[ivory oxide]

if u can stay consistent with meditation im sure u will be able to stay in presence

and not stop before getting into this river of tgoughts

[lean snow]

20 minutes a day is nothing man. I think I can handle that.

[ivory oxide]

im not promising antyhing but if u r desperate to stop md u can try

[lean snow]

I will. Thank you.

Btw I can tell you are some strong guy thats actually able to gain a LOT of things but you are damaging yourself with your perfectionism

1 is greater than zero man. being able to overcome maladaptive daydreaming is a huge success for someone who is actually struggling with it.

dont set your standarts too high and I hope you will stop saying stuff like I'm lazy...

Lazy people dont even force themselves to learn this shit.

[ivory oxide]

thank you

maybe I will try again cuz of your words

[lean snow]

I know you will.

[lone furnace]

hi! I'm kinda struggling with this study plan thingy

can anyone help me with that?

[gritty flower]

how to study productively while coping from a break up

[solemn rampart]

I'm still searching for the answer to this question

I took a month for crying, doing other stuffs, seeing a lot of friends and doing sport. Honestly it helped

[gritty flower]

i don't have friends

lost everyone while being w him

[scenic pivot]

timeblock! cry at night and in your dreams. Wake up feeling empty and fill yourself with study during morning timeblocks.

How do u guys get over doing the hardest task in the morning? i know what the task is, but just get so anxious about putting my mind on it. And it snowballs and messed up other tasks that i should do. I do everything in my power it actually tires me out than doing the actual tasks, ended up not getting it done and even more tired.

[gleaming hollow]

Probably a lot of meditation to deal with intrusive thoughts and feelings, and going no contact with the ex. Even then I'm not entirely sure if itd work, though you'll probably feel better at least.

[ember wren]

Break task in SMALL tasks, SHORT period, do SLOW. Try to learn dont ever think about finish any task. Thats why short periods will help. Pass quicly.

• If you are now with a mountain , Cirle this. Task1 (samll, short, slow), task 2 (iden)
  Task 3... Etc>
  So you cicle back to task 1.
  dont think about the finish job. Only 1 short task (breaked from the finished job).
  if is too messup (big mountais). Break the montan usin pareto( Forget the mountain - now you want only 20% *the important part of each montain).

Your problem (most has this problem, until figure out) is thinking too much , think in the finished mountain you want to take it down.). Must learn stop this. Procrastination come from pain (lookin the montain). Learn to break the steps and focus on the step. if you finish on the top of mountain or the middle dont matter - but you gonna start to walk..
Get out the finished future task view. THis is the pain your brain want to avoid.

[scenic pivot]

Needed this man, thank you

[ember wren]

You wellcome.

How to create a custom room guys?

[upbeat umbra]

hello all guys I'm new here. I have a question please?
How do you manage to study for more than 5 hours without falling asleep for a while???
It happens to me all the time. No matter how hard I try to fight but nothing and if I struggle too much, I start rereading the same sentence 10 times?
do you have any tips?

[humble cove]

wzg

honestly, I think its a physiological predisposition. it never bothered me to study for long periods of time, only my back hurt. Id just lie down on my bed for a couple of minutes and stretch. If we re talking about factors, I think a lot depends on ur routine. I mean, how much you sleep, how much u eat, how much time you spend on TikTok, and so on so on so on . Im talking about the fast-acting dopamine. pretty much it. but anyway this is just my opinion

[upbeat umbra]

usually I start studying constantly and in depth 2 or 3 weeks before my exams and I remove tiktok or any other temptations to avoid losing concentration. Usually I sleep around midnight. I'm not used to falling asleep early

I often take coffee to avoid going back to sleep. But it doesn't really work anymore. I need to take some in some form now. maybe 3 cups in 5 hours?
I'm thinking about switching to energy drinks to see if it's more powerful

what are you guys drinking to keep you awake?

[blissful kelp]

I like drinking tea, not really a fan of coffee and energy drinks though cuz of the health effects (heart palpitations etc). You can try drinking tea (green/black/red tea). But the best way is to get sufficient sleep imho. Nothing beats a good night’s rest. Or you can consider taking interval naps too.

[lean snow]

I assume that your tolerance of caffeine increased. And if you keep increasing your frequency of consuming caffeine, it will keep increasing too. So I suggest you to decrease the frequency and try to increase your sleep quality. By that, you will be healtier and maybe less sleepy. Idk what med people would think, this is my idea.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EUEB2wW2zA

maybe you can get the advantage of this tecnique. Basically, it is a noon sleep that you have just right after you drink a coffee.

English subtitles would work for you.

[wild ridge]

Your coffee isn’t that strong if 3 cups doesn’t do anything

Good coffee means 2 cups will have 400-500mg of caffeine

[hearty wedge]

BRO WHAT???? one cup has approx 90-120 mg caffeine. 2 cups should have max 250mg.

What kind of sold-only-by-God coffee beans are you using?

[wild ridge]

200mg is typical for v60, it varies a lot by beans though

If you’re using burned beans like the ones Starbucks sells it’s not gonna have a lot

Speciality coffee with lighter roasts should be around 200mg

[sterile iris]

[tiny stump]

ayy new channel yay

[fair tartan]

For some reason when I use spotify & join a study room (muted & deafened), the spotify music blocks off.

I'm guessing it has to do with 2 audio components being used at the same time.

Would spotify work fine if I connected it to discord?

[river tide]

Great, more channels I need to mute

[gleaming spire]

well i have it connected and depending on what device i use i have the same problem... so i just use another device or headphones (for some reason i have no problem then)

[smoky tundra]

Aaaa my eyes are strained because of glasses

Should i switch over to contacts

Theyre kinda school related but help me if anyone knows if contacts are better

Thanks

No procrastination allowed 😎

[woven kraken]

Depends whether you payed for it

👀

[wispy flax]

ngl thought you could just download it, makes a lot more sense tho

[young umbra]

How do I get discord to be less distracting?
Like the moment I get on discord I can't get off it

Install a very bad skin that you hate looking at

[ebon hamlet]

should I study things that ive already had tests on? i usually only do this when there is a final coming up but i have only had 1 final in my life because i only had one as a freshmen before corona hit and we havnt had finals since. I am now a sophomore and do very well in my classes and half at least 2 honors classes a trimester, but I don't ever study past units like in math because we still have no finals

[teal vector]

i think you should because in two days i will be writing very important test from maths and there are a lot of things that i forgot and know i am trying to learn it again and it sucks

[ebon hamlet]

ive never really learned a proper way of studying so i always just do all the work given to me and do well on tests, but like theres no finals so i dont study past parts which probably isnt good

[teal vector]

i think it would just come in handy sometime

[ebon hamlet]

yeah i feel like i should devote some time because I have time now, but i dont even know what I would do, I do all the work and homework and stuff given from class but like what would I do if i wanted to review all the past things I learned? ive had so little finals that I have no experience

[teal vector]

well when i want to revise stuff we learned in the past i just google math problems for the thing you want to revise and if i dont know how to solve them i go on youtube because my teahers never help in theese situations

[polar cairn]

How stop to procrastinate

Help

[meager idol]

Write down or however way u like to track progress ur tasks. Each one, give them an hour to do depending on work load, take 10-20 breaks, get back to work once ur timer is done and set another hour to work. And most importantly put away all ur distractions like ur phone and be accountable. Dont feel bad if u fail, theres no point in dwelling on ur mistake and move on to doing what u need to do.

