• tip: teach it
— after you've studied a lesson, try to teach it or explain it to someone else. it gauges how much you really understand the lesson. for the parts you don't understand, study them again. that way, you wouldn't have to study the whole lesson all over.

— this one is cute! it's like write or die but basically you set a goal of words for an essay/paper and it rewards you with a cute photo of a kitten, puppy, or bunny. it doesn't save your work tho, you have to copy & paste it somewhere else after.
