From a student to another
People. Friends. Comrades. I can not stress this enough. Eat. Sleep. Take breaks. Please.
You might think thats easy for you to say. Its really, really not. I'm a student of grade 11, and I assure you it's no easy road to graduation. Sometimes I dont eat. Alot of times i dont take breaks. I do sleep, because strict parents, hey, but besides the point.
Okay, look. We live in a world of resources. We might as well get something of it, and Im not talking about using AI for homework. Im talking about using AI to create quick, flexible schedules for the day. Time management is everything. Its also extremely hard.
Dont study for your parents, this knowledge will go to waste.
If you have loads of info to learn, make a table or flowchart . Too few students do this, when it actually speeds up time taken to learn it. It doesnt have to be pretty, fr
Try replacing music with nature sounds as music can and does distract.
Use mnemonics, they are hidden life savers, and AI can help make some quickly, although making your own can help you remember it. Seriously, you can do pages of work in minutes with mnemonics.
Do mcqs if you catch yourself zoning out too much, especially for science subjects. Physics is basically a whole load of mcqs, honestly.
Use text to speech tools when you get too tired to read the work. Its easier to hear each sentence and then repeat it out loud till you learn it
If you have 6 hours without breaks to study, you can still get 5.5 hours with 6 5-min breaks or two 15 min breaks . If you dont have time for meals, snack on healthy food (atleast fruits, dates, milk) while studying.
Change location. All those "study areas" can get depressing really fast. And itll be difficult to hang out there when not studying- the vibe is officially ruined
You know all of this. Majority of what i said is in all articles you find online. Whyd i say it? Because irl i get alot of questions "how do you study?". This is how.
If notes dont cut it, flashcards, mnemonics, tables, flowcharts and AI will.
If this post is useless, have mercy. This is all i got
(If youre a Pakistan student and want resources, I know of useful sites and applications. But if you do a quick search im sure youll find some for any country's education)
If anyone has app recs or tips, bring em on. Help a fellow out, but not at the expense of your sanity.
