[oblique silo]

I need some tips that helps to relax after Long day in school.

[young umbra]

what do you usually do

[oblique silo]

I usually run some quick 6 miles but that doesn't help

I tried drinking tea but that doesn't help

I tried sleeping that Turns over my sleep schedule

Tried cold shower

Any help?

[young umbra]

relaxing isnt just doing something or doing nothing, its also a state of mind

you need to "turn on relax mode"

are you still thinking about work and study stuff while trying to relax?

[oblique silo]

Yeah sometimes

[young umbra]

gotta take your mind off of it

[oblique silo]

And then ?

[young umbra]

that is already good enough

if you turn on "relax mode", and do basically anything that doesnt tire you, that is already good enough

some people like reading, some people like watching stuff, or having a deep conversation

I personally love going to the gym to clear my head

it varies

[dire bramble]

I need help, ill literally do anything to be able to train 8 hours a day but like bro idk if its genetic but literally for the past year i can only train 4 hours a day and if I go anything more than that I get burntout. Like I play in tournaments whenever I get top 32 (with 300 entrants in the tourney) my enitre brain gets fried. Like how can I trained mental endurance. Like bro idk what to do pls help

[young umbra]

there is something called overtraining

[dire bramble]

I know

And thats bad

[young umbra]

yeah

[dire bramble]

Which will make me have to train less to over train

[young umbra]

you cure it by not training as much

idk if thats your case

[dire bramble]

So how do you build that up to 8 hours?

[young umbra]

but 8h a day of physical exercise is insane

[dire bramble]

Nah nah nah not physical sprry

I mean mental

Like

Gaming

Fighting games specifically

James scholz is able to studdy 10 hours thats alot of mental

[young umbra]

lmao wth man

[dire bramble]

But my mental stamina is trash compared to his and I dont understand why and I want to understand why

[young umbra]

games are supposed to be fun tho

if you have to force yourself to game, is it really worth it?

[dire bramble]

?

Why do you think im forcing myself to train

I want to train and play

To go pro

[young umbra]

is it fun?

[dire bramble]

Yes

Its fun

Im not suffering lmao

[young umbra]

then why are you having a hard time doing it?

idc about the answer

but do answer that to yourself

[dire bramble]

Im having a hard time being able to play for a longer period of time

Playing it isnt hard

Just building stamina to play it longer is what im having trouble with

[young umbra]

honestly that sounds weird, and thats coming from someone that almost went pro aswell

but ig just keep playing and building it up with time

same as you would with physical training or studying or whatever

[dire bramble]

Thank you for the advice, I appreciate it

[young umbra]

although if you need to force it, I'd think about it with more care

[dire bramble]

Thanks lol

But nah i dont force it

I "want" to play

As much

As i possibly can

But my mind idk just cant or I dont understand how to do it yet

One day I will figure it out

[young umbra]

how old are you if I may ask

[dire bramble]

Im 20

I dont mind :3

I want to be the best player in the world

And

Everyone thats the best trains for 8 hours a day

Im at 4. :/

Sucks

So hopefully I can figure it out

[young umbra]

what game

[woven wing]

This seems like a rly unhealthy thing from my perspective

When u play at that level the game becomes boring after a while

[dire bramble]

Brawlhalla

[dire bramble]

Well I think burnout is unhelathy

But i love training

And you cant get good if u dont train

So

To me thats like saying its unhealthy for james scholz to study for 10 hours a day when he may think otherwise

[young umbra]

studying at least gives you real life stuff in return tho with all due respect

[woven wing]

Studying for 10 hours is healthy

Gaming and frying ur dopamine is not

U can’t make the comparison

[young umbra]

cool takes, brother

[dire bramble]

Wow

You guys are actually real people

[woven wing]

?

[dire bramble]

I respect yalls advice thanks alot

[woven wing]

Np I guess

Yh health is the state of physical and mental well-being

Studying for 10 hours only affects the physical aspect however James workout and stuff trained for marathon so he takes care of his physical health

Gaming is bad for both. U cannot rly help ur mental well-being as much as physical.

[dire bramble]

I also workout

Physically

While training

And eat a pretty good diet

[woven wing]

Alr it’s my bedtime now so I gotta go.

Cya G

[dire bramble]

Have a nice night ;3

[woven wing]

Yh I had to get like 4 hours today for an exam

[final laurel]

hey everyone, is it a thing to not have to really 'study' for end of year exams but just do light revision? I was wondering if its possible to learn from the start of the learning year and absorb it and only need light revision or reminders towards the end of the year, like just always studying? I start grade 10 next year and I want to actually study for my exams but cant find a way to do these 'normal' study sessions like pomodoro etc. I'd get 50%-90% on my exams depending on subjects without studying but I'd like to become a straight A student. Im also really bad at time management and I want to find a replacement for doom scrolling but i think ill start a new hobby for that.

[gentle hawk]

it really goes down to what is your goal in studying tbh

if u just want to finish schools, then you dont have study much tbh

but if you want to be a straight A

u gotta be proactive

but being a straight A is just a goal when u at school,

what about your goal when you are no longer student?

[final laurel]

wow man thats good, im gonna think about this for a while

[hot terrace]

what rank are you man

[dire bramble]

Peak 2651 last season

2504 peak this season

[rare spade]

bro

this is a good thing

study everyday a bit and genuinely

when its exam szn u wont lose ur shit cuz ur underprepared

i nvr studied during exams i js chilled and did light revision

[woven wing]

I recommend starting of consistent with 20 minutes or so on ur subject. For me I have 11 subjects so I spend 20 minutes on each science and maths and each weekend I wil focus on another subject such as computer science. Then as u get closer to the exam add to ur studying time. I personally 2-3 months before my exam start having dedicated weeks to a subject where I would put my all into it for 7 days and then move on. Also if u can’t pomodoro then just work for long and then whenever ur struggling to do ur work or get rly distracted take a break. I usually give advice on my laptop since I can properly reread messages and articulate myself better so apologies for any mistakes or misunderstandings, don’t usually send messages this large on phone.

[young umbra]

Starting a new hobbie is good
but u still need to get rid of the doom scrolling too , the problem with doom scrolling is that it is easily accessible so u need to either download app to block apps or even delete the apps that ur wasting ur time on , even if it is a hard decision to delete a social media remember always what is good for u

[strong saddle]

reall

[magic lodge]

I have less than two weeks to complete the syllabus for 6 subjects, and the past exams have really affected my confidence lol. It's like I think I have understood the stuff, but in exam mind goes blank

[sharp palm]

Doom scrolling is hard to get over, I genuenly just replaced it with reading (100% legitimatly purchased) pdf‘s on my phone, I just read digital minimalism and deep work both in around, maybe less than a month. KOreader is imo great and I love it and just using it motivated me to read more. I also (literally yesterday) started using an old ass kindle paperlike I found in an old drawer to disconnect my phone from learning and reading. Reading is obv. not an amazing hobby but it‘s a billion times better than using any other media on your phone. I reduced youtube watching from an estimated 9-11 hrs a day minimum to once or twice a week for 10 minutes. (Side note this was insane for my sleep since reading is harder than just inserting slop into my head so I am fixing my sleep rn and it feels amazing)

Also if my tenth grade is your tenth grade you are very smart.

[hot terrace]

goddamn

ur insane bro

[final laurel]

@rare spade @woven wing @young umbra @sharp palm genuinely just want to say thanks a bunch, obviously this year is almost over so I cant do the consistent bits of studying everyday. Right now im gonna try focus on my exams, mainly math, physics, IT, and 1 of my languages. Ill start reading again cause I used to but social media ruined it, ill also try studying as much as I can when I can, not overly forcing myself to, and im starting to adjust to a new sleep schedule of around 8-9pm to 4am ish. idk what tenth grade is for you but im 15 and start tenth when im 16. thanks a lot, ill be back with news end of next year <3

[final laurel]

🙏 no worries with any mistakes

[young umbra]

gl bro hopefully u will do great

[sharp palm]

I hope you achieve whatever goal you have! 9pm - 4 am is kind of unhealthy though, I would say do atleast 8 hours, which 8-4 technically is, but keep in mind you'll not be sleeping instantly when you go to bed and you'll not sleep perfectly all night every night, but whatever gets you started gets you started and I am happy you're able to adopt such a radical schedule, good luck!

