Not gonna lie, this was kind of a wake-up call moment for me lol.

I went through my Udemy + Coursera library last week and counted how many courses I actually completed vs. how many I bought "with good intentions."

12 bought. 2 finished. 😅

The problem wasn't motivation exactly — it was that I had zero visibility. Courses were scattered across platforms, I had no idea how much progress I'd actually made on each one, and there was no "system" pulling me back to finish what I started.

So I spent a weekend building a simple Notion setup that tracks:

- every course I own (with direct links)

- how many lessons total vs completed

- a status tag (planned / in progress / done)

- a deadline so I actually have a target date instead of "someday"

It's honestly such a small thing but having it all in ONE table made a huge difference in actually going back and finishing stuff instead of buying course #13.

Anyone else have this exact problem? Curious how other people deal with the "course graveyard" issue lol

Forcing a 5-minute break every 25 minutes completely kills your "flow state." Once your brain finally clicks into complex logic, stopping on an arbitrary timer does more harm than good. What study method actually works better for deep work?

I have Physics, Calculus, and Chemistry (and one class I might switch to a fun one like cooking or spare) next year for grade 12. Study tips? I got 90% in grade 11 physics (coasted the first half), 98% in functions (overstudyed and had a perfectionist mindset but I COOKED), and 88% in chemistry (underestimated the intensity of grade 11 courses and coasted with genuinely no effort). Should I take spare for extra work time, or a fun class for stress-relief. No I cannot move one of the classes to a different semester

I have a massive multiple-choice History exam covering two terms in a day and a half.

’ve gone through all the material once ,some studied well, some just read, and some barely touched and flashcards aren't an option.

What is the most efficient high- etention strategy to review and lock down this much information in 36 hours?

I am aiming for more than just passing..

Alright, so i have 3 projects and multiple skills to learn and get an internship, I'm all alone, away from my family and my friends aren't here, i am not interested in anything, not even series or games or movies, I'm loosing my sanity, i just sleep and eat, all day, I'm going crazy, I wanna fix it but i can't, i can't rely on my friends because they all have their life, this has happened before and it was horrible and eventually i break that cycle, now I'm again in it, I did meet a friend of mine today, for 30 mins, he asked me if I wanna hangout, I said I'll be having some work only to rot and feel alone, I do this all the time, there's lot to learn and yet i do this, kindly do help me.
