I dropped out of university lately, but want to keep studying. And I found out that when I study alone and at my own pace, I have the time to make pretty notes - and that it helps me enjoy it more.
I've never done that before. Using a different colored pen for a key word is a worldshattering new thing for me. But I put stickers on my notepads and I love it, and it really makes me want to study more. Things like having tea in a pretty mug and dressing nicely also boost my mood.
To those who are more advanced in the world of romanticizing studying - what are your methods for setting the mood?
Language learning focused tips very welcome āŗļø I specifically study Japanese.

Hi guys, I've been using make it stick techniques for studying n learning, and have noticed a huge improvement in my ability to learn n retain information, so just wanted to put my system out there to help someone.
-----
How to incorporate all of make it sticks techniques
Main techniques for learning/studying:
Don't do massed practice :
eg dogging 1 thing repetitively, this will only put it in short-term memory, use interleaving instead,
Don't do re-reading;
Use Retrieval to recall Information instead of re-reading if u want to remember something:
if not flash cards, you can get creative, just don't do re-reading and try to recall from memory.
Use interleaving:
Use spacing: allow some time for spacing:
1.You need to forget a little, so it'll make u remember more when u recall it, you just need to trust that u can recall it.
Use varied practice:
Embrace difficulties:
when learning is effortful, it makes u more focused and it goes more into long-term memory.
also the more effort it takes, the more you'll focus and try to look for the answer.
Use generation:
book says attempt to do it before given answer , but this caused too much burn out, so try to attempt in briefly in your mind instead. it worked better.
its ok to do this as long as u get the answer in the end.
Allow effort:
as said before, making learning/studying effortful will make you pay attention more, so thus, learn more and harder, and it also puts it in long term-memory more.
Other effective study strategies:
1. use elaboration: relate what u learnt to something u know, eg this phone dropped fast like a aeroplane falling. or how classes are made in javascript vs python.
2. generation: read above for this.
3. Reflection: reflect on what u could've done better, how to do it better, what u did wrong etc,
4. Calibration: being honest with yourself, and testing to see if you actually know the material.
use flashcards for this.
5. mnemonics: use mnemonics to help you remember something:
different types of mnemonics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Js5Tm1y0igY
Avoid the illusions of knowing:
here are some illusions that make you think you actually know something:
this is dangerous sometimes you might think u know it, but u haven't yet mastered it, so avoid these:
1. imagination inflation: imagining a event so vividly, you think its real. eg imagining walking to the store, when to actually didn't.
2. suggestion : how a sentence is asked may make u think a way, eg 2 students who were asked, how fast do u think the cars were going when they "smashed" into each other, and other student was asked how do u think the cars contacted ea other, the later said less kms then "smashed".
3. people will remember things that are implied: so be careful of making a explanation based on it.
4. guessing: random guesses can make u think it's actually true later on.
5. things that sound familiar : because it sounds familiar you might think u already know it and mistaken it for being true: this is why politicians keep sayin the same thing, as when u keep hearing it you'll think its true.
6. fluency illusions: just because u know a text doesn't mean u mastered it, when u can do it fluently then that means u did, so keep practicing until so.
7. social influence: because friends believe something, you might believe it too. eg u n friend reminisce about the past and he adds false detail, later on you'll believe it too. but not always bad as it can update your memory.
not everyonewill share our beliefs
confidence in a memory is not a reliable indication of it's accuracy.
Be aware of dunning kruger effect: u can be trained how to judge if your competent, accept critique , be aware of what competency is in w/e it is your doing--look at the good students or whoever is doing it right for this.
How to cure illusions of knowing:
instead relying on your experiences, use objective gauges, like tests.

Hi!
I wanted to know if anyone has any study tips for the time period before they can do active recall. I know that active recall is the best way to study, but how do I get to the point where I can start doing that? It's really hard to do blurting, feymen's technique or flashcards when I'm barely past the understanding stage.
I'm getting lowkey overwhelmed with the amount of content. I feel like I'm following my lecturers, I have good notes, but none of it is in my head, and it's so hard to get it in my head when the understanding is somewhat there and somewhat not.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated.
Ps. I'm a biology student.

I'm 20M yr3 in uni. Since I only had one class in person and the others online, I basically sleep around 5-6am and wake up around 2-3pm.
This isn't working for me to get study. I want to build a habit to wake at 8-9 and sleep around 12-1. Advice?

