. The one who sees and understands you like no one else. The one you clicked with instantly. Whose whole being you adore, the one with who you can imagine your whole future, from living together to growing old. The one that just FEELS right, the one with whom you communicate just with eye contact, the one who makes you whole.

But at the same time you get an opportunity to go to an amazing university abroad.
Is it possible for 2 people to wait for each other? Is it possible for two people to not lose the love they feel for each other? Is it possible for such a prolonged long-distance relationship to survive (with seeing each other once every 3 months for ex)?

Am I forced to give up one thing to have the other? I know that I should never give up live opportunities such as a good uni for a person, and I won't give up studying abroad, I just want to know if there is hope for us

[kindred pike]

take this with a grain of salt

you say things like, "like no one else," and "living together and growing old ... the one that makes you whole." if both of you truly believe that and know how to healthily compromise when things go wrong and talk things out civilly when you feel uneasy, i'd consider it. especially when you have an opportunity for a good life, e.g. a good uni, you can live a fulfilling life with your partner whom you want to live together and grow old with. but the only ones who can make these decisions and sort out their priorities are you two

the two of you may have to consider the entire future and the connection the two of you share. if you care about them to the extent that you do, both of you have to maintain your chemistry and love for each other not until you graduate, not until you get your dream job, but forever even until you're both on your deathbeds (kind of dramatic, sorry lol). i'd say the answer to your questions lies in your and your partner's hands. do some soul-searching and talk about this with your partner if you can. but from the looks of it, your relationship seems healthy and strong. i'm also still young and am not very well-versed in relationships so please only consider my words and don't take them to heart 🙏

[novel kiln]

tysm for the reply!

[kindred pike]

no problem! good luck

[solar hare]

[rapid mantle]

Allow yourself to be tired, rest enough after class and study later

You don't have to study after classes, you can study the next day before classes if you wake up early

[rare spade]

what font is this

[novel kiln]

Fuck, how do I choose the right degree?

My heart belongs to literature and art, so my absolute dream is to study psychology and become a writer, and one day a uni professor, but let's face reality this won't pay my bills. It's just one of those stupid dreams.

Next I've been thinking abt civil eng. But is it too late to choose this (I am last year in hs rn)? I know any type of eng is really hard, but honestly it sounds like it can be very intresting and rewarding one day. The problem is my father wants to send me to Austria for uni and all universities there have the reputation of being HARD AF, (for example TU Wien/Graz) so I have no fucking idea if i will survive (for me having to retake a whole year is no option)

Then my plan B) is to study business and finance in WU in Vienna (the program is in English, which is a relief since German is my 3rd language, after english) But honestly I've never imagined myself going into finance, but at least I won't have to worry abt getting a job, since every company has a finance team wtv

what tf do i choose? I'm constantly fighting with my father because he wants to send me abroad (we're from a shitty country education wise), which I understand, but I am SO SCARED that I won't manage and will have to repeat years, will want to kms constantly or just will fail as a person and he would've wasted money on my education just for me to fail during the 1st semester

[desert pine]

i did physics, i switched to philosophy because it was my first first option, decided to do both. Your young, there is no reason you should only get 1 degree and start working. Do 2, or 3 take a phd in the one you like. Live a little, because thats mostly over when you start to work

also, a dream is not a dream if you dont chase it

dont dream then lol

[bold heron]

How do i get off my ass and start studying and stop procrastinating

I feel like this is such a common question lmao but ive been dealing with severe procrastination for years

My inability to get off my ass and start doing anything has genuinely ruined my life

[young umbra]

begin by trying to know what do u do when u procrastinate
scrolling
sleeping
playing games
know what do u exactly do and try to avoid it
delete it if u can
the distractions helps u to procrastinate
and since u say u have been dealing with it for years u already know from the videos on yt
that the brain tends to avoid anything that cause stress for it
so ofc if there is a chance of scrolling and getting dopamine or studying for hours
the brain will tend to make u go to scrolling

so u should put end between u and the things that u do while procrastinating

[bold heron]

I definitely tend to fall into bouts of endless scrolling

I gotta find a way to lower my anxiety though bcs that shit always fucks me up when i try to study

[young umbra]

if u have android
try blockerhero
it blocks yt shorts , facebook reels and ig instagram too
and it blocks apps if u want to .
the scrolling isnt good in any way .