You're on an insanely good trajectory and yes, our 10 grade are about the same, mine is at age 15, so 11 is 16.

[ember chasm]

Does anyone know what types of exam questions are there for teaching schools/degrees? I am wondering like what the question types are?

[tranquil barn]

Hey everyone, I'm studying auditing and after getting straight B for a semester, I decided to go all in by spending 10+ hours a day for weeks. Sadly, i just got the result and nothing changed. I really don't know what to do anymore. Anyone has any advice to get As?

[shut nexus]

Hi, I'm 24. I have "2" jobs and one business, I work in "call center" from home but I only do emails. My recently second "job" is to teach English in my mom's school in the afternoons twice a week (I live in DR and we speak Spanish here). And I started a business of teaching basic English to kids on Saturday Mornings. I basically want to grow my English business to teens and maybe have private clases with adults in order to quit my job and don't depend on it anymore. Since I'm earning more money I started to build my pc in which I want to learn programming and video editing. I want to use those skills to maybe create another business around it. Any tips on how to manage time to do it or any tips in general?

[dire bramble]

thx ;3

[random aspen]

I really want to know the best way to remember stuff even if you aren't being tested on it

[shut nexus]

Remember words or concepts?

[random aspen]

Concepts

[willow estuary]

Has anyone here ever taken pre calc and chemistry in the same semester?

[gentle hawk]

shorten it as much as possible with keywords, test it, attach it with real examples, repetition and connect it with other concepts

[random aspen]

thanks!

[eternal swift]

Yeah 😂😂 That's me currently, It's a pain

At the start of the sem I was like, okay okay this is bearable but the more lessons start coming in, the more I realize I need to manage my time well because it's so time consuming to learn all the needed formulas and concepts esp if you don't have a good existing foundation from your lower level years

[hushed sapphire]

just use library

they have libby iirc

[woven wing]

How do I get rid of the venting channel?

[uneven prawn]

how do u deal with hard teachers?

[young umbra]

what font is this?

[fringe wedge]

Big gulp

[eternal swift]

What is your definition of a "hard" teacher?

[eternal swift]

Maybe Cambria?

[lofty hearth]

Hey I need help with making a timetable?

[mental acorn]

Hello, how do u read manga on ur e-readers? I have just bought boox go 10.3

[subtle adder]

Does anyone know the difference betwen the zen planner undated and zen planner 2024. Im asking since 2024 version but has more pages. And is also cheaper :0

[oblique silo]

What's zen planner ?

[real notch]

hi guys if any of you are feeling down remember that God cares for you and has a plan for your life. Jesus loves you have a nice day

[uneven prawn]

like just marks hard, teaches weird and is just a pain

[eternal swift]

🤔 I have a teacher like that and he's aware of how hard he is on students. His famous phrase is, "learn to love what you hate." Basically telling you, you js gotta power through it 😂😂 "Being all whiny about it won't get you anywhere, give it your all maybe then youd find yourself at ease in my subject."

[sterile crag]

Anyone know whats the best way to utilise time in class is? All my teachers only teach stuff i either already know about, or some go off topic the entire lesson which affects my grade

[woven wing]

If u already know about it and 100% sure u know then just bring questions or flashcards with u to do thru the class. Listen in case but don’t take notes

[uneven prawn]

yea i understand tat but im final year in HS where marks matter and this dude is so hard while an other teacher is so easy and giving out free 90s so unis are gonna consider those studentes more

[young umbra]

General question I had in mind. I have some friends who are veterans (Afghan Tours) coming back post-service to get their degree (Mechanical) and I noticed that their time management skills are off the charts.

What skills do you all think they embody that helps them?

I put in about 100 hours a week into work and I still feel like I don't do things in time

[eternal swift]

Similar situation, im on my second to the last, i only have 2/6 teachers who mark high and the unis in my country look at 7-11th grade. It's not really in your control nor can you do anythin about it so all i can givebyou issa goodluck fam

[cobalt gate]

I guess it's the qualities they grasped in the military, especially since they had been deployed and thus had learnt how to handle tasks carefully but also at a speed pace.

How do you see that they're time management skills are good, like what have you seen special that they have done?

[mental kernel]

guys i need some tips on getting my life together, i can't stick to aschedule and i struggle with discipline and my whole routine is messed up, any tips that can help me get it together?

[edgy galleon]

hmmm

No

[rose heath]

How do I balance my studies when I wake up at 5am to shower until 5:30 and then take the bus to school at 6am and study from morning to evening, 6am take the bus to my house to eat and shower and then at 7am I want to I study martial arts while studying English and Chinese and reading books to review old lessons at school?

[weary raft]

take baby steps honestly we all are just figuring out ourselves. Some routines are bound to fail so i guess there's something wrong with the routine itself. Then if we consider you are the reason your schedule is failing then it might be your physical health like workout and meditate to make your mind clearer. Nobody can make you do it you just have to do it

[young umbra]

I remember james said he was filming a movie

Is it gonna come out

[young umbra]

What I have observed from my friends is that their assignments are completed in an orderly fashion while they also have time to do other things (personal project, music, gym, clubs)

And also they don't tend to sacrifice much sleep

[young umbra]

You shower for 30 mins?

[rose heath]

I include personal hygiene, wash my face, brush my teeth, prepare my clothes and catch the bus at 6am

[cobalt gate]

??

In which video?

Because that might have been implying the day in a life videos he has made.

[young umbra]

Im pretty sure it was the interview with reysu

[cobalt gate]

The podcast?

I haven't seen that podcast.

[young umbra]

This

It was pretty recent so it could be upcoming

[cobalt gate]

Oh.

I see.

[young umbra]

So was the movie scrapped?

[cobalt gate]

Not sure.

I haven't seen it.

So far I know that he's been working with a co worker named Eric building a new app and that he's living in a van.

So possibly it's been held off.

[young umbra]

Yh
Its called doko right?

[cobalt gate]

Yeah.

[young umbra]

You can prepare the clothes the night before as well 🙂

[rose heath]

10:50 i go to sleep and more and more reading book

I want to develop health and stability

[arctic swift]

[oblique silo]

What's the zen planner for?

[willow estuary]

omygosh, literally same

I'm barely surviving

math has never been my strong suit, and chemistry is going way too fast for me

good luck to you!

i was asking bc i wanted to see if anyone had tips

because up until now ive never needed to study

[eternal swift]

I get what you mean, Im trying my best rn aswell. Goodluck to you too! I think the main tip is don't study it all at once 💀💀 that'd be too much

[willow estuary]

yeah i realized its really easy to get overwhelmed, so if i make that mistake im screwed

[eternal swift]

Yeahp, 😂😂 but I'd say I'm doing well for now, hbu?

[willow estuary]

thats great!

im struggling lowkey, i keep going from a C to a B

and then back to a C

for both classes, it was way essier at first but its too much now, but its ok bc i still havent given up😭

[eternal swift]

That's good to know, determination is key!! Do you wanna be friends? 😂 I have e books that might help you for pre cal and as for genchem, all I can do os share your pain BHAHAHAHA

[willow estuary]

LOL THATS SO REAL

[arctic swift]

[manic heart]

[true forge]

Is there any guide on how to apply space repetition?

[young umbra]

why?

[fickle edge]

What is an academic probation?