[polar cairn]

@meager idol thank you so much

but sometimes when i take a break i always want more and i waste my time

[meager idol]

think of why ure doing what u do: get things done so u dont stress about it while procrastinating. It always feel like we dont have time cuz we keep putting stuff off while its looming in our mind that there is still work to do. What helps me is making sure I've checked off ALL my work off before I can finally rest. The breaks are just to breath and recollect. Not rly go on YouTube or social media. I know u can do it--u got this

[young umbra]

You should keep your break times below 15 minutes, any more than that you lose your focus

[sage frigate]

https://youtube.com/watch?v=vOn2o5VxvZk&feature=share
Hey i would apreciate it if u could like my video. It's very amator but i wanted to try it 🙂

[rapid grotto]

My suggestion is find what works for you. For me, it takes a while to get started and concentrate. If I take a break, it takes time to recall what I was doing and get in the zone again. So I actually don't take short breaks - I try to ride the wave of concentration as much as possible, at least an hour but ideally longer. (If I'm watching a pomodoro, I'll ignore their breaks lol)
When I get tired, I take a long break for up to an hour. I don't feel guilty for long breaks and I try to do self care that will prepare me for a long study session again (eat a meal, take a shower, avoid social media).
If you think you have a real procrastination problem, I recommend this podcast episode - super interesting. https://www.alieward.com/ologies/procrastination. Maybe understanding why you procrastinate will help u find a solution that works for you.

[meager idol]

This one works too lol. I like to do it better cuz it's just how I seem to function. Breaks are fine with me but going nonstop till I'm done all is better for some reason

[vague badge]

@sage frigate I'm afraid you'll have to delete your message due to rule nº2

@rapid grotto how to do procastination?

[covert sleet]

Does anyone have a solution for neck pain? I was studying 10-14 hours for the last month or so but because of the neck pain I can't focus. I do some exercise and ~30 min walk everyday it feels ineffective.

[brazen adder]

anyone here take economics at a level preferably CIE? i need good essay plans written. will pay ! dm me

[reef falcon]

yea, as an art student that was one of my main and continuing problems, looking down at my desk at a 90 degree angle. I highly suggest getting a textbook holder and/or a laptop table so you can tilt it to be eye level with no neck strain. I would also take breaks around every 25 minutes for the first 2 weeks and increase it to every 30 minutes+ once your neck pain has subsided and you can handle it. do neck stretches specifically every time you take a break to help and walking around helps a bit

[covert sleet]

Thanks I'll try it

[plush rover]

laptop stand really helps me a lot

[brisk oracle]

guys i need advice

im about to study abroad

i got these options from the advisory

Austrlia, UK, Canada, and Singapore

and i want to learn finance

which place is best...?

[narrow drift]

hey everyone is it alright if any of u like my posts on IG (yeenteu)? it's for some minor subject in my university :(( its up to u if u want to leave a comment! really sorry for this stupid favor

[cinder pivot]

Sure

I followed you

[narrow drift]

appreciate u 💜

[covert sleet]

for undergrad anywhere is fine for any subject. for grad you should search the professors of each school.

[deep stump]

this really depends on the uni. Like @covert sleet said, anywhere is usually good for undergrad. Depends on the culture and student environment youre most interested in! I'm currently in Australia doing uni, and many unis here are quite different from each other. You can do your own research about which country has the kind of culture/cities you're most interested in and then also look at universities with your course. I'm fairly sure most universities are ranked by academics, student satisfaction, emplyability, etc.

Best of luck!! This stage in your life sounds so exciting!

[brisk oracle]

ok i will do that, thanks guys!

[brazen adder]

anyone here take economics at a level preferably CIE? i need good essay plans written. will pay !

[stone pulsar]

so basically, in my anatomy and emergency procedures class, notes are required and i entirely forgot to take them over the content all year. (i usually study the provided powerpoints.) just spent 5 hours straight writing notes and i’m not even halfway done. does anyone have any tips on how i can get them finished faster?

[young umbra]

hey

[reef falcon]

write the stuff like you would in texts, abbreviate thngs and only write things that you think are important or that you yourself need to remember ( stuff that you're likely to forget), unless this is a class where the teacher wants you to write notes on everything important and to write legibly (which I feel is kinda pointless - that's not exctly what notes and notetaking is for)

[stone pulsar]

they’re graded on neatness, proper grammar and quantity. i don’t think that it’s really about retaining the information, but instead just proving that we watched her endless lectures lmao.

[woven kraken]

Use only the website app on the computer, and block it with forest chrome add-on while studying etc

[solid cipher]

hi, im just buying a new mouse for gaming and daily stuffs, i just cant descide and want to ask here. One of my options is Glorius Model O and the other one is Deathadder elite. Which one should i choose?

[woven kraken]

I think you should ask on #tech-related-help , but I will answer it anyway. What grip do you use? Palm?

What's the size of your hand?

[solid cipher]

oh i just dont know #tech-related-help exits

[solid cipher]

im palm grip and medium hand size

[woven kraken]

And what's your budget?

[solid cipher]

i can afford both

[woven kraken]

I'd go for the deathadder v2 probably for palm if it fits your budget

DA Elite is outdated

[hexed swallow]

I have the deathadder elite v2 and it's pretty good

[solid cipher]

is Glorius model o not good for palm grip or something? my friends say glorius is better and actually i need something light

its not available at my country

[woven kraken]

Its not and it's kinda overpriced

It's really not worth it for MSRP unless you're Minecraft 1.8 PvP player

And it's not for palm

[solid cipher]

so i think i will go for elite

[young umbra]

@brisk oracle I have finance books if you want them. The Richest Man in Bablyon is the best book written on finance and should be a must read for everyone.

[somber sierra]

@solid cipher If yo uare still wondering what to get, I have been using a Logitech G502 and i love it, great handfeel and not to many buttons

[solid cipher]

I used it before but its good for my hands tho

Idk why i buy it bcs its good for palm but i dont like it when i use it for long time

[modern cairn]

ive been using Logitech G102, really cheap and good price-performance ratio

[solid cipher]

I will take a look

[brisk oracle]

I think ive read this before but thank you

[foggy fossil]

check out the orochi v2 b razer too , it just launched this week and is affordable and has a long battery life

[solid cipher]

anybody good at calculus and can teach me the basics in 30 minutes?

or an hour

[sterile mason]

Hey guys.
When you have like 5 hours of study, do you prefer to tackle it using all this time to studying only one subject? or it better for you to divide your time among the subjects you gotta study (like, one hour each)?

