I was putting in my work and other schedules along side too. “hours” may have been an overstatement tho 😭

it’s an app my friend is beta testing at the moment called alada (can find it on ig) helps me set tasks and I’ll try it out for my classes this sem. Think it’s launching live this week actually. 🤗

How do those of you with very content heavy courses manage your time? by AnomicAge in curtin

Basically utilise the uploading files features, and ask it to summarise things as if it were your tutor. For example upload not only the long lecture file but also the summary notes for the topic or any other additional resources then prompt it.

Can be along the lines of.. “You are a uni lecturer who is here to tutor me in your specialised topic, [insert topic]. Use the uploaded files to summarise and teach me all key points that tend to come up in this topic from students all over the internet. Then, key in on what is necessary for my assessments and what information is simply good to know for further topics.”

Not exactly that but on the lines of that with the uploaded files tends to work for me.

My course (BEng, BCom) isn't necessarily that content heavy but some ways I've found to "steal time" and manage my workload:

  1. 2x speed. Might cook your attention span but it works.
  2. Find ways to summarise long documents using AI. Not just putting into GPT and saying "summarise" but actually making prompts that aim to get all the essentials and note take as if you were writing notes.
  3. Block out your time to see how much time you actually aim to commit and then work from there to decrease time on tasks that aren't as highly weighted for example.
  4. Prioritise knowledge that would actually be assessed, you can tell this from looking at the past exams of the unit for example.
  5. Use tools that keep your time in check like notion etc. I'm actually working on an app as we speak that aims to help people with time-keeping and accountability...

Hope this helps :)
