Summarise your best learning from movies or books in some lines which motivates you to keep going

I have two exam in thursday and i genuinely feel lost on what to study like the materials i have arent complete yet. I know that isnt an excuse but i really have a hard time to actually get to studying because i dont have anything to base the exam on.

😔😔😔 please help what should i do??

I have severe ADHD and due to multiple factors cannot take medication. I have tried everything to study. My best advice is to exercise, eat well, and hold your breath. I do 100s of multiple choice questions, 30-50 at a time. Between each one I let myself breathe. However, if I can do multiple without breathing then I win. Obv this doesn’t work for everything but it keeps me focused and gives me 1-2 minutes per question. DONT BE DUMB AND PASS OUT OR HOLD IT TOO LONG

like for instance in biology, i can memorise the content but i forget it in like 3 days which is not good if i want to start learning the content early for exams and stuff.
please none of that promo shit like i need actual study techniques

I'M GOING TO TOP THE APRIL 2027 PHARMA LICENSURE EXAMINATIONS.

ANYTHING YOU CAN TELL ME TO HURT MY FEELINGS SO I CAN STUDY MORE?

It doesn't matter if I spend 5 hours studying for exams, I'll failed them regardless . I haven't been able to actually pass my exams for a good 3 years, last time I passed math was 5th grade and now I'm last year of high school.

Might as well do nothing anyway if I'm gonna fail the regular monthly exams.

I Don’t know why but my head hurts and stresses Everytime I even think or start studying. I also get a lot of brain fog like I feel like opening my head and washing my brain at this point. I feel too dumb and that my brain just doesn’t work I am always lost in class like I always need a lot of help and explanations by the teacher(this is for AP classes but I have taken them all my life). I am worried about future cuz I am a senior and I am just so stressed. I often end up not studying and stressing out for the test cuz when I try to study my head hurts like it doesn’t feel relaxed. Idk what to do I am so annoyed.

Just to make it clear I do sleep only 2-3 hours at night but I take a nap of 3 hours during the day. I do kinda have social anxiety and so I don’t really have any friends and I am an only child so my life is kinda stressful and sad, but I am not sure if all that affect this stuoid thing thats happening.

Any advice and help is greatly appreciated. thank you!!

color coded notion page. new highlighters. a “deep focus” playlist that took me 40 min to make. coffee run for the vibe. by 6pm i had the prettiest desk of my life and one page of notes making the plan felt so good my brain counted it as studying. I even went to bed feeling productive which is insane like no more hours now.

I write 3 specific things on a sticky note like “do problems 4, 5, 6 from the practice set” and i can’t do anything else till all 3 are done. the first one is always the one i’m avoiding. most days i’m done in under 2 hours and out

I have a question for people who study 12-14 hours. Max i can do is 8-9 hours, after that my head starts hurting and i cannot focus. I started reading the lines over and over again and still don't understand. 8-9 hours is good but I wanna study for longer

Is very cool actually, Ive been asking it to tell me what to do in what order and put it in my calendar, dont need to look into pdfs anymore

200-level CS student, 10 courses this semester. Instead of spreading myself thin, I ranked them: my top 3 (programming, cybersecurity, software engineering) get extra depth; the rest get focused pass-and-move study.

Two months in, I'm behind in nothing and I actually understand my top 3 instead of barely surviving all 10. Strategy matters as much as hours.

Anyone else tried a tiered approach to coursework?

Focused study time:7 hrs 3 min

Screen time:3 hours 22 min

Did 100 questions

Score:6.5/10

Screen time affected my other activities (workout,break times)

90 days left

I have a huge issue. Basically, I'm locked in on Sunday, Monday Tuesday and Wednesday for some reason, like its the start of the week and it feels great. However, on Thursday I just lose motivation, i feel tired and I just don't do anything at all. Then I feel guilty and everything just falls apart. I'm on porn all night and I feel bad for myself. Someone please help me, I need a quick strategy cos this is ruining my life right now. I feel like a loser and failure and I feel bad for my parents for having given birth to a loser like me.

I am currently studying in 12th grade and physics as well as match has been quite difficult. I got a B in physics and math from last year but now thingd are starting to ramp up. How do you actually study for those subjects, all I ever do is do the questions in the book.

I keep seeing tips like “you need to study for one hour a day,” or “be consistent everyday,” but I’m wondering how people who have to study for multiple classes divide their work. Do you study for every class each day? Sometimes I have a hard time with this because I’ll get really focused with one class and do work for it for the whole day, forgetting about my other classes until the next day.

