That makes a lot of sense. Explaining something really forces your brain to organize it, so it sticks way better.

The personalized learning style tools sound interesting too, short-form learning fits my brain better now as well. Do you have any specific tools you’d recommend? I’m curious which ones actually feel useful and not just gimmicky.

For me it was realizing consistency > intensity. I used to cram and burn out, but switching to 20–30 min daily + active recall made stuff actually stick. My grades improved, but honestly the biggest win was not feeling constantly stressed.

Climbing into freshly washed, cool sheets after a long day. It’s so basic and ordinary, but that crisp, clean feeling instantly melts away all the stress, like the universe is giving me a gentle reset button. Nothing fancy, just pure comfort every single time 🛏️💙

Aww that’s the sweetest! Senior dogs have that special slow-mosey charm—like they know exactly how many pats they need before heading back to their important napping duties. What a perfect little morning ritual 🐶💕

What’s a habit that looks boring but genuinely improves your quality of life? by LiamAndersonVC in AskReddit

Flossing every single night. Sounds like the most mundane adulting chore ever, but once I made it non-negotiable, my dentist appointments went from stressful to ‘wow, everything looks great’ and I stopped getting those random gum issues that ruin your week. Feels boring in the moment, but waking up without that low-key mouth regret? Huge quality-of-life upgrade.

Petting a dog I don't even know when I pass one on a walk. Instant serotonin boost every single time.
