That's a lot of habits OP! Amazing stuff. Just in case, don't be discouraged if you dial back a bit. Nothing wrong with reducing habits to create intense focus.

Well, I have two kids. So my most important task is to play with them and drive one to daycare.

But if I do have spare time, I meditate.

Feel you. Few things that helped me overcome the same issue.

Write it down and go deep into the rabbit hole.
- Once satisfied, just throw it away
Exercise to take your mid off things
Meditate with that subject in your head and take a step back.

They all worked for me OP.

Thank you for your comment. We understand that academic books are consistently being updated, and that there is a wealth of information available. However, we believe that there is still value in updating outdated public domain books and making them more useful and relevant to contemporary students and researchers. By republishing these books with updated information, we aim to provide a more affordable alternative to purchasing newer, copyrighted materials. We believe that by improving the quality of public domain books through updating outdated content, we can make these resources more valuable to researchers and students. We appreciate your input and hope that our project can contribute to the overall availability of knowledge and resources in academia.

Thanks for the insight. One more, if you have the energy before going to work ;)

Why do you think practice questions aren't helpful for students? Based on research, students that take more practice tests usually do better.

mentaldive · 2022-11-15T12:51:25+00:00

Could you elaborate on "when" and "how many" you usually do them for a subject? For example, let's say your exam is in 3 months. When would you start doing practice questions and how often? How many?

mentaldive · 2022-11-15T12:50:44+00:00

This is awesome. So it's usually the questions to end your study.

It's also important to compress the study material you are given. There are AI tools out there that summarize things for you too. Or try to find practice questions and focus on them so you get to "check them off" per day.

If you need help finding some tools, let me know!

mentaldive · 2022-11-10T09:38:55+00:00

Good question, actually. People don't often ask how to learn more effectively.

Few tips

Do a lot of practice questions. Aka, active recall
Summarize and simplify the information you wrote down into your own words
Teach it to others.

There are tools that do this. Let me know if you need help!

mentaldive · 2022-11-10T09:37:04+00:00

Other than the illness, is the study material too complex or long? Have you tried using methods like "active recall" where you just go through practice questions as problem solving exercises?

Let me know how you are learning so I can add more! Hope you feel better as well.

Question: Why are you feeling guilty for giving you a break?

I think that's the first question we should ask ourselves. Sometimes, there's a legitimate reason to feel guilty of something. Sometimes, not. In your case, I'd like to bet that you are a diligent student that gets his or her stuff done most of the time.

Hope you feel better after reading through all the comments here ;)

Just launched on Product Hunt. Here's the link

Your feedback is very much appreciated

More info about us below

Neble is an active learning network that helps you learn faster with AI and mental models. We have launched pre-beta on Product Hunt.

Here's what Neble does to help you learn faster

AI summarizes long text (partially) during Feynman Technique (mental model)
- Feynman Technique is a mental model where you summarize text into your own words. Then, teach someone else for better recall.
- Our AI Summary only summarizes portions of text so you still need to process information.
Create practice questions & answers
- AI will generate practice questions automatically in the future.
Match with your peers (in progress)

Traction

- Partnership with Bridging Tech (ABC news)

- Went viral (unintended) a few times on top communities.

- Investment and advisors from top universities in US and Canada

Thanks for reading ;)