[gusty jay]

hii im going to art college in a few weeks,any tips for me to get ready for new semester? this would be a totally brand new experience,environment and friends to me,i feel overwhelmed and anxious at the same time😢

[strong saddle]

yoo the homie studying philosophy now?

[mellow granite]

I have my social science mid term assement tomm 2 chapters for economics are left any tips

[spice pine]

what part of economics are you studying

[spice pine]

is this your first time at uni?

are you freshly joining in ?

[surreal spade]

What do u do when a new classmate is not giving you the good vibes and has made some comments that imply that he sees you as inferior, but whenever you try to not interact with him he approaches you

I want to respectfully tell him to back off but i cant just do that

[limpid steeple]

Yeahh

[limpid steeple]

Well if he does not respecting you or made you feel uncomfortable,that is a red flag,for me tho

[spice pine]

Do it

Confront him

[limpid steeple]

Yeahh you should talk to him,whether by person or texting

[surreal spade]

Idk know his number, i have only known him for a few days and he has already done come comments with some undertones that make u think he sees me as someone inferior or less smart, if he does something more severe i will definitely tell him to tone it down

The only thing i can do rn is subtly avoid him, always manage to sit down in the middle next to my classmates so that he cannot sit down next to me and thats it

[limpid steeple]

Yeah good job

[spice pine]

Right. So, a couple of things. First, you gotta remember that everyone is going to be as anxious as you are because it's also most of theirs first time, yeah? That'll help calm your nerves a little. Also remember that people that you become friends with in the beginning might not be the folk you end up with maybe even one year down the line. So don't feel bad about friendships falling apart. Another thing is that, you're gonna be lonely. Especially if you're moving out of home and it's your first time. So ensure that you have a good support system. And coming to academics, don't take that 8am class. You're gonna end up skipping it on most days. And don't pick too many classes for the semester. Maybe like 4/5 would be chill. And since you're going to art school, I'd recommend getting in contact with the uni as soon as you can to know what kind of stuff you'd be working with so you have a rough estimate. Take a good look at your syllabus. And if you feel like crying (trust me you will), do it. It's one of the best relief methods.

[limpid steeple]

I didn't expect such a long text damn hahahah,aww thankyouuuu I'll take note about that!

[spice pine]

i tend to go overboard. im sorry if its too much information sob

What do you guys use for taking notes for technical subjects, like digital notes?
Are there any easy to use apps or software with pen tabs(drawing pen tab) which gives a feel of pen and paper

[young umbra]

Hi guys, stupid question but when you print a return label, do you print on both sides or on 2 different sheets if there are 2 sheets?

[desert pine]

Goodnotes is very good

BUT

i did some experimenting and the feeling of pen and paper is something else, the amount of information you store in your brain after a lecture is a lot more then taking notes on a laptop, ipad,...

if you are still in HS or going into college

i suggest you just take your notebook (paper) with a single pen

learn how to take notes

how to summarize

its the beginning of learning and the most crucial part

also

take a small notebook with you, like an A5 A6 format where you can jot in your questions during lectures, very helpfull

[main quest]

You have some techniques which can boost the overall process.. cuz I totally agree with the efficiency and advantages of pen and paper thing however.. it's too less cumbersome to locate and find when you've piled them up, I feel.

[small pewter]

im sure everyone has times when they find it hard to get motivated, but some strategies can help. try to identify what is causing ur lack of motivation. are there external factors like stress or distractions, or is it smtg internal like feelings of self-doubt or anxiety? once u understand the root of the issue, it can be easier to tackle it. then u try to set realistic goals and break tasks down into smaller, more manageable steps. this can make it feel less overwhelming and more achievable!

[shell vessel]

https://t.me/blum/app?startapp=ref_XnTIXcVQeC

[strong tiger]

maybe try broadening your search? if you find sources/papers that are tangentially related you may find that they reference a paper or point that is relevant and can help you narrow down to your focus.

