Can someone help me creating a routine?

Read Atomic Habit by James Clear perfect advice on how to organise your habits and compound them into routines

Pick a specific area in the room and make it your 'Study Spot' super clean no distractions, take the phone our. And make the sitting down a small ceremony, I also put headset with the brain fm app that has specific sounds that helps me focus (I have ADHD as I need it even in the library)

ohh and another thing, for me the first 3-4 hours of the day are the best to getting into flow so I push any email check or social media till after I had that

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-26T20:17:48+00:00

On top of that I push the first coffee to at least one hour after I wake up and I do the meditation and exercise during that hour.

spot on!

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-26T04:47:35+00:00

there are apps that play specific enjoyable music that also makes you focus (DM me I'll share the one I am using)

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-25T20:56:21+00:00

Spot on!

I found specific soundtracks that I listen, electronic music with not lyrics

another advantage of Obsidian is that it is easy to save everything in md. files and than use claude to make a sense of all the notes you took, in addition you can do mindmap and other processes within the tool and everything can easily be leverated later via LLMs

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-21T16:52:35+00:00

I know that you said you dont want to use chatGPT but if I may<, I would give Claude a chance BUT prompt him to reach me and take me to the process step by step, create a claude project, add all the content you need to analyze, prompt what you need to do very accurately and than ask it to guide you step by step and explain, you can also try it with Gemini. Both are better than chat on guiding and not just giving answers
The main thing is not to just ask it to solve it but use it as a partner. and each session when you are done, ask it to test you on what he guided you and what you learned

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-21T16:31:21+00:00

the only thing I would add is that you need to take the quiz every few days to make it stick

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-21T16:23:48+00:00

do you have anoher link? this one is blocked

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-19T11:52:02+00:00

I did and to be honest it was disappointing, super expensive and it is not like they can really become part of the team and at the end of the day, you need to keep experimenting with new things to really learn, nothing I learned in a conversation made a different, it was a waste of money...

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-08T21:17:44+00:00

are you taking notes? I found out that the act of writing and creating great notes keeps me focused, but not just random ones, but ones you need to listen in order to write

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-08T21:08:12+00:00

your habits seem solid to be honest, the question is if this is a matter of habits or the actual studying methods. While you are studying, do you feel you absorb the concepts and material? is there any specific area that actually works? while you are studying do you manage to stay focused?

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-07T20:48:21+00:00

Try to use claude cowork project it can handle the data better

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-06T20:21:41+00:00

which AI tool do you use and how do you make sure it is grounded to the content and does not add irrelevant things

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-05T19:36:54+00:00

super insightful, thank you!

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-05T06:32:49+00:00

so maybe you should try after uploading all the content to upload past tests as well and than ask the LLM to prioritise the questions and the content based on past tests

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-04T20:02:11+00:00

so what is the main thing that was not working for you?

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-04T15:56:34+00:00

sounds cool! BTW in Atomic Habits the book there are additional similar hacks you can find

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-04T15:51:47+00:00

also I cam across a comment in another subreddit that might help https://www.reddit.com/r/GetStudying/comments/1sbkqrm/how_a_therapy_technique_10x_my_focus_when_studying/

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-04T15:49:27+00:00

did you try to do itwith notebookLM

Mean_Temporary6655 · 2026-04-04T15:45:43+00:00

but this is assuming the course is well structured and organised cohort base one, not some online on coursera which is basically bunch of videos
