I found out that Pomodoro doesn't really work for me. I either finish my task within the time limit or greatly exceed it. The scheduled breaks cut off my momentum. I typically use a stopwatch since I'm more product-based than time-based (i.e. finishing one chapter and not just studying for 1.5 hrs). If I want to take a break and see that I've only been studying for 5 min, then I'll just continue studying. I'm shouldn't be that weak lol. Studying is really different for everyone and I'm glad I've experimented enough to know what works for me :)

I want to try out Readwise and I was wondering if you have an affiliate link for it? I’d like you to get “something” for it, just because I appreciate the honesty of your reviews and the fact that you didn’t oversell Airr.

Recently switched from Android for my main personal device (still using an older Galaxy Note for work) and I'm actually shocked at how many apps on iOS want yearly subscriptions. Apple being forced to allow 3rd party app stores through regulation can't get here fast enough because it's a bit ridiculous.
@vedaryan334 Жыл бұрын
Subscriptions are sustainable. I wish Android had such great apps like iOS otherwise Android is so much better tbh
@Mario.H Жыл бұрын
What on earth is „sustainable“ about apps like a calculator wanting you to pay $2 each month for them? Like in a year that is how much I paid for the game Read Dead Redemption 2 by Rockstar games. In 2 years that calculator will cost as much as twice what I paid for said blockbuster game… Especially when in the European Union prices for all apps tend to be 120%-150% of US app prices.

I use the I Recommend or Flynow App, the perfect application to search to improve your productivity, through the management of tasks, habits and goals. The application uses melhores methods to manage tasks, habits and goals. Also, use gamification to stimulate users to carry out their activities. Another differential of the application and the use of statistics to provide feedback for the user regarding their performance. For or management of tempo / tasks or application uses the Triad do Tempo method, for or management of habits, or application uses or loop of habit. To carry out goal management, the application uses the SMART method.