[loud spire]

Thanks, I am looking for studies that compare generic / category specific questionnaires to evaluate something, but i don't care about the topic or the type of category, so that's what's makes it difficult to search.
I found an online AI tool like chatgpt to help search for papers though which is really useful

i just started uni like 3 weeks ago

Anyone here got anything to say to me?

like advice and maybe something else

[hearty wedge]

Go to class. Don't be part of the 80% of the people that don't go because they can always view the lecture recordings. Most don't even watch the lecture recordings and get overwhelmed. Go to class.

[hearty wedge]

Obviously have a social life, but don't let it consume you. You don't need to get blackout drunk to enjoy a social life. Your primary job at uni is to learn, go to classes, get good grades, and learn about life. You learn about life by doing cool stuff, not by partying every weekend. Seriously, explore extracurriculars.

Finally, if you're in a liberal arts style college (broad range of mandatory subjects across many disciplines), enjoy your literature and humanities classes. Most don't have a good time there because of the essay writing, but past that, it's very useful to know.

Most of all, have fun. Make sure you're having fun. If you're not having fun, you're doing something wrong.

Best of luck!

[rain charm]

Here were some things that worked very well for me (i'm graduating this semester with my BS):

1. Go to class, even if attendance is not required.
2. Dress appropriately. It sounds silly but if you look good you'll do good. Your instructors will appreciate it as well. Here in America people will literally wear pajamas to class lol.
3. In many majors, the lower level classes are often theory-based, and upper-level classes are often application-based. Do your best to study and wrap your head around your textbooks in your lower level classes because that information will only build on itself.
4. Do internships, research assistantships, and/or teaching assistantships while you're working on your degree.
5. Attend department related events (i.e research presentations, interviews, etc..). Last semester we hired a new professor in my department and I attended one of the interviews and was able to ask questions. Its good for networking 👍

[oak cedar]

Hmm, thank you
I'll translate those words according to the context of my environment

1)Pay attention in class. use your brain to learn & understand stuff.
2) Have some better communication skills. Do stuff for personal development other than just books, but don't go too far from studies either or else it puts you astray.
3) Don't do stupid shit that distracts you from the main purpose of uni
4) try to develop some real world skills, so that you can be better prepared for a job and stuff

Hey y'all

It's not about the physique or muscle building I just believe doing something difficult no matter what is good for you

Aside from that i do hit the gym haha

[young umbra]

well muscles need rest to be built btw

🙂

[magic star]

Yeah, i wanted to preface that here

I kinda wanted to get out of a study rut so doing that helped!

[sleek rover]

hey there I am not sure if this a formal or positive way, but are there any people who have AUTISM?
The reason I ask this is because I have an idea which helps autistic people get employed with their desired job. And recently there was a survey which stated that neurodiverse people don't get employed due to them being 'Different' and i think this is wrong. so I would like your help to help me further understand the problems these people face.

criteria for candidates:

1. 19-28 age
2. preferably studying at an university or employed
3. preferably looking for job opportunities or internships.

I really hope this is a nice way of asking your help, and I do hope reach out to these people help me understand this problem better and help me find a suitable solution for this problem.

contact me via PRIVATE DM's for more information.
looking forward for your response.

I have a slight problem. my problem is that my Discord Spotify activity on my laptop isn't showing up anymore [now it's not showing up]. I'm not sure what the issue is because none of the articles I've checked out have helped my particular issue [reconnecting Spotify to discord, etc]. I've even closed the apps several times to try and fix it [even on mobile] and I cannot seem to figure out the issue. Im signed in and everything is active yet nothing will show

Help is appreciated!

Does anyone have any general advice for getting into the flow state? I definitely need help managing my focus throughout the day.

[young umbra]

TedEd on yt had a video about it called ”How to enter the flow state”. I get it through meditating and starting from one small interesting task related to the subject I’m working on. I usually forget to meditate tho

[kindred mantle]

How many minutes do you meditate?

[young umbra]

Until my brain starts to function. You’ll feel it then, there’s no limit to it tbh

[brisk wing]

Yo Is there a way to fully reset your own brain like removing every addiction and study for the goal that i want but procrastinating.

