Pomodoro Technique is really helpful for when I can't focus. 1. Pick your task or whatever you need to accomplish 2. Put a 25 min timer and work on that task w/o any distractions 3. Give yourself a 5 min break after the 25 mins of studying 4. repeat This helps because it gives me the small 5 min break to look forward to so I can completely grind and lock in for the 25 mins.

Hi everyone! I wanted to see everyones opinion on whether I should take the ACT or SAT. I'm not sure which one is more "impactful" for college apps but I'm currently studying for the SAT. Lmk what you think!

Many people spend waaaaay too much time trying to perfect their study methods and systems and stuff. Setting up notion templates and study playlists and watching "how to study efficiently" videos or looking for "hacks" while studying doesn't make you study better. The reason these "techniques" are so widespread is because they make you feel like you're being productive by having the most perfect setup, but you're not actually achieving much out of it. I think it's much more effective and a better use of your time to just get your studying done. Instead of obsessing over improving the process of how you're studying in order to speed up. Stop worrying about your current study routines or habits. There's absolutely nothing wrong with just studying out of brute force if it works.
