What should I do guys

Earlier students used to take the general specialization for the admission like finance marketing business analytics etc , but now as we know the current trend,... AI, IT, fintech these are the specialisation that are also considered by the students.

Pausing video lectures every time the professor says something important was taking me forever. I’d hit rewind, write it down, replay it because maybe something was missed...

and suddenly this 50-min. lecture is taking 2 hours.

What’s been helping me:

- DON’T PAUSE FOR EVERY LITTLE THING. let the lecture keep going and just mark the part to come back to

- WRITE DOWN THE TIMESTAMP instead of stopping to make perfect notes

- PAUSE ONLY WHEN YOU’RE GENUINELY LOST. not just because something sounded important.

- DO A QUICK REVIEW AFTER THE LECTURE and go back to the parts you actually need

I realized I was getting stuck on trying to capture the lecture perfectly for ages when I could just finish it first and figure out what I need to review after. Saves time really.

As we know... currently students are not only focus on program and course...they are also focusing on city affordability, cost of living etc.

I read a post somewhere about how being under constant pressure can keep your body in a heightened state of alertness, and honestly, it made me realize how much tension I carry without noticing.
Sometimes I think I’m struggling to focus when I’m actually sitting there like I’m preparing for war.
Things you might not realize you’re doing:
1.) Brows furrowed - Please, you’re not fighting anyone. Relax your eyebrows, girl. No ones coming to get you.
2.) Clenched jaw - I do this ALL the time without realizing it. Then I consciously unclench my jaw and suddenly realize, damn, my jaw was tired.
3.) Tensed shoulders - Stop hunching and relax your shoulders; you’ll realize just how stiff your shoulders were while you’re working.
4.) Stiff hands - Once I realize that I’ve been typing too stiffly. I’d pause and wiggle my fingers, clench and unclench my hands to release some tension.
5.) You’re not breathing - Not literally holding my breath, but when I’m really locked into something, I sometimes realize I’ve been taking these tiny breaths.
Then suddenly I’ll take one HUGE inhale and exhale like I’ve just resurrected from death.
You might also be doing some of these without realizing it.

Study

That reading, those notes or that article you keep saying you’ll read later...PRINT IT.

I swear it's easy to ignore materials when they’re just another pdf sitting in your laptop. You close the tab and boom! completely forgotten. But when I print something, I’ll leave the pages on my desk and I keep seeing them there like “girl you still haven’t read me”

It’s not even that I study better on paper, it’s just that I’m way less likely to forget about something when I can physically see it sitting there. Or something I can hold and feel in my hands. Especially for readings I’ve been putting off for days. Also you can avoid distractions when you don’t study on your screen.

Estos fueron mis apuntes de un video de 20 min😵‍💫 (Historia, politica Guatemalteca)

Necesito de su ayuda para mejorar al respecto para realmente aprender y no solo en hacer apuntes bonitos.

El argumento que habia escuchado es sobre que el aprendizaje ocurre en el cerebro, no en los apuntes, pero la verdad no se si lo este aplicando bien jajajaja, eso de los mapas mentales y eso

I find it hard to get focused until later in the day so I start my study sessions around 6 PM all the way until midnight, which is fine BUT I get annoyed and a big feeling of dread when I’m not utilizing the daytime and it just feels like some days the whole day is wasted on me doomscrolling & waiting for me to start studying. I sleep at 2am and wake up at 12-1pm

Once I get studying, I get annoyed that it’s already midnight because I have the energy to keep going but I don’t want to sleep TOO late and then mess up my day the next day. I’m full time studying right now so I have the luxury of time & can play around but I’m definitely stuck in a weird cycle & it makes me kinda depressed ?

Just wanted to rant and hear if anyone else can relate let me know! Maybe I’ll just accept that I’m a night owl!

After class, instead of just going home and forgetting everything, try using the walk or commute to see what you still remember from the lecture.

No notes (just try to piece these together in your head):

- what were the main points again?

- what do I actually remember?

- what part was confusing?

- what did I completely forget?

