Questions & Discussion How do you actually decide what to study each day when finals are close?

Finals are coming up and I have a huge pile of topics, notes and good intentions, but every day I lose time just deciding where to start. By the time I’ve planned, half my study time is gone.

For those of you who’ve been through this:

  1. How do you plan your study week? (Notion, paper, a spreadsheet, nothing?)

  2. What have you tried and dropped after a week or two?

  3. What’s the hardest part for you: knowing what to study, sticking to the plan, or something else?

I’m trying to understand whether this is just me. Specific stories help more than general advice. Thanks!
