<aside> 👋 Hey! As some of you may know, I am kind of obsessed with productivity. I have read a lot of books, watched a lot of videos, and talked to many intelligent people (like my extremely smart neighbour back in Douglas Hall who got accepted to Harvard) to investigate subject of productivity. I have experimented with so many aspects related to learning, maintaining energy level, and finishing items off of a to-do list. You may find that in this guide, I share a little bit of unconventional wisdom about college. For example, I think Active Recall and Spaced Repetition can improve your learning, but these studying methods could also be misleading at times (my reasoning). All of the advice that I shared below reflects what works for me and many others throughout this college journey.