[hearty wedge]

You're not doing well in your classes, so your school gives an official warning that you must get caught up or else you'll be expelled from the college.

It goes permanently on your transcript, although in some universities, if you can fix yourself, they don't include it in your transcripts.

[shy ivy]

ah

guys
i realised i'm addicted to video games, youtube, and instagram
i mean i got out of it before but it's all back
what should I do?
i have finals in a week
i've studied a bit of it

[young umbra]

delete the video games and the instagram
and idk what u watch on yt
but if shorts just use blockerhero to block it on ur phone
and if it was just watching long videos and u dont need yt while u r studying just block tha app
and you could also use the extension unhook on chrome for yt
to remove shorts , recommended videos & ( alot of options i cant remember)

[shy ivy]

but what if its videos about like self improvement and just funny relaxing stuff to relieve stress, which turns into hours of watch time

nice username btw

[young umbra]

i said delete bec i do that when i realise that i dont want to continue a cycle of trying not to play or force myself not to play
bec there will be time wasted so deleting is just an end for it

[young umbra]

same here for the pfp

[shy ivy]

🫡

[shy ivy]

ur right

but on insta i also text friends

[young umbra]

yeah ofc self improvement videos are good to watch
but not when u r going to study
like ofc u can watch them , but not while studying
like choose a time to watch them if u want but not while studying

[young umbra]

ig if there was no whatsapp
then just use blockerhero too , it blocks instagram reels

[shy ivy]

but i start watching them beforehand

and then i keep watching

and watching

and watching

to no end

[young umbra]

then just block yt until u finsih ur exams
the self improvement videos are good but they are not good while leaving what u r supposed to do to watch them

[rare spade]

delete it

like straight up delete it

and if u feel the urges

js use it on the web

[shy ivy]

but sometimes i need it for studies

[shy ivy]

hmm u right

[young umbra]

then block it onn ur phone and use unhook extension on chrome to make the home page blank like this and then when u open yt u will have to search for what u want and wont waste time watching random recommended videos

[shy ivy]

bet

thanks

[young umbra]

ur wlcm

[jagged harness]

oh my god i use an extension like this...

james himself suggested one and i have been using that

its such a game changer

[slate herald]

thanks alot for this

[young umbra]

there are alot of extensions to help , even with blocking websites

[young umbra]

agreed

Hello guys I’m trying to put an overlay showing YouTube chat in obs using streamelements but when I test the overlay by typing in the chat the overlay shows nothing

[hearty wedge]

hello y'all

[errant juniper]

guys i currently cant focus on studies .any tips that can make me more focused while studying ?

[queen bison]

For me focus is easy but doing it for multiple hours makes my brain tired, trying to figure out ways to reduce brain fatigue, if anyone studies/work for long focused hours pls share how u recharge after that

But, here are some few things that help and work for me

• start studying before any cheap dopamine inducing activity, like youtube shorts or similar thing like tiktok, movies/series/ video games

• use timers, when I don't use timers it feels like i can just get up at any time and do whatever.. But with timers and telling myself i'll do 60 mins, I fight till the end

• figure out what ur gonna do before starting to study, maybe u'll study chapter X or 2nd module of a course or whatever u need to do during this focus time

• most important is your environment. The opposite of a focused person is? a distracted person. Figure out the usual distractions whether it's your phone or family noises or urges and find a way to remove them or wake up in a time when everyone is asleep.
  Make your environment as suitable as possible for studying or working, optimize it as much as you can, reduce clutter on your desk or sit somewhere calm in a corner where u cant see ur bed or anything distracting

• another important tip visualize or imagine yourself during the study session and after the study session seeing what you accomplished, the weight of that chapter is gone and you'll be ready to study one more chapter or you're done for today and can play or watch a movie or go out etc. Guilt free.

• If u want to start studying after playing video game or watching a movie, u have to do something that removes the stimulated state you're in because of what you've done. Like a 15 mins walk or meditation or deep breathing etc.

There are some other things that work for me but the message will be too long and i think these are the most important

[errant juniper]

yo thx. 1st point makes so much sense now. that was the reason i couldn't study at all. will try to go for walk to destimulate my brain before studying 🙏

[queen bison]

Np, I think I also missed the point of drinking a lot of water then having a ritual like making tea or coffee, which are essentials for me alongside the removing distractions.

Rituals like making tea or coffee or playing specific music make ur mind connect studying with the ritual, will be easier to tap into studying with time

I don't succeed 100% all the time in this, but when I do focus becomes natural

[rare spade]

yonro bhaiya? ☠️

[errant juniper]

😭

[young umbra]

im going to be traveling for a function for about a month, i never really studied when i traveled for family events but i got exams coming up right after i come back home so any tips on how to handle attending family events plus studying?

[swift cape]

Work for your family business imo. If they'll pay you fairly though, if you're working 12h a day for room and 3 meals, it ain't worth it. Learn the business then open a second location or get more customers so you guys get more money.

[swift cape]

I'm the opposite. The best thing for me is to not touch the phone at all until I do my pomodoros. I'd get too stimulated otherwise or play 5h of games then be too sleepy to work

[queen bison]

you replying to the last point tho? 👀 because I agree 100%

But if I game or watch movies and I really have to study I have to do something less exciting first, like a walk or meditation to be able to start studying + and also use coffee/tea

The best thing for me is to start before doing anything stimulating like phones or movies or games

What games do you usually play? 👀

[swift cape]

Right now, nothing. I'm more addicted to youtube. Fallout 4 and world of warcraft were horribly addictive. My most recent games were hogwarts legacy and forspoken haven't touched them in months cause I don't really like them/too early in the game to get addicted.

[long verge]

can someone help me with chem

wanna kms rn

i hv a test tmrw on e configs

[queen bison]

I heard WoW had nice scenes for chilling, but never tried it. I also stopped gaming for a month or so trying to get my life together but i'ma start playing a childhood video game again (AOE II) to relax 😄 I think youtube addiction for me is less now, not completely gone, but my current addiction is watching series

[queen bison]

maybe ask in #science-help tho, without cutting your words so ppl understand what u mean : P sry can't help, I do CS, last time took chemistry was in highschool

[swift cape]

Don't ever play wow. When it was popular, it was life ruining for a lot of people

[queen bison]

I think I get what you mean 😄 Clash of Clans was like WoW for me

So were shooter games, used to play like 6-8-10 hours and not getting bored

[swift cape]

That's how it was for me too

I saved money cause movie + popcorn or going out to eat is $$$ vs $15 subscription a month but damn

[queen bison]

I'm now fully using Linux both on my PC and laptop just so i make it harder to play windows games

[swift cape]

Cold turkey app does a damn fine job at it. It hurt to spend $40 but it's effective at blocking sites and programs.

[queen bison]

I think apps for me won't work I used DF Tube and changed DNS to one that treats me like a 10yo kid disabling youtube comments etc, and I just manually reverse it again

I had to sit by myself and journal about the reasons why I need to stop watchin too much youtube

External barriers make it harder but they don't work for me personally

Have to do the internal self-talk

[swift cape]

That's good

[wind flax]

I am currently in 10th grade (India). I really need help with my career. I think I can do CA but I will miss my college life. I think neet is good for me but by the time i become a doctor I think I’ll be old. I like algebra and since I read that jee is 30-40% algebra I want to do it too but after coming to know that 20 lakh+ students will enrol but the same seats will be there in the near future I don’t think I can do it + I think I am bad at math and get burned out easily. I really do not know what should I do with my life rn. What after boards?

[blazing dune]

Bro focus on your 10th grade now afterthat if you have to persue jee or neet just make your basics good

[spice pine]

Do whatever you want. But pick one and stick to it

[gentle hawk]

I will say do what you feel aspired to do

try experiencing new things actively

[weary raft]

how to study inorganic chemistry without eventually feeling sleepy and end up js reading it passively like without making any progress

[gentle hawk]

I feel that tbh

Making no progress at all while you're doing sth

[weary raft]

so...do you have a way to avoid that?

