How can I take notes at university when I have an ADHD brain?

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?

How using Gemini actually saved my thesis (and how you can use AI for real research)

If you are stuck in the middle of thesis season right now, please stop using AI just to write text for your paper and start using it like a 24/7 study buddy instead! Honestly, Gemini kept me afloat during all those late nights when I was running on coffee, staring at confusing ANOVA tables, and trying to figure out messy formulas on my laptop. Whenever my teachers gave me scary revision comments, like suddenly telling me I had to add brand new statistical tests and harder charts to my experimental setup, I would just paste their exact feedback into the chat. It turned all that confusing feedback into a simple, step-by-step to-do list so I knew exactly what to fix without panicking. It also helped me make sense of my ANOVA results, spot mistakes in my testing steps, and explain what my numbers actually meant in plain words. Best of all, I had it act like a super strict teacher to ask me tough practice questions before my final defense, which made the real thing way less terrifying. It saved me hours of stress and guessing, so if you are grinding out your final draft right now, use it to check your work and practice, you've got this!

I built a physical desk dial that secretly skips my roommate's Spotify tracks

My roommate refuses to use headphones and listens to terrible EDM playlists while we work in the living room.

I bought a cheap rotary dial knob on Amazon, hooked it up to an ESP32 microcontroller, and linked it to his Spotify account via the API (I grabbed his auth token when he left his laptop open on the kitchen island).

It doesn't control the volume or pause the music. If I turn the dial, it just skips to the next track. He thinks his Spotify app is glitching out because it skips every time a heavy bass song comes on. I’ve had this running for a week and he still hasn't figured it out.

Commercial beer line chemical flushing for dive bars

Dive bar owners rarely clean their draft beer lines because they don't want to hire commercial draft technicians who push expensive equipment upgrades. dirty lines build up beer stone and wild yeast, making the beer pour foamy and taste sour.

i bought a 15-gallon recirculating line cleaning pump, a bottle of caustic beer line cleaner, and an optical refractometer off marketplace for $400 total. i walk into neighborhood taverns during their slow Monday afternoon shifts. i hook the pump directly to their keg couplers, flush the lines for 20 minutes, and test the flow rate. charge $150 for a 4-tap setup. takes half an hour and bar owners happily pay cash because it cuts their foam waste in half immediately
