Did some research, and found that my experience isn’t isolated, and that passive review doesn’t force retrieval, so nothing sticks, and I knew I had to do something about it.

That’s why I built Professor Goose. You pick a topic, explain it out loud to a goose, and he keeps probing until he understands you. Never gives you the answer, just keeps asking follow ups until a sound understanding is reached, which in turn makes you figure stuff out or realise you never understood your topic in the first place.

Free to try, no account needed, upload your syllabus for exam board specific questions. Curious whether this approach resonates with others, it sure has for me.

I wanted something simple, not those dumb tracking apps from ads on IG, not a Notion template with 20 linked databases. Just a spreadsheet I could open every morning, check some boxes, and see how I was doing.

So I built the thing I wanted. A Google sheets tracker that stays open in my browser tabs, doesn’t send me useless notifications or try to get me to sign up to a monthly plan. The spreadsheet has got a habit tracker, dashboard, daily journal, weekly metrics and a goals sheet.

It’s super helpful for me and if you guys want it, it’s free here: https://wunzqr.gumroad.com/l/marfhs

Also, feedback on what could be improved would be appreciated :)