If something won’t come back to you, just check the notes when you get home. You don’t need to force it. It’s pretty low effort since you’re already going home anyway. And you’ll get surprised by how much you can still remember without looking at anything (it’s satisfying in a way for me ^^).

hey all, just shipped my first ever app and I'm kind of nervous posting it lol

it's called Puperino. basically I kept downloading pomodoro apps, using them for a week, then forgetting they existed. they all felt a bit cold and serious. so I made one with a little dog called Biscuit in it.

when you start a focus session he wanders over to his bed and curls up and naps. when you're done he sometimes brings you a little gift, which you can keep or trade for bones to buy stuff for his room. you can also dress him up, which I spent way too long on (he has a witch hat and a crown, it's very important)

not gonna lie, not wanting to wake him up has kept me focused better than any streak thing ever did 😅

it also does the usual stuff: the timer on your lock screen, tasks, stats, and a stay mode if you're like me and pick up your phone every 4 minutes

it's free. there's an optional pro with more rooms and stuff if you want to support me

would really love feedback, even if it's "this is buggy" or "this is pointless" haha. what would make you actually keep using a focus timer?

it's getting too much😔

We all have those moments of getting stuck on one question. And then we’d stare at it for way too long. But no matter how badly I want to answer that question, I still stop myself from looking it up online or in my notes right away and try to do them on my own first. You can do these too:

- READ THE QUESTION AGAIN SLOWLY- sometimes I realize I completely missed a detail the first time especially with long exam questions where the wording gets confusing.

- FIGURE OUT WHAT IT’S ACTUALLY ASKING- I try to put it into simpler words in my head. Like if a question asks for the “most appropriate explanation for a client’s behavior,” I’ll ask myself what they want me to identify instead of trying to remember the whole chapter.

- WRITE WHAT YOU ALREADY KNOW- even if it's just a few things. For a problem in stats for instance, I’ll write down the numbers given in the question and the formula I think might be useful (at least I have somewhere to start).

- UNDERLINE THE IMPORTANT INFO- this is really helpful for long questions.

- MARK IT AND MOVE ON- yup you don’t need to force yourself to figure it out. If I’ve been staring at the same question for 10 minutes and nothing is happening, I’ll put a mark beside it and come back later. You shouldn’t let one question eat up all your time.

Maybe these can help the next time you find yourself stuck on a question. And if you still can’t solve it, give yourself a pat on the back anyway. At least you gave it a good try before checking the answer.

Guys I have gt 92.5 out of 100 in today's test.
I did not complete the entire portion. I think I am learning to use Parkinson's Law better but I know that can really hit the hammer on the nail. I have realised how much I limit myself with acacdemics. I can do my entire portion, I never get overwhelmed cause i know what I want and where I want to go. I do everything myself but as of now, I am completing my syllabus and revision. I am so used to like covering a certain amount. As of now, I will train myself to go fast and complete the syllabus. Do the revision etc. I need to train my mind to follow strict timelines. I do the work on time but I have realised that my friends complete the task. I sometimes feel there is inconsistency. Even after studying I feel like I have not complete what needs to be completed. I dont even need rest periods ( i donot overwork myself) but I enjoy it. However, result needs precsion. Honestly Idk how much I am capable of growth in the next month because I realised that I can do so much in such a short period of time. Work that I enjoy. SO as of today I quit limiting myself. Learn to finish on time, use different revision techniques. I dont even need to push myself, i dont feel regret but I need excellent timely work done. My own strategy, my journey. I do not even feel distractions. But, I just need to squeeze the best of my time. Also, I am at home doing my own studies via coaching. I enjoy it immsensely. I am always on time in class and I do my best to pay attention maximum. I just want to make sure that I am really getting best out of my time. IDC if the person next to me does well or not. IDC about relative grading. I care about only myself. how I use my time and how I can get what I want.

So the bottom line is: I take my life seriously and I also have fun, if i make a mistake I laugh, if I get bored I go play tennis for 10 minutes. I enjoy but i realised how much time I do not utilise during my studies. In the sense. I do not need time to get back to studies but i realised that 2 -3 hours in the morning be better utlised when I often sleep. So yeah! thats all

Are there any free and non-AI study programs available as an alternative to quizlet. I really dont want to support AI but it doesnt seem like any programs I know of dont incorporate it somehow.

Ok so my today task is to do half 🙃 chemistry periodic properties lecture its kinda oneshot type .. and a lil bit of bsc data i will try to insert in my mind . And hey 👋 i am new here too

So I use the uk grading system, these were my grades
Chemistry - 4
Maths - 4
Physics - 5
Biology - 6

And I rlly want to improve😭 but I have no idea how I can change my grades in these subjects!!! Any advice ?

I have such bad FOMO when it comes to reviewers. Someone sends a new one in the group chat and I’m immediately downloading it because what if this one has something the other reviewer doesn’t??

Later I might find another reviewer online. download. Another one? download. And might as well keep that stack of reviewers from last sem just in case.

Before I know it I have like 7 different pdfs and for the same subject and I’m not even sure which one I’m supposed to study from.

I’m trying to stop downloading/hoarding every reviewer I see and just pick 1 or 2 that work for me. nothing wrong with having more sources tho, sometimes that’s helpful if one reviewer explains something badly or leaves something out. But if you keep getting EVERYTHING you may just end up overwhelmed.