[gentle hawk]

yeah it's time to get exercise or do something relaxing

after you finish your refreshment

Come back to it

[weary raft]

it's so boring my monkey brain just want to skip it. Its all stuff to memorise

[gentle hawk]

your brain is just feeling overloading

listen to it and leave your paper aside for a moment

rearrange your thought

refresh your energy

Then comeback to it with a fresh mind

[weary raft]

i guess you are right
i keep getting distracted after every 30-40 min

[gentle hawk]

it happens to me all the time

whenever I run nto complicating things

and I just need a fresh mind to handle it seamlessly

[weary raft]

hahaha I get ya
2 days ago same thing happened when I was studying rotational motion for like 4 hrs continuously I kept getting brainfarts

[gentle hawk]

yooo that's insane man

good study

Read self growth books, not only read understand it some YouTubers will make you understand it , self growth books involving habits , finance and some other topics whatever you get most connected to like maybe CA stream, in 10th class make sure to improve your skills, skills like some activities that help you in future, it can be even as simple as learning new language or learning what a mutual fund is, academics and non academics skill should be your higher priority because in college you might not get much time, try to observe people and reading psychology trust me it will help you a lot in college and life (snakes are everywhere) . Test yourself most of the times we are bad at things because we cannot understand from some teachers, i have realized most of the time i used to blame others but in the end when i did not put efforts from my side how come i blame others. Things must be hard in order for you to face challenges in future so if you focus on these things with academics in 10th class, keep yourself busy super busy daily, my brother did this and is in google right now , trust me you will become a great person in future

Hey do u guys have any courses videos or advice on how to actually study? All i do is reread my notes but my grades have been struggling a bit

[river cedar]

Hi! I am interested in studying bachlors of Computer Science from Malaysia as an international student.

But upon research the duration of course is 3 years + 4months of internship.

As its not meeting the standard duration of bachlors which is 4 years, my parents are saying doing 3 years of btech can hinder ur job seeking process in future as 3 years btech has lesser value.

I did come across that if I make a great project or back it by 1 year of work or get high GPA , i will be equivalent to 4 year degree btech student. But these are **ideal cases🥸 ** (if i will work hard ofc i can but still)

is the risk worth the take? or shall i proceed with 4 years btech instead of 3 years btech?

Thank you for reading!🌸

[wind flax]

IMO Dont make notes as your answers try and make questions as your notes and answer those questions

Jimmy touched on some pretty interesting concepts of gamification. In one of his recent videos he shows a game controller and a retroid pocket 2 that he uses for anki. What other ways do you guys use gamification methods for learning? The obvious ones like minecraft, duolingo and anki are already well known to me.

[uneven portal]

Hello guys, i wanna ask about something, when you feel tired after but haven't finished your schedule yet, did you keep studying until you finished your schedule or skip your today's schedule?

[young umbra]

do what i can till my sleeping time , ruining ur sleep schedule for finishing some tasks will be just a mess
the unfinished tasks could be done in any other day

[uneven portal]

What about, you still haven't finished your yesterday's schedule, did you push yourself to finish the previous day's task today?

[young umbra]

yeah but the day has an end , and u cant be always finishing the tasks u scheduled , so it's normal to have a bad day and it will be worse if u just ruined another day by not sleeping well
and u have to be flexible and learn from ur mistakes , like if i did procrastinate yesterday using my phone i could just turn it off the next day so i wont be wasting another day

[uneven portal]

But i always feel guilty every time I don't complete my task, do you know how to fix it? I'm a college student, and i also want to learn some skills outside the college subject, but i feel like i don't have enough time for it and sometimes, after I make a schedule for it, there's always a new assignment from my classes

[young umbra]

see for me being consistent is much better than being perfect as i was before like u and much worse in the schedule thing , i would feel guilty for not finishing yesterday's schedule so i would add to today's schedule and it wasn't helping it was just me adding more pressure on myself and ofc not accepting that iam not perfect and i dont have that energy to finish that much tasks in one day

so the key is just be real with yourself and know how much u can handle per day , dont make the perfect schedule , like be aware that u could waste sometime in using ur phone , procrastinating , not waking up on the time u want , that's all normal things that could happen but the point is to keep going along the day and sticking with a sleep schedule so u dont ruin the next day
and ofc to accept the result at the end of the day like if u finished 1/3 tasks , dont just feel bad and guilt and not sleep until u make it 2/3 or finish all of them , this will just be like ruining the next day and ofc u wont be doing the tasks with full focus bec u r tired at the end of the day
so at the end of the each day , accept the result and reflect , know what went good , what went bad , and what u have got to do for tommorow so u wont repeat any mistakes , and even if u repeat some it's still ok but keep trying to stop the loop

and for the learning skills outside the college subject , dont make it as a priority , like do it as a hobby and put it over the uni classes , like if u didnt havee time to learn it along the week , it's not bad u r not losing anything unlike uni u will lose marks , so add it as a task when u feel like u can handle it along the uni

[uneven portal]

Okay, i got the point now. thanks for your advice, i will remember to focus on my sleep and my college subjects first, thank you so muchhh🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

[young umbra]

ur wwlcm & good luck !

Crypto is complete scam, better to invest in properties , a small land can give you so much profit, real estate is the most stable buisness until natural disasters woop it lol

[dawn lintel]

completely scam?

i don't think so

You can still get the money from this platform. The point here is that crypto is almost can not be analyzed

[young umbra]

I mean its like gambling if you have self control you can benefit

But if you invest more then sometimes the owner will empty their wallets

And people will be in big trouble , i have not lost money yet but my friends have lost a lot , like around lets say more than 1000 dollars , thats their punishment to stupidly believe in andrew tate and Logan paul

I hope you all can find some peace, pls allow yourself to rest & seek help when you feel like so. Thank you for hanging on another day. I respect you.

I uninstalled

[thorn summit]

U installed a premium mod apk?

[tight garnet]

But the talkback thingy still exists

[tight garnet]

Yep for ads

[thorn summit]

Could be some other issue. This sounds like a specific issue on ur phone model. U might have to go through all ur sound settings

[thorn summit]

If ur interested. Spotify provides discounts on premium for college students. Its cheap

Hi
I have a 2000 words assignment I need to do tonight and I got flu. I need motivation to start writing it:)
Any advice on how to get motivation?

[rich kettle]

just start

[sonic sage]

try planning out your essay first and to get a clear idea of how to start it

it really helps to start your work (or at least it does for me if i feel unmotivated)

and try not to focus too much on motivation to study. sometimes sheer grit is needed to power through

but what do you all use your journal for ? im looking for ideas so i can incoporate them into my own

[cerulean topaz]

Yeah he doesn’t have a specific journal vid but if you got to @reysu yt channel (James’ partner) he has a vid on journaling that I use

[opal wolf]

i see, better to rest and recuperate, you have to remember to do what you enjoy but also keep a healthy balance btw yourself and your job i hope your able to srot this out friend and find a new balance and compassion for your struggles 👍

Hey!

Could anyone please tell me how to categorize tabs in Sidebery Firefox extension? Like if I open Firefox, the tabs should be there categorized. If I want to go to the coding category, then I'll just click on the coding icon and select a tab. Just like how James does in the recent vid.

I saw it in James' recent vid but he didn't explain it

Hey chat!
To be honest I knew about flash cards but never used them for my studies,
Last time found a cool app on iphone only, Learnbox.

I bought lifetime subscription, can add pictures to questions and answers, make all flash cards in A4 format, to make them like real paper flash cards. Also there levels in which cards are divided according to your memorising.
What kind of functions there is I do not know, anyway.

