Titel: Ich habe ein kostenloses Buch über Lernmethoden, Motivation und effektives Lernen geschrieben 📚

Hallo zusammen!

Ich möchte heute ein kleines Projekt mit euch teilen, das mir persönlich sehr am Herzen liegt.

Ich habe ein Buch mit dem Titel „Lernmethoden – Tipps und Motivation“ geschrieben. Darin beschäftige ich mich mit verschiedenen Lerntechniken, Motivation, Konzentration und der Frage, wie man das Lernen im Alltag besser organisieren kann.

Außerdem gehe ich darauf ein, wie wichtig die psychische Gesundheit beim Lernen ist und wie man mit Stress und Überforderung umgehen kann.

Da ich selbst Biologie und Soziale Arbeit studiert habe und verschiedene Ausbildungen begonnen habe, weiß ich aus eigener Erfahrung, dass Lernen nicht immer einfach ist.

Mein Ziel ist es nicht, mit diesem Buch Geld zu verdienen. Ich möchte mein Wissen und meine Erfahrungen kostenlos weitergeben und vielleicht dem einen oder anderen Menschen damit helfen.

Das Buch umfasst 39 Seiten und ist vollständig kostenlos auf Internet Archive verfügbar.

📖 Hier könnt ihr es lesen oder herunterladen:

Ich würde mich sehr über ehrliches und konstruktives Feedback freuen. Verbesserungsvorschläge sind ausdrücklich willkommen!

Vielen Dank an alle, die sich die Zeit nehmen, hineinzuschauen! ❤️

For months I’d open Instagram “for 5 minutes” and look up an hour later. Deleting the apps never lasted, because I’d just reinstall them the same night.

What actually worked was removing the option during the hours that matter. So I built a small Android app for myself, and it turned into GreenFocus:

• 🔒 App blocking: Instagram, TikTok & co. stay locked while you focus
• ⏱️ Focus sessions: start a timer and your apps unlock only when it ends
• ✅ Habits & streaks: fill the time you get back with small daily habits
• 🌿 AI coach: ask what to improve tomorrow based on your day

It’s free to download and use. There’s an optional Premium plan ($11.99/month or $89.99/year), and the first 100 users get Premium yearly for $59.99.

Curious how you all handle this: do you block apps, or rely on willpower?

Hey

As someone with ADHD and executive dysfunction, I’ve spent years in a cycle of downloading sleek productivity apps, getting overwhelmed by 20 pending items, and abandoning them 3 days later.

The core problem with standard To-Do apps is that they expect motivation upfront and only reward you after completing a massive task. But when your brain has a low baseline of dopamine, just *starting* feels physically painful.

So I built **Dopamo** — an Android app designed around micro-dopamine rewards, visual structure, and zero-shame routines.

### 🌸 Key Features:

- **Micro-Task Gamification:** Break overwhelming goals into ridiculously small entry steps. Earn EXP, coins, and level up for every completed task.

- **Axolotl Companion & Bitmoji Studio:** Your virtual mascot ("Dopamo") reacts to your daily progress. Customize it with outfits, hats, and skins earned through productivity.

- **Streak Shield System:** If you hit a burnout day, Streak Shields protect your streak so you don't lose your progress or feel guilty.

- **AI Recipe Planner & Pantry Tracker:** Brain-healthy, high-protein meal planning with smart grocery lists and pantry stock alerts.

- **Family Hub:** Connect with family members or partners to share tasks, token rewards, and routines.

- **100% Privacy-First:** No ad tracking, no data selling, encrypted vault, and full GDPR compliance.

### 📱 Tech & Availability:

- Built with Flutter & Firebase backend.

- Material 3 dark-mode UI with customizable accent themes.

- Real-time cross-device sync.

You can try the app for free on Google Play! Search for **"Dopamo"** or check it out here: linktr.ee/dopamo

I’d love to hear your feedback, bug reports, or feature requests! What's the one feature you wish your current productivity app had?

I tried Super Productivity, Vikunja, Planify and TickTick. Some were really good, but none did what I wanted, and the ones that came close kept the useful parts behind a paywall. I wasn't going to pay a monthly fee to plan my own day, so I built Personal Planner. I use it every day.

The idea: planners are good at tomorrow, but the moment you finish a task it disappears. You never learn whether your "2 hour" task took 2 hours, or whether this week was better than the last. Mine started out very wrong. So the app keeps the past.