[young umbra]

At first
U should know every addiction u have
And then try to know how and when do u use them
And try to figure out a way to remove each one

For example
I do watch alot of yt shorts when iam bored or stressed or when iam back from uni
I have alot of options :
Not using the phone at all when iam home

• use blockerhero to block yt shorts
  -use an app to lock the phone when i am back

hi good morning, do you have a journal or notebook? you can make a progress tracker in it, starting with listing your goals but they should be realistic and then you go step by step
when you've reached a goal you go on to the next one

[broken ferry]

No I don't... Already tried doing one but I stopped

[hard ether]

focus on one thing you want to do each day that will help you feel accomplish when you go to bed
it can be as simple as eating a good meal if you struggle with it, and then everything else you do is bonus

[broken ferry]

Tbh I don't even know where tô start, I Just got out of a test and feel like all my study was bad 😅

[simple scarab]

Hi

[true forge]

i usually do 60/10 pomodoro but i cant get my ass to study again after my break, what should i do?

i always extend my break

[leaden path]

maybe stop pomodoro

I used to believe in short breaks and for those of us with the self control it works

But i think you should just study like

2 and half hours and take an hour long break

It just feels better

most people just abuse breaks

[rare spade]

[true forge]

but there are some times i cant focus more than 60 minutes

i have tried flowdoro method, didnt really liked it

[leaden path]

i guess u just gotta work on either not abusing ur breaks or working longer

Working longer gets me in the zone

[true forge]

hmm, i guess i should try working longer

thank you, i will let you know

[elder kettle]

Thank you for getting back to me!

[young umbra]

try to ask in #tech-related-help

[rapid bane]

if you need to make something relatively quick i think flutter might do the job, it all depends on how much you are prepared to learn about flutter before building the app itself, but basically the thing about flutter is that you can code only once and have the app be ready for ios, android, website, whatever

So lost right now, to be honest, don't know if I should go to college for an engineering degree or go to culinary school which is the main thing I want to do, and try to work my up into a good restaurant but it lacks so much stability

yeah your right

i love giving people something that they enjoy and I think i always need to be moving or I get really anxious. I honestly dont think a engineering job can provide that

do what you love you only get one life so you might as well give what you want to do your best shot rather than falling to something more stable immediately. Nothing worth doing is ever easy and if culinary is your passion then it’ll be so much more worth it than what engineering offers just because your day to day qol will improve as you will actually enjoy what you do

Ok, so... I stopped using social media, and now that I want to go back because is easier to find people to discuss things about series/books, but I feel scared in someway? like, I feel is hard to find this people anyway, I think I dont know how to be part of a community, or maybe idk how to use media anymore?? Also irl Im becoming less social in a way I did not thought enough to understand. Just to write this was a NIGHTMARE.

Nah that was me like right after lockdown ended until i figured out that the key is to just pretend that you find people interesting even if you dont 💀

James uses many tablets by the company boox, they seem to be good, you can look into those. There are also kindles that you can write on with a pen but they use annoying proprietary software so you can't install android stuff unless you jailbreak it, which is a little more work, boox doesn't have that problem.

hey, first off congrats on the results 💯, now please dont take my advice closely to your soul because i myself am not really the best example of good time scheduling and everything, but i think that burnout can really build up over time, and when you hit that critical point, its not just hard to study, but also you dont enjoy things the same way either. Id suggest balancing your day with study time and personal time to relax, since overdoing it can make studying less efficient too. When it comes to motivation, maybe think about why youre putting in all the work and studying sessions that you are having, whats your end goal that would make you fulfilled and happy? Sometimes having that big picture in mind can help you push through the tough moments

[harsh imp]

I'm having a very hard time focusing, and we only have 1 week left to review. Any help?:,)

[solid sonnet]

for me the one key aspect that impacts my ability to focus is definitely the environment around myself. i often find it that ill be able to study better if im in an environment with the incentive of productivity like the library. what i can say is, definitely try to take any distractions out of your learning environment whether that be tossing your phone across the room, tidying up your desk, or limiting random noises.

you could try a variety of study methods, pomodoro works for me best as its a nice balance between work and breaks (i use the ypt app to track my progress and time)

i believe in you; connecting with a study partner could be beneficial as well to keep you in check while you're losing focus (through cam calls, encouragement, etc)

prolly asked a lot but what timer does james use

i mean like an actual physical timer n not forest or sumn

[fervent prawn]

What do you guys think, did people get it worse in middle ages compared to antiquity?

