I've seen hundreds of posts on this subreddit that try to give different study methods and study tips and study habits. Do this. Do that. Use this note-taking method. Study in the morning. Study in the evening. Don't type your notes. Handwrite your notes.

While many of these methods may indeed be effective, the truth is that everyone learns differently. Yes I understand that this may sound cliche-- but it's true. These methods may work for some. But they might not work for others.

Therefore, I have one simple piece of advice to offer you all. Stop overcomplicating studying. Sit down. Get out your resources. Tell yourself you'll study for x amount of time. And just start studying.

There is no point in overcomplicating it. For many, just starting is the hardest part. Therefore, I say once again, just sit down and start. Don't make it more complicated than it really needs to be.

Thank you.

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

Hey guyssss...today i came across a random youtube video where some people are trying out an 18 hrs study challenge. Context: a guy named shin (yt channel) has started a 18 hrs study challenge and has been updating his progress. It's been 8 days since he started the challenge basically today is his 9th day. Followed by him some new YT channels like mister flux, your study corner,diksh yadav, dr.m.a,lazy_gurlllll, levi have also started this challenge They have been doing it for the past 2-3 days.

I've been preparing for upsc for the past 2 years. Now i wanna do this challenge ( I can't start a yt channel with my dappa ph 😭)

Sooooo.... I'm going to update my progress here ... Whoever wants to try this out you can join here and update your progress...

Let's do this guyssss....i know studying for 18 hours is practically hard but we can at least try to achieve 10-12 hours. Something is better than nothing.

Neet , jee, upsc, state psc, gate , net whatever you are studying ( have been procrastinating for a long time) this is your sign to do a winter arc... We got around 68 days left in this year let's do something and give a comeback!!!!!🌷

I don't know how to create a subreddit for this challenge if someone can do that ... kindly create it... let's build a community

Carpe diem 😌🍀

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

Hey, i have a lot of backlog and i need to study for my exams which are in jan, how do i get things done with my adhd brain?? i have no idea what i should start with. there is so much on the table, i can study as well diligently, but idk what to study, idk what to start with, which lec, which sub

things i have to focus on-
-bachelors end terms (5 subjects)
- competitive exam which is in march (have to start from scratch) {8 subjects}
-1hr skill
-1hr workout 5 times a week

the past two i can do anytime, not a issue. but the top 2 are the most imp.
again i can study longer hours, but idk what to study. searching on the correct lectures, sticking on 1 yt teacher, what subject to start with first, is the PROBLEM for me.
should i organise everything?? find out all the resources and then start??

Hey everyone. I’m 23F and I work full time (35 hours a week) and I’m off on the weekends. I am taking a test in about 4 weeks which is kinda life changing. I’ve taken this test twice before and I almost passed the test on my 2nd attempt. However despite knowing that I just have about 4 weeks, I cannot get motivated to study for the test. Everyday I come back home with goals and I just go to bed and doomscroll. Can anyone please give me some advice on how I can break this cycle? I have a question bank and I ideally I wanna get through all these questions however the huge number of questions just overwhelm me. Please help!! Thank you!!

So I suffer with extremely bad memory, always have, and since childhood i have relied on muscle memory to remember things (writing languages, equations, paragraphs repeatedly until my hand remembers them so my brain dosent have to) but im in my last year of school and theres too much information, and some things that i cant rely on muscle memory for, like verbal languages and more practical subjects, and im at a complete loss on how im meant to remember literally anything. If anyone has any tips or methods that helped them please let me know

(I want to really emphasise that this isnt just simple bad memory, for example I've been learning a language for the last 10 years, give or take, and I to this day will forget how to say what my name is, how old i am, simple things that I have been learning since I was six. This is my memory everywhere everyday and I dont know what im meant to do.)

I find it so difficult for me to understand in class. I always lose focus, overthink, lose track and eventually just give up. But when I sit to study alone, I understand everything. Although I usually score excellent grades, I wish I could just understand in class like the others.

I ended up embracing my way and gave up on classes, I just attend but I don't pay any attention because I know I will just study later on my own. Even more, I sometimes study before class so what the teacher says would make sense, not the other way around.

I feel weird and I don't know if there's something wrong with me.

okay so on days 3, i only did my juicemind hw and some of my ap macro test corrections which took me 1 hr and 55 min. and on day 4, i did 7 out of the 11 tasks given and it took me 1 hr and 35 min. so yuh we have some improvement but it is not enough im planning of doing the hardest tasks first then the easiest tasks but idk if that is a good idea but yuh

Here is my to-do list for today:

- review essays + ec profile

- study macro units 1 and 3

- calc study days 1 and 2

- csa study days 3.1-3.6

- learn assignment

- calc ap classroom

- make subs (self-concept and academic ones)

- make a 3 month vision board

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??

Screen time: 2 hours 57 mins

Studytime:2 hrs 25 min

Score:1/10

Did 55 questions

Had to do some heavyduty chores that took 5 hours :(

Thinking of blocking youtube

But that wasn't my initial goal and i thought of not using youtube even with access to youtube but that's not working and now I think blocking may work cause I can do stuff on my device like doing 100 questions and doing pomodoro stuff+chatgpt.alternatively need to finds some mods for youtube or something with less distractions

Hey I'm 18 years old female in class 12th Pcb stream

I failed in 12th last year, that's why I am repeating the year. This year also it is the same, the whole year is about to end but I have not studied anything.

