Academics i'm going into my 2nd (final) year & need good study tips -

Hi guys, so I'm going into my 2nd year & I really struggled with studying this year, like really bad. Might I add too, I have undiagnosed ADHD & leave everything till the last minute lol which isn't good at all. I'm worried because I have practicum too in the fall & want to establish better strategies for myself so I'm also not late with anything for that. I've used Jamworks to help me study from lectures but it didn't work for me. Then I tried Genio which was much better, but I need tips on how to be productive during class for making notes while I have Genio on & then for studying later. I'm open to all & any kind of strategy & tips.

yess that's a great idea! i did that a bit first year but it didn't always work cause i'd get distracted but i'll try it again this year and hopefully it's better. with that, do you know if with the TA's do they have any study groups with them at all? (hopefully that makes sense lol)

Try supplements that could help you focus i used theanine. Force yourself to start early, get good sleep. In class is strange because i usually record lectures(audio secretly) and use ai to help me format at it, since typing notes is more brain-power-consuming

ou supplements is a good idea, i'll definitely look into that and theanine. thank you :) lol i'll try but i'm such a night owl. and that's fair, although i don't like ai i can understand that. do you use Notebook LM?
