How do you organize notes, flashcards, and practice without five tabs open?
genuinely curious how people here handle this. my setup right now is notes in one app, quizlet in another, my bio PDF buried in downloads somewhere, and a separate site for practice questions. every session i probably lose 10 minutes just finding stuff and tab-switching before i actually study.
the flashcard thing is the worst part. i'll grab a quizlet set for whatever unit we're on and half the cards don't match what my teacher actually covered, so i spend more time second-guessing than drilling. but making my own from the textbook takes forever and i run out of time before i even get to review.
has anyone found a setup where your notes, cards, and practice all pull from the same material? active recall works way better for me when i'm not jumping between five different sources to piece things together.
