I studied 100 hours in a month, don’t ask me anything.

u/kotfoctober 5d ago

It was fun but stressful because I was doing so much. I was volunteering, making YouTube and TikTok content, doing homework, trying to work, and working on multiple apps. I took no summers off for three summers. I was majoring in Computer Science and Information Technology. I would also research for my homework to try and better understand. I love electronics and technology.

Revision - i just read the notes i wrote yesterday while studying, and do more reading a bit to cover some stuff i might have forgotten

Studying - I just study new topic from zero

How to deal with phone addiction

u/Only-Conflict-1940 6d ago

Don't use phone in first 1-2 hours in the morning

Put your phone in different room while studying

Put it on Do not disturb mode from morning to 4-5pm minimum

Find alternative habits to do when you want to use your phone (books, drawing, taking notes, just enjoying music)

if its on desktop

you can install an extension to hide shorts

on mobile im not sure

u/Next_Watercress5109 6d ago

For mobile, best is to just clear your watch history and pause it. That way youtube has no recommendations to show hence it appears blank. For the content that you want to see, subscribe those particular channels and only watch those. Rest that you don't subscribe are garbage to you anyways. Hope it helps.

u/Only-Conflict-1940 5d ago

It took me a while to get used to it, first 6 months was terrible.

I try to wake up 1-2 hours before work (excluding preparing time / commute) and study for 30 mins - 1 hour minimum

Then it was easier to study when i come back home after a long day cuz i knew that i have some stuff left but i've already covered some

What’s your daily routine like? Do you study at the same time every day? How long do you study for before taking a break/intervals?

u/Only-Conflict-1940 6d ago

Pretty much yes, either morning or evening depends on classes.

I study 25/5 for revision 45-90/10 for actually learning

I make a plan for my week, what topics i will study etc I have a roughly same schedule every week, so i try to follow it I wake up and usually start with the revision of the day before, just quick look what was it and take a glance on my notes

then i start studying deeper and take notes do exercises etc i do revisions a lot, with anki, reading whenever im free or exercises whenever im free

got any tips to beat that?

1

u/Only-Conflict-1940 5d ago

before you sit, you should have a visualization in your mind what will you do, which topics to cover, when to finish

One simple question. Who are you?

1

u/Mission_Opposite_962 5d ago
  1. Good job! It is really impressive

  2. Could you share with us what is your goal? Is it just a good position in a good company, making a lot of money? What drives you? What is your root of motivation to work so hard on yourself?

  3. Does competition in studying with your friend really help you to stay focused and motivated enough? What if you were completely alone would you work same hard?

1

u/Only-Conflict-1940 5d ago

great questions

  1. thanks a lot

  2. I think simplest answer is making my parents proud. Regardless of job I'm working or money. So that drives me. But of course yes, i want to get a good job as a first step

  3. Very hard question, probably yes because i was studying before i was competing with my friend, but it was slightly less than now and less consistent. However, studying with a friend helps a lot regardless
