Self-study resources that I've used through the years, self-study guides, and study tips!

Overview/Purpose

Starting during the pandemic in 2020, Self-Studying, along with 2022 productivity and self-improvement online trends, have lwky shaped my life and identify. I’ve been self studying stuff since I was in 7th grade(i’ll make a blog post about it one day maybe idk).

I’ve almost never paid for anything, and have taken advantage of very good internet resources. I never really had mentorship or structure, so I was forced to sort of create the structure on my own

This page is dedicated to:

  • Study Resources: A (long) list of resources for various fields/topics that I found/find useful
  • SiPS Tips(Self Improvement, Productivity, and Studying Tips): These are gonna be links to blog posts (maybe) with just various tips/stuff I’ve learned over creating productivity/self-improvement systems over the years + studying.
  • Study Guides/Plans: I’ve been creating study plans/guides over the past couple years for people who’ve asked, I plan on formalizing these into very structured and well-detailed study plans for anyone to use.

Since i’m very busy with school + research, this website might be empty or not as full as I want it to be… I’ll lock in on it during a break maybe.

Study Guides/Plans

WORK IN PROGRESS! I plan to drop more formalized study guides in the future for random topics, for now i’ll just start throwing resources into the study resources section.

SiPS Tips

I have soooo much I want to put here, but I think its better to keep these as long blog posts. For now, i’d say that my mindset is pretty much

You cant rely on discipline/will-power, you need well structured systems and habits to get shit done.

This viewpoint is inspired by a very popular studying/productivity youtube jvscholz. He used to livestream himself studying like 10-hours a day, anyone would think he is “disciplined” but I think he explains how he does it very well in this video (jv was very influential to 10th and 11th grade me :sob: good chance I wouldn’t have gotten into CMU without him).

Semi-Quick Tips:

  • Read the book atomic habits to sort of formalize how to create systems/habits

  • Create “systems” about your certain parts of your life, write it down like a manuel, make it structured(rely on atomic-habit based tips)

  • Be ready for your systems to change
