#

Anyone have advice on how to study better for exams? I have always struggled retaining information.

#

I tend to write dozens of pages of notes, yet my exam grades are rarely over 85%

grand ember
#

Im still working on it

#

this is like 1/20th of the part completed lmao

#

see if it could help

urban root
#

Thank u!!!!

#

Makes a lot of sense, this helps. I appreciate it < 3

mental palace? @coarse charm

coarse charm
#

yes

#

method of loci, if you will

urban root
#

sorry, what is that?

#

ohh

coarse charm
#

though I have practiced for some time so I think it's more effective now than ever

coarse charm
#

normally with the power of association

urban root
#

so, to associate something with an image or something?

coarse charm
#

you can associate information with a place, like, using your kitchen knives to store the capitals of countries

urban root
#

oh, never heard of this

coarse charm
#

using outdoors to remember your market list

#

it's almost infinite

#

you have to practice though

#

it gets kinda hard, but it is worth it imo

urban root
#

does not sound like it is easy to master

#

i will research, sounds interesting

#

cause my method rn isnt working

coarse charm
#

but I mean, I have fun doing it

#

because it makes my brain productive asf

#

and I'm doing other things with it

#

like creating 3d spaces and simulations in my head

#

though it's a hard process

#

but fun anyways

urban root
#

bro idunno if my brain is powerful enough for that

coarse charm
#

we all have the power, fren

urban root
#

just have to get to that point huh

coarse charm
#

I mean you can do whatever you want with it, I like to experiment with it because it will help in my field in the future (drawing)

#

so you can use a 2d space, simply

#

like a 2d top to bottom vision of your house

#

and store things there

#

or another really familiar place

#

and connect things there with the things you want to remember

urban root
#

i genuinely do not understand

#

cause if i wanted to associate things with objects i wouldnt remember

coarse charm
#

example: birthdays
I know 10 exact birthday dates of my friends
I associate things about them with the numbers of their birthdays

coarse charm
urban root
#

sure, yes

coarse charm
#

or the place you normally in the fridge where you store your eggs

#

that's the first step

urban root
#

so, i create a mental map ?

coarse charm
#

yes

urban root
#

i see

coarse charm
#

open this place whenever you can and every time you see the place/object, you will associate with the information

urban root
#

ohhhhhhhhhhh

#

i get it now

#

lol sorry i have hard time getting things

coarse charm
coarse charm
coarse charm
#

and now I have mental paintings of my friends in strange poses/situations to remember their birthdays, kek

urban root
#

hahah, what a way to remember

#

i like

#

i must test and see if i can somehow do this

coarse charm
#

you can do it fren

urban root

well, i get what you are going through, but hear me out, for the past 2 years i have learnt so many lessons about dissapointment, pessimism, and if there’s one thing i want to do to restart that would be to stop feeling powerless and negative. Take a word by a stranger, we all want the world to be a better place, so let’s start by smiling a bit more, be positive, let’s have faith, have hope in small things (they always say baby steps u know). So my answer is, nothing is wrong with you, or, with your family. It’s just the pile of work and the flow of life is kinda rough right now. There’s gonna be ups and downs, my friend

i try to find coupons on everything, i don't order food i try to make my own meals unless the delivery service is giving me coupons and i know i can save, for meals i generally just do rice and seasoned chicken (u can find tysons chicken in the frozen aisle at most chain supermarkets for 9.99 or cheaper ive seen 7.99), rice is self explanatory and for seasoning i just do lemon and pepper so that gets me through the eating portion of personal finances

#

in terms of wifi i split it with my roommates we have an unlimited plan, phone bill i'm on my slowest data plan but i rarely leave the house unless its for work so i'm almost always using wifi on the phone, subscription services i split with my roommates too (spotify, netflix)

Guyz thing is, i literally take too long to finish a chap and even after im done, i hardly retain anything i just studied

Any advice?

young umbra
# young umbra Yes but i still take too long

what are you studying? because i would suggest not to focus on time, it actually makes it harder (in my opinion) to retain informations. To retains infos i would recommand you read and focus on understanding the matter first and then separating different parts of the chapter and make little notes

young umbra
#

I see

#

i had to look up what was the gcse lol, for science related courses try and find passed years subjects

#

is it only multiple choice questions?