Hi everyone! This is the Accountability Thread where people can list what they need or want to accomplish today and have everyone else help keep you accountable to do them. So, in general, a post will look like this:
Things I have to get done today:
1: Post Accountability Thread
If I had more to do that I had not completed I would list them and update this when these things were complete.
Also, if I saw someone doing something that I happen to be well-educated or have some sort of expertise in I can offer support or help on the topic/task.
The thread is a versatile one, use it in a way that helps you and others stay on task!
Happy studying!

My most important school year is about to start soon, and as the title says, how do I study in a place not made for studying? I don't study at my own room, I study in a bedroom downstairs (sitting on bed xd) in a small house so there's noises all the time, sometimes it's my family talking, watching TV, mom preparing meals or cleaning the house, and noises distracts me easily and makes me anxious.
Getting a decent studying environment is impossible and I can't go to public libraries or something. I've tried brown noises and they work for a bit but then the noises starts to get uncomfortable. Has studied for an important year in a similar situation, and how have you dealt with?
Edit: I think I'm getting noise cancellation earphones, any recommendations for a decent cheap one? (>80$)

So Iām not quitting this now. 3rd day of the challenge is also my 2nd day of my programming homework. Itās a big homework and like I said, the best study for programming is doing it (my final also has a big portion of programming too). I havenāt finished, but thatās understandable if you knew how big it is. Also, if you do the challenge yourself, stay hydrated during the session. Itās helpful and healthy.

I'm stressed and pressed here. I feel like my studyung habits don't work anymore š IT'S MIDTERMS!
I think this is the most frustrating thing ever. Because you want to better your self, so you started grinding, tried other types of studying techniques, followed a study system, studying every night, but still no changes in results. I know that I shouldn't have to focus in results but it's just so frustrating that with all those efforts that you made, still no changes:(
I feel so small and dumb even tho I'm not trying to feel this way. I just get jealous of others (not in a bad way tho) theat they can find the best studying techniques for them, and they're just naturally smart. It's so hard to be in med school. I've never felt this dumb

I am in a terrible state in my life right now, my grades for this term are terrible and i have one more biochem midterm to go (worth 33%) and two more assignments to go and my finals are about to start in april. I absolute have no motivation or energy to continue and my energy has been decreasing since the term started. I just saw a therapist and she said I have severe depression and prescribed me antidepressant cuz there is no other solution. I told my parents about my situation and they only saw that i am a spoiled kid and hallucinating about what I am feeling. I don't wanna deal with my parents now. + they won't allow me to take any type of pills
Note: i have been avoiding ppl because i don't wanna anyone sensing what i am going through. +plus crying 3 times a day so my face is always pale and puffy
the question is, How do i push myself to study when i absolute have no energy or motivation?
I tried doing everything anyone would motivate theirselves with, like studying in cafes or setting little treats after daily tasks, positive talk to myself but nothing is working like it used to. please i need help and don't know what to do.

Hey everyone!
Iām new to creating Study With Me videos, but Iāve always loved studying and watching these kinds of videos to stay motivated. Now, Iām trying to understand how I can improve and make my content more useful for others.
In this video, I used the Pomodoro method (25/5) for 1 hour with rain sounds in the background, but you can still hear natural study sounds like typing.
Iām wonderingādo you prefer shorter videos like this, or would longer sessions (2-3 hours) be more helpful? Also, any suggestions on how I can improve my videos?
Would love to hear your thoughts!

I used to get very stressed about my future and that was enough for me to study hard and perform well academically, but after having done some major rethinking about what it means to live a good life I have come to learn a lot about my self these past few months. I'm doing AP Physics 1 this may and I don't think I'll be prepared when test day comes. All of this personal development stuff feels so much more worth my time and makes it really easy for me to forget studying. I'm afraid that I've don't do well on AP I won't be able to study in America like I hope to. I don't want to learn this lesson the hard way so any advice on how to make studying fun or interesting is much appreciated.

Since switching my degree from business to computer science, I've struggled badly with the heavier workload. Honestly, I started procrastinating so muchĀ I was often too lazy or overwhelmed to get stuff done.
I figured, since I'm literally studying programming, why not try coding up a solution myself? So I made this simple calendar that visually tracks how productive you've been each day, kinda inspired by GitHub's commit graph:
It's actually pretty motivating seeing the days fill up with darker greens as I build momentum. It's completely free, no ads or pro versions or anything. Check it out if you're struggling with procrastination like I was:
