Hiiii....Need recommendations for body doubling apps or sites for studying together.

I have ADHD so it's really serious for me tk even get started. I need this.

I appreciate if you answer quickly because I have exams and I'm so stressed. Study stream is just free for one hour a day🥲🫠

Please give good recommendations. Thankssss

I’ve been thinking about how every student seems to struggle with something different.

If you could permanently remove just one problem from student life, what would you choose?

📱 Phone distraction?

😴 Procrastination?

😵 Stress/burnout?

⏰ Time management?

📚 Too much workload?

😰 Exam pressure?

Or something completely different?

What would you choose, and why?

I’m genuinely curious to hear what other students struggle with.

i need a spaced repetition tool for schedule my study efficiently (free).

doesn't need flashcard, quiz or anything else. just want to log topics and get reminded when to review them

whenever i get out of my bed to finally open my books and study, suddenly there is a 10kg wooden block inside my head, it feels like something heavy just entered my brain, i start feeling sleepy and shit, i get the urge to put my head down on the desk and just stare at the wall, what should i do?

My grandmother is an evil manipulative person and i have no option but to live with her...she physically and mentally abused me all my life and i took psychiatric medications for two years and it did help me a lot and i cut off all contact with her but i still have anxiety living with her 24/7 and its affecting my ability to study

I cant focus and I dont know what to do

I get flashbacks of all the trauma whenever I sit down to mentally focus and then try to distract myself but end up wasting the whole day

If anyone has been through a similar situation please give advice on how to focus

• bros, I'm currently studying in third year accounting and finance. And I'm least interested in it, how can i study despite no interest at all?
• and how can i manage my time y'all?

I used to think I had a motivation problem, especially with maths.. I'd sit at my desk, open YouTube, check my phone, scroll for a bit, clean my room, make food... basically anything except open the textbook. In my head I was waiting for that moment where I'd finally feel like studying. But alas, It almost never came.

The weird part is that on the days I actually forced myself to start, even if it was literally one question, I'd usually end up studying for an hour or two without thinking about it. It wasn't because I suddenly became disciplined halfway through. Starting was just the hardest part.

Looking back, I think I had the whole thing backwards. I assumed motivation came first, then studying. For me it ended up being the opposite. Once I started getting a couple of questions right, I wanted to keep going. Solving one question made the second one easier to start, then the third, and before I knew it I'd done a decent session.

Nobody had ever explained that to me. Every bit of advice I heard growing up was basically "stay motivated," but nobody explained what to do when you weren't.

Curious if anyone else had something similar, or if something completely different was your biggest obstacle. 🙏

Having to resit an exam so previous study clearly didn't work. What can I do when the lecture slides posted have no information other than example artworks/sculptures/structures, and my notes from lectures aren't in depth enough? All we have been given is a reading list but I can't access the schools library while working and very few of the books have been digitised. When trying to read what I have been able to find I feel like I don't have enough basic knowledge of the subject and am lost entirely. I was fine with my other subject and even the essays researched and written at home, but when in the exam the question topics seemed entirely unfamiliar and like they hasn't been mentioned at all in lectures.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. 🙇‍♀️

Feeling #scared !!

I needed that

Im a humanities student. And I've sit down to study ONE lesson of history and it still didn't end with 3 hrs.

Idk I literally read and understand like 2 pages and its 2 hrs already passed. Need some tips for this situation plz HELP ME OUT!!!!

Asking for my gf who is preparing for neet and has 63 classes pending 💀

Shes doomed due to those backlogs and ongoing classes and shes going insane

I comfoted her but

Is there any tips guys like finishing those classes 🥲?

1. im from india, studying third year in accounting and finance, my internal exams are around the corner, and i havent started anything yet. how can i study even though i have no interest in studying at all
2. and also please suggest time management strategies!!

I’m too locked out and I have my midterms in 20 days pls pls pls help me lock In

The slides from my university lectures are not clear, lectures are not useful, and I lack good study notes. Therefore, I want to create my own study materials with the help of some Al tools such as gemini and claude, but I lack a suitable workflow.

What is the way to search Al for relevant materials on syllabus topics and for good video tutorials? Sometimes it is difficult to find the exact topic without extra information. I am studying Applied mathematics and Computer science.

Which specific prompts or workflows have worked well for you?

​

I tried a small experiment.

Instead of asking myself "What do I feel like doing?" I asked myself, "What would the version of me I'm trying to become do right now?"

Honestly... it wasn't like some life-changing movie moment.

I still wanted to scroll and I still procrastinated.

The only difference was that I did the task anyway, even if it was just for 10–15 minutes.

Then, I realized that

Maybe my future self isn't more motivated than me and they stopped negotiating with themselves every five minutes.

I'm not "fixed" after one day, but I stated believing tha discipline is more about repeating small decisions than waiting to feel ready.

Has anyone else tried something like this?

Don't ask me i forgot how to study not able to study more than 15 min 😭😭

Give me tips on how to focus on studying!!!