# lethal pulsar how do i study without getting distracted?

Switch off your mobile phone
Go into a silent room
Motivate yourself
See James scholz and think if he can study around 10-12 hours daily without getting distracted then why can't you
Take a small pocket diary and write your tasks that you have decide to do for the particular day and don't sleep or move your task, cuz you will have a lot of backlog and stuff in the end , which will pressurise you
If you can't go for long sitting hours then you can just divide your time
Like if you want to study for 6 hours then you can divide it as 3 hrs in the morning and 3 hrs in the evening or 2 hrs time period
And ya one more whenever you are getting distracted think about your goal , think about why are you studying and control your desired as much as you can
And at the end reward yourself after you have finished the tasks

This what I do to study well with concentration

Well, here the colleges are required to provide you some sort of a apprenticeship program and as a nifty motivation for companies to hire you for the time your payment is also excluded from taxation. Depending on the thing you want to do, usually a portfolio of projects is a good way to start. @lyric stump

grand ember
#

Notes that i used in 10th grade

#

hope they help

lyric stump
# celest ledge Can you expand on that?

Yeah I mean like if we want to do some paid projects, how can we start on that. For example where do we find resources such as websites where we can go job hunting and also like if you’re a first year student what kinds of things you can do in your summer break

#

My college will provide an apprenticeship program at the end of third year

#

What kind of work you're looking for if I may ask? IT? Design?

lyric stump
#

I’m doing engineering so we’ve been taugh softwares for 3D modelling such as solidworks, then python, arduino chips, data handling and analysis and a lot of chemistry and maths. Basic first year knowledge

#

So I’m wondering if i want an internship or just a project what can i do

grand ember
#

btw the retaining problem is in sst?

#

cuz i had the same prblm too

celest ledge
#

Well, I would say look for short positions as data analytic. As I understand it (second year of software engineering) in the IT field, experience is the key for actual job you want to do, so don't be extremely picky about the job market at the moment.

#

Not sure if you can get into freelance with your current skills but perhaps they need 3d artists and modellers somewhere for short term

#

Try to ask your profs about possible jobs that use the things they taught you, perhaps they can have a few connections to link you up, then scan the market for something

#

And as an advice from myself, if the job looks a bit too high for your current skills, apply anyway, in my experience those descriptions are usually inflated and if need be you can pick up a specific technology in a week max

grand ember
#

@young umbra well i made flowcharts for civics and eco u can make like these for every chap u study also after a week i could revise this whole pdf in around 30mins so uk more revision gradually take less time

#

i had the same retaining prblm but flowchart trick solved all revise em daily Good luck!!

#

​should i study the same subject all day long or switch up subjects in time intervals?

young umbra
#

I would say stick to the same one all day

#

Your brain can get confused with which concepts belong to which subject

#

Focussing on a single subject also makes it easier to get into the flow state

hexed plover
#

@young umbra Why do you think schools have you do multiple subjects in a semester?

young umbra
#

Because you need a variety of knowledge, and time management is a big part of growing up

#

You can't just do one subject in a single semester

#

But there's multiple days in a week

hexed plover
#

yeah variety makes sense

young umbra
#

And schools are not really made for how the brain functions best

#

They are stuck in the past

hexed plover
#

Like im thinking of either learning programming first then calculus or both at the same time

#

its kind of confusing

#

thank you for the input and help

young umbra
#

If you do want to do multiple subjects in a single day, try to get some time between them before switching

#

So your brain can process what you learnt

hexed plover
#

thats a great suggestion

#

a refresh would def be needed

It is quite normal to compare yourself to other people in order to know where you stand. You can use this pressure in a positive way to improve yourself in your own way. But you shouldn't judge yourself. You can't beat everyone and doing as much as everyone. But you can put more work in it than yourself from yesterday ASpeepoPats @verbal rune

Good evening everyone, I'm having a hard time getting down to work.
At first it was fine, but by dint of associating negative emotions (anger, frustration ...) I am "afraid" to revise, and I therefore procrastinate.
I am already more than a month to postpone it, but just seeing the file of my classes makes me feel bad.
I think I lost confidence in my ability to work and I think I just found out that it was just the "fear of failure", the fear of trying and then giving up again, I think I did. 'Self-sabotages in a way by procrastinating because I know it takes effort and I don't have confidence in my ability to keep the effort going for the long haul.

