As someone who spends a *lot* of time online, especially with the current half-online schooling system my school uses, I thought it would be helpful to share some apps, websites and extensions that make my learning experience a lot easier! I’ve seen a lot of master posts like this by other studyblrs, but I often get overwhelmed by the many options they recommend for each function; so I thought I’d share the ones that I find work the best for me :)
desktop apps
Spotify - for music & podcasts
Drawboard PDF - helpful for annotating and reading PDFs!
Grammarly - great for correcting English grammar!
Virtual Cottage - very cute lil productivity tracker; plays lofi & rain sounds, kind of like forest but cuter! Has a full-screen option.
Discord - ok this isn’t a study app, but given that we’re at home a lot of clubs at my school use servers on Discord to organize & hold meetings!
websites
sleep calculator - helps you figure out when you should go to bed
CBC Gem - has a ton of free Shakespeare performances in full HD
duolingo - free language-learning website!
conjugemos - Literal life-saver for learning Spanish grammar
wordreference - Great language dictionary/conjugation resource
unsplash - free HD pictures
free harvard courses - what it says on the tin!
chrome extensions
coffeelings - basically a “pixel a day” bujo page that you don’t have to draw out by hand!
smallPDF - file conversion & compression
Forest - productivity
Reading List - helps you bookmark webpages & articles to read later
LanguageTool - grammar and language correction in multiple languages
Grammarly - grammar and language correction
MyBib - citation generator
PrintWhatYouLike - print the content of a webpage w/o ads

Day 75/100 of productivity
Spending today working through an essay (though I did just have a 2 hour lunch break to finish reading The Hero of Ages 😅). My plan for today is to finish editing this essay and submit it, cook pasta, do laundry, and read books 6, 14 and 15 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses. I went into Birmingham with a friend yesterday, that’s what this little book haul is from. He chose The Forest of Stars for me and this looks so interesting!

English - This year my teacher has made it her mission to push us literally ALL THE WAY. I know that I’m in a top set class but it’s still challenging. The good kind though.

Day 76/100 of productivity
Hello, I am so tired today. I’m finishing off my essay today (I’m so nearly done 😭) then I’m planning to make flashcards and do revision for my exam on the Romans. For now, however, I’m gonna go make some lunch. Also, I started reading Rule of Wolves last night and realised I need to reread King of Scars, so I am going to be putting that on hold!
