I thought this experience would be more tedious than I actually found it. I think it helped me stay a bit more on track than usual. I typically make a to-do list for the week or a given day I’ve devoted to studying, which helps me feel motivated as I check off boxes. But adding the element of recording time helped me to remember to take breaks and to focus on multiple courses rather than zoning in on just one.
