Nerdify Reviews 7 Influential Ideas For The Last Summer Month

This time our friendly Nerdify reviews team is here to tell you about the books that will inspire and take you on a wonderful journey as you read along. We decided to choose among the entries that differ on the subject, type, and target audience. There will be something for everyone from detective stories and drama to inspiration books that will teach you a lesson or two. Below are the contestants that are most expected among the readers in 2020:

The Power of Self-Discipline by Brian Tracy

We can always install a helpful application that will alert us about things we have to do, yet it will never work without at least a bit of self-discipline that comes straight from our brain. Written in a friendly and heart-warming language, this book helps to find ways to focus on the most important things. There should be no excuses this time! Find enough time to meet an old friend, study well, and still have fun. This book is a perfect guide when you need just a little bit of help. As we picked the Nerdify reviews list, this book became a revelation and pointed out things we all seemed to miss!

Smarter, Faster, Better! The Secrets of Being Productive in Life & Business by Charles Duhigg

Living in the age of technology and information, it seems that being successful often becomes our top priority. This book takes a scientific approach to success and focuses on neuroscience, social sciences, and psychology of experienced individuals. There are quotes from CEOs, aircraft pilots, law enforcement agents, songwriters, Hollywood actors, and more. See what has made them successful and read about exclusive facts shared by the experts.

Long Bright River by Liz Moore

As the true Nerds we are, Nerdify reviews would be incomplete without at least one novel dealing with mystery and a detective story. An upcoming story from the author of the famous The Girl On The Train novel, this particular book is a mixture of mystery and an unsolved crime. It tells of a female policewoman from Philadelphia as she seeks for her missing sister. It is more than a family drama as it deals with addiction and explores powerful emotions. Not wishing to give much away, we cannot recommend this book enough!

A Long Petal of the Sea by Isabel Allende

If you want to learn more about the Spanish Civil War and take a trip back in time, this book is your best bet. Telling about the romance between a man and a woman in love, this beautiful story has a classic narration style where realism and the painful truth combine in an endless sea of emotions. It is epic, powerful, the reading that will probably make you cry and think of giving a call to all the beloved.

The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley

No, this is not your typical motivation book offered by Nerdify reviews! This great story is a true adventure book with strong thriller elements. It tells about an aging artist who starts writing his life story in a little green book. Sounds just about right? Well, it doesn’t if you forget it in the local bar! When a stranger picks it up, the book becomes filled with more and more entries that tell about the locals. There are more twists and mysteries than one can imagine!

Mr. Nobody by Catherine Steadman

Some of us may not really like reading and would rather watch a movie, yet this is another story. This novel tells about a man who finds himself washed up upon an English countryside beach. He does not remember who he is or where he came from. As he seeks help, the best English neuro-psychiatrist offers professional help. The story becomes rather complex and frightening as the doctor realizes that the past is not that bright and there are things the patient would rather not remember. Powerful, thrilling, and well-written, this book is just like watching a Netflix movie that keeps you up on your toes until the end.

Apeirogon by Colum McCann

The last entry is not an easy read, yet a good reminder about how precious our lives are and how our differences often make us united. This book tells about two fathers, one of whom is Palestinian and the other one from Israel. They both have lost their children because of the endless conflict that takes place in the region. How do they cope? Is there a light of hope for them or at least a try to diminish the loss? A winner of the National Book Award, McCann claims that his latest offering reveals the inner side of politics and the culture as the pain, loss, hope, and the memories come undone.

While students certainly work hard in high school, adjusting to the college workflow can be quite challenging for first-year students. Even when students learn to adapt to the heavy course loads typical of a university, as their academic career progresses into their junior and senior years, their classes become more challenging. To help students old and new deal with feeling overwhelmed, our Nerdify reviews experts have some advice below.

1. Plan Ahead

One way to make sure that you don’t have a last-minute panic about assignments you had forgotten were due is to organize all of your work well in advance. You can even start mapping out your semester during syllabus week, as professors will often give schedules noting when the big tests, assignments, and essays occur. Be sure to mark down the days of midterms and finals too, as those all happen in the same week and can accidentally be forgotten. Even if you have some of the same assignments due week-to-week, it’s still wise, say Nerdify reviews experts, to put them on your calendar so you remember them.

2. Be Realistic About Your Availability

Relating to planning ahead, it’s important that you are truthful with yourself about how much you can do in a day. We can quickly become overly ambitious by cramming too much in our days, falling victim to the “planning fallacy.” That is the psychological term for the cognitive bias we have in thinking tasks will take less time than they will actually require, leading us to snowball into falling behind as we run out of time in the day. It’s good to block out your day in your schedule, but you’ll need to think carefully about how much time it will take to get the work done that needs to be accomplished. A great way to find out how long a task will take is to time yourself the next time you complete a similar assignment, as you can use it to gauge how future projects will go, state Nerdify reviews experts.