I would like to have your opinion and your advice on this please guys.

Sorry if it's poorly written, I used google translate.
Thank you for your answers in advance

#

I hope I wrote this in the right(or good?) channel too lol

Often the hardest part is starting. The longer you wait, the bigger that mountain becomes. But you can never climb it unless you start. So try to do at least 5 minutes of work every day. You'll see that once you get started, you will be more comfortable tackling the rest of the work

#

It's a psychological trick where your brain will think "I already started, might as well do some more work"

#

And if you don't do more than 5 minutes of work, at least you gave it a shot

#

Today I got there.
But I was interrupted, and eventually I slumped over my phone and didn't touch it again. At one point, I hovered my mouse over the review folder, then felt uncomfortable, and didn't click ...

#

Man, I know that feeling

#

It's scary when you feel like you can't win anyway

#

But you'll fail for sure if you don't do anything

#

And we both know you'll feel better having at least tried than not at all

#

Yeah you're right
Tonight I will try to get back to it even if I don't have much time.
Besides that I'm reading Carol Dweck's book on the growth mindset, I think it can help me a lot.
Anyway thank you very much for your messages

try to build interest in subjects

An example How i build interest :
like i had a chapter in chemistry in which i studied how the charge on an electron was calculated "it was found out by an experiment named Millikan Oil drop experiment performed by robert millikan and harvey fletcher Later on Millikan got a noble for the same" this was written in my textbook but the thing is when i researched what were the contributions given by both i found out mainly Harvey fletcher did the experiment and not millikan but only millikan got noble y tho? lmao so i searched about it and FOund an newspaper article from June 1982 which kinda described the situation which happened and later on wiki i found out the secret deal that happened b/w the 2 hahahhaha

#

But you can make the studying more intrinsically motivated by thinking about your desired future and what your degree will do to make that a reality

#

For me it helps to think that no matter if I do something with my degree or not, I will know that that piece of paper shows I have a certain level of intelligence and critical thinking

#

So it will help me in the future nonetheless

#

It also helps to make knowledge gathering your goal... Like with other important parts of your life (i.e. health and finances) diversification is the key to success

#

Once you find subjects that truly interest you, you can go deep and master it

#

grades are a good way to motivate urself

Hi guys, I'm trying to focus more in school and tbh I don't really take notes that much and when I do they're messy and unorganized and I don't retain much knowledge from them. Is there any tips you guys can give me for efficient note taking?

#

I'm really trying to pick up my studying and I feel like notes is probably a good place to start fixing

young umbra
#

As you take notes more often, you become more and more efficient

#

Maybe take a day to develop a system for yourself

atomic thorn
#

Ah I see Thank you very much

#

one of my main problems with note taking is just how slow I am at it

young umbra

Make a list of symbols you will use a lot

# atomic thorn Hi guys, I'm trying to focus more in school and tbh I don't really take notes th...

everyone is different. what I might find effective you may not. and at the start it's about fail and error. put the time and work in and you'll find what works best for you. they don't have to be perfect and neat and all that - as long as you understand them and u didn't just copy stuff down you should be good. also there are specifications that tell you exactly what you should know for the exam. most times some textbooks have extra info and such. make sure you covered everything that's on the spec and then you can build on it. start from inwards towards the outwards if that makes sense with the middle as the testable information you will see in the exam most likely. what I do is also practice exam papers with the markschemes and whne i get stuff wrong repeatedly add that specific line of answer into my notes (the markchemes in my exams are oddly specific). make sure u consolidate them too. it's really about showing up and getting them done in order to best understand the leaning technique for you. it will become more efficient and less of a struggle to go about it

young umbra
#

Do your classes use powerpoint slides?

atomic thorn
#

Yes

#

My teacher posts them every morning

#

should I make notes from the class and then from the slide?