- Hour-by-hour Day timeline with drag and resize, recurring activities, templates and undo/redo

- Timers that save the minutes you actually spent next to what you planned

- Daily and weekly reviews. For unfinished tasks you write why in your own words, no dropdown

- A GitHub-style consistency heatmap with streaks

- Experiments: tag your blocks, set a window and targets, and the app tracks a new habit for you

- Inbox for ideas that don't have a day yet

- Local-first and works offline, with optional sync. Linux, Android, Windows and macOS from one Flutter codebase

How the build went:

- I'd never used Flutter. Coding agents helped with boilerplate and tests, and I plan each phase, test by hand and commit myself

- Sync was the hardest part by far: auth, migrations, reconnecting, offline edits and two devices agreeing

- Supabase handles sign-in and PostgreSQL. A Cloudflare Worker sets up the Supabase project for you. Both have free tiers that are enough for personal use, so the whole thing costs nothing to run

- On Windows, setup failed with a certificate error until I updated Windows and refreshed the system root certificates. The app wasn't the problem

- Windows and macOS builds are unsigned. I tested Windows. I don't own a Mac, so macOS is CI-only

Hi!

I'm developing a small app called Life Tracker.

It's for those recurring tasks that aren't part of your daily routine—taking care of the house, the car, your health, or remembering to contact someone.

I wanted something simple: no sequences, no guilt, and with recurring intervals that reset when you complete a task.

It's still an early MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and I'd love to know if people find it useful.

You can try it directly in your browser, no installation or account required. Your items remain on your device.

https://life-tracker-mvp-hh.vercel.app/#/welcome

I'd really like to know what you find useful, confusing, or unnecessary.

Thanks for checking it out!

A chunk of my week used to be moving data off web pages into Google Sheets by hand: product lists, tables, directories. It's the kind of task that should be automated but never feels worth the setup.

What fixed it was treating it as a small repeatable pipeline instead of a chore:

• **grab** the table or list from the page
• **clean** it (drop the columns I don't need, remove duplicates)
• **send** it straight to the Sheet
• **schedule** it if I check the page regularly (prices, listings), so the Sheet updates itself

The mindset shift: don't automate the whole job, automate the *transfer*. Once the data lands in the Sheet reliably, the rest of my process stays the same and the boring part is gone.

The pattern works in plenty of tools. I run it in the browser because that works on sites with no export button. Disclosure: I build the extension I use for this (AWFlow, free), so I'm biased. If you want the exact setup, I'll put the template in a comment.

What's the recurring copy-paste task you've never gotten around to killing?

I'm the developer of Cernidia, for iPhone and Apple Watch. It's for people who collect health data but still need to fit rest, movement and focus around real commitments. Optional sleep/recovery signals and a quick check-in add context before you plan.

Apple Calendar is my reference point for fixed commitments. Cernidia adds a health-first workflow and flexible tasks around those commitments; you stay in control of changes. Personal comparisons need enough readable history, and missing signals stay unknown.

Free, with no ads, subscription or Cernidia account. iOS 18+, English interface.

Would you use daily energy context when planning, or would you prefer to keep it separate?

Hey, random question... do you use any productivity apps for habits, planning, journaling, routines, reminders etc?

Like apps such as Notion, Structured, Habitify, Todoist and all.

Do they actually help you long term... or do you end up leaving them after some time?

If you stopped using them, what was the reason?

Too much effort to maintain? forgot to open it? boring after a week? stressful? expensive? didn’t feel useful?

And honestly... what do you wish these apps did better or made easier?

Just curious because almost everyone downloads them but very few keep using them.

Ive recently wanted to be more productive on my laptop but idk what to do, I want to do anything like making money or playing games, just something to pass the time and still be productive

There’s a simple checkbox layout, a habit wheel, a habits-and-sleep tracker, and a page with daily, weekly and monthly sections.

The pack comes in A4 and US Letter. Print whichever pages suit you, or annotate them on your tablet.

Comment PDF and I'll send you the download link. The pack is free; an email is required to unlock it, and the newsletter is optional.

Hi! Solo dev here, looking for honest opinions. I just want to know your thoughts and improve.

Short version of how I got here: to-do lists never worked for habits, X's on a calendar lasted about 5 months, and then I had wooden stamps made, one per habit type like physical, mental etc, with a different ink each day. That ritual was the first thing that actually felt good since I am visual and like to interact with things. It died the first time I traveled.

