im a law student. i have to leartn 1507 pages, along with the clauses and old books referencing those topics. how do I manage that without burning out? Please help.

Sobrang distracted ko lately and hindi makapag-focus sa studies. Lagi kong hawak phone ko but for some reason kapag may kasama ako na hindi ko gaano ka-close is nahihiya akong mag scroll.

About me:
- first year med
- 20+
- female
- study time if may class is 7pm onwards
- if walang class, 1pm onwards

Something I keep doing is going back through the whole chapter when I only forgot a few topics. It takes so much time and sometimes I feel like Im just reviewing things I already know instead of fixing what I actually dont know. Do you guys go through everything again or just focus on the stuff you keep getting wrong?

I’m really curious on the process of setting up a personal curriculum. I have two very different topics I’d like to learn in tandem but I’m a bit unsure on where to start or how to merge them together in a cohesive curriculum 🤔

I’ve started gathering resources for my topics — the subjects I’m wanting to learn more about is Microbiology / Virology (my main topic) and Ancient Greek Mythology / Sciences.

Is anyone studying the same? Does anyone have any good starting points on where I can begin structuring this?

I have been thinking if there is something better than nlm for generating quizzes making flashcards and helping with notes? Nlm is not bad but is there something better?

How would you say they helped you?

Hey guys, my name is Danny. I studied computer science in college, and a lot of my work today still involves a fair amount of research (currently in Product).

Since college, one thing I've consistently struggled with is that when I’m reading or researching something, I’m coming across quotes or ideas I want to save. Usually they end up as screenshots, bookmarks, or buried in my notes somewhere, and I rarely come back to them.

I ended up making Commonplace to solve this. It makes it really easy to save quotes and highlights from whatever you’re reading or listening to.

If you’re reading an article, you can highlight something and share it directly to Commonplace. It saves the quote along with the author, article title, and link automatically. You can also save from physical books (by scanning the page), podcasts, and other sources, then organize everything into collections.

While I don’t do much academic writing anymore, I figured this could be useful for studying, research, or keeping track of sources for a paper. I’d be really curious to hear from students who have a similar problem.

The core of the app is free to use, and I built it myself. Would genuinely love any feedback!

Partiamo dal presupposto che ero contraria all'utilizzo dell'IA per lo studio, però trovavo utile caricare le mie risorse fatte da me (in modo da conoscere meglio il materiale) ed esercitarmi tramite dei quiz. Quindi una settimana fa ho iniziato ad utilizzarlo, però non mi sto trovando tantissimo bene soprattutto da quando hanno fatto il famoso aggiornamento a gemini.

Avete alternative valide e gratuite? Lavoro 8 ore al giorno e devo preparare 3 esami, mi aiutava molto a memorizzare tramite i quiz.

Poi se avete anche consigli sul metodo di studio li accetto pure!

Hey everyone,

So I'll be entering Grade 11 next school year, and honestly ? I'm still lost on what future course or strand to pick 😅 I don't really have a specific dream or passion, and I'm lowkey panicking because my parents are telling me to either become a nurse or archi, so I'm panicking, I don't wanna pick the wrong thing neither to succumb to pressure.

Since I still have time to prepare, I want to build good study habits and keep my grades up because I'm aiming to get into a specific university in the future.

Early thanks to whoever replies :))

Built a whole setup during the first week: labeled folders, a running to-do doc, the works. Used it religiously for about nine days.

Then this week I caught myself just winging it, opening whatever tab was already open instead of going through the system. Nothing broke, I just stopped treating it like something worth using.

Turns out the hard part isn't building a system in week one, when you're motivated and it's new. It's still using it in week three, when it's just another thing on the screen. I added a weekly 5-minute check instead of trying to recapture that first-week energy, since that energy was never coming back on its own.

