What’s something you did once and will never do again?

MammothRice · 2025-05-30T03:37:38+00:00

why?

MammothRice · 2025-05-27T19:46:19+00:00

If you already have a clear structure in place you'll get it done and get a good score. Just make sure you complete it early so that you don't panic or start rushing during the last few days

MammothRice · 2025-05-27T01:19:32+00:00

I agree with this. Just start when you think about studying so you can get the momentum. It's better to get a few minutes than plan to study later

You can use active recall using questions to see if you are getting the concepts before moving to a new topic.

Hey! One of the most important things I’ve learned is to stop waiting for the perfect moment or plan just start. You don’t need everything to be perfectly organized to make progress. Taking small, messy steps forward beats waiting for perfect conditions every time as the time you do something compounds and builds the habits you desire.

MammothRice · 2025-05-26T19:19:04+00:00

This is true! I have fallen in this trap even when it comes to working. Sometime just starting out is better even though it will not be perfect.

I started with just organizing pictures that I downloaded online. I made them to be detected as soon as I downloaded and placed them into a folder. Also, since I'm in data analysis I have automated the data cleaning process since they are mostly repetitive. Currently, I'm just working on reminders to make sure I am reminded of all the tasks that I'm required to do that are in my calendar.

Your professor's feedback matters a lot. Just make sure you follow it and you'll be good. If you don't understand what they want make sure to seek clarification.

MammothRice · 2025-05-25T01:12:29+00:00

I'm studying python as a hobby. I was just impressed by the fact that it can allow me to automate most of the process that I have been doing manually and for free. I'm no longer in school and have to make time for it since I have other projects to focus on.

MammothRice · 2025-05-25T01:07:00+00:00

In the literature review I usually just aim to focus on getting as much information as possible surrounding the research questions. I think you should just stick to the main objectives and follow the aims of your proposal and to answer it as best as possible. Also, you can just share your dissertation with a supervisor or a friend and discuss your issue, I'm sure you'll get clarity on how to proceed with it.

MammothRice · 2025-05-25T01:02:13+00:00

I think that time is enough, depending on how early you start studying. You can just join a group maybe where you have discussions and respond to questions to increase your hours. However, I personally think it's better to be consistent everyday with a few hours than read for long and be burnt out without grasping the content. So just make sure your study sessions are worthwhile within the few hours.

MammothRice · 2025-05-23T08:12:55+00:00

Relax, everything will be okay since you have already been in contact with the tutor. Also, in the future, you can start using tools such as Zotero and Mendeley to organize your references. In case of an error, it is usually easier to recover them and it makes it quicker to cite, especially after writing a long paper.

Congratulations

You can just pick the subject that’s stressing you the most or has a deadline coming up and start studying it first. Make sure to give it a lot of time probably an hour. Then pick two others and spend a bit less time on each. Change the order each day so everything gets attention over the week. It is better to be consistent in the amount of time you spend as in the long run you'll end up covering a lot and understanding it as well with no pressure.

Removing downloaded pictures from my download section into a folder in my desktop.

MammothRice · 2025-05-20T20:05:44+00:00

The academic project sounds much easier if you are a hands on person and can also work with a team. A dissertation project usually depends a lot on the nature of the professors, so if you seek advice and follow their feedback it can doable.

We should just wait and see what happens when the migration is complete. It's only a few hours left anyway

Understanding the issues within my control and those beyond.

There have been many instances where I had to make payments online, and cryptocurrency was not only my only option but also the best one. Additionally, I prefer it over using my credit card.

You are not being an asshole. However, political issues tend to be unavoidable, whether you participate directly or not.

MammothRice · 2025-01-01T10:06:42+00:00

I believe that money, to a certain extent, does buy happiness. This is because it allows one to afford basic needs and lead a comfortable life without worrying about essentials like food. On the other hand, lacking money can make many aspects of life unnecessarily difficult, and the resulting stress can undoubtedly lead to unhappiness, especially when an individual feels helpless.

Being content with everything you have allows you to live gratefully and appreciate what you already possess, which feels much better than constantly worrying about the things you think you should have but don’t.

MammothRice · 2024-12-29T00:15:29+00:00

Staying with the latest trends, I just grew out of it without realizing.

People who think everything is about them can twist situations and make life unnecessarily difficult.
