and i love it 😎
so far this seems super promising! i like how it will import iOS reminders - and that means that location based reminders will get pushed over to due once i get within the geofence (and it fetches it from the app) – I even set up a shortcut to have a laundry timer because thats been something i forget about all the time after the alarm goes off
I made a sous vide London broil and fried green beans, which I cooked in the leftover butter from the chicken I made earlier today - took all of that pan sauce and used it to give the meat a final sear - the days I get to study at home are super nice
I also use Trello! Been using it for a decade to track assignments for classes (at the graduate level now) and other things I need to get done - the calendar subscription is super helpful because it puts all the due dates right into my iPhone and google calendars
Oh damn, I’ll check it out! Thanks :)
A couple of things I do.
I think the top of this list is making sure that I’m exercising regularly, eating balanced meals, and getting enough sleep. This helps set me up for success with studying - I’m less restless, it’s easier to focus and process information – and all of that together helps me feel less demotivated when I hit a roadblock.
In terms of tools - meds for sure, having snacks and water at my desk so I don’t need to get up, I also have visual timer on my desk - so I can visibly see how much time I’ve spent studying (or being distracted lol)
before I start studying, I try to (but honestly need to get better at) setting reasonable goals – listing out what I need to do, describe the steps it will take to get the task done, write out how long it will take (v helpful with time blindness), and choose what I will be doing during that study session.
If I feel overwhelmed/stressed/dont want to do all of that, I have flashcards that I go through instead – I used to use anki but i’ve switched over to remnote and i’ve been enjoying that so far
sometimes I’ll put on some binueral beats (which I typically describe as pseudoscience that works) – and i think the noise just helps stim my brain a little bit or sometimes the noise just reminds me that I should be working.
and don’t forget that we’re prone to hyper focusing! it’s not sustainable to work for 6 hours straight without getting up, eating, drinking water - those sprints might feel good but we end up feeling exhausted from them the next day.
wooo good luck with getting the home!!