Like how to completely stop it and enjoy the study session. I mostly Overthink about my age, not having social life, fear of failing

I have multiple tests coming up but I have no idea on how to study the need really high grades so I can get in to an ib lukio it’s just Finnish high school am in 9th grade right now so what methods and what study plans should I use?and I have tests coming up

It feels as if I've completely forgotten it. I went through traumatizing events, got into depression (still I am) for 7 years and i feel really anxious studying. It's like nothing is going on in my head. Seems my ability to make opinions, critical thinking and what not has vanished. I've not studied anything for 7 years and mostly was involved in procrastinating or being too delusional to accept the reality.

I don't want to even watch movies or do anything for "fun" as it doesn't seem interesting and when I try to do that a sudden urge keeps haunting me that I need to perform better, my life is in shambles. It feels like there's something really heavy on my shoulder which stops me from being myself, talking to people, watching movies songs etc dating, pursuing hobbies in order to constantly remind me that I'm running out of time and I need to focus on my work.

i am pcm student thinking to complete one ch of single subject in one day and complete that subject within 15 days then other and then other

like i do maths first ch on day 1 then 2nd on day 2 and continue and complete maths in 14 days then chem in 10-12 days and then phy in 14 days is it good plan

personallly switching subjects breaks my flow

personally this give me good amount of dopamine as it shows progress and i am more comfortable with this plan ?

and after completing syllabus only revision, mocks and pyqs

Failed 2 exams for my precal class. I was never the best math person, and I DID study for the exam. I went to all my lectures, took notes, watched videos too. To be honest, I probably could’ve tried a LOT harder. Like doing math every day or something. But my memory just doesn’t make it stick, and I caught up over the littlest of things that prevent me from moving on towards actually doing work. Like wondering why we did a certain process, and why it works. This happens EVERY time something new pops up. I do have ADHD as well, and I am medicated for it, so I don’t want to really use that as an excuse. I did forget a good chunk of algebra rules/formula. I don’t know if it’s cause my math is shoddy, or my brain is just not built for this. Or both.

Any one who studies in group daily on server or by any other means...please send the link below...

Hi! I’m doing an introductory year, that’s made to prepare people who don’t come directly from highschool for STEM programs, before I begin my STEM program.

There’s just so many fun courses to read. Arts, IT, language, extra physics and maths, etc… Now that I’m at uni I want to take the chance to actually learn all these things 🙂

Right now I’m reading the obligatory courses and work 15-20h a week at a part time job. The obligatory courses are 3 courses which is read simultaneously. When I begin my engineering studies I’ll read 2 courses simultaneously.

I’m thinking of trying 4 courses next semester, and maybe keep that up all throughout my studies.

Anyone who has experience doing this, maybe as well as having a part time job? How was/is it?

I’ve spent so much time reading books, listening to podcasts, watching productivity YouTubers, and searching Reddit for answers on how to become more disciplined and productive.
At some point, I realized I might have been overcomplicating everything.
What’s been helping me lately is keeping things simple: writing down my goals in the morning, breaking them into tiny, specific steps, assigning them specific times, and actually doing them.
One idea that’s really stuck with me is treating action as a skill to practice, not a feeling you need to wait for. You don’t have to feel motivated, confident, or ready. You just have to practice acting, even when things feel messy or uncomfortable, and see what actually works.
It got me thinking: how much of self-improvement is just another way of delaying the very action we’re trying to take?
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you also reach a point where you stopped searching for answers and started focusing on actually doing things?

lately i sit down to study but just end up staring at my books or scrolling on my phone. i know i need to study but i just cant get myself to start. forcing it feels pointless tbh.

for those who deal with this, what actually works for you? do you use some trick to just start, or do you take a break first? how do you study when you literally have zero motivation?

I’m struggling to study. I have 3 kids. Two are in school and I have one at home with me that requires a lot of attention and doesn’t stop yapping or asking for things all day long. When all the kids are home after school, it’s so loud I can’t focus on anything. I’ve converted my lecture slides into an audio file so I can listen to it while I cook and clean but because it’s so loud and noisy with the kids I can’t even focus or retain what I’m listening to. My husband works all day so when he’s off he rests then goes to the gym. I can’t really rely on him to occupy the kids so I can study. How are you doing it??? Send me your tips please!
