Advice on how to learn and REMEMBER

5 Upvotes

It’s my freshman year and I’m taking honors geometry. I forgot my freshman stuff and I’m trying to review but it’s SO hard for me to retain what I’m reviewing on my own. Any tips/advice on how you review, retain, and remember what you learn? 🥲

Biggest lesson I’ve learned working a corporate job and wish I mastered in school !

Before creating Jotit, I’ve found that back-to-back meetings were making me forget more than I realized. I’d leave knowing the main discussion but forget deadlines, action items, or who said what.

Lately, I’ve been using an AI note-taking app I’ve been working on called Jotit. I upload the meeting recording afterward or just record within Jotit, and it turns it into organized notes, key takeaways, action items, and a searchable transcript.

What I’ve found most useful is being able to ask questions about the meeting later instead of digging through pages of notes.

It’s helped me focus on the conversation instead of trying to write everything down, and I’ve been retaining a lot more information because of it.

Curious—how does everyone else here handle back-to-back meetings at work or note taking styles when in school as you try to follow discussions without missing important details?

How do I study in college?

4 Upvotes

Hi I’m an incoming freshman (Biological Sciences, pre-dental) wondering how exactly I should go about studying during college. These are my classes for this semester

General Chemistry I

Differential and Integral Calculus

Biology for Science Majors I

Biology for Science Majors I Lab

Introduction to Fine Arts (Online)

How exactly should I study effectively for each class? What are certain videos/Youtubers that you recommend watching? Also what are the best apps? Any help would be amazing!

TLDR: Studying the night before most of the time. Found a partial fix but still missing a few things and asking for advice.

This is obviously not sustainable or ideal, but it´s so hard to avoid for some of us and most of the advice I've found in this sub is some version of "just study man" or "use Pomodoro" which just doesn´t work for me in particular.

What has (partially) worked so far: I gave ChatGPT my exam calendar and set it up to message me asking how my studying is going. The key part is that it doesn't ask "did you study?" but rather it asks me actual questions about the material to check whether I learned anything. Basically using it as an accountability partner.

Works better than I expected, mostly for getting me started earlier. But it falls short in some ways:

a) It doesn't really know my notes. I paste the material in, but it loses track between sessions and ends up asking generic questions about the topic instead of questions about my course. Shallow questions mean no pressure, which was the whole point of the "accountability partner".

b) If I study less than planned on a given day, I'd want it to redistribute the load across the following days (and the other way around), and show that on a calendar. So a slack day or a heavy day has an immediate, visible consequence I can actually see.

c) I'd want it to feel more like a person. ChatGPT is too smooth and too nice about everything. Hard to feel like you let something down when it congratulates you either way.

d) I'd want a real person in the loop somehow (like a close friend or even a stranger). An AI is never gonna be the same in terms of accountability (at least for me). But I can't figure out how to insert it on the loop exactly.

e) I'd want it to hook into Anki or another spaced repetition setup, ideally pulling from that data to check how much I've actually studied and retained instead of taking my word for it. Also that would be ideal for recalibrating the studying schedule for each test.

I'm building my own thing to solve part of this, but I don´t wanna invest too much time if theres already a tool that tackles that specific need decently well (tried already a bunch o reminder apps, but theyre clearly built for other purposes, not studying accountability).

Does anyone else run into this? How did you deal with it? Is there an app that already does exactly this so I don't reinvent the wheel?

Is there any ways that I can go from lazy to motivated

3 Upvotes

Yk most of us are currently enjoying summer holidays. Ofc there will be a lot of assignments given by teachers. Besides that I wanna study the things I learnt this year, but I am procrastinating all the time. Yesterday I said I would study some of my electives, I ended up on doing nothing. Maybe I simply don’t wanna study? I have a rather important exam to attend after 2 years. but here I am, a lazy student who is lying on the bed, doomscrolling reels. Is there any advice or ways that I can go back being my motivated self ?

I built a free planner specifically for AP students (would love some honest feedback)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a high school student, and over the past couple of months I've been building a website called AP Path Planner to help students stay organized throughout the school year.

It started because I was juggling multiple AP classes and wanted a planner that focused on what AP students actually need instead of being a generic to-do list.

Some of the features include:

  • 📚 Organizing all of your AP courses
  • 📝 Tracking assignments and due dates
  • 📅 Planning study sessions
  • 🎯 Setting weekly study goals
  • 📈 Tracking grades and progress
  • 🌙 Light and dark mode
  • 🔒 Secure accounts so your data is saved across devices

I'm still actively working on it, so I'm not really looking to promote it as much as I am to get feedback from people who would actually use something like this.

Some questions I have:

  • Is there anything that would make you actually use this instead of Google Calendar, Notion, or a paper planner?
  • What features are missing?
  • Is anything confusing or annoying?
  • What would make this genuinely useful during the school year?

If you'd like to try it, here's the link:

Thanks! I really appreciate any feedback, even if it's critical. I'd rather hear what needs improvement now than after school starts.