Also if you are more experienced in learning with flash cards, please,

1. What subject do you study and how you use flash cards in your studying?

2. Do you use flash cards in combination with other techniques, methods, apps?

Thanks for attention!

[indigo wave]

anki exists

[cerulean topaz]

Xd

[young umbra]

it is not convenient and more expensive

[rich kettle]

anki is free on pcs and browser

you just have to pay for the app on phone

and even app is like 5 bucks and only have to pay once

good investment considering its usefulness

[indigo wave]

Ankidroid is free too

[woven wing]

It's like £25 😭

I might just have a huge spending spree with apps and just make my phone a dumb phone

[young umbra]

ok did not know, thanks

ok it is subjectively, i just do not like how old-fashioned anki is in design and appearance

[pearl whale]

Does any one know machine learning need help with a code.

[cunning laurel]

Hey, I'm sorry if this doesnt fit the chat, but I want the opinion of you of something I'm really confused. Is about the Academic envoriment on the tech scenario, and as I dont understand it I want your help
I live in Brazil, and I'm at the age of university, and I have pretty good university options, like, I can be aproved in 2 good universitys on Computer Science. But I also can be aproved in one of the bests universitys here, Unicamp, but on a course that I dont really want (Systems Information). I want to follow the academic path, so the computer science course would be the right choice, but I dont know if taking the best university in another course would give me the same oportunities in the academic scenario

[young umbra]

In my oppinion you should do what you really like, and what makes you happy, you can write pros and cons of each and then make a decision

[rich kettle]

I have 6 finals to study for in 2 weeks, so how should I schedule it, should i study a bit of each subject each day or do 1-3 subjects a day

[lofty gorge]

i think the most efficient would be to focus on 3 finals per week but the risk is that you might forget a bit about the 3 in the first week when your finals week starts

is there anyone btw that knows how to code in assembly?

[cloud warren]

hey, just wondering what steps people would recommend in my situation? i have a lot of work to do, but because i have so much to do, it's difficult to start a task, because i end up worrying about another. i suppose i just don't really know how to keep track of everything, and was wondering if anyone had any apps they recommend?

[wary moon]

stop thinking just dont think about anything. stop thinking about not thinking, ik you are thinking. just pick a task an easy one and start and dont stop until you complete it. you will feel good dont let that feeling make you slack off but chase that feeling again by starting another task and for gods sake dont thinkjust do it

dont be dependent on apps just use a todo list and mark everything that needs to be done in terms of priority

[cloud warren]

thank you so much for this, I really appreciate it. i will try doing that, and using a to-do list with priority

[vapid arch]

Hello I am an electrical engineer who has recently graduated(2024). I have developed a huge interest towards web development , But I have this fear that I will not be able to enter the job market. If anyone could GUIDE and TEACH me , It will be of great help
currently the skills which i poses is HTML , CSS, JavaScript (still yet to complete async) and a bit of Bootstrap

[rancid estuary]

I will suggest you to spend some time on YouTube and check the latest roadmap which freshers or entry level engineers follow

[rugged quiver]

I seen most of the roadmap, but i am not able to find sufficient project based learning resources

[rancid estuary]

o,o
Can u share the roadmap which u are going to follow?

[rugged quiver]

i have dm you

[rancid estuary]

Instead of the video,
can u just write the message like
html->css->js->some_framework

[rugged quiver]

html -> css -> js -> css framework(bootstrap) -> git/github -> node js --> mongodb --> versel(deployment) --> react

[rancid estuary]

Instead of bootstrap learn tailwind,
U can learn git/GitHub from any YouTube crash course vid

For nodejs u can go with hitesh's backend course,
And he has a react course too on utube

whaat do u do when u start doing homework ?

[summer wing]

got a english exam next wednesday and maths on next friday, how can i balance it since i need to remember my 1400 word essay and also do short answer, and i suck at maths and i wanna improve before the test, how can i balance so i can do good in both it can be tips on what to do or balance

[young umbra]

Good morning, is there anyone I can ask about comparative law?

[tepid lance]

hello, i suggest reading your essay from time to time even just for fun. read it 2 to 3 times, and just familiarize urself w the concept, not really word for word. as for math, you can start with listing down your topics, study them in order and do practice questions. i also suggest grasping the idea behind how it's done, not really just knowing the formula. 1-20 practice questions per each topic will do. i recommend mario's math tutoring in yt.\

u can balance them out to do both by switching ur review from time to time, like before u study another topic in math, make sure u grasped the first part of your essay. ( this is just how i think u'll be able to balance it, the choice is still up to you )

[tepid lance]

maybe just don't do anything for a day? i think the reason why you can't sit through something as basic as doing ur homework is because you simply don't have the will to do so. doing smth for habits and doing for school r 2 diff things so maybe ure burnt out in a way. i really suggest taking off time w socmed no matter how hard it is.

I’ve heard this one a lot but I’m not sure how to reward myself. What do you do?

[crisp apex]

Hey, how are you doing?
I want to make programming videos. Similar to how certain tech YouTubers have fun creating things or gadgets, I want to do the same but with code. I want to create intuitive programs that do something very specific. These will be videos that appeal to everyone, creating useful programs that are really cool and that enhance or improve certain tasks. Give me some ideas. For example, there was a guy who made a program that you install on your computer. With his program, if I don't create a folder called "imhere" on the desktop within 10 seconds of starting the computer, it automatically shuts down. You see, his code helps everyone. That's what I want to do—not just security codes but a bit of everything.

I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

need help

i cant seem to focus while studying from youtube cuz there are all these randoms thoughts going on in my mind, and as soon as realise that i am just talking to myself and it would be a while. Its so frustrating

and annoyring gosh

[fading crypt]

maybe dont study from youtube if thats the reason it keeps fogging ur mind

[weak leaf]

no its not the reason. youtube doesnt distract me like it does to so many ppl. its just that i tend to zoom out and then the chain of thoughts begin and its too late by the time i realise it

[woven wing]

Might be the time ur studying

[subtle bluff]

10 minute meditations whenever you feel overwhelmed

i don't believe students are unmotivated to study, it has to be from something external

you're either not sleeping enough, eating well enough, drinking water, relaxing, exercising

if any of these are out of balance, you will automatically feel umotivated to study

a good student is a person that kan keep these factors in balance

is hackintosh like linux where u js need a usb drive and an ISO and flash it onto ur pc, or do u need to build an entire system?

[young umbra]

same day as it is

[unkempt nest]

well yes but actually no, bcuz that is if u can make the iso for your particular hardware i think.. you would have to use kexts for that.. also i think its not worth it if u're doing it for native performance..

[inland knot]

need tips to concentrate on my studies.

[unkempt nest]

spaced repetition is the answer but before fixing the problem or identifying the challenges, focus on your desired outcome, visualize your success. Then, turn off your phone, find a quiet space, and eliminate distractions. Atleast try and adhere to a schedule—no excuses! Break tasks into chunks and use things like Pomodoro Technique. Zone in and engage actively with the material; read or write, but teach it. Stay fueled with healthy snacks, hydrate, and prioritize a solid sleep routine. The only easy day was yesterday—don’t dwell on what’s done; there’s always more to accomplish. If you’re short on prep time, identify the 20% of material that carries 80% of the weight and master that. It could be tough, but could save you some time & can help you clutch a passing grade. Now, get after it and stop avoiding.

[inland knot]

thanks man. preciate it

[copper wasp]

Do you currently have the possibility to download things? If so, could I send you 2 links to download the pdf?

how did james make hsi custom thinkpad?

is there a kit to make one or is the a website which shows compatible components for his laptop?

