    I used to fly low in school. In college I’d be barely passing classes with mostly C’s and only a couple of B’s. Since finding your channel I’ve been pretty inspired and ended up raising my GPA from a 2.5 to a 3.5. This current semester I’ve been getting A’s across all my assignments easily. I really appreciate everything you stand for and how much your online presence has been able to push me into becoming dedicated to my academics.

    I quit my jobs yesterday. All the jobs! I just found your video "Why I wake up at 3am" and I watched all videos. I was a top student, but my life suddenly changed and I'd to work at the age of 16. I worked for 2.5 years. Next month, I'm turning 19 and I want the old me back. So, I quit my jobs and now I'm studying like you. I just realized that if I want to study like you, I need to quit my jobs and I'm happy now. Thanks James!

    Being a guy who doesn't do CS and needs a simple workflow, I've been using Notion(with some Zapier integrations) along with Samsung Notes(for hand notes - exporting as pdf and then embedding them into notion) and a my university app for all my assignments and lectures/seminars, I think for people that don't have linux Notion or Obsidian might be the simplest workflow to setup because of how easy it is to use and get running and if you want, you can import events from google calendar to Notion calendars or create database items for them with Zapier, its worth taking a look! But really enjoyed seeing your system!

    Thx James, for me I use 3 Apple Devices and I tried so many cloud services note taking apps like Notability and Goodnotes, to-do list apps, eventually, I got sick of all of them either cuz of: (to much Time to manage the system, synchronization issues generally or loss of files (Notability) Sooooo, Now I use four apps every day for studying and organizing my files, tasks ... etc.
    1. Apple Files App and Subscription to icloud+, honestly it's the best option I found after trying the others. simple, easy, and sync very fast. Plus I use the tags to rate the lecture in stars .
    2. Documents by Readdle. why? cuz 95% of the features that I actually need is free in this app. U don't have to import ur files from the files app to edit like most other pdf editor apps do, plus if u add a note box or highlight something it does not disrupt the file (in xodo app if u highlight something the files app does not recognize it as a highlight, recognize it as shape color !)
    3. Forest app, mainly use it to keep track of my progress over the weeks (the stat page is so useful, with just 2 secs u know exactly where u r wasting time or if u made any progress that week)
    4. Apple Calender app, yes I use this app, not for zoom meetings, use it for to-do list 😅. I used so many to-do list apps (the last one was an app by the same developer who made forest, was good but the UI was complex for me) and always there is something annoying about it. the calendar app is simple, easy, and syncs within msec. So I created a new calendar for my lectures schedule and another one for my daily tasks and when I finish a task I move it to the done tasks calendar. so I have 3 calendars and the coolest thing is when the iPhone is in a horizontal position the calendar view will change showing the weekly view and u can just drag and drop ur tasks on the days of the week very easily and quickly, I know its no big deal in the world of features, but it is so practical, I use it every day.
    I know that these apps are pretty simple and well-known. but after Switching back and forth between so many note-taking apps, calendar to-do list app, cloud apps and so much time wasted on all that crap, I was just fed up with it. I've been using these apps for about a year and (Documents for a few months cuz in the beginning the pdf annotation tools provided by the files app were more than enough but lately I need Better ones so I used the Documents app)
    if u have any better (simpler systems) plz share it .

    I like your taste in tech! I used org mode + orgzly and had a similar setup but your usage of eink android tablets and the terminal emulator within that phone is pretty sick. I eventually had to give org mode up for work as I found that the obsidian approach of creating markdown notes that are organized through backlinks allowed for better organization of the work junk I have to keep track of in my day job... but I still kept some ideas with me from org-mode. I do miss it still!
