I’ve been trying to use ChatGPT and Claude to help speed up my exam marking and lesson slide prep lately because my workload is absolutely burying me.

​But it feels completely useless for specific board exams. It either marks way too strictly or way too generously compared to the actual mark scheme, and the lesson outlines it generates look incredibly robotic. I feel like I'm spending more time correcting the AI than I would just marking the papers myself.

​Has anyone found a prompt or a specific workflow that actually forces it to stick strictly to an official board rubric? Or are we all just stuck doing this entirely by hand?

I’ve been trying to stick to a consistent box breathing routine for stress relief, but I'm hitting a wall with how reliant everything is on visual cues.

​It feels like every single video guide or online tool out there forces you to keep your eyes wide open to follow a glowing ring animation, track a moving circle, or count numbers in your head. To me, true breathwork means closing your eyes, clearing your mind, and completely disconnecting from the device. Instead, I find myself constantly opening one eye to peek at the screen just to see how many seconds are left on a hold phase. It completely breaks my focus state and gives me total timer fatigue.

​How do you guys handle your sessions without constantly checking a screen? Are there actual methods or tools that rely entirely on immersive sound design or subtle audio cues so you can keep your eyes closed the whole time?