[young umbra]

I would study each subject for an hour.. But personally I would spend more time out of the 5 hours on the hardest subjects and lesser time on the easier ones

[sterile mason]

I like that approach, guess i'll try it for the next week. ty

[sharp wolf]

does anyone know efficient ways of improving in a language, when I have the basics

[mint musk]

i have a question abt this one

[mint musk]

Reading, watching yt in a language you learn

[magic terrace]

yes ?

[mint musk]

Is it asking if you bought something clicking on ad?

[magic terrace]

yes also it means that you desire to purchase something after see that ad and you bought it

[sharp wolf]

thanks!

[mint musk]

oh icic

[mint musk]

no problem!

[somber sierra]

It depends on the language and on the amount of basics. I think just consuming a lot of media in the particular language is very good

That can often help you improve from A2-B1 to B2

Since it will increase your word count and sentence structure

[sharp wolf]

i'm A2-B1 so yeah

[somber sierra]

Yeah, if you have the grammar down fairly well I would suggest start consuming in the target language

[mint musk]

done

[somber sierra]

Also chatting and talking in the target language is very helpfull since it will help your brain process it and after a while makeyou less tired

I used to be tired after a lot of english reading/writing but now I can live in english for months at a time (I have actually done this) without getting more tired then my native language

[mint musk]

mm it depends too. Consuming content helped me better understand grammar and structure

[magic terrace]

thank you @mint musk

[mint musk]

of course!

[somber sierra]

Yeah it definitely heps with that cause you come across (new) sentence/grammar structures a

Even if you don't consciously learn them you will subconsciously still remember them and use them

[mint musk]

agreed🤝

[sharp wolf]

agreed that's exactly what i did with english, it helped a lot

[somber sierra]

Oh ad from personal experience, don't compare learning english to another language

at least not in the media compartment

[sharp wolf]

that's why i'm asking for spanish for other ways, i'm not comparing

[somber sierra]

Imo it is very easy to eat, breath, live in English while it is much harder for other languages if you don't live in that country. You have to (actively) seek out communities/media that use your target language

[magic terrace]

Thank you @sharp wolf

[sharp wolf]

sure

[somber sierra]

I filled it in as well, I am curious tho. Whatsapp is not a social media?

[magic terrace]

whattsapp is a Social media ... In India

[sharp wolf]

it is a social media i think

[somber sierra]

I mean it is litearlly a messaging service in my eyes

I would feel like whatsapp just replaces text messages

at least in my country/europe it does

noone really uses the whole story stuff

[vague badge]

WhatsApp is a messaging app, just like Messenger, Telegram, LINE

2. If the cost curve is reversed, what will the shape of the cost curve be when the supply is low and high?
3. In the basic race market model using a downward-sloping demand curve and an upward-sloping supply curve, incorporating and raising the minimum wage can lead to inefficiencies. Answer what mechanism creates that possibility.

hey new guy here just wanted to make myself a better learner and i realised taking effective notes is the essential part of it can you guys give me any leads ? or do we have a section to discuss this

[past moat]

Hello ^^
You’re right. Note taking is extremely important. I usually use the flashcard method but without the cards, just with a regular paper. I use arrows to indicate the “sides” of the flashcards. For example:

|-one side
|-and another

-

I hope you understood and sorry I’m not a good explainer.

[high salmon]

Is anki, any good for a igcse student, i do 9 different subjects, and setting up flashcards respectfully for each is a rather extreme task, would the benefit of setting up an anki for each, help me get higher grades, or should i just continue doing active recall, quizzes and past paper questions?

Hey everyone:) I've been really interested in this podcast recently and thought you'd all appreciate it -

Andrew Huberman, Prof of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine - posts on spotify, youtube, apple podcasts etc.

He really bridges the gap between science and practical tools for a variety of life enhancing things, like motivation, sleep, focus, hormones etc. It's truly incredible how much information he's giving out completely for free - check this one out, it's brilliant (among many others):

I'd love to 😁

I'm in the central-european timezone. I believe I'm an hour behind, if I remember correctly

[drifting copper]

which topic?

[weak lily]

history (mesopotamia, egypt, ancient greece)
It's for a university course and the study matter is quite detailed, so I'm feeling a little overwhelmed 😅

[drifting copper]

Generally, try to break it down into smaller, easier pieces. So start with mesopotamia (break this down into pre-history, geography, culture, society etc.) then egypt and so on.

[untold musk]

follow the structure your syllabus uses

there's a reason why a syllabus is there, and it's to provide a structured timeline for the history you're taking

unless it's just random timelines compiled together

It's a bit random. My professor doesn't really have a system or structure 😅

OH WAIT SOME NICE PEOPLE RESPONDED IN GENERAL YAY

[timid badge]

tbh id recommend doing some exercise everyday even if it's very light but dedicate an hour a day it'll change your head space and kind of reset your mood/productivity

[worldly panther]

mhm!! I tried doing that when I wasn’t depressed and more just burnt out/tired but on top of things. Haha I did 3 runs a week (ranging from 5-10km). Unfortunately it just made me stressed because of how it broke up my schedule and how painful it was after :(( but thank you so much for the advice! I might try walking or something else that’s lighter :))

thank you!!

[timid badge]

hmm maybe you could do something at home and that's quick so you don't feel like you're cutting up your schedule. Meditation/drawing/journaling/gardening anything really as long as it forces you to take your mind off studying. You have to have a work/life balance if you want to avoid burnout

[worldly panther]

yeah i think i'll try that :)) i just need to find something that doesn't exhaust me now hbdkjsbikxdugb thank you :)))

[sterile jewel]

does anybody know how to analyze a poem and write an entire essay for a stanza

[quartz girder]

Oh man i forgot im sorry

[gusty fable]

Sorry I had really bad grades with those type of exercises x)

[warped junco]

hey i would be interested🙌

[dusk locust]

you probably need to see what "lenses" you have gone over in class and apply them to the stanzas

[quartz girder]

i love how positive everyone is

[sterile jewel]

she sort of just assigned us an Emily Dickinson poem and said you have to have a 40 minute analysis presentation

[quartz girder]

@sterile jewel 40minutes? Jesus

[upper wing]

i have to study home but ppl r fighting here all the time, any concentration tips to mentally cancel out the noise?

[young umbra]

i plugged my headset all day, not the best option

[maiden lintel]

listen brown noise, good headphones, shut the door maybe even go to a library if its extreme

[young umbra]

yes. go to the library or study outside once in awhile

[wanton kiln]

anyone vietnamese here 😦

[wispy citrus]

Does anyone here read ebooks on mobile?

[timber imp]

whats brown noise?