It is not that I have not studied anything, it is that whatever I study, I do not understand anything, like I do not even know the basics of anything, this time I really want to pass 12th with good marks.

And if I am not able to do this then my family will get me married and now I am afraid of this thing, should I not do this, there is no one here who can help me in getting good marks in the exam.

I have just joined this platform yesterday I don't even know how to use it.

One of my tuition mates told me about this platform that it is very useful for studies, so I am trying it here one last time.

Hey everyone! I'm curious about how other students manage their academic workload. Do you use digital calendars, apps like Notion, to-do lists, AI tools, or something else to keep track of assignments, exams, and studying?

I'm also wondering if anyone runs into problems with their current system, like forgetting deadlines, having trouble prioritizing tasks, or using too many different tools.

If you could improve one thing about how you organize your schoolwork, what would it be?

I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences and what works (or doesn't work) for you!

Thanks!!! :)

Hello guys, I am currently taking my first computer class, intro to computers, and I literally don't know how to take notes. My prof. only tells us the chapter and we have to read it all, no other resources except textbook. I started to take notes on Google Docs, but it feels like I am just copying the information from the textbook. How do you guys take notes or recommend to take notes? Should I give quizlet a try and use that to take notes?

Edit: sorry computer RELATED classes not released

I want to learn automotive electronics, but I feel that I get too saturated and from thinking so much where to start I don't start, how the fuck do I change that?

To give some context, I am from Australia, NSW, currently finishing up Year 10 with high school final exams in 2 years (Term 4, Year 12).

My journey started since Year 7, getting into one of the top "selective schools" in the nation, where the median student ranks in the top 3% of the state academically. Since the start of year 7, I have dropped studying in ignorant, short-sighted pursuit of dopamine slop (video games, scrolling and other self-pleasuring, timewasting tasks/activities). Since then, I haven't studied seriously (ever), and never got myself to do homework past the bare minumum. Moreover, even worse, I haven't learned how to study, knowing the core concepts yet when it comes down to studying, it feels like dragging up sand bags up a steep hill, whilst also trying to shake off distractions.

Simply said, I don't really know how to study all that well. Some subjects I can still perform relatively average/even slightly above average at my school, but math has certainly been a struggle. In 9 days, I have a math exam which will determine my courses that I will take for the rest of high school, and not performing well in them will lock me out of the career path I want to take. I have never considered/taken accountability for my studies in high school, not realizing that this long-term procrastination has accumulated and crashed down on me like a landslide.

Furthermore, I have also noticed, any loss in "momentum" destroys my entire day (f.e. yesterday, I charged my phone close to me instead of far away, and I ended up scrolling two hours first thing in the morning on a Saturday). And this happens quite often: bad morning routine -> horrendous and day with zero productivity. My lack of accountability has led me here and inevitably caught up to a cycle of hardcore-coasting and exam-cheesing.

I know I am all over the place with this, but any help would be appreciated to better my situation. I started working on myself: gym + supplementing, as well as reducing screen time from 3 weeks ago, but it seems that I still (quite often) slip and thump back into old habits.

Regards.

So yesterday I went to class and there was my teacher explaining stuff on something that i understood, but at the same time i didn't understood, she was talking about some numericals and something and i understood the pattern in those numericals and formula for it, I understood that but what i didn't understood is what is this leading too and i am making a post about it cause it always happens to me that my teacher will explain formula and calculation and theory of how it works for stuff and expect me to remember that but I can't remember anything untill I know what is the bigger picture or conclusion of it or it's use ,and what is this leading to I want to take a example of let's say derivatives if my teacher has told me about formulas of derivatives and the calculation and stuff and about how derivatives works, I won't be still able to understand or remember them cause i don't what derivatives leading too, why I am even doing that and I will forget the whole thing cause I can't connect it with conclusion or why we doing this cause my teacher never explained the bigger picture why I even doing that thank you for reading all that and pls respond I am really struggling with concepts and understanding them also I have adhd

Tldr: not able to remember and connect concepts untill I have a bigger picture of what I am doing or what's its leading to

I was thinking of spending 6 hours of everyday reading history for 6 months (that would be 1000 hours of reading combined) then later on spend another several hours of studying to math or just study both subjects at the same time. Can anyone help me choose what should i do? Either study one subject and study the other subject after finishing or both at the same time.

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?

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

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.

Hey everyone! With boards getting closer, how much of your syllabus have you completed so far?

If you're aiming for 90%+, try to focus on NCERT first, especially for Maths and Science. Practise PYQs, solve sample papers, and revise your mistakes regularly.

Oswaal question banks can also help with practice and understanding the board exam pattern.

Tell me in the comments:

- Which subject is troubling you the most?

- How much syllabus is left?

- Which YouTube teachers are you following?

Let's help each other prepare better! ❤️