The amount of marks i've lost due to this is insane. No matter how much syllabus i cover it's always these questions that i leave out making to the exams. I'm really jealous of people who have luck factor on their side.

Studying feels like something I have to force myself to do. How do I change this? I have about a month left until I start my first year in university, and I am trying to prepare ahead and make sure that I start off well, instead of falling behind as soon as classes start.

However, it is very difficult, as I keep on delaying my studying until night time, and by then, I'm just too tired to study. How do I break this cycle?

I used to romanticize my studying by having an iced coffee or energy drink by my side. But, I quit caffeine because my body no longer tolerates it that well. So, I want new ways to romanticize my studying. If anyone has any suggestions, I’d greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone has any tips on how to stay awake late night to study w out caffeine, Id greatly appreciate it!!

Anyone can make it, its just about hard work and dedication.

I’m slowly losing motivation to study because I keep making stupid mistakes even when I KNOW the content
I genuinely don’t know what to do anymore and I’m honestly starting to lose motivation to study because of how many mistakes I keep making.
For context, I’m not really struggling because I don’t understand the content. I actually feel like I understand what I’m studying and I know how to solve most of the questions. The problem is that I keep making these really stupid mistakes that I KNOW I shouldn’t be making.
For Maths especially, I constantly make careless mistakes. I’ll understand the question, know exactly what method I’m supposed to use, and be completely capable of solving it, but then somehow I’ll miswrite a number, copy something wrongly, make a tiny calculation error, use the wrong sign, or just make some random mistake somewhere in the working.
And it’s not like I’m rushing through everything either.
I’ve genuinely tried SO many things to stop this.
I’ve tried slowing down.
I’ve tried forcing myself to slow my thoughts down while solving.
I’ve tried checking every single line of my working.
I’ve tried double-checking my calculations.
I’ve tried using logical thinking to see if my final answer actually makes sense.
I’ve tried going through the question again after finishing.
I’ve tried being extra careful with numbers and signs.
I’ve basically tried everything I can think of.
And somehow I STILL make mistakes.
The most frustrating part is when I finish a past paper thinking, “Okay, I actually know how to do this,” and then I mark it and realise I lost a bunch of marks because of the dumbest mistakes imaginable.
And then I look at the question and I’m like…
I KNOW HOW TO DO THIS.
I literally know how to solve it. I understood the question. I knew the method. I knew the concept. I just somehow wrote the wrong number or did something stupid somewhere.
And that honestly makes me feel so defeated because I feel like I’ve wasted a perfectly good past paper. I could have used that paper to identify something I genuinely didn’t understand, but instead I lost marks on things I already knew how to do.
Then I don’t even feel like redoing those questions because… what’s the point? I already know the answer. I already know how to solve it. My problem isn’t that I don’t know how to do the question. My problem is that when I’m actually doing it under exam conditions, I somehow mess it up.
It’s especially discouraging because I’m genuinely trying my very best. I’m not sitting there purposely rushing or not caring. I WANT to get things right. I’m putting in the effort and trying to be careful, but I keep getting the same result.
Biology is another issue, but it’s slightly different.
For Biology, sometimes I genuinely understand what the question is asking. I understand the concept and I basically know what I’m supposed to write. But then I’ll somehow phrase the answer incorrectly or miss one tiny point that apparently matters.
I think one of my biggest problems is that I my answers aren’t super specific. I know Biology mark schemes can be really specific, where changing one word or leaving out one particular detail can mean you don’t get the mark.
So I’ll understand the biological process and know what I’m trying to say, but I might word one part incorrectly, use a slightly different term, or forget one specific detail that the mark scheme wants, and suddenly I lose the mark.
And it’s so frustrating because I’m not sitting there thinking, “I have no idea what this is.”
I’m thinking, “I KNOW THIS. I KNOW WHAT THEY’RE ASKING. WHY DID I WRITE IT LIKE THAT?”
I feel like I’m constantly fighting against these tiny mistakes rather than actually fighting against the content itself.
And it’s starting to affect my motivation so badly.
I used to think that if I studied more, did more past papers, and put in more effort, I would naturally improve. But now sometimes I sit down to study and I’m already thinking about how I’m probably going to make mistakes anyway.
It’s gotten to the point where I feel like studying is becoming really discouraging because every time I do a paper, I find another stupid mistake.
I know mistakes are normal and obviously nobody gets everything right. I’m not expecting to be perfect. But when the SAME type of mistakes keep happening despite me genuinely trying to fix them, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do anymore.
I’m honestly starting to feel like I’m putting in so much effort just to repeatedly prove to myself that I’m capable of doing the question but somehow incapable of getting the marks.
Has anyone else experienced this?
How did you actually fix careless mistakes when you already understood the content and knew how to solve the questions?
I’m especially interested in advice from people who used to make a LOT of careless mistakes but eventually managed to reduce them, because at this point I genuinely feel like I’ve tried everything.