[swift marsh]

Can sum1 help me w this

I heard the answer is 2 for a but I don't get

(it's microeconomics btw)

[young umbra]

@young umbra I am also in 12th

[young umbra]

Yea

[zinc crypt]

Hey has anyone here read deep work by cal newport?

[wispy citrus]

Which eReader do you use

[young umbra]

If I’m buying books Apple Books, if I use my library they have a number of apps they use none are publicly available tho.

[paper pond]

what part do u need help with?

[vague badger]

Before/during studying, how do y'all let go of figuring out the exact right thing to study, or the perfect way to take notes, or stuff like that. I always get a headache because I feel like I can't get past that portion even though it's so insignificant

When college isn't in session, it's so hard for me to study/work on my own because I just get stuck in an infinite loop on the what-to-do stage and I don't want that to happen this summer

[wispy citrus]

You decide way before that

Honestly I also don't study strategically its just intuitive

[swift marsh]

first part

a

[narrow elm]

@vague badger I would look at a general overview of the topic you are wanting to study and find which things you are still most confused on

also could anyone possibly help me develop a thesis statement for a
research paper? I legitimately have the entire paper written minus an intro and conclusion I am just having issues figuring out my thesis because I veered away slightly from my previous ones I was working with

[shy epoch]

@vague badger for me personally it sometimes helps to look at a book on your topic (maybe even a recomended one) and see how many topics there are or in which order they are organized. Sometimes you can figure out the context of everything and figure it is best to learn the basics first instead of focusing on small things...thats what I usually do 🙂 you could also gather questions specifically before a lecture and try to answer them while in the lecture so you focus more and try to connect stuff. Its also very good have recorded lectures and rewatch them when your school does that.

[young umbra]

where is server invite code

[lilac siren]

guys i study computer engineering i wud like some notes(handwritten is better) for the topic Computer Networks – I

[burnt shadow]

does anyone know if when you get your uni offer and you just need to get your grades, if they will allow UCAS points instead of specific grades: for example, I need BBB but I can get A*, A, C so would the one C mess me up?

[cyan niche]

Anyone have good books from the 20th century regarding geology, geomorphology and just any earth-science, or biology/chemistry/physics/mathematics? Thanks! 🙂

[limpid goblet]

How do you guys cope with the stress of having to achieve?

[cyan niche]

Good question! I'm still struggling on that one myself, however it is important to know why you're doing what you're doing. You're not supposed to owe anyone anything.

[cyan niche]

If you don't have an aim, or you feel like society tramples you, that means you're a bit aimless. For when you find yourself an aim, no one usually will be able to interfere, only you yourself. Don't do it for the grades. No one cares about those. Do it for the sake of self-development and further growth. That's...pretty much it, I guess. A grade shouldn't be the goal, but the inevitable consequence of your hard work. If the grade becomes the goal, the quality of what you learn goes down.

[limpid goblet]

That's actually really insightful.

[cyan niche]

The reward for learning French in school, should be so you can enjoy and use French. Not a grade. Because if the grade becomes the goal, you won't truly learn French.

[limpid goblet]

I had felt a decline in the interest of the work. Mostly because of an idea that I had to achieve a certain grade to matter.

To myself most of all.

[cyan niche]

As if you'll ever use a grade as the reward for your course in French in the future. Hah! Despicable.

Don't make the grade the goal.

That is a dangerous practice.

[limpid goblet]

I guess it is.

[cyan niche]

Something to keep in mind: WRITE DOWN WHY YOU"RE DOING WHAT YOURE DOING.

That way, you remind yourself every time of what matters to you.

[limpid goblet]

Thanks man

[cyan niche]

I have a glass-marker which I use to remind myself why I want to do what I want to do. I write it on the mirrors in my room, just so I won't forget it.

Because overthinking clouds the mind and productivity.

[limpid goblet]

Sure does

[cyan niche]

See your decline in work as a healthy response to your unhealthy practice. 😉

Even your body dislikes doing it for a grade. What much else do you need as an indication? 😉

[limpid goblet]

Can't argue with that

There is a fine line

between dedication and obsession

[cyan niche]

Try to truly understand what the course material is. It's not about knowing facts and reproduction. Even though that is what school ultimately is.

You'll see yourself that when you truly try to find the core of the matter, you're overall understanding of the subject, and your connection/love for it has increased manifold!

Because, on the path of true knowledge, you're bound to find things no one else taught you. You discovered them. That excitement, that's what makes you go further.

[limpid goblet]

Thanks for the words. They were helpful.

[cyan niche]

For instance, I hated math in high school and basic school. But I befriended a professor at the TU in Delft, who taught me mathematics on a very deep level. I started to see a picture form in front of me. Several concepts of mathematics started to unfold in front of my very eyes. If that does not amaze people.... No thanks, Frederik! Just keep it up! Remember why you're doing it. WRITE it down. Don't keep it inside your head. Your head clouds, but paper doesn't! I'd wish you good luck, but that' be bad practice. I wish you a great working day to come! 🙂 Let the sky be our limits (or even further, deeper in the cosmos?)!

[quartz girder]

@cyan niche dutch is goated

[limpid goblet]

And the best of luck to you in whatever you are pursuing. May you wake up happy and better than the day before.

[cyan niche]

Thanks!

[cyan niche]

Goated, as in...deemed greatest of all time? 😉

[quartz lantern]

I have!

[winter ermine]

also what i think is important to remind yourself is that, if you really wanna achieve something, you will achieve it, the only thing you need is perseverance ! (that is why as said before, you need to know why you're doing what you're doing)

try different ways of learning/doing the things you want to achieve, learn to experiment, learn that it's okay to fail, and learn that failing is actually a really good way to improve because it forces you to analyze where things went wrong, whereas if you always succeed, you don't actually know why you do

[cyan niche]

Can confirm! In chess, it is also better practice to lose (not on purpose, of course). For if you find opponents which are weaker than you, you'll tend to beat them every single time, but...have you truly learned anything? By competing with stronger players, you'll immediately see where you'll be lacking! 😉

[winter ermine]

to be fair, i think chess is a very interesting way of learning to make good habits because you can't actually REALLY get better if you don't study, and try to learn from your mistakes, etc.... this way, it teaches you how to be patient, observant, to think outside the box, well quite a lot of things that helps being consistent with your habits !

[untold musk]

i don't think i have to achieve

it's just that i want to achieve

i don't think of it as like a forced thing but something i truly want to do

like do i really wanna be so mediocre no name dude that dies and gets written

"loving individual of society"

[winter ermine]

yeah i see, it's more a need to achieve by fear rather than by true "motivation" ? is it ?

[untold musk]

i think the other way around

i'm not afraid of dying and being a no name

it's just that i dislike the idea of it

[cyan niche]

Oh yes, I've practiced chess for almost 10 years now, and I agree a 100%. The idea is to get deep, very, VERY deep. At some point, you transcend the simplicity of ' Oh, I know how to move the pieces', and a whole new dimension opens up.