[proper valley]

generally you just ask AI or do some quick research on which components you can put in a specific motherboard

I/O & motherboard are usually the main criteria to take care for in a laptop

[copper wasp]

There is a thinkpad subreddit with a bunch of people in it that know a lot of stuff about thinkpads

[grand ember]

hey....im just another guy from India aspiring to become an online teacher for the AP exams revolving around Physics, Chem and Math since i saw the coursework very similar to what i have already studied.....Now what i wanted to ask is what are the chances the AP exams being discontinued in the upcoming years since i dont have an idea about them really cuz im a foreigner yk, so yea i was really worried that what if i dive into preparing teaching material for AP exams specifically likes notes, sheets etc. and try to build a presence online but suddenly AP exams get discontinued till i even able to get to a level lol
can anyone please advice me on that? thank you!

[wooden kayak]

i don't think they will be discontinued since it's owned by collegeboard and already is used by numerous schools and colleges

my question isnt study related

[haughty wave]

wym?

[sonic flume]

weird request but do any of you know an instagram account that inspires you to continue studying? specifically computer science but anything else works. I want to see something really inspiring to help me continue grinding

[hearty pawn]

Yo

[hearty pawn]

There was some asian jacked guy

I forgot his name

[proper valley]

The most inspiring stuff so far has been wanting a project to be good.
Implementing new features and designs from studying and solving problems it's really fulfilling when the final result makes you think "Yes, that's worthy to share".
Currently I'm intrigued in how to use coding as an art form and architecture videos like this makes me see parallels that gives me great inspiring questions.
Also finding ways your identity merges with what you're doing to find and build a purpose out of it is essential too

I suggest you to prioritize internal motivation. Learn how to love a goal (like finishing a project) and the journey (like doing the project).
External is great too but you need a baseline, and the internal one is much more consistent with that

[sonic flume]

i didn't ask for advice or a life lesson, i just wanted to find an inspiring instagram account

that's all lol

[sonic flume]

hmm, no one pops up in my mind

[sonic flume]

lmk if you remember

[proper valley]

"inspires you to continue studying" I thought it was a motivation problem :|, in any case finding parallelisms with other fields it's a great source of inspiration.
Thinking more about ideas and information learned rather than continuing learning and learning without thinking it's another great idea

[sonic flume]

all i wanted is specific social media content, what i'm gonna do with it and how is something that i'm gonna take care of myself. the reason i mentioned inspiration for studying is just so you understand what kind of content i'm looking for

no need to assume things. i never asked about motivation

[hearty pawn]

[real spire]

[cursive vessel]

hey, I just can't stop asking myself why. I look at everyone else, and everyone is working so hard towards their goals. It's not that I don't have any goals but it's just that I envy them. When I look at the people that join this server daily and study so hard and genuinely do their best everyday. Or when I look at jvsholz and how many hours of work he puts in, I can only envy them. I also want to work very hard towards something and then succeed so that it feels good. So that it feels like I deserved it or sum like that.

I have been that type of person that studies last minute and just barely passes. But now I just can't pass anymore. I have an exam tuesday and another on wednesday and they are quite difficult. It feels bad because during the whole semester I only had these two courses. I also have a part time job tomorrow so there's just no chance that I'll pass these exams. And it just feels so bad to give up without even trying.

[fierce lagoon]

does listening to static really helps focus?

[proper valley]

Even if you see them study you don't actually know if what they do is optimal. Some people need to study a lot because their study method suck (I was in there :3).

I was also the same guy that did exams last minute, even if they were important.
For me, it was because I didn't had a purpose behind what I was doing. What I was doing was detached from my personality, I was doing it because I had to.

What are the inputs you need to focus on to study/do the thing because you want to? people study until 2AM because they have big reasons behind the actions. You also need to maintain that part of your identity that would naturally do X because he'd like to anyways.

[proper valley]

Most of this stuff is subjective. It used to help me overcome distracting noises, but then I'd feel exhausted by the static itself some time after
I like noise-cancelling earbuds :)

[fierce lagoon]

Thank youuu

[dark haven]

Jun yuh?

[hearty pawn]

YEahhh

[heavy valley]

hey man i get ya. it took me a year of trial and error to be able to continually focus for only an hour. after that im cooked and need a break. im emphasizing this bc ppl can focus longer than others can. im also pretty piss poor at academics. embarrassing to say, but ive failed the same 2 courses 3 times now despite studying. shit happens. i also join the server to stream me studying but its definitely only on my good days. remember that i and everyone else have bad days you probably (and definitely) dont get to see. just take little baby steps and practice compassion for yourself

[proper valley]

[flat prism]

I have a problem with my eyes, they can't stand light. I had been taken to the optician for this and they only recommended that I use glasses with filters for both blue light and stronger light. I always liked the idea of ​​having everything organized on my laptop, but because of this I can't stand sitting in front of it for long. Is there anyone who has this problem and can recommend some tips? Or should I keep a paper organization?

I had some eye issues after my meds made my eyes hurt easily. I use systane eye drops to help lubricate my eyes when they're dry. They're expensive but even my optometrist reccomends it. I have a gel bead eye mask in the freezer when it's really bad, and a hot towel helps do the same thing basically. I just chill for 15m on the couch with it and my eyes hurt a lot less after. Even cooling my eyes with my freezing fingers for 10 seconds helps. I turnt down the brightness on my comp way low but not low enough to cause more strain. I also got this lamp with different blue/red lights with adjustable brightness. It's actually been a lifesaver. I regret not switching out the lamp sooner.

Ive had horrible insomnia for two years and would sleep 2-3 hours only till i crashed, and the best thing ive found that works for me and might help is working out at a late hour to exhaustion...might not be the best way to go about it but it provided me a much needed relief after some while , might help!

guys how do i manage burnout coz everytime i seriously study for like 6 hours with breaks or more i get extreme burn out next day onwards for almost 3days, even if i try to study and keep moving during a burnout i can only manage for 1hour the WHOLE day i try physical exercise and detox but can hold the burnout in for too long and end up doomscolling whole day

[trail perch]

maybe you're thinking "I have to study another 6 hrs today because I did it yesterday" which can feel very overwhelming and can lead you to doomscroll as a way to delay that pain... which has happened to me too many times

always divide your task into smaller ones. For example, I have to go through a 200pg chapter on the endocrine system, but the chapter is separated into 10 sections (ie. 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, etc.). So when I plan for a long study session, I only think about one small section at a time and not the whole 200 pages, otherwise I will be overwhelmed.

If you can isolate a smaller topic within a larger one to just focus on, then its more palatable for the mind. It honestly takes practice to adjust to this mindset of tunnel visioning to just the small task at hand and nothing else.

then once you finish that small task, you feel accomplished and feel like you can finish the next smaller task, and so on and so on

but honestly 6 hours straight with small breaks in between is still a lot for me, personally I would do 3hr/3hr with a 1 hr break in between if you're doing 60m/10min pomodoro

[mortal nexus]

How do you guys develop tunnel vision? For instance you can immediately figure out what you want to do this month or what goals you want to achieve the following months. When I think about what goals I want to achieve, or ask myself what areas to improve, I end up not satisfied with what I have thought or feel like something is missing.

[trail perch]

Khan academy is a great resource and Free! most of the topics you are looking for are there at various education levels.

If you want post secondary to undergraduate level of those topics, I recommend the MCAT section which covers all of those you listed

Desk help please...

Mine's full of art materials, and techs and a bit filthy atm.

Besides from cleaning, what are the other things to consider or must have at a desk?

[untold jungle]

I have a question, many people say that you need a separate place to study, but I only have a desk that i can sit down peacefully but my pc is on that specific desk too so its both my entertainment place and focus place but i use my pc for making flashcards too so this is a big melting pot of everything. What can I do abt this?

[leaden path]

yoo i have a similar setup even same laptop bro 😭 , but i broke the screen (ive had it for 4 years ) and i use an external monitor

[woeful steeple]

On your PC, you could make separate profiles you log into depending on if youre trying to focus/study or use it for entertainment. And on the focus profile make sure it's harder to access the entertainment, like blocking time wasting websites with browser extensions

[severe walrus]

[heavy valley]

heres a definitely not generic answer: plants

[cosmic spindle]

I completely forgot about greens, thank you.

