How To Skim-read Academic Texts

February 17 2019

Today I did a lot of productive things that weren’t for school and even tho I’m glad they’re done I’m trying to fight the guilt for not studying. I’m trying to learn to not over study, because honestly studying is great and beneficial but I want to learn to study less but learn more, so I should study meaningfully whenever I sit down to do it. It’s just hard transitioning away from studying so much (sometimes for no benefit) because habit wise, I feel like I should study for something all the time.

I just don’t want my life to pass by, but I also don’t want to let go of my GPA 🤧😭