young umbra
#

Then I recommend not really focusing on what is on the slides (for the note taking in class), but rather writing down what the teacher says as much in your own words and maybe writing down the slide numbers next to the text

#

What the teacher says you can't really listen to again, but you can always look back at the slides

atomic thorn
#

That's true

#

Is it keywords usually that you try to write when you take notes?

young umbra
#

In general theres two rules to every class:

  1. The teacher is always right
  2. If that's not the case, refer to rule 1
atomic thorn
#

True true

young umbra
#

Meaning, the teacher will talk about what's most important

atomic thorn
#

I see

young umbra
#

So making a list like

  • This
  • And this
  • And like this

And then write it in sentences when I get home like I do now.

#

But really, practice makes perfect

atomic thorn
#

I see

#

Thank you, I'm gonna try this right now

young umbra
#

❤️

#

Take an hour or so to create a bit of a system

#

Use different symbols for differents types of information

#

If you want, I can send a pic of my notes later

#

If you remind me in an hour or so

atomic thorn
#

Yeah man that would be awesome

#

Should I Dm?

or just ping is fine

Either is good!

@atomic thorn In addition to what was said before, it helps to read the slides or the course material before, to get a general idea. I find it helps with note taking during class, since the information is not so new, and you're not overwhelmed

atomic thorn
#

most of the time I don't really get much material before classes in online school as there's no textbooks

#

But thank you though it'll help when I return to in person

@young umbra Yooo

#

I managed to revise.
It was at work lol, there was nothing to do so I was like "Why don't you get my phone out and try to study? I have absolutely nothing to lose" then I learned my whole lesson on my cell phone.
Ditto last night, following your advice I revised 5 minutes on my bed (I feel motivated when I sleep, because usually I know that I'm not going to do anything so I feel myself growing wings, except that there I did something, it's quite weird actually)

# atomic thorn Should I place more of an emphasis on main concepts and leave out little details...

if u gotta score max possible marks then u gotta cover maximum possible RELEVANT info lol
yea so cover each and every RELEVANT detail and if ur notes seem too long to review after then make another short notes covering all the important concepts
Like from a particular concept u got 4-5 questions in last 3 years question papers then its a main/important concept give more time to it and do add them in ur short notes
also try attempting more questions cuz testing is even more imp than learning ngl

Unless you have the exact words or meanings provided beforehand for each sentence, I doubt you can use flashcards to study for literature. It is best to understand concepts. I don't know the rules for this topic, but for example, for lines 10-13 you can write about the emphasis the author poses on the feelings of the character, asking rethorical questions about love, trying to find meaning in the actions of his love interest

because when i passed the bac I had previously written a card per text (and i had about 20) you should focus on the writters and the era they wrote in

#

know what type of style it is (like naturalisme, surréalisme,...)

#

hey, i really am in a bad place. i didn't studied quite well this year and the past, i know one thing or other about some subjects, and somehow passes until now. i want to study everything and put myself back in place so i can focus and give my best to try and do better, i feel really bad about what i did (i'm the first year of high school), i might fail some subjects this semester (i'm from brazil so we can go to recuperation), how can i learn most of the content that i lost?

queen stag
#

hey! i would recommend focusing on not failing first, even if that means memorizing a lot. after that, you can use your vacation and weekends to go back and study the content you lost. if your school allows it, ask your teachers if you can go to recuperation and recover grades, or even do some projects and essays. more over, i am also from brazil, and i am in my first year of high school as well. at least in my school, we review all the content we learned on past years during our years of high school (as preparation for enem), so even if i forgot something, i will be learning it again. check if your school does that too, and if it does, then dont worry a lot, youre gonna see it all again. if it doesnt, use your vacation and weekends to learn the lost content.

young umbra
#

yes, i'm studying to the next essays i will have (and nice to see we have another brazilian, haha), i have some tomorrow and i will try my best, i know most of the content

#

but i don't have much time to learn that much

#

so i can't organize it quite well

#

i need to study portuguese, literature, math and physics, but the time is too short, how can i organize this much content?