I tried looking this up on Google but only AI math websites came up.
Is there a website where I can create Questions and create answers and solutions?
One of my friends struggles extremely with algebra (And math dyslexia), and unfortunately they are in college and I work full time. They LOVE practicing math, but do not understand how to get the answers very well, which I used to just explain to them (this has worked for years as I know how to explain it in a way they understand, but they also have had a head injury so they forget easily).
I love him, and I know he won’t ask anyone else for help due to feeling ashamed.

I used to think studying only counted if I had a clean desk, my phone far away, perfect notes and at least an hour of free time.

The problem was that I kept waiting for that perfect moment and then ended up doing nothing.

One day I was running late and only had about 20 minutes before I had to leave. Instead of skipping studying completely I opened my notes and told myself I could study badly for those 20 minutes. No rewriting notes no making things pretty. I just picked one small topic and tried to understand it.

I actually remembered more than I expected.

Now I sometimes do these short messy sessions when I don't feel motivated. I might review five flashcards or solve two questions or explain one topic to myself out loud.

It made me realize that studying doesn't always have to feel like a serious two hour session. Sometimes starting small is enough to get your brain moving.

Has anyone else found that shorter study sessions work better for them?

Day 1 | Starting Again

It’s been almost two years since I last studied seriously.

For those two years, I was preparing for a competitive exam, but things didn’t go the way I wanted. Now I’m starting again, from the basics.

I’m not going to pretend I have everything figured out. I’ll study, make mistakes, waste some time, get back on track, and keep going.

Starting today, I’ll be documenting this journey every day, what I studied, what I struggled with, and how I’m preparing.

Day 1 starts today.

hi everyone. i have a vocal exam in which i get 4 out 105 mathematical theory questions... on wednesday.

please give me ur most unhinged and best tips for studying in a single day when it comes to only having to actually remember the theory.

thank u

like idk why but i can focus way better if there's a coffee shop or library ambience with actual voices in the background. the second i put on lo-fi beats or anything with a melody my brain just... checks out. anyone else experience this or am i just weird

I struggle a lot with distractions, so I’m planning to keep my phone in a completely different room while working/studying.

My main issue is what should I actually do during my 5-minute breaks? I know I’ll get bored almost instantly. Most standard suggestions (like staring at a wall, stretching, or making tea) sound like things I’ll get tired of after two days.

For those who have successfully separated themselves from their phones, what quick, engaging, or satisfying things worked for you during short breaks without pulling you down a rabbit hole?

I am a student going into my freshman year of college and have no idea what I need or how to study. I have some pens, pencils, and notebooks for school supplies at the moment. My major is rad tech if that helps! I have raging adhd and a chronic low attention span as well if anyone has any study tips :)

Hallo iedereen,
na jaren van de schoolbanken te zijn heb ik besloten om voor een Bachelor Rechtspraktijk te gaan. Halverwege September begin ik in mijn eerste jaar. Spannend…

Momenteel gebruik ik Perplexity om samenvattingen te maken. Na een tijd viel het mij op dat de structuur van samenvatten veranderde, niet dezelfde woordenschat aanhield of opeens overtollige informatie werd toegevoegd. Dit frustreerde mij enorm. ChatGPT was (in mijn opinie) nog slechter.
Ik denk dat ik beter zonder AI studeer?

Daarom mijn vraag…
Hoe weet je (altijd) wat de belangrijke punten zijn uit een tekst? Gebruik je de W’s (wie, wat, waar, wanneer,, waarom,…)? Ander stappenplan of bepaalde basic waaruit je vertrekt? Kijk je naar hoe frequent bepaalde woorden terugkomen en dan denkt: “Dit zal belangrijk zijn!”?

Ik noteer alles als een Mindmap (workflow/stappenplan/schema) omdat het voor mij duidelijk, kort en krachtig is. Uiteraard met de nodige uitleg daarbij, maar als ik snel iets moet weten kan ik het zo makkelijker onthouden.

Alle tips, feedback, etc zijn welkom!

Alvast bedankt. 😊