Well then, I'll be taking my leave from the chat for now; I need to practice some chess! 😉

[winter ermine]

yeah i see, i probably didn't use the right term but i see what you're trying to say, anyway, i guess it can still be a great way to get motivated to get some work done,

[winter ermine]

well i've only been studying chess for a year now, so i'm no grandmaster or anything but i do feel what you're explaining though ! been there and it was really interesting to get that feeling of transcendance ! (also, goodbye !)

[cyan niche]

Cheers! Only Magnus Carlsen is the limit for now! Hopefully I'll beat Yasser Seirawan someday, or my buddy Anish Giri. 😛

[pine vapor]

The thing is about failure, at least for me, is that it feels less bad each time it happens. I kinda learned that failure is not as scary as it seems.

[earnest yacht]

anyone got a good ambient sound playlist

[zinc crypt]

was it good? im plannign to get it

[quartz lantern]

yeah, I definitely enjoyed it! I think many productivity or self-help books can get bogged down expressing the same idea in a multitude of ways, but I believe Deep Work mostly avoids that! If you'd like, I can send you the notes I took on the book, too.

[astral remnant]

i cant seem to understand what im doing wrong i am tasked to "assign an IP address to subnet 1 to the R3 interface connected to the Office3network." then do the same with subnet 2 and office2network. i assigned the IP address(172.16.10.1/24) to gig0/0 but when i try to assign a IP address(172.16.10.33/24) to gig0/1 i get a syntax error "172.16.10.0 overlaps with gig0/0" anyone can assist me?

[quartz lantern]

what help do you need?

[gaunt stag]

Hello, I just wanted to ask for a peice of advice since I always end up getting bored while studying especially when I'm memorizing chapters

I can't study without getting bored and I end up quiting,I've already tried music but listening to music while trying to memorize lessons isnt that effective

[young umbra]

If I can’t listen to music, I put some rain sounds in the background whilst studying.
I suggest you try that or reward yourself at the end of each study session to keep yourself going.

[sterile jewel]

Sorry, I am just seeing this, I ended up finishing it and it was in fact not fun at all

[late wadi]

going to a new environment helps me, libraries, cafe and etc

[karmic sand]

are you given the IP address of 172.16.10.0/24 to R3 right? wouldn't the switches have a subnet of /29 with 32 subnets and 6 hosts?

if not i think an IP address of 172.16.10.6 would work for R3 g0/1 🤔

which cisco lab is that?

[astral remnant]

its a project for school. im given 172.16.10.0/24 and have to create 8 subnets... sorry i got distracted lol

[wispy cloud]

Do you guys think mechanical engineering questions for science-help or tech-related-help?

[quasi ginkgo]

try both

[wispy cloud]

Cool

[karmic sand]

hm if you subnet /24 the g0/0 should be 172.16.10.1

switch vlan should be 2 and the pc and servers should get 3, 4, 5...

[astral remnant]

did i calculate the subnetting wrong?

[karmic sand]

shouldnt taht be 32?

[astral remnant]

and yea g0/0 is 172.16.10.1

[karmic sand]

on the first row last ip

are you calculating broadcast addresses as well?

[astral remnant]

oh nahhhh

you right

wooowwww

[karmic sand]

works?

[astral remnant]

@karmic sand thank you let me try it

😦 @karmic sand

[karmic sand]

damn

[astral remnant]

i appreciate your help man @karmic sand i will not give up !

[karmic sand]

tbh ill even try 2

im used to subnetting stuff like this

i have not played around subnetting /24

cause ik if you have a /24 the first address wil always be 172.16.10.1 and the last should be 172.16.10.254 while 172.16.10.255 the broadcast

[astral remnant]

ahh i see.. a point to point connection

may i ask how you configured those two switches to the router?

[karmic sand]

wdym

like doing the ip address {ip} {subnet}

using interface vlan 1

[astral remnant]

yea and which ports

ohh ok

[karmic sand]

yeah have you tried putting switch 2 as 172.16.10.6?

@astral remnant

or 172.16.10.2

[astral remnant]

let me try that

no that didnt work

[karmic sand]

results @astral remnant ?

[astral remnant]

im going to try and change the ports

ima use the gig ports closest to the switches

actually i cant do that lol i have to use subnet 1 for switch office 3 according to the lab

[karmic sand]

i have a feeling that you need to use /29 subnets i ahve no idea why

wait no /30

wait no

@astral remnant try 172.16.11.1 for g0/1

since its /24

it only affects 172.16.10

and then you will use the available ip address of the 10.2, 10.3... and 11.2, 11.3... with the PC's and servers

[astral remnant]

it worked !

@karmic sand

[karmic sand]

noice

i totally forgot about it being /24 😂

made a miniature network

[astral remnant]

yoooo nah you goated @karmic sand

good looks

[karmic sand]

big brain fart lmao

if the subnet was either /25 - /30

then it would work

now you can finish 👍

[astral remnant]

so lets say there was two more switches with the same networks. would those two be 172.168.12.1 and 172.168.13.1 ? sorry to keep bothering you i just want to understand @karmic sand

[karmic sand]

yes

since its /24

it only affects the first 3 octects

so 172.16.10

[astral remnant]

yo good looks i really appreciate it @karmic sand

[karmic sand]

np

sorry it took a while to remember

i just went through my notes and was like 💡

finished my network course this term might help you out

idk if you are in advance networking or something lol

[astral remnant]

nah im in fundamental networking i just started the networking module two months ago

[karmic sand]

ahhh

cisco stuff

thats a lot of reading ngl

[astral remnant]

brooo a l o t

i like reading tho so im fine with it i just started reading the network + book

[karmic sand]

i only took CCNAv7 but had to read like 17 chapters

pain

[astral remnant]

did you pass?

[karmic sand]

im good with the technical stuff but the theory ehhh

ofc lol

Hello ...I am from India ..and I am reading in class 10...my exams are in 9 months....I am studying 8hrs a day...is it enough to obtain good grades?...my age is 16yrs

[deep pike]

are you from icse

[young umbra]

Yes

[deep pike]

8 hours is more than enough to get good grades

i passed from icse too

[young umbra]

Oh thanks....I want to be in top 10 in national....I aspire to become an astrophysicist

[deep pike]

🤯 good luck with that

[pearl peak]

You really shouldn't be focusing on the number of hours. How much progress you have main in a day should be a better indicator. Just make sure you aren't forgetting what you learnt previously. That's what I can tell you personally if you sit in front of a book for a really long time

[delicate creek]

I study 30 minutes a day or less, I’m doing pretty decently well, I see people like you guys doing a lot of hours and I aspire to be like you but games are very distracting especially when you’re tired and bored. Maybe right now things are easy so I want to build up habits for the up coming years

14 y.o. btw

[wheat sierra]

You probably study so little primarily because of a lack of urgency and possibly motivation. The way I built up strong habits was my ability to scare myself half to death when it came to deadlines. As you get older, exams become more important and your future rears it's head round the corner, so if you want to build up habits right now, find motivation in the form of an ultimate end goal, whether that be finish top of your class, get into your dream uni or whatever, you need to find a larger goal to work towards. As you get older, stress also becomes even more of a player when it comes to study habits, you just need to learn to regulate and control it. Use stress as an extra motivator rather than a scary concept that stops you from working. Stay vigilant and try to study as much as possible when you're in school. You're young so your lunch breaks and stuff can be used towards studying. You'll already be in an environment entirely associated with work, so it is the best starting point, after a little bit of time you'll need your breaks (getting older means more tiring work) so you can just start studying at home. That's all I have to say for the motivation side of it. When it comes to technique I can't really help you unless I know what you're studying, but it's a process of trial and error in my experience. When I used to study history and literature I would sit down for a good few hours and just rewrite all the notes I could find, which worked. For the sciences I would right small, compact notes only containing the majorly important stuff, etc. That's some of my input on your situation, have a nice day.

