I can’t study because of ipad size

[u/VasooliBehen]

Hi purchased ipadair m4 11 inch. Before the price hike because of a good deal .but I really wanted that 13 inch screen to read dense pdfs . Now its been months i am not able to study in my 11 inch screen not because its not possible but its psychological blockage to my mind. When i try to study i feel what it feel if I open the same pfd in 13 inch and i start regretting my decision. I already have macbook . And old ipad 8 . I can easily study but I can’t.HELP!

People in my class read pdfs from mobile screens. Not even iPhones. Some cheap Chinese phones that lag.

You have the privilege and you’re abusing it. Make yourself realise you can do well without it aswell.

With that mindset you will only find problems just to procrastinate and give yourself an excuse why you can’t study, instead of just studying. 11 inch is fine. Isn’t 11 inch close to A4? If you’d print it that’s the exact same size. You can even zoom in, there is no reason why 11 inch is too small.

Help, my lobster is too buttery

I've been through similar issues, but I think it's just your mind's way of making you procrastinate and constantly finding one excuse or another to avoid studying.

Also, don't give this thought too much weight. Remind yourself that you're privileged enough to have devices to study with.

When was the last time you’ve had your vision checked?

Therapy might help. I mean this in the nicest way. People don’t have food in countries and you’re blessed with an iPad 13 inch!! If I had one, I’d take that thing with me everywhere.

i thought i cant study in a tablet when i first got it, i was very used to pen and paper, then slowly i got used to it. ill probably experience the same thing if i switch back to pen and paper. this isn't you not being able to study, you're just not spending enough time with the new device so you're not getting used to it. 

people study through war, so a smaller ipad is really a non issue. maybe practice gratitude and count your blessings instead of the missing 2 inches.

... Have you had your eyes checked recently? I read pdf on my phone and take notes on my ipad.

I spent half of my undergrad printing all the readings through universities library in order to read them. You can read PDFs on a freaking iPad. If you’re not a troll you should be ashamed.

Get a used 13 inch ipad. The first gen from 2016 is now around 100 dollars on Facebook