well, you have a lot of time lol. focus on portuguese and literature first, solve some exercises on both. after you studied them, go to math and physics, look at the theory and go over exercises again. even if you dont believe in yourself, make a run for it, i am sure you will be able to do it. make a to-do list to track your progress and focus on topics you suck at. btw, only read what will be on your exams, and if you have time, go over past exams of the subjects

young umbra
#

oh, yes, thank you. but how do i even start pshysic...? that's my major problem

queen stag
#

do you know what will be on the exam? like, the modules or pages?

young umbra
#

yes, i know which are the subjects, but in physics i have to study since the base

#

and i missed the base

#

also, on literature, i have some parts that i don't get it, and is nowhere to be found what i can do with the information, i already talked to my teacher, but i can't help myself from worrying

queen stag
#

well, you have a lot of time for physics, so you may want to watch some videos on the subjects (even the basics) and take notes of the formulas. you can put all formulas and basics on a post-it note (if you want i can send you a photo of how i did it), and solve as much exercises as possible. exercises will save your life, the theory is not enough alone. on literature, try searching info online, you may find exercises, videos and you can even expand your knowledge there

hey guys i just kinda had a general question. i prefer handwriting and not typing. the problem with this is that my hand hurts a lot, and i would like to hear what you guys do if you have the same problem. i know taking a break should help, but sometimes i'm kinda tight on time so taking a break isn't feasible and, with that logic, massages aren't too feasible either. what do you guys advise? thanks in advance.

wise maple
#

In high school I switched over to an old fountain pen I found, with fountain pens you glide over the paper and don't have to press or squeeze your hand to keep the grip tight - Worked wonders for me. No more hand cramps and could write a lot

#

For writing speed though it might come recommended to consider electronic writing as it is much faster, and then format your notes clearly with manual writing on paper - Reinforces the notes you have and might help you make better notes/new connections when you think over how you want to write them

tender yoke
#

Yes, I write with a ballpoint pen.

#

To get the ink and everything just seems a bit weird to me.

#

also ig it could leak

#

and i spill everything lol

but thanks for the advice.

#

do any of you wear pain relief patches when writing? a friend of mine does that but idk how i feel about it

just seems costly to wear one every single day and keep buying them

# young umbra okay I've had a shit study day... if anyone wants to share their iNsPiRaTIoNAL q...

Okay, I don't have a quote for you, just a few words. I think you shouldn't overdo yourself and learn to appreciate such failures too. These bad days when you cannot concentrate very well are the ones that are important. Every step is necessary and most of all you are not a robot. Get rest and heal and the next day you go on. I wouldn't put too much pressure on myself to learn perfectly. Distractions are normal and common. But maybe meditation can help you. ASpeepoPats

what's the best and fastest way to learn vocabulary? got a test tomorrow

young umbra
#

We've all been there! It's normal. If you want to stay in the same ballpark as calculus, but get a bit more daily applicable knowledge... I suggest going for business economics

#

Or you could challenge yourself even more and go for something you think you will have a hard time with. You'd be surprised how much you're capable of

slate elbow
#

i'd go for drawing. It's not easy though

#

by drawing you can also train your photographic memory (if you're into that type of stuff)

#

there's plenty of youtube videos on where/how to start. Most of them teach you basic geometry and how to apply it in your drawings (making the drawing as abstract as possible with shapes and working with them) and there's also videos on how to train on your own. Also reading manga/comics really helps as well and studying the authors' drawing skills and implementing that into your drawings

Ever since I started classes this year, I've found myself not studying for any exam. I eliminated all distractions, I tried some methods but I always find myself doing anything else but studying and then I end up paying the price (bad notes, no motivation, etc) all my friends get their ass to study the whole day if necessary but I simply can't and I would love to be able to do that for me, my family and my future. Is there anyone who felt this way? How did you overcome it? Thanks in advance!

So to overcome it in my perspective, firstly you have to clean your desk and the room like that you won’t be distracted, secondly use the best chair you have ( don’t be in your bed or in a sofa), thirdly take off every think that gives you time ( in this way, you will not be stress) , and finally tell yourself that you won’t do anything else without finishing your task. Don’t forget to make pauses( sleep, read ....) habitually when I’m working I’m feeling better than when I’m chilling , it’ just super hard to push ourselves into studying . ☺️☺️( and also you can motivate yourself with your own work, what I mean is that you can put every task that you have done visible.