[subtle mural]

u need more desk space imo. im huge on having a lot of desk space either for moving my mouse around or if i have my laptop or books opened up while im working. i would suggest with ur current setup it looks like u have a laptop stand u use when ur not actively using the keyboard. going with something slightly bigger can give u more space under the laptop. or adding a shelf above to move books and other stuff (looks like a window so not rly the best option). u can also do something under the desk. again thats if u need space for working

also gives u more space for the greens

As an example this is what my setup looks like. Less storage but it’s a 70x30 inch desk (shy of 2 meters?) so I have a lot of space to put things around and then a bunch of storage on the other wall behind me (not shown in photo) mostly with books but yea. I’m able to push stuff out of the way to write, eat, game, code, use a laptop, etc. gaining as mush space as possible is rly so nice. I can have a lot of junk that I use but if it’s all piled up it gets overwhelming. Spreading it out and having a spot for everthing is good

Like the filling cabinet is my dad’s stuff but I use the top for my wallet and keys etc. the other one on the right is also not my stuff but the top has all my pens and other stuff, etc. storage storage storage, space space space u cant go horizontal go vertical

[subtle mural]

177cm desk conversion if that helps

[trail perch]

lighting plays a big part in productiveness, as it can affect mood. I have the same situation as you with my workspace also being my entertainment space for video games. But I have a bright ring light that I turn on when I only do work, gives me a sense of alertness and mindset that I am in a productive state when making written notes. I turn it off or dim it down when it is time for entertainment purposes (usually at night).

Maybe that could help as you can condition the brighter environment to productivity time.

[subtle mural]

following up on this the color of ur lighting is a big impact. there have been many studies done on how lighting impacts ur productivity (not hard to find them). u can lowkey trick urself into a sort of pavlov's dog effect by strictly studying with white lighting. idk how effect that would be and how long that would take (i hate white light so im not going to try it) but to each their own ig.

@hoary field Hi mod, i'm sorry for the ping but i had a question about the prerequisites of promoting study server groups in the #study-buddies chat as i think i got a talk about it last time without asking. is there anything i have to do before promoting my server? thank you for your time

[hoary field]

hi! well two things

1. It's better to create a ticket, since we have that system so all mods can help you, so just keep it next time
2. Unfortunately I can't let you share your server here, as that would break the rules for self-promotion and I'd have to ban you
   But one suggestion I have, is to ask your friends to join your server throught DMs, this way you won't be breaking the rules, but be mindful to only do it with your friends, if you are spaming all servers users' DMs discord will flag you automtically and I will ban you as well for self-promotion
   I hope this answer helps you bro

[severe walrus]

thank you so much! ill keep in mind to make a ticket next time i need to communicate with the mods (woopsie). i appreciate you letting me know about the server-sharing policy too (glad i didnt do it before i got banned lmao)

would anyone like to help critique my resume and cover letter ? applying for a research job

[young umbra]

Hello man! I can suggest a few things.

1. Quit caffeine. Really. Don’t drink coffee man. At least not in the evenings/late afternoons. ‘Cause coffee=no sleep, no sleep=more drowsiness.
2. Go to sleep at the same time and wake at the same time every single day. Get your body used to sleeping between the same hours.
3. Slow down as your sleeping time approaches. Slowly let go of work related stuff. Slowly start dimming the lights. Turn off any screens (ideally an hour before you sleep). Read in bed (but don’t read a horror/thriller book).
   There are a few more points, but these are the main ones. I can give them if you want me to.

Sunshine, exercise, vit d supplements and a multi vitamin as well as addressing any seasonal depression. 3h nap + 3h sleep at night isn’t the same as 6h at night. There are a lot of people deficient in vit d and it has bad health effects. One study I read about in Japan and India, the vit d deficient/insufficient was like 80-90% of their sample.

i'm distracted on apps but it's all stuff thats half educational. i'm in a bunch of school discords as well as pinterest and i spend more time than id like scrolling them but i can't exactly delete them

[slow canopy]

Then I’d rather recommend you to access apps only once in a week. Especially pinterest. By Atomic Habits if you only increase your hurdles to access distractions then you could get your own time or relaxing to focus on work.

i see

[humble fable]

hello buddys

how are you?

I would like to ask some help about addictions

how can I improve my consciousness???

[ripe spoke]

The question is too general so imma reply with general answers. For me, would be in this order:
get enough sleep/rest > reduce binge watch or scrolling > Meditate.
Additionally, have something to mainly focus on everyday, like projects/studies/personal interests really help.
i know it's basic stuffs, everyone knew it, but it's really effective.

[long horizon]

Is anyone here studies/works in the Biomedical Engineering field?

[nova acorn]

hey guys, i’m currently in japan and i was wondering if any of u know what stores i could go to to find used/vintage/old school tech or productivity tools like flip phones, ereaders, timers, etc. thanks!

[swift cape]

No clue, but post if you find anything cool. I think you would be better off with ebay after doing research on what you want. Thrift stores might have some cool old stuff or at least foreign ish things you aren't used to seeing growing up.

[nova acorn]

Will do! Appreciate the reply!

[lofty hearth]

Guys anyone who wakes up early in the morning in winters? If yes how you do it like I can't study in the afternoon so I want to study early but I am trying for a long time and I am not able to wake up early? Advice please even if I try to wake up late at night but can't ?

[young umbra]

There is a quite which I always try to remember—I don’t remember who said, probably Jordan Peterson—which goes something like:” You can be a slave, tyrant, or negotiate with yourself.” This really helps me wake up earlier. You can either give in to the urge of sleeping, beat yourself up mentally for not wanting to wake up, OR negotiate with yourself.
Try to convince yourself to sleep/wake up earlier as if you are trying to convince a child.

[young umbra]

I’ll give you an example:
imagine a child who wants to eat candy for breakfast. How would a parent want to make them eat something healthier? Take a look at this made up convo:
child:”I want candy”
parent:”How about some broccoli…?”
child:”ew no”
parent:”…how about an apple? That is sweet but healthier than a candy bud”
child:”ughh, fine”
This is the way. Convince yourself like a child. Because you can’t make yourself wake up a 4:30 am immediately, so gradually shift the timing

[lofty hearth]

Yes you are right I always try to convince myself my will power is getting weaker ❤️🥺 btw thank you so much for your advice💗

[lofty hearth]

I understood I will try that

[young umbra]

My pleasure ❤️

[lofty hearth]

Thank you ❤️

why dont i see the vent channel

[limpid flint]

tbh it doesn't matter whether you wake up early or not, all that matters is when you're awake make the most out of time, i also tried to wake up early in the morning etc but i came to a realization that time is relative...so what i did was at all times i kept windows and doors of my room closed and no clock because i your brain doesn't know whether it's day night or afternoon you're not going to feel sleepy and also with that try to be consistent with sleep like sleep for atleast 7 hours and go to sleep and wake up at same time almost everyday and when you do wake up just go outside or on the terrace to get some daylight so your brain sub-consciously knows that the day is started and suddenly you'll feel active then a face wash then exercise/stretch for 10-15min(optional) and that's it. i dont disagree to the veer guy who advised you but the convincing myself, motivation quotes etc that's just temporary and might work for 1-2 days but after that it won't work.

[limpid flint]

think of your purpose, write it down, why do you want to do this, why'd you choose this path-is it because of money or is it to retire your parents or stuff and stick it on walls of your room and whenever you procastinate just look at that

bad boy tune

[eternal shuttle]

i'm cooked
so i've got bio exam on thursday
chem on friday and maths on saturday
I've been preparing at a snail's pace. I've only done like a quarter of each subjects syllabus.
I asked chatgpt to help me with a study schedule and it seems impressive.
I'm just not sure if I should follow it.
I don't think I'll be able to cover the content in the time it thinks i'll be able to.
What do yall think?