I wrote this: After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, self-sufficiency was important. In antiquity, people had a money economy and lived in cities, but after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, self-sufficiency was important and trade was weakened. In contrast to antiquity where they had a money economy, they exchanged goods until they developed a money economy later in the Middle Ages.

In the Middle Ages there was little social mobility, most people followed the feudal system. In the hierarchy, the king or emperor stood at the top, below were the royal vassals who were granted land in exchange for providing soldiers and resources. The royal vassals had their own subordinate vassals, who had unfree peasants attached to their land. The feudal system worked so that everyone was dependent on each other. In contrast, the structure in antiquity was better. Power in antiquity was more centralized and there was more social mobility than in the Middle Ages, for example a slave could be freed and gain the status of a free citizen. Through the feudal system, vassals could have their own laws over their territories, this created unpredictability for ordinary people. They did not have a universal law as in the Roman Empire where everyone was treated according to the same legislation, this is called Roman law.

Education in the early Middle Ages was linked to the church and there were fewer opportunities than in antiquity. In ancient times, education was important and more accessible. There were philosophical schools which and they studied philosophy, logic, science and politics. In contrast to education where it was mostly about theology and religious studies. There was less religious freedom in the Middle Ages than in antiquity. The Christian faith was the only one accepted in Western Europe. Not following the church could lead to staff and the church had great power over everyday life. In antiquity it was more flexible, there were more gods and one could interpret the faith in a personal way. Art in antiquity was also not only religious, for example it was also about the idealization of the human body, in the Middle Ages, on the other hand, art was strongly influenced by religion.

Due to the infrastructure in antiquity there were better sanitary conditions, in the Roman Empire there were sewage systems and the cities were supplied with clean water. There were also public baths and basic medical care. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, much of this structure disappeared and this led to poorer sanitary conditions and less knowledge about health.

I don't know that much history, but maybe it got better in late middle ages? But there was the black death idk

[delicate cargo]

Can someone please help me name as many Justices on the current US Supreme Court?

[rapid mantle]

Okay, so, that was a lot of generalization, the western Roman empire was an enormous place still, antiquity was a very long period, and the middle ages are an even longer period. It's hard to just compare the 2 blocks just like that

Hi I have a question about the forest app, now I need to pay to access it but is it per months ? Or for life ? And does I have all features in it ?

[crude kernel]

hi everyone
So my studies are fine but I just want help regarding actually focusing and studying
I have forest apps and I watch james' livestream while studying, it works and I don't get distracted however I always end up daydreaming at some point, I'd always go "I'll just think for a bit" and that "bit" turns into ten minutes or longer and before I know it there's only five minutes left of the timer and I have to scrap and get any kind of work done so I can at least say I got something out of this session...
I wanna know if anyone knows how to deal with this any advice would be appreciated 🫠

Hi i have fomo so bad with my phone i cant delay to reply to friends so i always check my phone and spend sooo much time HELP

[sharp palm]

I suggest you read digital minimalism by cal newport, but the basic rundown of how you can escape this is realizing, that interactions via text just aren't meaningful enough to be worth your time, what would you miss by not looking at every text you get, are the instagram memes in the groupchat really that vital? Another great thing to do is deactivate notifications so you don't even think about it, you can still have certain chats that do cause notifications in most apps, so actually truly relevant messages will get through, even though, if something was actually so important you need to see it then and there, people would call you, so I have no notifications enabled, it's all blocked by multiple layers, getting over social fomo is obviously still a very hard thing, that I rarely struggled with because all my friends are autistic, one thing that sounds stupid but really helped me with impulse control and focusing on the things that matter is distinguishing passive and active thoughts, you probably know the jist, most of the time your brain kinda passively makes thoughts based on your existing beliefs and just reinforces old behavior, you should prioritize active thoughts in your considerations and try generating more to get the passive vs active ratio in your favor- keep in mind, this is just my experience and what I gathered through different books and stuff, I'm not a scientist so this is probably not all 100% scientifically accurate. Also, prioritizing your active thoughts is still very much willpower, it just helps a lot by clearing the fog of what's going on, but like all connections in your brain, the ones for behavior like resisting an urge and following through on what you said you'll do, can be strengthened by repeatedly using them.