3. Make Sure to Sleep Properly

One of the worst cycles to get into as a college student is to chronically undersleep. This might start from you not getting enough work done during the day and needing to study late into the evening, while still necessitating getting up early the next day. Since you’re tired the next day, you won’t be nearly as productive as you could otherwise be, so then you stay up late again trying to catch up. While it’s best to avoid this cycle altogether, realizing you’re getting trapped in it before it becomes a habit is essential, as many Reddit users state they can sometimes repeat this behavior for an entire semester. Be gentle with yourself and realize that you deserve sleep, no matter how productive you were or weren’t that day—learning that it will actually help you work better in the long run.

4. Get Moving

When you’re in the midst of panicking about deadlines, the idea of working out is probably one of the last things on your mind. As much as Reddit users hate to admit it, they, and science, find that exercise is an incredible stress reliever. Getting your heart pumping releases endorphins, which can help greatly improve your mood, and even help those with mental health problems like depression, anxiety, and attention deficit disorder (ADHD). Exercising in some way, whether that’s hitting the gym or just walking around, allows your mind to relax, as you don’t need to actively focus like you would reading, writing, solving math problems, etc. Stepping and getting a breath of fresh air allows your mind to rejuvenate, and you’ll be able to return to your work with a renewed perspective.

5. Chew Gum

No, really. Believe it or not, our Nerdify reviews team knows that chewing gum has been scientifically proven to help with anxiety and stress. When stressed, your brain makes your body act like it is in physical danger, even if the only actual “danger” is getting a bad grade. Reddit users remark that the act of chewing gum is like eating, and evolutionarily speaking it would make no sense to eat during life-or-death situations, so snaking on gum tricks your brain into thinking that you’re not actually in danger. Additionally, chewing gum increases the blood flow and oxygen in your brain, allowing you to think more clearly. Studies have shown, says Nerdify reviews team, that chewing gum can not only help you relieve stress before and after exams, but it will also aid your performance by helping your memory and recall of information.

The mission of Nerdify has always been helping students to achieve more during their academic years at College or University. However, apart from helping students from all over the world, Nerdify is pioneering a new way to advance education through technology (Nerdy Bot Scholarship Competition is a great example of that).

On September 6th, 2016 Nerdify has launched one of the first AI educational bot for Facebook Messenger on ProductHunt – NerdyBot. The launch was a massive success – NerdyBot became a product of the year and won a Golden Kitty from ProductHunt.

We’ve decided to expand our success with Nerdybot and, on January 1st, 2018, launched a Nerdybot Scholarship – a worldwide competition, where any student could submit a 500-word essay on the following topic – “How can Artificial Intelligence help you with your studies?”

Students had 2 months to submit their essays (last day was on February 28th, 2018) and top 3 essays would get the following rewards – $1000, $600, $400 respectively.

We’ve been amazed by the number of essays we’ve got from you, guys! More than 1000 submissions from all over the world (and we mean literally from all over the world, just check out the countries we’ve had submissions from USA, Canada, Brazil, UK, Australia, South Korea, Spain, France, Bulgaria, Hungary, Uganda, Nigeria, India, Philippines, Romania, Ghana, Barbados, Netherlands, Vietnam)

We are so very grateful to each and every one of you. Seeing that level of participation, is really what keeps Nerdify team pushing the boundaries of education 🙂

Today we are going to announce the winners of the Nerdy Bot Scholarship Competition! 🙂

And the winners are……

First Place: Dora M. Donnelly (USA).

Second Place: Marisa Araujo Goncalves (Brazil).

Third Place: Zeeshan Azhar Sankaran (India).

We would like to congratulate our winners that have done an amazing job and we would also like to share with you our winner’s essay: “Nerdy Bot Scholarship Essay by Dora M. Donnelly”

A few words about our winner: Dora is a Bachelor student in US pursuing a Nursing degree. We’ve conducted a very short interview with the winner:

1. Dora, tell us 2-3 interesting facts about yourself?

• I am an avid traveler – love visiting other countries and studying different cultures
• I love technology – it’s amazing to me, how it keeps on changing the lives of ordinary people
• I am a foodie, so I love cooking and trying different cuisines 🙂

1. What is your dream?

• My dream is to become a Nurse and later on open up my own practice. I really love helping other people, this is what makes me wake up every morning 🙂

1. Where will you spend $1000 scholarship?

• I strongly believe that education is an essential part of a one’s personal development. Therefore I will allocate my prize money towards my sister’s education. She is only 12 now, but it’s important to start saving up as early as possible, since education is very expensive in the US (I am looking forward to see how tech companies will disrupt the conventional education industry by offering affordable, good quality education to the mass market).

We were very impressed by Dora, such an inspiring student 🙂

We would like to congratulate all participants and thank them for taking part in our Nerdy Bot Scholarship competition. All winners should receive their winnings within the next 5 business days.

Follow us on Twitter and Facebook and stay tuned! There will be more challenges and competitions that you can participate in, later this year!
