Hey everyone,
I hope you’re all doing well! Today, I want to share why tracking your work hours can be a game-changer for your productivity and study routine.
About a month ago, a friend reached out and invited me to join a group on an app called YPT. Little did I know that accepting this invite would help me better understand my study habits.
In case you’re not familiar, YPT is an app where you log the hours you dedicate to each subject, complete with a fun ‘D-Day counter’ to keep exam dates in sight. What sets YPT apart from other productivity apps is its group feature — studying collectively has never been more engaging.
With YPT, you can form study groups where you can see each other’s progress and how much everyone has studied. Plus, there’s a daily leaderboard that fosters healthy competition. This not only helps you stay accountable and motivated but also provides the drive to push through your study sessions together.
Having this communal aspect in your schedule gives you a sense of camaraderie, reminding you that you’re all in this together. Additionally, tracking your actual work hours helps you assess whether you’re dedicating enough time to your studies. If you find you’re falling short, the app provides the incentive to step up your efforts. Maintaining this self-awareness is crucial for achieving success — having a clear measure ensures you stay on the right track.
Moreover, using YPT helps you understand how much time you have and how effectively you can utilize it. This insight allows you to make more precise decisions about what you can and cannot accomplish, enabling you to adjust your plans to meet your goals efficiently.
So, if you want to take control of your time and enhance your study habits, I highly recommend giving YPT a try! This is purely a personal recommendation based on my positive experience — I’m not sponsored in any way. (I wish lol)
This week has been quite busy thanks to the TMUA, and I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made by staying disciplined. I hope all your entrance exams went well! If you took them, congrats, and if not, I hope you still had a productive week :). As a result, I haven’t made much progress on Building a Second Brain, but I have some interesting topics coming up. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
Gratitude for every word read and every thought shared. Until next time!
Best wishes,
Ismail
P.S. Kudos to my friend Armaan for getting me into the group! Thanks for bringing me along. (And for trying to use the wake-up function on us all on a Saturday morning ^_^)
P.P.S. Shall we create a group for people on this newsletter?
P.P.P.S. I’ve been experimenting with some cinematography this weekend and put together a little snippet. Enjoy!