The more you resist, the easier it gets, even if you fail, you strengened that connection, sorry for no text formatting, I was at the character limit.

thank you in advance

[solid sonnet]

breaks for me usually just consist of actually getting up from my learning environment, and doing something that brings me enjoyment - getting some snacks, doing some push ups, refilling on water, going to talk to friends/family, petting my dog, then setting my mind back up for studying once i dive back in.

just try to give your brain a short break from working by doing something that doesn't require a lot of thought

thats what i do at least

Hi guys, is anyone free rn. I need some advice regarding study techniques for an upcoming exam (it's a day later)

[gentle hawk]

feel free to type out your question/ problems, ppl here would see and give reply right off the bat

[tacit lantern]

It's a bit lengthy

Im a medical student and I have my pre annuals going on rn. I'm unsure of whether I should learn all topics in depth (helps in solving mcqs and questions if they're not from past papers but requires time and revision)
Thing is, syllabus for upcoming gynae exam doesn't look like it's that much. But I tired doing some weightage chapters of medicine (another subj) before it's exam. That I'll just do at least 60% so it'll be helpful while I'm preparing for proffs but I couldn't revise and recall or look at the scneerios of those topics so I forgot them during the test. Then, during the next exams, I did past papers like as good as I could but I could solve the questions that were from there but mcqs and if somehow they gave another question, it was hard to solve.
And I did some complete topics of surgery for the exam that was yesterday but I didn't have the time to do past papers or the remaining topics so it was 50/50 too
Like two questions, I didn't see in past papers and I couldn't solve them because I hadn't done in depth learning of topics and skilled those that weren't in Past papers.
Completing whole topics gives me confidence boost that I'll be able to solve mcqs and seqs too but it takes a lot of time and needs revision
But I don't have the time right now
Theres some mcq past papers too but my mind just says that's all on chance and if its out of the past papers, obv I won't be able to solve it
So I'm torn on what to do and I already wasted half the day today

And I'll have about 2-5 more days on actual proff preps so I kind of need to just prepare somehow for three remaining two exams that are on Friday and Thursday but I'll learn in depth afterwards so idk if I should just go for that right now too or what

[pale trout]

I'm 16 and I haven't had a proper education for over 5 years now, I don't know what to do. All I've been doing is random courses on khan academy, I don't even know If I'm doing the right thing.

[gentle hawk]

have you tried asking your department's lecturers, or senior opinions about this?

does it really need in-depth knowledge to solve the problem

[tacit lantern]

Talking about past papers in front of professors is forbidden fr

And one of the seniors said to do the past papers only first like even the questions, just ditto learn them

The other said to do complete topics first and then go for past papers to test my knowledge of the already learnt whole topics and do whatever is extra in past papers. Because the professors are unpredictable

So both opinions just contradict each other ☠️

[gentle hawk]

from my experience,

I think you have a lot to learn, and it is overwhelming rn, is that right?

[tacit lantern]

Yep kinda

For the time being, I'll have more time later on

[gentle hawk]

well I just have to say

stop thinking and start doing what the most urgent and important

there not much time left for min maxing right?

I remember I was in the same spot as you

At that time, I dont have much past paper to revise

but in your case

I really recommend study the whole topic while comparing with the past paper

[tacit lantern]

Alright, thanks! I'll try to give this a go

[gentle hawk]

gud luck 2 u then

[stiff quarry]

hello any one knew about c in vscode why is it not working

[burnt sparrow]

[scarlet fog]

try waking up a few hours before everybody else or studying late when everyone has slept
might help

[dark finch]

Thanks diya 🌷

[ashen sorrel]

how to get your attention span back? I know I don't have ADHD but have developed the symptoms probably due to my video game addiction

[burnt sparrow]

in my case i was strugglin with the same problem, i think this dont have one solution best to other, its depend of each person and your ambitions, in my case i uninstall windows and switch to linux ( arch ), video games are really relationated with content on youtube ( i still use, with extension for remove this endless loop feed trash content), twitch and social media, i deleted my accounts and apps, in the beggining is extream but ofc your ambition determinate your actions so, for me this the correct path to do, other recomendation is your enviroment, for me one incentive to play is my mousepad so i remove it table, i do other stuff but the main conclusion is every day reduce this bad inputs that incentive your brain to play, is not the day to the nigth but you got this if you want, gl!

