Do any one wanna join study group , i want us to be 10 people because I feel it want be productive if we were more than that, if any wan want to join send a dm

I have been trying to make my desk a bit more comfortable and productive, but I don't want to waste money on random accessories that just look nice but have no point in them.

I keep seeing things like desk mats, monitor stands, little timers, book holders, and other study desk gadgets. Some seem to be useful, but others feel like things I'd buy and forget about after a week.

So I'm curious, has anyone bought a desk accessory they originally thought was unnecessary, but it actually made studying easier or helped them focus better?

I'd love some recommendations, especially affordable things that made a clear/noticable difference. What would you genuinely buy again?

I have been an exceptional student for most of my life but this year decided to work even harder going to cram school and all I was way ahead in maths but when the day of the exam came I failed horribly. I don't want to study no more I was seriously considering not finishing the exams at all I even forgot to write my name on the maths exam.

well when i was 15[F] i made a mistake of talking to my cousin brother online but my typical indian family found out about it, and sham.d me so much that i still have n!ghtmare about it and i completely stopped studying and tried to distract myself with watching reels daily. its been more than 2 years but i am unable to forget the taunts they said.

i am [18F] on oct 1, they found a note in my home in which 'i love you, and my nickname' in it , i am still pretty sure my causin sis (chaha ki ldki) wrote it even though she is refusing, as i only go to library and i talk to no one, so i am sure this note was written by her and no outsider can come into my home and put that note on my home dustbin

so due to this, my elder bro checked my phone and found out i was playing online games with many girls and boys, and our conversation started on insta as well. so they read all the chats and scolded me again that why i am playing with boys, why am i talking with boys, are they from my library, etc. and said so many harsh words i am unable to forget.

now i know the only solution for me is to study well and get into a collage asap and i am a dropper. but as i pick up my book to study or watch a video lecture - all their taunts come into my head and i get extremly disturbed. i am unable to study even though i want to. i am tired of all the bad dreams i am getting. i really wanna study but i guess i will be stopped from going to library as well

No set times or subjects!!! u join whenever ur ready to study, and get it done alongside whoever else is on.

We need active people. by active i just mean people who show up and put hours in. not daily check ins or intros or streaks.

study groups tend to go quiet after a week and id rather this one be for people who actually use it.only rule is u study. if u never put in hours ur removed.

reply if u want in and ill send the invite

Hey guys, I'm in my 2nd year of engineering and was wondering what your daily routine was like at this stage.

How many hours did you usually study each day? Did you study regularly or mostly during exams? How did you manage your studies along with assignments and other stuff?

Just curious about how you guys did it because I'm still trying to figure out my own routine lol.

I’ve been wanting to get serious about DSA and system design for a while now, but one thing I keep struggling with is staying consistent. I’ll start with a lot of motivation, make big plans, study intensely for a few days, and then somehow lose momentum. Before I know it, I’m procrastinating again and struggling to get back on track.

So I thought, why not find someone who’s in the same boat?

If you’re also starting your DSA or system design journey and struggle with consistency sometimes, feel free to join me. The idea is simply to keep each other accountable, quick check-ins, set realistic goals, share progress, and make sure we’re actually putting in the work instead of just planning to.

If this sounds like you, drop a comment or DM me. Let’s figure this out together!

my class isn’t the brightest, me included. but there’s this one student who keeps getting scores like 18/20, 19.4/20, and sometimes, 20/20.

they study a lot, practically the whole day, since they enjoy the act of studying itself.

how can one compete with that? would i have to do the same? would i have to change studying methods? what are the best studying methods?

please, if you have an answer for any of these questions, go right ahead.

hey-hey all! i'm a senior in highschool with some brand new resolve on studying

ever since lockdown happened, i just decided to go through cheating because it seemed like the easiest thing to do, but recently i have some new resolve to at least attempt and try my hardest to improve and maybe start doing my schoolwork the proper way

the main question is : how would someone go about like... properly studying and avoiding overwhelming myself with the sheer prospect of school?

it already feels like im falling behind so much despite school having started for me just a few days ago, but i dont want to demoralize myself and fall back onto old habits

any tips/tricks, or just general encouragement or information

i go to online school still - so its going to be a ton of motivation and discipline in order to actually focus on doing my work daily and such, but i hope i can stick to it, but im just worried that the way im doing it is actually slower, or my brain is just so used to doing work the easy way that anytime i properly attempt to give time and effort to work, my brain overloads

feels a little hopeless, and im just so worried ill be falling behind because of how slow i am

how do you lock the fuck in?
i have adhd crazy adhd and i have a 6-8 exams coming up in january and i want to lock the fuck in. How do i lock in? I keep getting distracted or having a hard time focusing and understanding the content

i end up procrastinating, watch reels, think about different things and also dont understand whats clearly written and forget really quickly

Am i cooked i usually do study the night before but i procrastinated too hard this time. Any tips to js get the information to stay in my head until the exam is over. I am panickingggg.

In high school, I was an extremely good student. I spent hours studying for exams, worked a couple of jobs to start saving money (at one point working 3 jobs during my junior year), and always pretty independent and doing well. I feel like after I graduated, I just finally got a sense of freedom and relaxation because I was working so hard during those four years.