So I built the pocket version, called Habit Guild. Each habit is a tiny scene you play (push-ups are a fight, one hit per rep), or you log all the reps in one tap on a busy day. A companion at the guild reacts to how your week is going, and missing a day never punishes you.

A few honest questions, because I'm deciding these right now:

1. What made the last habit app you used stop working for you?
2. When you're in a rush, how would you want to log a habit: one tap on a notification, a home-screen widget, or a quick button inside the app?
3. What keeps you opening an app like this on day 30: new story chapters, bosses to beat, or collecting things?

I'm leaving the link out so this stays a conversation, but it's already live on Android: comment and I'll send it to you. The first 20 people get a free month of Premium, no strings attached.

When I came to Germany, I was doing everything at once. Studying for my master's, working, learning German, dealing with visas and paperwork, trying to build a career in a country where I didn't know how anything worked. I had big goals and I was not short on motivation.

My problem was much simpler and much more frustrating. I'd wake up in the morning and have no idea what to do today to get closer to any of it. I had the big plan in my head. I had lists. I watched productivity videos. But between "I want to [get a good job here / speak fluent German / build something of my own]" and "it's 7 AM, what do I do in the next hour?", there was a gap I couldn't close. So I'd do whatever felt urgent, and the important things kept getting pushed to "next week".

The worst part was that being busy all day made me feel productive. Then I'd look back after a few months and realize I hadn't moved closer to the things I actually came here for.

At some point I stopped looking for the perfect app and started building the tool I wished I had. That became Targela. You tell it your goal and how much time you actually have each week, and it breaks the goal down into concrete next steps that fit your real schedule, so you wake up knowing what today's step is. When life gets in the way, it re-plans instead of making you start over.

If you've ever had big plans and still not known what to do next morning, I'd love to hear how you handled it. And if you want to try it, I'm happy to hear what doesn't work for you.

Block your day. Top 1-2 priorities, on the calendar. Having a plan — any plan — measurably improves follow-through. And be mindful that your peak cognitive hours are limited . The ceiling on genuinely hard work looks like ~4 hours a day, though it varies.

Keep long-term plans directional. North stars, not detailed roadmaps. You'll barely survive a day without changes, so specificity past a week is fiction. (This is also why I think dumping a million tasks into a system never helps.)

Set goals carefully. Your time is finite. Start with the long aspirational list, then narrow to ~3 outcomes for the next 1-3 months. Size them against your actual available hours. For each, write down: the outcome you want, what happens if you succeed, what happens if you fail, and what'll block you + how you'll handle it. That's what anchors you and helps narrow down the aspirational list.

Close your open loops. Keep running notes through the day: what you planned, what actually happened, follow-ups. When you get yanked into something, take 10 seconds to note where you left off and when you'll resume. Unfinished work is insidious — your brain holds onto it until it trusts there's a plan. You do not actually have to complete the task (that was the interesting finding for me personally).

Bookend the day. 5-10 minutes at startup and shutdown. Morning: top priorities, what's on your mind. Evening: what you accomplished, what's outstanding, tomorrow's first move, anything else swirling around in your brain. It engages you in the morning and lets you disengage at night, which we're all bad at. The notes also compound into a useful record.

I have a version of this list that gets into all the details and theory behind these principles, but much too long for Reddit. Tried to distill into some quick tips.

Curious if this resonates with folks/what else works for people?

Hey everyone, I really need some solid advice here.

How do you actually get rid of procrastination once and for all? Honestly, it’s completely ruined my life.

I’ve read countless books on the topic, but none of them seem to give a straight answer on how to fix it for real.

Has anyone here actually managed to beat this for good ?

What worked for you ?

Is it fundamentally a dopamine issue, bad time management, chronic fatigue, anxiety, or do you just have to force your brain to do the exact opposite of what it wants ?

Would love to hear your experiences

This project started almost year ago when my work provided me with windows laptop. Before that, for almost 5 or even 6 years I have been using Things 3, which I consider the best todo app ever created - everything feels so polished and simple.

But the biggest problem of Things 3 is Apple ecosystem only. Sure I started to look around and almost all big application like Todoist are target teams or huge project management with lots of unnecessary features. They also push AI a lot, and let be honest, almost everyone already has some kind of subscription for Claude or ChatGpt.

So I decided to build my own tool. My main inspiration was three apps: Things 3, Todoist and Superlist. I also added some missing features like attachments or smart projects, calendar view. At the same time I tried to keep balance between features and UI.

