I’m an architect, I have two kids, a full time job and almost no hobbies. I was never a topper at school but I could easily score above average. I have a yearning to study but I have nothing to study for, do you get what I mean…
Hey people,
If anyone saw my other post about converting scanned PDFs to EPUB, welcome back. I implemented a lot of features based on the feedback I got from the users, so check it out if you want. Anyways,
After building that, my friends said to me that they read a lot of stuff online[articles, newsletters, blogs] and bookmark them. They wanted a tool to read them offline, just the way they read their book, with a clean structure.
So I built a Chrome extension.

HOW IT WORKS
Please try and tell me if you like it.
I know this sub wasn't intended for this type of discussions, but I need someone who may relate or expirenced this I wasn't really responsible good sleep, good eating habits and reasonable study time, constant pressure from myself, and ignoring signs of burnout, like insomnia, intense headaches, or wierd sensory signals like wierd metalic tastes or zapping neuron noise. Trying to push though by consuming coffee or listening to music. At some point, my mind snapped and I had mild psychosis symptoms, intense voices and noises, with I felt it was real but it wasn't. combined with strong headache, extremly unreal imaginations inside my mind, paranoja, and life-threating insomia (my mind just refused to sleep, I felt no need to sleep for 3 days, and only after taking meds or after I wasn't alone at my house, I could sleep or even attempt sleeping). my state improved, however I still feel sensory detachment like touch of water being "incorrect", loud noises being very intense, I fell like I overwhelmed my nervous system, my state is quickly improving but violently in non-life-threating way (my mind regenerates but in painfull way) what do you guys, recommed for recovery. I want to somehow pass, while not triggering those states. I have around 12 days before exam sessions will start, is here a possible recovery?
Pls share tips for not getting burnout and staying consistent
Genuinely, I don't know what happens to me in these early exams days😭
I'm in 9th grade and I always get a very high score with little study, this made me lazy and bored. Anyone who can help or have tips to make studying a little fun?
Creating cheat sheets is actually a great review activity the day before exams to help with active recall. I've used this method as my main reviewer every time I have exams, and it helps me organize all the key information onto a single page.
Been using this for 3 years now and it forces me to make complex topics concise and much easier to remember.
I end up processing the material far more deeply than I ever did by just passively re-reading it, which has helped boost my confidence and performance on exam.
What study habits or review methods have made the biggest difference in how you prepare for exams?
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?
I’m in an accelerated grad program (super grateful to be in btw) and I find that I have to study every day to keep up pace. I’m reaching the end of my program and I just need to continue to finish strong, but I am lacking a lot of motivation. Lately I’ve been falling asleep while studying and even though it’s summer break before the new semester starts for me I have a lot of pre-work that I’m required to do. I’m trying to make sure that I maintain all that information but I need to find studying in ways that’s more exciting or find other motivational ways of studying that don’t just involve me watching someone else study on YouTube or doing the Pomodoro method.
my mind just flows away every time i start thinking like “ok we should lock” and i couldnt focus
Idk why but talking to myself while studying helps me remember the material better.
Hi everyone,
I am a researcher at the University of Bern (Switzerland) conducting a scientific research study examining how certain traits, life experiences, attitudes and behaviors are related to each another.

Thank you for participating!
Help.
How can I study for a minimum of 12 hours every day with consistency for the next four months? I normally study for around 5–6 hours a day, but now I want to increase that to at least 12 hours because I genuinely need to. Please don’t tell me that the amount of time doesn’t matter as long as the work gets done. For me, the time really does matter, and I genuinely need to reach 12 hours. So please help me.
This is not the usual “just make a better study schedule” advice. I
used to spend hours studying before exams and still feel like I barely
remembered anything when the test came around.
So I changed the way I studied, and these 3 things made the biggest
difference for me.
I stopped relying on rereading. After studying a topic, I close my
notes and try to explain everything I can remember. Sometimes I write
it down, sometimes I explain it out loud. It feels harder than
rereading, but it shows me what I actually know and where the gaps
are.
I also started studying with audio when reading gets exhausting. Long
pdfs and textbooks can be really tiring, especially when I’ve already
been studying for a while. Sometimes I listen to my study materials
using invocly while taking notes, which makes it easier to keep going
without staring at the screen the whole time.
The biggest change was probably stopping the cramming. Instead of
trying to learn everything in one massive session, I spread my study
sessions out and come back to the material later. Even short reviews
seem to work much better for me than trying to memorize everything the
night before.
These changes didn’t magically make studying easy, but they made my
study time much more effective.
I went from spending hours studying and still feeling unprepared to
actually feeling confident going into my exams.