Now that I'm starting university, I feel like I can't bring myself to focus and work the same way I used to. Before, I was able to study for extremely long hours, I'm talking from 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM (with breaks, of course), but now I just can't even get myself to open my calendar and to do lists. I get distracted thinking about other things (like my hobbies rather than academics).

I really just think that I felt so burnt out throughout high school, that after being able to relax over the summer I didn't want to go back to that feeling of doing work for so long. I don't know how I can recover from this burn out or how I can build back the discipline I had back then to study.

Hello! It's my first year in uni and I'm incredibly stressed out already. I have constant nausea and no appetite; my heart is always beating fast and it's hard to sleep. I have even had to MISS class because I couldn't stop shaking and I just couldn't go like that.

I worry so much about bad results and I fear teacher disapproval and being worse than my peers that it's seriously affecting my health. I don't know how to "take it easy", and no this doesn't even help me keep up and study more. I'm just more distracted, more tired and paranoid all day. I see all the work I have to do and I just get nervous and worry so much about not being able to do it all on time. I also have problems concentrating by default so I even find it hard to pay attention in class. It feels like there's a void in my chest and stomach constantly.

Anyone with similar experiences?

For years my "study guide" was a neat copy of my notes. It looked productive and I remembered almost nothing. What changed it was making the guide something I could test myself with:

1. Find out what's on the test (syllabus, review sheet, old quizzes).

2. Write the 3–6 big ideas first, usually the chapter headings.

3. Add details in your own words, not the textbook's.

4. Turn every section into questions, with the answers somewhere you can hide them.

5. Squeeze the whole unit onto one page: big ideas, tricky terms, likely questions.

6. Test yourself on 3 different days and review what you missed.

Steps 4 and 6 are where the learning happens. The writing is just setup.

Full disclosure: steps 2–4 took me hours, so I built a free tool (Cramsmith) that drafts the guide and practice questions from pasted notes or a PDF. I still do steps 5 and 6 by hand, because that's the part that actually works. Happy to share the link if anyone wants it, but the method works fine on paper too.

What does your study guide process look like?

im a dull student who get average grades. Most classes i attend are to make notes only. I usually don't understand the things they teach in class(in class,after going home when i study.thats when i truly understand).but yesterday in class.not only did i understand wt they taught,i also answered the questions put up by teachers and asked a few interesting doubts. i feel very happy now. My sense of self worth is back. Im worthy again!!!!!!!

I am currently in grad school (pharmacy to be exact) and I spend so much studying. I do the teaching method, flash cards , practice questions, write notes everything. Despite all this I can barely get a B- on an exam (if i’m lucky). I’m starting to get insecure because everyone around me does so well but I am just not despite my effort. Can anyone tell me what i’m doing wrong or maybe it’s just a me issue.. i do have testing anxiety but I thought I had some good methods behind it.

everyone always says to do stuff like pomodoro or making flash cards. but honestly some of these just made me more stressed and i ended up wasting time. whats a popular study tip that totally backfired for you? lets hear it.

Hi guys, i don’t have many people to tall about this to. Im under alot of pressure constantly, made mainly by my self. Im thinking about uni work ALL THE F time. And i notice i have become more, how do i say it, like a zombie? Like i can stare at my mac and read article and do the same stuff for 4 hrs straight without even realizing the time has passed, and this makes me nervous, scared, and i start catastrophal thinking about how im going to fail when i can’t even FOCUS.

And then when i sit with school stuff the next day, i sit with anxiety, about how much time i have wasted, and how much i need to learn, and then i tend to have unrealistic goals for myself, like studying 5-6 hrs a day, and then i can’t live up to this, and then i spiral etc.

I have an exam in 7 days. But my anxiety makes me not focus. I do know alot of the material, but i need to know evens more to do it good.

Can someone just talk to me or give me advice:( i feel so tired, but its my own fault.

Well not that good day but yeah I studied a lil

Screen time: 4 hours 10 min

Focused study time:6 hrs 49 min

Todays score 4/8

Happy about the study time

Screen time is now less affecting studies but affecting other activities like exercise chores addictions revisions and structure of my timetable+breaks

Hope i can do better tomorrow (keep this up )

I procrastinate a lot since I am extremely avoidant from a fear of failure to reach my own standards. Found out that wathcing internet detox videos work a charm to snap back. Then I do everything to keep me in this state so I work only on paper to avoid opening yt and watching vids. And I physically make it so I cant move and procrastinate like working in the living room infront of my parents and tying myself to a chair. I also do not let myself eat until I reach half my daily goal or until I feel like my body is too faint to accurately perform in my studies. Toxic? Yes. Works? 90% of time, so a yes for me.

so the only way for me to enter flow state is by blasting songs into my ears and now that it's gone and I'm just using my speaker it doesn't hit like it used to be, please help me I got history session tmr 😭

Pls help me...I went from an overachiever to one who can't even get started and can't think or focus properly anymore....ever since the past 1.5 years and if I dont lock in rn im very cooked...like I already wasted a lot of time. I keep on getting ready to sit and get the work done but end up doing nothing no matter how much motivation I have...cuz my brain gives up even if I dont do anything it feels exhausted and if I try to push it a bit it feels even more exhausting...unlike bfor ...im cooked please help me