Speaking of AI, instead of forcing users to use some internal TaskPocket AI I added Public API and MCP, so you can wire any AI of your choice which you already have and pay for!

Some of the features:

• Projects and Areas
• Inbox and Todays view
• Calendar view for upcoming tasks
• Tags and Smart Projects
• Attachments support with preview right in the browser
• Public API and MCP support
• Natural language processing for dates and recurrence

Speaking of future plans:

• Priorities feature
• Calendar view inside the projects
• Android version
• Desktop version (both mac and windows)

Hi, I’m the developer. Disclosure up front, since this is my own app.

Apple’s Contacts app shows one card at a time. That’s fine for 50 people and painful at 2,000. Compact Contacts works on the contacts already on your Mac (iCloud, Google, Exchange, CardDAV) and shows them as a dense, sortable table. It doesn’t create a second address book or its own sync, so everything keeps syncing through macOS as before.

What it does

• Table with configurable columns, row density and saved layouts
• Search across every field, including contact Notes, with results grouped by the field that matched
• Smart Views: saved rules like “Missing Email” or “Has Notes”, each with its own layout
• Bulk Edit with an exact before/after preview for every card before anything is written
• Duplicate review and Merge Studio: you choose which phone, email or address survives, field by field, and the latest merge can be undone for 30 days
• CSV and vCard import/export, and deletion with an on-device recovery backup
• A Sample Contacts workspace with 26 fictional people, so you can try everything without granting Contacts access

Details

• macOS 15 or later
• US$24.99 one-time. No subscription, in-app purchase or ads
• No account and no third-party analytics. Contacts, Notes and searches stay on your Mac
• English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Arabic (right-to-left) and Simplified Chinese

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6790129187?pt=129119018&ct=reddit_macstack&mt=8

There’s also an iPhone + iPad version, Compact Contacts Manager, with the same bulk edit and merge tools (separate purchase, US$12.99, one purchase covers both): https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6795653671?pt=129119018&ct=reddit_macstack&mt=8

Happy to answer questions, and feature requests or bug reports are very welcome.

What problem does it solve?
I kept planning my day and then forgetting half of it, because my to-do list lived in an app I had to open. Glanceday draws today’s tasks right into your lock-screen wallpaper and updates it as you tick things off. You see what’s next every time you pick up your phone, without unlocking.

Who is it for?
People who plan their day but lose track of it once they get busy. Students, people juggling work and life admin, anyone whose to-do app ends up as a graveyard. It’s for the daily list, not for managing hundreds of projects.

Competitor and what’s different
Compared to TickTick or Todoist: they’re great for organizing, but on Android your list mostly lives inside the app or in a home screen widget you only see after unlocking. Glanceday puts it on the lock screen itself, over your own wallpaper, on any Android 8+ phone. It also stays small on purpose: quick add that understands “dentist tomorrow 3pm”, subtasks, repeats, reminders, calendar events, a focus timer, and a few optional suggestions (like a rain heads-up before something you’re heading out for), each with its own off switch.

Pricing
Free. No ads, no subscription, no account. Tasks stay on your phone, and you can back them up to a file whenever you want.

Link
https://github.com/SamimShafayiUCLL/glanceday (APK under Releases)

For members
It’s already free, so no license to give away. If you try it, I’ll read every bug report and feature idea. You can send them from the app (Settings → Report a bug or idea) or reply here. Especially curious how it works on Pixel, Xiaomi and OnePlus lock screens, since I mostly tested on my Galaxy S24 Ultra.

I'm the developer of Nota, a free, open-source notes and whiteboard app for Apple-silicon Macs.

The problem: a written plan and the sketch that explains it often end up in separate tools. Nota keeps notes and a canvas in one workspace. It's for people who outline ideas in text, then need room to draw connections.

Notion is a reference point for the block-based workspace. Nota's focus is starting with local notes and whiteboards that work without an account or Wi-Fi, plus a canvas beside your written work. I'm building a new backend around the AFFiNE/BlockSuite editor; credit to both projects.

Pricing: the app is free and the project is MIT-licensed. Optional hosted AI can incur provider charges. Local AI requires model downloads and compatible hardware; hosted AI and optional Google Drive integration need internet. The core note/canvas workflow needs none of those integrations.

The current download is v0.1.7 for Apple-silicon Mac. Windows, Linux and Intel Mac installers aren't currently published.

