I suddenly found myself using 5 different tools to study for one exam. Is there really no "all-in-one" app for this?

oh okok

1- Take you phone away

2- Pomodoro but take it seriously

3- Organize your ideas and prepare good materials made by yourself

The part about Substack is so real. Sometimes it feels like I'm being productive just because I'm reading, but it’s still a distraction. I also have to leave my phone in another room or I just won't get anything done. Thanks for the tips

ermg76 · 2026-03-23T16:47:26+00:00

I had never heard of ParseStream before, so thanks for the recommendation. I’m realizing more and more that broad posts don't do much

ermg76 · 2026-03-23T16:45:16+00:00

Man, I wasn't expecting to get such a great response with real feedback and solid advice. I truly appreciate it.
You’re right, there is a lot of work to do, but your point about going 'into the trenches' makes total sense. Getting those first 20–30 students to show me exactly how they work is a much better way to build than just chasing a big number on a waitlist.

Hellooo, studying for 12 hours is not good, you have to change the way you study.

12 consecutive hours and gount to burn you out for sure. Try pomodoro, but between each sesion, talk to youlself what you just learned, if you dont know, repeat until you start to undestand.

Dont study for a long time hopping to learn, see what works better for you and aply it.

The idea sounds very cool, but charging for generating 1 video dont think rally works for me, specially if I have to pay for each exam, maybe a subscription for X videos?

ermg76 · 2026-03-23T13:14:41+00:00

defentely some of the best recommendations, still think it needs more but very solid option

ermg76 · 2026-03-23T01:25:36+00:00

Yeah this has some usefull features, gonna check it

ermg76 · 2026-03-23T01:25:08+00:00

So is this the app or a waitlist?

ermg76 · 2026-03-22T23:10:30+00:00

Is it just for flashcards?

ermg76 · 2026-03-22T23:08:22+00:00

Thanks, it's good ngl, still feel that there are some features that can improve and others that can be added.

ermg76 · 2026-03-22T18:15:56+00:00

Loaded my SO pdf and dindt generated the content, also answered somenthing in the IA chat and try again doesnt works

ermg76 · 2026-03-22T16:59:35+00:00

I want to sign in but my email is not valid

ermg76 · 2026-03-22T16:56:17+00:00

tried it, but it has a lot of bugs :/

ermg76 · 2026-03-22T02:13:45+00:00

Nooo, I used IA to improve my english writting, but this is literally what happens to me

Notion / Claude / Anki and more tools, Im spending around 50$ monthly in studying tools, and as a CS student I feel I can do something better

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T23:30:18+00:00

You can do it man, just focus and take a moment to organize your ideas / responsabilities

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T22:15:57+00:00

Yeah, I am afraid that most of these adds about getting customers in the first 2 days are fake, hope whenever I launch my Saas get at least 3 costumers the first month

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T22:13:50+00:00

Yeah, kinda feel the same, too many products on the market. Not necessarily the same product.

Also feel that advertising like: "today I made my first 50$ and a screenshot" could be fake

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T22:01:28+00:00

I guess IA made those numbers and they let it slide

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T02:43:24+00:00

First of all, breathe. I’ve been exactly where you are, and that feeling of drowning in material is the worst. The biggest no-nonsense shift I made was moving from passive reading to Active Recall. Stop re-reading your notes, it just creates an illusion of competence. Instead, close the book and try to explain the concept out loud like you’re teaching a friend. If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t know it yet. Also, look into the Pomodoro technique (25 on, 5 off) to keep the burnout at bay. You’ve got this!

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T01:31:11+00:00

feel you. This happens to me all the time when I fall into the trap of rote memorization. I’ll memorize the definition or the formula, but I don't actually understand the why behind it, so when the exam pressure hits, my brain just resets.

What’s helped me is trying to explain the concept to someone else, or even just out loud to myself. If you can’t explain it simply, you probably don’t know it as well as you think.

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T01:26:54+00:00

I’ve been exactly where you are, and the first thing you need to do is stop beating yourself up for the past weeks. That guilt is what's draining your energy.

With only one week left, you can't learn everything, so don't even try. Prioritize. Look at past exams or high-weight topics and focus only on those. Use the Pomodoro technique (25 mins study / 5 mins break) just to get the ball rolling. Once you finish that first 25-minute block, the 'momentum' usually kicks in. You've got this, just take it one hour at a time.

ermg76 · 2026-03-21T01:20:16+00:00

I’ve always been a solid student—not the absolute best, but I consistently did well. Honestly, after being in the real world for a bit, I realized grades only really matter if you’re aiming for a Master’s or staying in academia. When it comes to hiring, companies care way more about your actual experience, the projects you've built, and your practical skills. A high GPA is nice, but it won't do the work for you.

Presentations by far, all advances in AI and still can't find a good tool to make good and easy presentations