[feral topaz]

hello, I'm currently a year away from finishing high school yet I'm still undecided and uncertain on what I should take for college. any advice?

[young umbra]

easy. take wot u love and if ur not interested in college dont.

[ocean comet]

if its possible, look into taking your first one or two years at a community college to save money and knock out gen ed requirements while you figure out what you want to study

[loud sierra]

I suggest setting a time where you're supposed to only study, nothing else, and then commiting to that time. Turn off or keep your phone away during this time, work for f.ex 1 or 2 hours and then take a break for maybe 15 minutes, then start working again. Don't do anything else other than working when you work, if you think of something you need to remember to do, then write it down somewhere and continue studying. Then when you've studied enough for the day you can do the things you wrote down, and then take time off with a good conscience to play games etc.
If you find yourself not able to focus the entire session, then break them down into shorter ones, and maybe have an extra session instead. Your focus can be built up like your muscles can, so it's okay if you struggle with long stretches in the beginning as long as you don't stop trying. You're also a teenager, so remember to take care of your mental health too, it's important!

[idle lintel]

can someone explain me the concept of the forest thing everyone goes off about in the chat - i heard its a pomodoro thing tracking ur concentration

[young umbra]

u mean the extenction??

[idle lintel]

i guess?!

[young umbra]

download the extenction and use it

[idle lintel]

do you guys use it via laptop or phone? i just found an app in the store for 2,29

[young umbra]

some things u gotta try its hard to tell u

laptop browser

theres an app too

[sterile mason]

It's an app u use on your smartphone, that you set a time that you're not gonna use it, like one hour, and the app will "plant" a tree for you, if you close the app, the tree will (die ?? i guess).

[young umbra]

but the extension's better

[idle lintel]

why is it better ? i have struggle not usng mxy phone - whats good about the extension?

[young umbra]

well big screen and multitasking

as i said try it and u will get it

try on both platforms

[idle lintel]

are they interoperable?!

[young umbra]

wot does that mean my dear friend

[idle lintel]

i figured it out

so if i start the timer on my phone it will automatically also go of on my laptop

[young umbra]

if u mean syncing yea if remember properly i think it does

yea

[idle lintel]

that might change my life guys honestly xD

[young umbra]

if on same account like spotify remote

[idle lintel]

interoperability means exactly that btw

[young umbra]

it will change ur life if u get distarcted easily

[idle lintel]

no doubt sherlock

Hey is there anyone who have studied or is studying O levels and can you help on on what I should mainly focus on ?

[cerulean depot]

I also want to start a routine so much and devote a lot of hours to studying - but for 18 years of my life I have ignored science and school, so I don't know where exactly to take topics from some field (e.g. maths, physics, geography etc) - in short - I don't know what i could learn. Could someone help with this? I know this is a stupid question, but I really need some help.

[idle lintel]

can anyone explain me the KNN algorithm from scratch or better program it from scratch in python only with numpy?

(k-nearest neighbor)

[tame oak]

is anyone taking ap lit tomorrow?

[reef lava]

@idle lintel Yeah the idea of KNN is to classify a point/data based on what the majority of its neighbors are. To determine how many neighbors to look at we use K. This might be useful regarding how to code it in python depending on what dataset you're looking at: https://realpython.com/knn-python/

An example of KNN is like if we want to let's say determine if a point is blue or red. Lets say K is 5 so we look at its 5 closest neighbors and if the majority of them is red, then the point we classify it as red. If the majority is blue, then we classify it as blue (Aka 3+ neighbors are that color)

[idle lintel]

this is a impressive documentation - thank you so much jess - im currently in my first semester of informatics in my masters trying to wrap my head around Machine Learning and maths

yeah i got the idea of the algo just the implementation part is tricky since i lack fundamentals

[reef lava]

Haha no worries, I just took AI this semester 🙂 so it's still fresh in my head

What dataset are you implementing it on?

[idle lintel]

X, Y = datasets.make_moons(n, noise=0.25, random_state=1234) from scipy datasets

[reef lava]

Here is another one that might be helpful for developing it from scratch: https://machinelearningmastery.com/tutorial-to-implement-k-nearest-neighbors-in-python-from-scratch/

[idle lintel]

i saw this one already

[reef lava]

Are you doing the KNN classification or regression?

[idle lintel]

too complicated with iris 😄

classification

[reef lava]

Ok good classification is a lot easier

[wheat pier]

Hii everyone! Studying chemical engineering. Does someone know a good app/webpage to take notes? I've been using Goodnotes on iPad, but sometimes I prefer to use pc and I need something that have accessibility for both. Tried OneNote but its kinda basic for me I guess. Any recomendation? 🖤

[idle lintel]

yeah i saw that with regression u need to take the average of the numbers of k

Heyo ,does anyone know what app he uses to track streaks ?Just cant find it on internet.

[modest dirge]

its called heatmap its a plugin for anki

[wicked island]

Okay ,tnx

[normal egret]

@wheat pier for my purpose is 'notion' quite good because you can also use LATEX with it

Can you handwrite with an iPad on Notion?

[normal egret]

actually i dont know but for that i just use OneNote

[wheat pier]

OneNote its a bit basic for me 😦 thanks anyways!!

How do yall study theory subjects

I find myself to be a practical learner, and I often have trouble with anything that I cant learn from experience

[blissful cobalt]

any theoretical subjects was created because of a practical mechanic, so if you find the origin, youll see that the theory is not as bad as it seems

or at least for me it is

[young umbra]

That doesnt really apply to all subjects unfortunetly

I was just wondering about

The process of studying

Did you handle it

@bitter plaza

[bitter plaza]

not really, I have to help myself with the translator for grammar

[young umbra]

I think tarakan didn't see your message , you should write her.

[bitter plaza]

OK thanks friend

[left flame]

anyone doing the sat subject test?