[ashen sorrel]

Thank you for that very detailed answer! Definitely helped! ❤️🙏

[hushed galleon]

Where James been lately man.. I miss his tech vlogs

[young umbra]

hope you're getting better now

[crude yarrow]

I have my biggest exam of life in 3 months from now. Before that we have pre exams of that exams which are like hell and pre exams are in 20 days. I am trying to go all out for james scholz schedule of waking up early asap. Is there any tip you would like to give me for these crucial 3 months and maybe 20 days. Maybe focus tips, How to not use instagram in this period (deactivating and sticking to it) and talking about my tasks like in how much time should I assign myself task

like in per 3 days task or weekly one's

[gentle hawk]

just simply make clear of your goal or result you want to get from the exam and stay determined with it, you have to consider your goal as a matter of need, not just regular task

and then do as much as possible to reach that goal

[eternal mason]

Hey people, I have a problem

But I am not sure if people would like to.read me trauma dump for paragraphs on paragraphs on here

Is this the right place to ask?

[hearty wedge]

yeah this is fine.

[west apex]

@patent juniper

[patent juniper]

YES?

[west apex]

am I not allowed to disturb you randomly ;))

morning hair looks good btw

gl for today

[eternal swift]

is it only me or ai checkers are giving me trust issues

I don't use anything yet it checks it as 70% and up :,) what am I doing wrong

[young umbra]

AI can barely draw hands right

Relax, dont take it too seriously

[eternal swift]

Yeah, it's just giving me a hard time esp since my grade relies on it. Formal papers are so hard to write without it having "70%+" ai generated on it, my prof is really strict on it.

[young umbra]

Well, next time film yourself doing it manually and when he gives you crap you show him the video

I hate this honestly

Instead of teaching people to use AI to enhance their natural abilities they curb it and keep on adopting old methods

Same thing with not using calculators in math class

[eternal swift]

Actually, that's smart, I'm doing that

[eternal swift]

I agree on this, but for the calculators, I would have to disagree. The point of it is doing everything more efficiently, but there are people who rely too much on it, removing their need for critical thinking.

Well, I guess it could be the same for AI, a lot of people just see it as a way to do things easier and it will probably sooner or later lead many to be too reliant on it.

[young umbra]

add invisible charachters

or just use one of the tools which helps you bypass ai checks

[eternal swift]

Do you have any suggestions?

[young umbra]

yea i use them for essays lmao

wait a sec

do yk what checker your professor uses? @eternal swift

[eternal swift]

turnitin

[young umbra]

okay firstly get gpt to write your text in human form (put in any author and tell it to emulate his or her words)

i cant put links of the websites here

text me, il send u the ss

[eternal swift]

Oh, I added you !

[young umbra]

Natural selection tbh

Many there are who cant calculate 15% of 100 in their head, despite having finished HS

oof

You cant expect them to easily reach high positions

brutal

But they will survive

hows your day been p

[young umbra]

I just had a fantastic shoulder-forearm day at the gym

Will bulk some carbs and protein and then study for some 4h before sleep

Wbu

4 hours straight?

wow i wish i had your attention span

[young umbra]

Think of it as a muscle

You train it

You condition it

It gets stronger

It was not too long ago when studying 50min straight was basically a martyrdom

okay my biggest issue is that

i overestimate the work i can do in 2 hour then plan accordingly

and when im like 20 minutes in and realize that "omg this is too much, i wont be able to finish it"

i leave midway

then procastinate

the entire day

[young umbra]

Dont

Do what you can in those 2 hours

1. you want to send a message to your brain that your word is to be kept

2. only with experience will you be able to properly judge the amount of work you can do