#

Like putting your exercise done in front of you you will have the sensation of satisfaction

#

And sorry for my bad English please correct my mistakes( like that I will improve)😁

How effective is it in the long term? Like for an exam next year... Can it be used to replace notes? I'm uncertain if I should be making notes as well as flashcards, apart from practicing, of course.

wise maple
#

It works great but it doesn't replace notes

wise maple
#

So work with both, and use it to practice recall. Recalling something strengthens the memory and makes it easier for your brain to use

#

Word of advice though, be honest with the cards, there's spaced repetition and if you get it wrong don't click the "right" button because you'll just shoot yourself in the foot

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8SehiX7Bjc - ELASTIC HABITS - By making it easier to start a habit, by having different levels of difficulty, you make it easier to create the habit in the first place. It’s better do a little every day than only doing well every now and then. The lowest difficulty needs to be something you can do every day, no matter how long or bad that day was. Even when doing the lowest difficulty, you’re still making progress. Succes is a game of inches.
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VNmIxkyHd8 - BIG ROCKS FIRST - By filling your day with tasks that aren’t important, you can’t spend that time and energy on those tasks that really matter. It’s important to identify your most important task and work on that one first. For a student that would be studying for an exam or homework. After completing this single most important task, you can start to work on the second most important task. And then work on lesser and lesser important tasks. This is basically Eat That Frog!, so it’s also important to focus on that singular task until finishing it.
  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ckj33-567g0 - TWO ROADS - This is basically an anecdote on how your choices have consequences. There are two versions of yourself, the ideal and the worst version. Every decision you make takes you closer to either one of those versions of yourself. Eating some chocolate everyday is only 300 kcal per day, but in a year that could add up to 10kg.

With an external locus of control, you believe that factors outside of your control are what make you do well or not. With an internal locus of control, you believe that you are the one that controls how well you do in life.

How does a rank holder study or what's his routine?

wise maple
#

Rank holder?

#

What do you mean by rank holder?

young umbra
#

Umm.. a person who is like the topper of the class (sorry I am a bit bad at English)

wise maple
#

No problem

#

Studying habits are personal, but I guess it all starts with smart planning and doing work every day instead of just the week before exams for example

#

Many small rocks make a big hill and takes a lot less effort than creating a hill with only big rocks, if that makes sense

#

Also focusing on things you find hard instead of things you find easy engages your brain more and helps speed the learning process along

young umbra
#

So do what's hard everyday and revise it ?

wise maple
#

Not only do what's hard

young umbra
#

And concentrate on other subjects too

wise maple
#

Let's say you take a maths course

#

And you find addition (1 + 1) incredibly easy

#

But you find exponentation (8 to the power of 2) hard

#

Then optimally you should spend more time on the exponentation calculations than on the addition ones

#

To optimize even more you should switch up the exponentation with a little of addition and some algebra for example, by not repeating 1 thing your brain gets some time off to process

young umbra
#

Hmm so spend time on what's hard and give less time on what you know

wise maple
#

Yes

#

And be sure to take breaks, the connections in your brain are made when you rest

#

There's also a lot of books in the #book-recommendations channel which can help optimize and explain the studying process, books like "Atomic Habits", "A mind for numbers", and "Make it stick" for example can help provide insight in the world of studying

young umbra
#

So read these books they are really helpful, use pomodoros, follow a time table,give some breaks, spend time on what's hard more than what you know and sleep

wise maple
#

Yep

#

What works for someone else might not necessarily work for you, try to explore what works for you and you'll be golden

young umbra
#

I tried some but eventually ended up getting addicted

wise maple
#

Addicted to books?

young umbra
#

I used to follow pomodoros but in the breaks I used to play games

#

And it used to go pretty long

wise maple
#

Ah in that sense

young umbra
#

And now I stopped playing games

#

And I am tryna study

wise maple
#

Try rewarding yourself with playing a game after you've done studying, and use your breaks for doing things you don't have to focus on so intensely

#

Taking a walk for example, or getting some food or reading a few pages

wise maple
young umbra
#

So take a walk ?

