When I'm in a time crunch, I like to use PASS. It has been very helpful resource for tough courses like Physiology 2.

I find the best parts about PASS are 1) the mock exams, and 2) asking the PASS leader how they navigated the course.

I believe taking great walks outside every day for 30 mins can be great to promote your mental and physical health. I found this useful because it allowed me to overcome the daily challenges that was presented to me. In addition, it allowed me to find guidance and perspective even in the face of great difficulty. This is why I would recommend walking as a form of self-care practice to attend to everyday.

I use an app called Memo Sticky Notes on my device. It is exactly what the name suggests - sticky notes. I like to have notes like "things to do" on my screen so I'm always reminded of the tasks I have coming up. It is right in front of me whenever I open my MacBook, so it's hard to forget things. Following are the links you can use to download the app:

For Android devices:

This AI tool helps with breaking down tasks!

It can be really helpful for folks who struggle with executive dysfunction, or people who don't know where to start on everything from assignments to chores!

I've found this pomodoro timer website to be useful while doing my readings. It sends desktop notifications when the timer is up, and allows you to change and customize the times of the short and long breaks, as well as the actual studying time.