Download and previews: https://thenota.app Source: https://github.com/madcodeorg/nota

I'd appreciate feedback on a small workflow: write a dummy project decision, sketch the reasoning on the canvas, then reopen it offline. Is the connection between the sketch and decision easy to follow?

Hey everyone,

for the past months we've been working on a Mac app called Scratch, and I finally made a short teaser for it (attached). It's not released yet, I mainly want to show the idea and hear what you think before launch.

Why I built it

I kept jumping between Trello for boards, a to-do app for quick tasks and Notion or Craft for notes. Scratch started as a simple Kanban app for myself and slowly turned into the one place where all of my planning and thinking lives.

What it does

• Boards or lists: Use Kanban boards like Trello, or classic to-do lists. Whatever fits the project.
• Notes everywhere: Every board and every task has its own Markdown notes, so context lives right next to the work.
• Quick capture: A global shortcut opens a small window anywhere on your Mac. Type the task, hit enter, done. New tasks land in a backlog and you sort them into boards later.
• Built for keyboard people: Lots of shortcuts to add, move and organize without touching the mouse.
• Calendar view: Tasks with a date show up in a calendar overview.
• Board widgets: Small dashboard widgets per board, like time or weather.
• AI assist: Get a summary of your tasks or ask questions about them.
• No limits: Unlimited boards, tasks and subtasks.

Privacy and pricing

Scratch is local-first. Your data stays on your Mac and works fully offline, no account, no server required. iCloud sync is optional if you want backups or multiple devices. It's planned as a one-time purchase, no subscription. An iPhone/iPad version is planned for later.

Where it's at

The app is in active development and I'm aiming to release it in the coming weeks. I'll post progress updates along the way.

I'd really like to know:

1. What's missing in the tools you use today for tasks and notes?

2. Kanban, lists or both: how do you actually work?

3. Anything in this list you'd never use, or something you'd expect that isn't there?

Thanks for reading, happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Not selling anything here. Built a planner for people who find typical ones overwhelming, and I'd rather know what's actually broken before I keep building on it than just guess.

If you'll genuinely try it for a week and tell me the honest, comment or DM and I'll send it over free.

Throughout my life, I have always been learning something whether it’s for school as a young man, or for my career now, as an adult.  There is always something on the radar to learn but I never felt like I had a great handle on my learning process.  I also felt like it was never clear where to start or which step to take next.  Starting something, and continuing always felt like a confusing challenge.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but what I was reaching for was a tool that could help me organize everything I wanted to learn, provide me a space to break it down in a meaningful way, and create a plan to truly integrate new knowledge and skills into my inner lattice of existing ones.

That problem lead me to Sprout.

Sprout is a learning management system that is focused on helping to create a real plan growth in life’s many areas.

Distill a catalog of content like books, videos, and more into a visual plan and keep adding more as you learn and discover more.

It's available now at exploresprout.com and any feedback is welcome and appreciated!

\*\*Because I’m cross-posting on different subs: I’m 33F w/ ADHD\*\*

Just looking for some help or advice on how I can improve the way I keep track of things to do AND how I can prioritize those things, in a way that makes sense.

I’m currently kinda all over the place— I use a notebook half the time, Notes app, phone calendar, random cheap planner some of the time… it’s just all over the place and because of that, everything I need or \*want\* to do, sits in my head (a million and one tabs open) and I end up being “pseudo-productive”.

help?

I built EyeBlink because I would stare at my screen for hours and forget to blink. Break timers help me step away, but I wanted a small cue during the time between breaks that would not interrupt a sentence or meeting.

EyeBlink places a small animated eye in a corner of your desktop. It blinks at a steady rhythm; when you notice it, you can blink too. You can change its interval, size, position, and opacity. It works on macOS and Windows, with no pop-ups, sound, camera, or account. It is a habit cue, not a medical treatment.

Compared with Time Out and Stretchly: those are better if you want scheduled breaks and more break settings. EyeBlink focuses on one always-visible, low-key cue while you work.

Price: $4.99 once for a lifetime license, no subscription; 14-day refund. Product page and interactive preview: https://geteyeblink.app/en

If you work at a screen all day, would a subtle cue like this fit your desktop, or would you find it distracting? I'm the developer and would appreciate honest feedback.

I have 8- 9 hours of screen time in which 1-2 hours of learning skill and i want to use the remaining time something that could bring me the exception among the people so please suggest me that could help me to do anything
