Ask HN: How do you manage self-study?
A bit late to the party but it might still be of help: @ruph123 I am a bit like you, and a few years ago -- after 30 or so years coping -- I started building a tool to study and keep track of what I get out of my texts and where I leave them. It's called Kjuicer, short for knowledge juicer.The cool parts are that you'll be able to:
1. Learn faster. Students report they save from 30 to 50% of the time if they highlight with it (more when they collaborate & share 'juiced' material among them)
2. Recover what you learned in a snap, even much later.I must be dyslexic, so certain topics were totally off for me, like CS. With it I could finally tackle it.It's still a bit basic but it works on most web pages, or you can use the editor to paste stuff from other sources. It's free for personal use.Hope it helps.Please do let me know if you try or if you need support. Message from the website and I'll respond.
There's not many instructions but it should be easy to use.Cheers, Giampaolo
