I should buy my first Mac 3 years before my first try, and I ignored a recommendation from a friend for 3 years before I started to use Notion, Anki is another example because I love it so much but very few people actually are using it

Good tools are essential to the learning process, new tools like ChatGPT is a gift to everyone in the world, and here are some methods to choose a tool fit for you:

Ask friends. Ask them about what tools they are using, and how they are using it is very helpful to find a new tool, and helpful to know more about a friend as well

Don’t try, watch YouTube videos. Especially for some tools you have to pay for the testing, watch YouTuber how to use it is much easy to know which tool is suitable for you

Bully it. Once you start to use a tool, always find some special cases to test the abilities, I would use Notion to displace Chemistry formulas, use Anki addons to make customized cards, and use a Podcasts App that supports a sleep timer. In this way, you will know why you need to find a better tool for you