Besides, once you get to a certain level, the output you are capable of increases

[young umbra]

yea thats true, earlier i had basic subjects like maths and physics and i could make perfect schedules but now

its complicated and advanced

so im not used to this difficulty

thank you for your help bro! @young umbra

[young umbra]

You are a man

[young umbra]

power through

God put in you a brain capable of working up a way to conquer the skies and stars

[young umbra]

holy fuck

Its really only a matter of "ok, I dont know how to do this, let me try to find out until I discover a way to do this"

okay sir i won't disappoint you

[young umbra]

It aint me playa

Its God's will that you should become your absolute hypothetical best

real

thank you, i needed this cuz ive been slacking off lately

ima nap and then wake up and work properly

[static shale]

Hii i was wondering if anyone had tips on how to stay of your phone when studying? I feel like i’ve tried almost everything and can’t seem to stay off 😭

also how to study longer? Thanks!

[young umbra]

Hello Jelly

It really helps if you uninstall stuff and put your phone away

[static shale]

I usually will uninstall insta and i’ve learned to just never have tt on my phone

but still find ways to doom scroll on almost anything 😭

[young umbra]

Then the problem runs deeper

Its in you, not in your phone

You are running away from your tasks

Next time that happens, stop, quiet down and try to find out why

Ask yourself that

[static shale]

wow i never thought of it from that perspective

I will definitely be doing that from now

thank you so much!

[young umbra]

🙏

[patent juniper]

[final laurel]

What do you guys think would result from me doing as many past papers for math before my exam? What should I do after each past paper? Same with Physics/Chemistry?

[true forge]

what yall do when your mental health is getting worse and worse?

[young umbra]

get off the web and play football on the beach

[young umbra]

Find out whats happening and address it

[true forge]

i dont think web is problem here but yea i think i should spend more time doing something other than studying

[young umbra]

wow your mental health got worse off studying?

damn i need to get to studying but i cant stop

procastinating

[true forge]

yes

[young umbra]

like if its 11:28 am, il procastinate and be like might as well start at 12 noon

and then before i know it, the entire day is gone

[true forge]

have you ever did the 123 trick?

it works for me

[young umbra]

whats that

[true forge]

https://sseanpk.medium.com/what-is-the-123-method-b92b79068b22

the article is for sleeping but it works for procrastination too

[young umbra]

so basically get up

and count to 3

and get a little blood flow going

[storm imp]

any computer science major here?.. need some important guidances (im in 1st year). please dm me if you are free for a bit

[true forge]

If you do not make that decision within three seconds, your subconscious kicks in and tells you all the reasons why you should be sleeping procrastinating so it’s best just to get it out of the way.

this worked for me idk if it will work for you

[young umbra]

oh

alr thanks ima try that the next time i find myself being a little bitch

[young umbra]

yeah what's up

[final laurel]

i have 1 week until my exams start, i got 10 exams. can anyone help with recommending how i can study in this week of time, i dont know what to do cause we still have school up until exams

[woven wing]

I am the same situation however my exams have already started. I have my GCSE mocks rn so I started revising in order of tests and after 3/4 tests I would go back to the closest exam and revise that while doing a past paper or so for the other 3-4 a day. If what appears in school is not appearing in your exam then I wouldn’t listen tbh as u can learn that after ur exam. I had flashcards out in class instead of doing work before exams so school had some form of productivity. Also use ur break and lunch times to look over content, learn content if u need or teach content to ur friends as it helps u revise

[hushed sapphire]

what i do is 1,2,3 oh okay im going back to sleep

[hushed sapphire]

i pray for u

[final laurel]

thanks bro, ill try that out

[true forge]

Count till 5 seconds /j

[young umbra]

does anybody know if doko will be a free

[young umbra]

Feel ya, I’m with the exact same problem

how to get team id for room form

or i can write it any number

[young umbra]

Hi guys, for those who have switched to dumb phones, I was wondering what you do with the extra time. I did and currently feel kind of lost on what to do to replace the time I used to mindlessly scroll and consume content.

[woven wing]

U can do work, workouts or simply remain bored. Boredom isn’t bad
