Tried recording lectures on my phone instead of taking handwritten notes and my test scores actually went up
I was super skeptical at first because I've always been a pen and paper person. My roommate kept telling me I was wasting time writing everything down so I gave it a shot for my Biology 101 class. The professor talks really fast and I kept missing stuff when I was writing. Now I just record the audio with this app called Otter and I listen to it again while I'm driving to work or folding laundry. My last exam I got an 89 and before I was barely scraping by with a C. Has anyone else tried this and had mixed results or am I just lucky so far?

Wait is this actually helping or are you just paying more attention because it's new? Feels like that initial motivation might fade once the novelty wears off.

Paying more attention because it's new" describes my entire life pretty well honestly
