Sharing Quick Tips - 08/22 :-)
Hi there!
I hope you’re alright out there :-) It feels like it’s been a while :/ So I wanted to make some time to reach out and share some helpful tips!
🤓 Into engineering? Check out Practical Engineering on Youtube. Cool videos like how to move water without fuel/electricity or balance a brick on a sandcastle.
🏠 Moving? Shopping list of items for living as a student.
📜 Working with PDFs? Handy tools: Online PDF Editor, Combine PDFs, PDF to Excel, PNG to PDF.
😩 Bored of studying? Try the SQ3R reading method. Or send a friend a voice message explaining what you learned. Less mundane.
🤖 Like animation? Amateur Youtube channel with cute animated short films.
😢 Office bureaucracy? Be extra transparent, waste less time explaining. Ex: Comment > edit directly in docs/spreadsheets/slides, send work updates daily, leave written notes before/after meetings, etc.
💻 Into coding? Intros to emerging areas: AI safety, safety engineering, & cybersecurity.
🤬 Angry/frustrated? Tips that help: square breathing, journalling, walks outside, calmness challenge, and more.
I very much hope something here is useful to you :-) Though I feel like I’m shooting blindly without knowing if I’m actually being helpful :/ I’m not sure if/how often to email next. If you have any advice, I’d love to hear!
And even if it’s a while till I reach out, I’ll be wishing you well on your journey :-)
