I've also become a much better studier through your active recall methods. I've used Anki and even bought the book "Make It Stick". Thank you for influencing me to become a more productive individual, and exponentially making me study better!

  • @nr6010

    Guys, don’t feel overwhelmed by Ali’s lifestyle- remember, you’re on chapter 1, he’s on Chapter 63.
    So start by being productive on 1 task only per day and I guarantee, once you realise you’ve understood or mastered one task, you’ll naturally want to continue to challenge yourself and in due time, you will be productive.
    It’s like Ali says, it’s like a snowball, it’ll just happen itself.
    Also, thank you Ali for all your tips- I’ve been able to push my productivity up daily and due to launch my blog next week and working on other projects simultaneously.

    There is actually a name for the effect of the quality of an introduction, which also works for conclusions: The primacy recency effect. It does not only apply to essays, but to basically everything (a lecture, a book, a movie). The perceived value or quality is most influenced by endings and beginnings.
