Study tools should save time and reduce stress. Start with a small stack you’ll actually use.
Core study stack
- Notes + organization (Notion/OneNote/Google Docs)
- Flashcards (Anki/Quizlet)
- Focus timer (Pomodoro)
- Calendar + task list (Google Calendar + simple to-do app)
How to choose
- Pick tools that work on your phone AND laptop
- Avoid switching tools every week
- Start free; upgrade only if it saves real time
Tip
If you’re overwhelmed, start with just two tools: a notes app and a calendar.