[spice pine]

Is it a final?

I'd say focus on whatever you're the worst at and also the one you're kinda good at. If it's not a final, even if you pass with a bad score, it doesn't really make much of a difference (well it kinda does but you're better off this way)

[eternal shuttle]

it's sort of a final exam
exam for private candidate

[spice pine]

Private candidate?

What's that

And if its a final, you're better off studying for the ones you're not the best at first and then eventually get to the ones you're good at

[eternal shuttle]

it's o levels for secodary school
it's done three times a year in my country
one of the three is only available for students that are currently in secondary school

the remaining two are for people that are out of secondary school or don't want the school setting of writing the exam

[eternal shuttle]

same thing chatgpt recommended

[spice pine]

😭

Not you comparing me to chatgpt

[spice pine]

Ah o levels

[spice pine]

Right right

Makes sense

[eternal shuttle]

if it's anything you actually thought of a response and are not just regurgitating info you saw online.

right?

[spice pine]

True

Goodluck with your tests

[eternal shuttle]

thanks imma need it.

how to lock in

[nocturne plover]

Locking in means putting all your energy into one thing bro no distractions no BS First you gotta know what’s worth your time what’s the goal Once you got that block out everything pulling you away your phone people whatever Build a habit of staying focused even when your mind starts drifting Every time it does snap back like Nah I’m on this Over time that focus becomes natural like second nature When you lock in like that you start moving different sharper smarter unstoppable.

[rare spade]

isn't that lowkey stressful

[nocturne plover]

It can be lowkey stressful at first bro but that’s just your mind fighting the change When you’re used to being all over the place locking in feels like pressure but it’s really just you building a new habit Once you push through that phase it actually gets easier and even calming because you’re in control You’re not wasting energy on random stuff anymore and everything starts flowing Trust me the stress fades and the results are worth it

[rare spade]

thanks man

[tepid magnet]

hey guys- do you have any good free study timers that are accessible on laptop? i'm looking for something that can show overall study time/ subject tags. i kinda dislike phone timers bc they're still distracting to me 😭

[nocturne plover]

Yo bro you can check out Pomofocus it's free and works straight on your laptop browser It’s got a clean timer for studying and you can add tags for subjects to track what you’re working on You could also try Forest the web version lets you grow trees while tracking your time so it feels more interactive Both keep you off your phone and focused

[zealous prism]

if you're not looking to install anything or want something bare-bones, windows has a study timer built in

for your phone: set it to mute notifications, phone calls on speaker if you need to pick up for an emergency or just leave it silent entirely, and then just leave it outside of your room or immediate area

mute it or turn it off, keep it in a bag or throw it out of the room

[swift cape]

Forest on android emulator like bluestacks on desktop. You'll have your tags and it'll keep track of your pomos

[swift cape]

My go to is still do the practice test then study off that mainly. It might be too late to do low value study like learning definitions and reading.

Prioritizing major related classes since those matter more

[unreal totem]

is leetcode worth practicing in like senior year highschool

[dusky pier]

Chat how do you deal with burn out? 😭

[nocturne plover]

Yeah bro LeetCode can be worth it if you’re into programming or thinking about a career in tech Starting early like senior year gives you a head start on problem solving skills which are huge for coding interviews and building a strong foundation .
But don’t stress too much about grinding hard yet focus on understanding the basics of data structures and algorithms first If it feels overwhelming you can do it casually maybe one or two problems a week just make sure you’re enjoying it and not turning it into a chore.

[upper acorn]

hi im bba graduate and wanting to do my masters in business analytics in australia. as im new to programming and have no clue, can anyone with same course suggest me should i learn sql or python? or give me reason why not to do this course if im new and suggest similar course 😭 pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

[nocturne plover]

Yo bro first off don’t stress being new to programming is super normal for people jumping into business analytics For your course Python and SQL are like the holy grail Python helps you analyze data automate stuff and even do visualizations while SQL is key for working with databases Start with SQL because it’s simpler and essential for querying and managing data then ease into Python .
If you’re worried about being new it’s fine business analytics is a mix of tech and business so they’ll likely start with beginner-friendly stuff But if coding feels too heavy maybe check out courses like Masters in Business Management or Marketing Analytics where the focus leans more on strategy and less on hardcore programming.

[upper acorn]

thank you bro🫡 . I was tweaking so bad looking at yt and being overloaded with so many infos. i started learning sql from xampp with a help of friend . is xampp good or should i follow yt ones like popsql and others?

[nocturne plover]

Yo bro no worries glad I could help .
XAMPP is solid for learning SQL because it gives you a real MySQL setup to practice on But if you're just starting out and want something simpler PopSQL or DB Browser for SQLite might be easier to use since they have a clean interface and don’t require setting up servers .
If your goal is to just practice SQL queries and get comfortable with database logic you can also use SQL Fiddle or Mode Analytics SQL Tutorial since they run everything in the browser no setup needed But if you wanna get hands-on with real-world applications XAMPP is a great way to learn how databases actually work behind the scenes.

Can someone help me in physics?

[reef glacier]

guys i have my physics exam on monday

is it possible for me to get a good 60 marks if im starting from scratch

[barren forge]

Hello everyone, I’m currently studying ACCA and B.Com, focusing on papers like F3, F2, and F7. I’m looking for someone who can guide me or share tips to better understand the concepts. If anyone is willing to help or knows someone who can, I’d be really grateful. Thank you!

[nocturne plover]

@barren forge
hy man you’re diving into some solid stuff with ACCA and B.Com Here’s how to approach F3 F2 and F7 to make them a bit easier
For F3 (Financial Accounting) focus on mastering the basics of financial statements like balance sheets income statements and cash flow Then get into IFRS standards and practice applying them with real examples
For F2 (Management Accounting) break down the cost accounting stuff step by step Practice with budgeting, variance analysis, and activity-based costing Visual aids like charts help too
For F7 (Financial Reporting) focus on interpreting and adjusting financial reports Practice a lot with group accounts leases and pensions Consolidation is big so don’t skip that
Just keep at it, study a bit each day, and do a lot of mock exams to get used to how they ask the questions You'll get there for sur.

i have this horrible habit of never studying for a subject that i hate (chemistry) and when exams come around, i just procrastinate and get cooked. my finals are coming up and i still haven't done a single prep, any tips??

[trail perch]

Build up your resolve to just study/read through just one page of your chemistry notes. Evaluate how you feel. Feel accomplished that you even got up to read one page. Take a small 5m break and read another page. Feel that cycle again.

Keep building up until you can do 15/5 pomodoro, then 25/5, then 45/15, and so on...

[trail perch]

The hardest part is to just start, but it feels easier if you start small. You can do it! 🍀

[young umbra]

thank you so much

Hello peeps!
I need some help—I am not able to decide what bachelors degree I should pursue. I am interested in learning computer languages, I am curious about science (except biology 😤) and I also write poems and short stories (occasionally). I am also open to learn about economics. I have a WIDE range of interests. What are some degrees that can be worth my time AND are a combination of some of my interests?

So guys Iam from India and turning 20 soon, currently doing my BBA from a tier 3 collage which i regret choosing but due to this ive got plenty of free time and Im just cramming to pass my exams.. Iam in upper middle class in India as my family business makes like 60-70k per year and its equivalent to like 150-200k in us as india is cheaper .. so i need advice from rich and successful people like should i pursue MBA and should I prepare for exams which will lead me to good mba collages or do it from private or low level collages as the syllabus is same or should i not do mba and do something else ? Iwant to start my own business and expand on my family business as here family sticks together forever. So any tips for me guys ?

And the family business i mentioned is apple orchard business which my father is also expanding every year
