I constantly struggle to keep my focus whenever I start studying, and I keep instinctively reaching for my phone after just a few minutes of studying to scroll on social media.

I asked for and received recommendations from other people on how they keep themselves locked in when studying. Then, I stumbled across a random post online about how someone pretended to vlog their study session (in time-lapse) to keep from touching their phone.

It sounds silly, but I decided to try it out. Surprisingly, it actually helped me stop reaching for my phone while studying because my device was actively filming me. It tricks my brain into staying fully locked in without ruining the study session.

I have a big problem taking notes while listening to lectures at the same time. My brain can't keep up and I struggle to take notes fast while listening to the lecture. How do you guys actually take notes in lectures?
