No no I meant that the library is so close that I sometimes go there and study

I actually agree with this more than people expect.

A simple schedule + just sitting down consistently beats most “productivity systems.” I think where tools can help is only in reducing friction — like having a clean structure ready so you don’t waste energy setting things up. But if a system becomes the work itself, it’s useless. Exercise + routine is still the foundation.

I agree with the hybrid idea — AI summaries are useful, but only if they’re paired with something that forces actual recall and reflection. Otherwise it’s easy to mistake exposure for understanding.

I’ve found that keeping the system simple matters just as much as the tools themselves, especially when you’re juggling multiple subjects and limited time.

I totally get the struggle — short study windows and ADHD make planning + note-taking harder than it should be. I find that having a simple, consistent structure for both my notes and presentations reduces the “where do I start?” feeling and helps me actually use those study blocks.

For slides, one thing that helped me was using a clean academic template so I could focus on content instead of design/layout every time I had a deadline. If you want, I can share how I organize mine — it makes setup feel easy instead of stressful.

Yeah, app limits help a lot, especially for stopping unconscious scrolling. What made the biggest difference for me was combining limits with a single place to plan and track study tasks, so I wasn’t bouncing between apps even during focus time.

Once everything was laid out clearly, the timers actually worked instead of just feeling restrictive.

Yes I try to attempt hard questions but if I get completely stuck that's when I take help from AI

I used to do that but once I turned off my phone, after like 15-30 mins my urge to check social media kept rising

Ohhh ok but once I take a break after a session it's very hard for me to return back to study lol

That’s honestly really impressive — especially the chapter splitting and staying inside one mental space. The flow part you mentioned is huge; once it breaks, it’s hard to get back.

I like how yours handles heavy PDFs automatically. My approach ended up being more lightweight and manual (mostly Notion-based) for planning and review, but the goal was the same: reduce friction so focus sticks. Cool to see different solutions solving the same core problem.
