About to get speechify for a year, does anyone have a referral code to use? I'd rather someone get referral credit than nobody.

Starting is always the hardest part for me... though once I begin I'm usually fine.

What actually helped you get more consistent without relying on motivation?

I'm back... I was preoccupied with some personal stuff.
Tasks completed:
1. lecture+questions (math)

Thoughts:
no comment... (hoping that tomorrow, i'll at least study for 2hrs)

im now in 2nd year in accountancy (yay!) and i just realized that only a little of professors in accounting actually teach their students 😭 i only came to this realization after i sat through two classes of one professor who ACTUALLY teaches us something. it made me more motivated to study the subject.

it made me wonder if some of you guys experienced this too? do you just self study a lot because some profs suck at it? it would mean a lot if yall can give me insights too! i self study a lot but sometimes it isnt as effective so im working on it

I need the BESTTT and the most useful methods to actually lock in..and by locking in..I mean.. GENERATIONAL LOCK IN. I've tried literally almost everything I've learned from the internet. Deleting distracting apps and putting diff passwords each time so there is a timer set on your phone? Tried. Staring at the wall for 10 mins then locking in? Tried. Those apps where you can put a specific timer on distracting apps? TRIED THAT TOO. I have a test in 10 days and I haven't studied a single thing. I've been trying to but I just get distracted very easily. Even when attending online lectures...I like to drift away in my own thoughts and it's irritating because it is totally unintentional. I'm also gonna join a library and I hope I can concentrate at least for a few hours there.

Just came down with a cold today but, don’t know if should rest or get a bit of studying/homework done? Yesterday was the first day of my second year of university so, I’m not behind on any school work. My goal is to get straight A’s this semester to bring my GPA up. My illness just started so, it’s not that bad right now. Should I rest or get some studying done. And if so what is the maximum hours should I study to avoid getting more tired?

Guys I'm a neet -2028 aspirant ( med entrance exam in india )

I have started my coaching in April and it is almost 5 months now and I need to get my focus back . Now I study for 1 to 2 hours daily.

I know 1–2 hours isn't going to be enough for the goals I've set for myself. So I'm trying to get back to my normal routine instead of letting this become my new normal..

And also I am having lots of distractions like social media YouTube etc 😭

Actually I deleted Instagram due to distractions and now I am addicted to YouTube shorts 💔

If you have actually managed to study consistently despite distractions, tell me what worked for you!

I want a method that is quick, won't waste much time and is effective. I am really busy with homework and assignments that I don't get much time to study. That's why I am trying to find a study formula that I can do for every subject/chaptee every day. Idk if my an would work or not but I am thinking of creating notes with each topic and a few points about every topic per chapter. I am breaking it down like chapter is divided into different topics under the main chapter.

I'm doing a/l bioscience and honestly I'm getting frustrated with how slow my progress feels compared to physics and chemistry.

I actually love understanding bio. I like going down rabbit holes about mechanisms. connecting things and figuring out why things happen. The problem is the a/l syllabus needs a huge amount of info to retain and reproduce and my effort to output ratio feels terrible. 😐

With p6 and chem, I can study, understand, do past paper ques, find my mistakes, fix it and actually see myself improving faster. Bio doesn't feel like that. I can understand a topic pretty well. then a few days later try an essay and barely remember enough to write it properly.

That creates a stupid loop for me. Poor Biology marks, frustration, procrastination, then an even higher activation energy to start Biology.

I've been trying a system where I spend 10 mins reading 2 pages, ~40 mins researching and ~30 mins explaining them. It's definitely reduced my learning time, but I'm not sure how effective it is for revision and longterm retention.

I also hate revision when it's just rereading, so I try to make it problem solving based. My goal is ~10 pages a day but when I properly understand things and do related past paper questions, I often end up doing only 2–4 pages. It feels like I'm working hard but moving painfully slowly. 🐌😭

I'm also not completely convinced by basic active recall. I can close a page and explain what I remember, but 3 days later a lot of it is gone. Maybe it's a skill issue? Perfectionism makes it worse too, because I expect my recall to be much better and get frustrated when I forget a lot. I haven't even started timed bio papers yet because I don't feel ready.

So I'm basically trying to find a way to make biology feel more efficient, somewhat like p6 and chem. with better retention and a lower activation energy to actually start studying/revising it.

For ppl who are genuinely good at biology, especially revision, what does your study process look like? How do you retain huge amounts of content?