#

Can I listen to e books ?

wise maple
#

Is just one example

#

Yeah sure

#

When you take a break for 10 minutes why not listen to the E-book

young umbra
#

Because people say traditional is much better

wise maple
#

And when you take a big break go for a walk for example

#

Reading can be nice and relaxing but there's more than 1 way to enjoy books, listening to them is perfectly fine

young umbra
#

Oh then I can listen to them because I relax through art or watch yt I can avoid yt and try listening to books

wise maple
#

Yes for example, art and youtube are also fine but with youtube especially it's hard to turn it off once the break is over

Yes , so pomodoro, listen to e books , time table, breaks like walking or art , spend time on what's hard and less time on what you know and sleep

And can I add revisions?

Help, how i can sleep early guys?

young umbra
#

That depends on a lot of factors

#

But mostly it's about good sleep habits

young umbra
# lost sky Help, how i can sleep early guys?

Ooo had the same problem. Um I forced myself to wake up at a fixed time for a couple of days (at this point it takes a lot of effort) and because i was so tired it was easier for me to fall asleep earlier than usual. Also making the room dark and lowering the temperature can help. You’ll have to try a couple of times. The app ‘Alarm’ James uses also helps some I heard (not me personally)

Science recommends shifting your bedtime not more than 15 minutes in either direction when you want to work towards a new bedtime/wake up time

young umbra
# lost sky Help, how i can sleep early guys?

What are your sleep habits like? What do you do before going to bed? How many hours of sleep do you get in general? Do you have a specific bedtime? Do you stay in bed long after waking up? Do you snooze your alarm?

#

I force sleep at 00.30 and didnt work, i sleep 6-8 hours and usually wake up at 09.00 -10.00 am

#

Falling asleep is one of those rare activities that the more effort you physically put into it, the harder it will be

lost sky
young umbra
#

Your body has a hard time falling asleep when stressed, because your brain interprets that as being in danger

#

Feeling annoyed/disappointed because of not falling asleep is considered stress by your brain

There is no such thing as a sleep bank. skipping sleep one night and doubling it the other night is not a thing. Sleep is all about a certain substance that builds up in your body/brain that makes you feel tired, sleeping gets rid of/deals with this substance. And while naps don't "pay back" the sleep you've lost short naps (20-30 mins) can really help you if you need to concentrate; you can better sleep 30 mins and be concentrated for the next 60 - 90 mins then try and concentrate for 120 mins while constantly fighting back sleep and missing stuff.

@somber sierra so 👉 👈 you up for such sessions 90/30

Also, naps are nothing to be ashamed about!!
I often take naps if i went to bed late and am working on school in the afternoon, it makes concentrating so much easier

young umbra
#

The book Why We Sleep is a great book to read

#

It's written also in a way to help you fall asleep

young umbra

You ideally should get up right before you fall asleep

@violet elbow Do you need to study for a test?

violet elbow
#

Yea, exams are in about 3 days

young umbra
#

The best chance you have of passing is to get enough sleep, so your brain can retain the information

#

It needs sleep to transform short term memory into long term

#

But if you really want to, caffeine is your friend

#

But you will crash hard and you feel extremely tired

#

Your brain will have a hard time functioning during your exam

violet elbow
young umbra
#

Study as much as you can, but get sleep

#

And study the most important information before sleep

#

And make sure you take breaks as well

While you sleep you process and retain the information you have read/studied

You will have to become consistent with a regular sleeping pattern again

Unfortunately the world is not made for night owls

Any ideas? Thanks!

winter mountain
# mellow nacelle Im not sure exactly how to change it to be active.

The active version of it would be:

“The teacher always answers the students' questions.”

In an actively voiced sentence, the subject performs an action. In a passively voiced sentence, it’s the opposite; an action is performed by a subject.

I don’t know if this helps, English isn’t really my best subject.

