brain anatomy and chill

Hi everyone! I don’t know about you, but settling into all online classes hasn’t been easy. However, I have found a few applications that help me stay on top of my day to day grind that I wanted to share with you all!

1. Session Buddy: If you opeobn a million tabs at once, then this Google Chrome extension is for you. Session Buddy saves your window (and you can rename your session to be more specific like, “English Essay”) and then you can access it and open up all your million tabs later. 

2. The Most Dangerous Writing App: This website can be really terrifying at first, but it is life changing. The Most Dangerous Writing App has you set a session length and once you start writing if you stop for a certain period then it’ll erase all your work. It seems really daunting at first, but this app is GREAT to help you stop procrastinating and just write a bad first draft that you can fix later. It’s not great for incorporating research because looking at your sources/notes takes awhile, but it’s great to just get down an initial first draft that you can fix later. 

3. Cuckoo: Cuckoo is a great way to virtually do productivity sprints with a group of other people. Just give them your link and people can join your timed session. There are preset options that follow the pomodoro technique, but you can also set your own too. 

4. MinimaList: extremely simplified to do list app with a built in focus timer (its minimalist design is very easy on the eyes). This isn’t for complex subtasks, but it allows you to cross off tasks (which is so satisfying). I think its simplicity is great for those who don’t want to spend a lot of time messing with fancy settings for their to do lists. 

Week 1/10 - Notes for Abnormal Psychology. Currently have a lot of homework and notes to do, but staying on top of everything is key and not putting it off until the last minute.

A messy desk after planning and writing courswork. Feel like I’m forever planning and reading things and then writing them in less time.

Made a slip up next week and am now working 30 hours alongside uni (thought I had reading week, I did not) so please someone send me good thoughts to manage my work load.

Why Studyblr?

I’ve been working on organizing my life and study schedule over this previous semester, so I want to keep up the momentum by sharing what I’m up to with others who are passionate about this stuff.