[blissful harbor]

what's anki

[gilded sedge]

Hey everyone! 😸
I am currently really struggling to get up early in the mornings since I have nowhere to go…
That is why I am looking for an accountability partner. I was thinking that we could agree on a specific time in the morning (I am flexible, but it should definitely not be after 8 AM) and call the other person.
One more thing: I live in Germany, so for practicality you should live in a similar time zone.
If you struggle with this too, please feel free to message me and we can exchange numbers 😎

[young umbra]

I struggle with the same thing, but im from Brazil lmao, the time zone is really different

[river tusk]

@blissful harbor It's an app to create flashcards

Guys I am struggling with anxiety, I need help. Basically I have no problem in waking up early and learning around 10-12 hours a day. But I get really anxious at nights before sleep.

And sometimes I get anxious while studying. It really holds me down from doing my best

[modest dirge]

its a spaced repetition flashcard app you can use on your computer or your phone

[river tusk]

And also I barely get good sleep. I think I am anxious about the next day

Any tips?

I have been suffering for this, for like the past thre months, I have also taken medications and visited a doctor couple times. It helps when I don't study. But when I study, the anxiety hits in

Mention me, if you got any solution. Thanks

[dreamy river]

hey have you ever tried to meditate? or something along those line, things like this really help whether it is breathing exercises, colouring or anything you find relaxing. you can try doing something for 30ish mins before going to sleep and it normally helps.

[river tusk]

I do meditate 20 minutes a day. 10 minutes in the morning and 10 before sleep. I also run for like 30 minutes (I heard it helps)

But they didn't work out for me.

[dreamy river]

i cant really say much about running since I havent tried it (i dont lrlly like running), i rely on working out to help me feel better (physically and mentally) but try doing something else that you genuinley enjoy so that you can take your mind off of everything in your surroundings

[river tusk]

I watched almost every single Youtube Video related to this. Tried all of them. So I thought, maybe someone with a similar experience could help.

Yeah, that's a good point. I don't really do something that I genuinely enjoy. I will consider that

[dreamy river]

personally, youtube videos havent helped me, although meds and spending time doing what i liked helped.

[river tusk]

Oh okay. So you had this problem too?

[dreamy river]

you can try learning a new skill - not something you will get frustrated learning though. I started learning how to play the guitar which can be tricky but I like it so i think thats helping

[dreamy river]

yes, kind of. ive have anxiety for a while

[river tusk]

Ummm. Thanks for your time and response

[dreamy river]

no problem! but i highly suggest spending time doing something you like even if its for 10 mins a day

[river tusk]

Sure I will!

Btw where are you from?

[dreamy river]

canada, wbu?

[river tusk]

India :)

[dreamy river]

ahh thats cool, im Indian tho

[river tusk]

Oh lol.

[peak delta]

i normally work myself out until i am tired and then i just lay on my bed and i don't really reflect on anything or think about anything

i have this one friend and he works out before he goes to bed so he gets super tired before bed

[river tusk]

I thought about doing that. But I searched about it on Youtube, and they said working out or running before sleeping is not good.

[cosmic grove]

Hey! I dealt with anxious thoughts, jitters, and body aches due to being restless mind-last year. I thought what helped me was to be mindful in everything I do and really listen to my body - breaks, even long ones, are important to make sure your body and mind are still ok! Long walks help (for me sometimes even 3-4 hours at time), changing my diet and sleeping pattern were also very practical changes that helped!

[river tusk]

Wow. 3-4 hours of walk? How do you manage to study then?

[cosmic grove]

OOO and shutting off social media. Very cliche advice but it really helped with feeling overwhelmed

[river tusk]

I don't even use social media lol. I am a lonely guy.

[cosmic grove]

I usually go right when I wake up - I tend to study, at least for how my schedule was last term, at noon and evening, so I managed to balance everything

[river tusk]

I use discord like after 4 years or so. I thought maybe speaking to people with similar mindsets would help

[cosmic grove]

That might have to change now lol

[cosmic grove]

Definitely! Reaching out is the first step

[river tusk]

You mean about the lonely part?

[river tusk]

Sure is

[cosmic grove]

nono I meant about my schedule, sorry didn't mean to send it right then hehe

[river tusk]

Ah okay.

Thanks. I will try what you said

Being mindful 👏

[cosmic grove]

hope it works out! also, don't be too hard on yourself! working in times like this is like 10 times harder than usual, so allow some room for mess-ups and struggles, you'll be just fine at the end of it all 🙂

[river tusk]

Thank you. It was nice speaking to you

[cosmic grove]

Of course!

how to remember the valency table?

[shell shell]

hello

[short thistle]

how the hell do yall stay motivated to study for a long time

[young umbra]

@short thistle I can't really point out exactly why. However, I always feel refreshed and happy whenever my study sessions are finished. When all the pressure is gone, you can pretty much do everything else with enthusiasm.

[balmy coral]

studying with people holding me accountable is one of the things that helped me a lot
whether they're watching me do schoolwork or my friends are telling me to do my schoolwork

[river tusk]

You don't have a problem like that when you're driven. But if you are not driven, maybe watch motivational videos everytime before you study

[reef falcon]

after a lil bet you get into the flow state, it turns into habit after a while so it's easy. definately hard at first, just need to keep it up

[young umbra]

What are some good resources for GRE preparation?

[young umbra]

The more questions u solve related to valency, more the valency no.s will come naturally to you.

Few things I did:

1. Memorized the periodic table which helped me remember the elements and their atomic no.s, that way I calculated the valency

2. Made a list of valencies of common elements and taped it near my study table

Hope that helps! Good luck!

[rapid grotto]

I started with a bunch of used GRE books that I collected for cheap from other students. Then I bought my own Princeton Review book and that was the most helpful - the practice questions are harder which helps if you're trying to get a very high score in a certain subject.

In China there are some students who walk while reading

[tough peak]

You could also open a window to make it colder, stand up instead of sitting, sit on a nail or something

[formal quail]

maybe like reward yourself w a piece of candy every page or so, so you have smth to look forward to in order to stay awake

[verbal rune]

sit on a nail?!

[tough peak]

Or in the long term try to do something about your sleep rhythm

[worldly python]

Wouldn't advice eating that much candy

[tough peak]

Ye bro aint falling asleep with a nail in your cheeks

[formal quail]

true, maybe fruit?

[verbal rune]

what do you think McIntosh means when she writes that admitting white privilege means giving up “the myth of meritocracy”?

hlp pls :)))

[turbid creek]

heey yes 🙂

in France tho haha

[loud sierra]

I'm talking out of my ass here tbh but i would guess that it would give up the idea that all a person's achievements are "deserved" ig, as a result of hard work. When you admit white privileges you might have to also admit that you have gotten where you are today partly because of that privilege, and not only your own skills and hard work.

But also I've never read the book or know who this person is lmao, it's just how I would interpret that quote out of context as a random person

[wet chasm]

how can i stop hearing the ping sound when people join and leave the call

hey guys!