So I’m getting a tad overwhelmed by the content. I am supposed to finish it in a month and I am going as quickly as I can but I really can’t put in more than 9h of revision per day average. So I need to resort to something else. And quickly. I assume I am not the first student faced with this issue in this Discord so um any tips? Or experiences that you want to share on the matter. It’s history so so there is no fixed amount of information you need to know but to write a top level essay you do need to be very well read in the topic assessed

I personally think that learning 9 hours a day is definitely enough and you should be careful not to learn too much and fall into a burnout hole. If you say to yourself that there is no real goal to finish, do as much as you can, but no more. Sleep, rest, movements and relaxation are things that help you learn things as well. Stress and pressure that you impose on yourself tend not to help you. It is better to make a learning concept that you can use as a guide. Try to make a plan in which you can do whatever you want this month. I wish you all success!

What personally are helping me too is the mindset of peace. You should say to yourself like "okay I'm stressed and i have anxiety about failing (or something else) but that feeling itself is completely normal. Give your stress a hug and say to yourself "its okay to be stressed." Rest a little bit and go on. Don't focus too much of the stress itself because that makes it scarier. When you make peace with the stress and anxiety that can help you too. Accept the feeling but don't let it guide you. CatRave

# young umbra How often do you take breaks, what do you do during breaks? How do you study?

Ahh I do about 9/10 blocks of 50 minutes per day average. I normally aim for 11 but sometimes I only do like 8. So I do 5 blocks in the morning from 7am to 12 (although I make the last one an hour) and then I have 30 minutes/1 hour break. Depends on how I am feeling. And then I do the rest and take another when I really need to. And during breaks I hand out with the fam or talk to people - I have a rule of not watching yt or anything like that until I finish all the studying. And my studying techniques I would say are pretty good. It took me a while to get to them. So my exam is sometime in october. Probably at the end. So I have more thna a month but I need a month to dedicate solely to essay practice. I need a lot of death. Those are also the moments some content really falls into place because you get to a very analytical point. I guess i need to be asking myself those questions… but um I am out of ideas. I think I need to accept I can’t have the perfect formula to this situation and I just need to keep going. I don’t have all the answers to have things perfectly in order. I am just estimating a lot of things… okay sorry for writing so much. I do feel better after writing this danke

Thanks for this. I recently came to some flaws in my prep too. For last 50 days, I have managed to study 490+ hrs, with 67 hours of burnout phases. Usually during these burnout phases, all I do is feel overwhelmed of the tasks at hand and beat myself up for not doing more. Imagine 67 hrs of just cribbing. I feel it would be better for my productivity to enjoy the process than be unsatisfied every time. Yet to hack that status of mind.

Someone who was a veteran in the exam I am about to take told me, they had to study for nearly 15hrs/100+ hrs a week to get it. It has made an impression on my mind. I have made suffering synonymous to success 😅 Also, I get concerned as I feel as, while I am slowly getting into that many hours of study(I see good change in my performances) I am also losing out on 30+ hrs that any other high performer would be hacking weekly. Imagine the loss! The patience here, comes in handy. But, sometimes the mind just retaliates. I am in a process to make it more fun to do things and enjoy rather than dreading it!😇

Sometimes it's worth it to suffer for a short while, to really push out every last drop... but this is never a sustainable thing. Your mind is pretty elastic, but it can break

Allow yourself peace of mind and know the world won't end if you don't everything perfect. I wholeheartedly agree with you trying to find more enjoyment in your studying. This is something you do to make your life easier and more eventful, not so you can suffer

Are you taking twice as long to finish your tasks? Trouble focusing for periods you're accustomed to already? Procrastinating? Do you find it harder to retain/recall information while studying?

How long do you sleep btw? Take a look at what you're eating as well. People tend to overlook their diet.

# dapper bloom Are you taking twice as long to finish your tasks? Trouble focusing for periods ...

The focus part hell yes. Procrastinating nah. And twice as long yes because of the focusinh. Well maybe not twice as long but longer than usual. As for sleep I aim for 8 each night and nearly every time I get them. Although I’ll admit for a couple of nights I experienced insomnia..? But that was last week. Since then I slept quite well… And i have a healthy diet. Hmm I think those nights might be catching up with me now even if I had some good nights recently. Thank you
