What actually helped me study better

I used to think I had to sit down for hours and finish one subject before moving on. Turns out, that just made me stare at the same page for 40 minutes 😭

What helped me was studying one topic for around an hour, taking a proper break, then switching to something else. I also stopped rereading my notes over and over and started closing them and trying to explain the topic from memory.

The biggest thing, though, was keeping track of what I actually got wrong. Those ended up being way more useful to review than going through everything again.

Still figuring out what works for me, but these made studying feel a lot less painful lol.

Help me find/choose a tablet suitable for school

I’m a student looking for a tablet mainly for notes, PDFs, browsing, and general school stuff. I want something I can bring to class instead of my laptop. My budget is mainly 10k-15k but if it's really good I can make ipon to 20k. I would also most likely buy online.

Currently choosing between:

• Xiaomi Pad 7

• Lenovo Xiaoxin Pad Pro 12.7

• Lenovo Idea Tab 11

• Redmi Pad 2 9.7

• Huawei MatePad SE 11

My priorities are:

• ✍️ Good handwriting/note-taking experience

•📄 Good display for PDFs and drawings

•🔋 Decent battery life

•🎒 Portable enough to bring to school everyday

•🗂️ Good multitasking/split screen

•📸 Decent camera for taking pictures of boards/documents

•💾 Enough storage for school files

•💰 Good value since I’m saving for it myself

• BONUS: good for gaming and watching

If you own/use any of these, what do you like/dislike, what issues have you encountered, and which would you recommend?

Memory techniques that actually work and changed how I study

This is not the usual "just take better notes" tip. I was struggling to remember what I had just studied due to my bad memory. No matter how long I studied, I still couldn't retain anything from it.

Until I tried to fix the way I study to help improve my memory retention.

The thing that actually helped me is studying repeatedly with the spaced repetition method. Instead of cramming everything in one sitting, I review within specific intervals. This helps me the most to fix how my brain stores information.

When I was studying, I used to study subjects back-to-back in one night. I realized that this method doesn't really help in storing information. Rather, I minimize my study subjects to one and never study about an hour before sleep.

After studying, I give myself a test to know if I can actually recall the material. It can be written or verbal. But I mostly write down what I just studied to know if there's anything I missed out on and couldn't remember, so I can immediately know what topics I am weak on.

These 3 tips actually helped me fix my memory retention. I went from cramming and studying every night while still not being able to remember anything, to fixed study sessions and habits that helped to improve my memory a lot better.

I Get Paid to Write Apologies

Found the weirdest side hustle: people pay me to write apology letters for them. Started as a joke, then people actually started sending requests. Now I’m wondering… would you ever pay someone to write your apology?

Chrome extension that inserts micro-delays into typing to confuse productivity trackers

some enterprise WFH tracking tools monitor typing cadence variance to detect whether an employee is actively drafting documents or copy-pasting text from ChatGPT.

wrote a lightweight Chrome extension that intercepts DOM keydown events when typing inside Google Docs or Jira. it introduces subtle, randomized 15-millisecond human micro-delays between keystrokes and occasionally injects a backspace-correction sequence every 40 words.

commercial drive-thru oil stain pressure washing is a $400/hr night gig

fast food store managers get slammed by regional corporate inspectors if the drive-thru concrete is black with caked motor oil. standard street sweepers can't strip oil drops.

micro-SaaS that auto-files formal noise complaints against illegal party buses in luxury HOAs

party buses blast subwoofers through luxury suburban corridors at 2 AM every weekend and city code enforcement takes weeks to issue fines.

built a simple web tool that lets HOA boards register their street corridors. when a party bus rolls through, residents click a button that captures local noise decibel logs, pulls the commercial vehicle registration, and auto-files formal administrative complaints with the city transit authority. charging HOAs $120/month.