[uncut tangle]

hello

[night gale]

morning

[young umbra]

suuppp

[silver umbra]

Uhhhhhhhhh so I have a life related question, just asking , what is being successful in life means to you ? Like what is that you do and then say yes I became successful?

Just earning huge amount of money?

[night gale]

depends on one's perspective on life , usually it's achieving 'happiness'

[reef falcon]

being happy and not having to worry about necessities like healthcare, food and safety (including family)

[night gale]

some consider moving from their town a success
some consider being healthy is success
etc etc

like there is no absolute definition to success

[silver umbra]

Hmmmm

[young umbra]

happiness is delusion 🥲

[night gale]

If someone is happy (truly happy... not just thinking they are happy in the short term) with their own life, they are successful.

[young umbra]

Understanable

[silver umbra]

So like how do you know , that you will be "happy" after doing a certain thing?

Peeps say , explore yourself , but how to do that ;-;

[reef falcon]

do random stuff and pick up random hobbies and read about random stuff

[young umbra]

idk man ive never been happy for a long time

[silver umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/understandable-have-nice-day-have-a-great-day-have-a-good-day-nice-gif-20850110

[uncut tangle]

This is a very broad question. What does it mean to be successful in life? Well, there is no way to answer that without first knowing the person. What does being successful mean to you? Does it mean having material value? Does it mean being socially popular? Does it mean having an important role in history.... who knows. You can grow as a person and your views on being successful change as you change. Your goals from when you were a child are most likely changed. William James once said "The greatest revolution in our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their inner minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives"... In the end, you are what you believe, and if you believe that you are already successful than by that fact you are indeed SUCCESSFUL.

[young umbra]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-amused-really-clapping-clapping-hands-gif-15245667

good one

[silver umbra]

Hmmmmm , thank you

[uncut tangle]

What does being successful mean to me? Hmmmm, in the end not even I can answer that fully right now. Being happy is being successful for me but refraining from being so selfish... the people around me being happy is what makes me happy.... so I guess... happiness.....

[silver umbra]

Yeah , probably , I will be able to answer about myself as I grow up more

[night gale]

aside from happiness , it's currently 7:46 AM and i just remembered that i have an algebra test @ 8AM 🥲

[silver umbra]

All the best

[night gale]

ty

have a good day

[young umbra]

lmaooo

[uncut tangle]

Believing is the first step to passing

[young umbra]

[sturdy flax]

also how to have a sleep schedule like Jimmy

I'm asking this at 3am btw

[reef falcon]

eat well, try to have no caffeine in your diet (messed with sleep schedule more often than not), and try to be in bed around an hour before you want to fall asleep

[manic lance]

Can i use forest code on free version?

[molten hemlock]

[balmy coral]

you need to pay 1.99 to use the forest code and grow trees with others! otherwise the app is free if you want to grow a tree on your own i believe

[minor thorn]

oh what,,, it’s like 1.99 for me if i want to install it :/

if you cant use forest, there’s also flora! i usually use that or the forest chrome extension

[acoustic sedge]

Flora > Forest, change my mind 👀

[minor thorn]

can’t really have a full on opinion on that yet, i dont have forest installed so idk the differences in them

it seems like they’re both similar tho,, so whatever works for anyone is good enough :DD

[formal skiff]

Im studying but nothing is really staying in my brain

any tips on improvements?

[weak lily]

I have the same issue the last few days. I just can't memorise anything

[young umbra]

Getting more consistent with studying helps. Create a ritual and separate study space so your brain is primed when you actually start

Do short (30 - 60 mins) burst of focused work on a single task/subject

And try not to mix subjects on a single day if you can avoid it

[formal skiff]

Ah I've been mixing subjects

like 3 different subjects

[young umbra]

Also summarising by hand is the most beneficial and actualy struggling on math problems etc. helps a lot

Since I started writing instead of typing while studying, my grades have increased a lot

[formal skiff]

I see, I should focus completely on one subject a day?

I do written notes and promodoro

[young umbra]

Only if your schedule allows

Sometimes you have no choice but to do multiple subjects, but it's better for your brain to focus on one at a time

Especially with problems with comprehension, your brain could mix things up

[formal skiff]

I see

thank you

[young umbra]

You are very welcome!

Taking breaks is also very important. And try to make them as efficient as possible

So do something completely different from the studying, try to get up and walk around a bit etc.

Thomas Frank on Youtube is a great resource to help with productivity during studying and in general

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG-KntY7aVnIGXYEBQvmBAQ

[formal skiff]

Thank you for the recommendation I will take a look

[young umbra]

Good luck! ❤️

I have a math question,
how can you estimate y when 3^y = 20
or a when x^a = y

[silver umbra]

Log?

ylog 3= log 20

Log 3= 0.4771

Log 20 = 1+0.301

ohh… hm… it’s difficult to find someone you truly vibe with..

[young umbra]

Hello my friends

[reef falcon]

this is a rare thing (at least a few years before corona it was) but I met my bf through gaming, over a few years we became good friends (online only) and found out we were actually pretty close to each other and we met up, developed a crush on each other and etc, and we are here today in a very well standing relationship. not saying this is a sure fire way to get a good partner but it's one way you could try, especially with corona

[hazy arrow]

that’s such a cute story 🤧

[young umbra]

Congrats man!

[reef falcon]

ty all haha 😊

someone in the study group perhaps 👀

[oblique gorge]

How to study after a long gap like a month

[reef falcon]

there's a few chillout rooms and some people do game nights, plus there's general chat and school work chats (although they are mainly for help, conversations do go on)

[median mauve]

Aye can anyone help me with some mechanics?

[young umbra]

How old are you?

Don't worry too much about finding someone while you're still young. It's great time to get to know yourself

The right person will end up on your path eventually, no matter how cliché it sounds

I rushed into relationships and none of them were particularly great

[young umbra]

I know it seems like it sucks, but those things will come

I'm 27 and up until like 25 I didn't have any friends. For some it takes longer than for others, but there's always someone for everyone haha

In the meantime I worked on being comfortable being by myself and now, while everyone stresses about not being able to go out etc. I am living a very comfortable life

[night gale]

it's all about your attitude towards people , it is possible that some consider you a good friend but you just don't c it

[young umbra]

This also

[night gale]

also the circle of friends in your age is always rotating

[young umbra]

Honeatly, the fact that you're open about this makes me like you

A lot of people appreciate vulnerability, because everyone is insecure about something

[night gale]

trust me at your 20s people will realize your worth

i was a loner myself , so i had to do everything by myself

thus i had a decent skillset , and when it was time to get into dorm or any little community

you'll stand out

[young umbra]

Damn, that's kinda badass

[night gale]

now i like this guy

[young umbra]

Haha yeah

Will you be my best friend?

Just know that everyone has flaws, so finding the perfect match highly unlikely

But you ll start to care for people despite and even because of them

[broken escarp]

What are yall on about?

[young umbra]

These things are cliché, because they happen a lot

Hahaha

It has its merits

[silver umbra]
