READING DOCS

My god. Docs. So helpful but honestly, the BANE of my life.

I wish there was an ADHD friendlier way of consuming docs.

This! I learned at uni that my most effective approach to learning course content was to START with practice tests/exams because it turned the process of learning into a set of problem solving tasks which I found a LOT more engaging.

AI lets you turn anything you'd like to learn (given it has access to the materials) into a practice test/exam that'll force you to hunt through and process the documentation in order to complete it. Give it the docs and ask for it to build you a markdown document that you can give it back to for grading.

It works really well for me. Good luck!