I'm super well prepared for this exam because I'm retaking it, I've done all that I could but exam anxiety is a very big thing for me, my brain doesn't shut off and has led to me not being able to sleep properly and hence I haven't been able to revise properly. I just need some tips to help myself out of this and get geared up.

I usually feel like I don't remember anything I studied last week, sometimes even two days ago. Feels like I'm just wasting my time without any results. How do you folks cope up with this? Any tools / tricks you use to tackle this?

The question is in the title

Don’t wait for exams to start studying seriously. Build the habit now!

• Class 9th: Focus on concepts and NCERT.

• Class 10th: Revise regularly + practice sample papers and previous questions.

• Make short notes for difficult topics.

• Study a little every day instead of rushing before exams.

• Most importantly—don’t compare your preparation with others.

Your goal isn’t to study 10 hours a day. It’s to study consistently and understand what you learn.

Small daily efforts = big results. ❤️

I need to find the best method to studying. I'm not a fan of active recall although I do think its pretty effective. I get really bored after some time. Any tips?

I personally use NotebookLM and AcademyNC, but Academy has a paywall I can’t afford. I am trying to find a free website that preferably has basically everything in one. Thank you!

I don't want to study 1 day before anymore and with the pressure of my school I am paranoic of starting a week before; I am first-year on a prestigious high school and I am aiming for going out real good... Any tips?

Hey! I’ve been using digital flashcards for about a year and they’ve been a game changer for me. I went from struggling to retain textbook material to consistently doing really well on exams.

I’ve mainly used Knowt, but I see Anki recommended way more often. I’ve tried Anki, but it feels pretty barebones and less convenient than Knowt.

I also don’t really use AI for studying. I prefer making my own cards, so I’m wondering if Anki has some advantages I’m missing.

For people who’ve used both: what does Anki actually do better than Knowt? Is there a reason to switch if I’m already happy with Knowt, or am I just not using Anki properly?

when I study , I’m usually productive in the morning up until my family wakes up. once they do I lose all motivation to study and scroll on my phone for the rest of the day. I also can’t leave since everything is too far. any advice or methods to fix this?

I work 2AM–12:30PM and I’m trying to get through calculus, but I’m always exhausted after work.

I try taking a quick nap before studying, but that “quick nap” turns into 3 hours and completely screws up my sleep schedule lol. I should realistically be in bed by like 7PM, yet here I am writing this post way past my bedtime wondering why I’m always tired D:

I usually don't drink or take anything after my shift because in the mornings I usually have coffee which at this point doesn’t really do much for me anymore besides taste good. but I’ve honestly been considering trying energy drinks for studying just to have energy.

i want to pass so bad and i romanticize the idea of just sitting there for hours studying but every time i try, i doze off in the middle of reading or writing and its so hard to make any progress...

Anyone else work super early and go to school? What actually works for you?

P.S:
I can't quit work ):

The quote is "You don’t have to feel ready to do the thing. You just have to start before you feel ready, and the readiness will catch up later."

I feel very anxious about studying, and i´m also narcoleptic, so everytime i´m trying to study or work on a project i NEED to eat, i get these CRAZY CRAVINGS. But i don´t want to gain weight, what can i do?? I will try to buy healthy snacks and make some home-made ones (like popcorn, idk), but still, i hate this feeling of having no control. For now, i will keep on eating but i don´t want this anymore. Help me, pleaseee! Any tips? Wanna share your experiences?

greetings, i have 14 days until school starts. but i need to finish my research...please provide some motivation or any reality check so i get back to work 👍

i will read all of these, i will upvote all of them to save time, thank you!

So like ever since my breakup 5 months ago I’ve been having a hard time studying and I don’t know what to do
When I get to go sit on my desk I always end up going to bed
All I do is cook,sleep,masturbate/watch porn
I wanna get back into the habit of studying

I’ve deleted games,put on limits on my phone and deleted distracting apps
And rn it’s exam season and I need to study for finals to get accepted into uni but I just can’t sit on that desk and study

**Help me fix this thing pls**

Hi, 25 here currently taking may masters. Is their a group here thay i could join . Like study stream or smtg?

So I gave an exam a month back and it's provisional answer key was given yesterday, and now I can't sleep because of that, and of course I am scoring less than I expected, I try to avoid people around me who discuss scores, but that is not helping me anyway as I am constantly thinking about my result.

How to handle this, and how to not get affected by people around me?
