Studying alone and in a quiet space is the way to go most of the time—but there are instances when studying with someone else is unavoidable, like when you're assigned a group project. I'm a group project hater myself, but I admit it can be nice to split up the work on a more overwhelming workload. In fact, there are times studying together can be even more beneficial than studying alone, provided you do it right. For instance, dividing work among the members of a group can help you tackle a huge amount o…

If you’ve been eyeing a big-screen upgrade but waiting for the prices to make sense, this might be the moment. The 77-inch LG C5 OLED Evo TV has dropped to $2,150, down from nearly $3,700, which is wild considering it’s only a few months into its release.

Many established study methods grew out of old research and stuffy pedagogical theories, so when a new one crops up on social media it’s worth checking out—if only to gauge whether a modernized approach can pay dividends. Sometimes, the most tried-and-true, old-school methods are best, but that doesn't mean fresh updates on traditional ideas can't be great, too. One study technique that frequently makes the rounds on social media is dubbed the “2, 3, 5, 7” method (or usually just "2357"). What’s interes…

I love being able to go to the pharmacy for my own (or my kids’) flu shots. Pop in, get the shot, then go about my day. That process has now gotten even easier: Last year, the FDA approved the first flu vaccine that you can administer yourself, or that parents can administer to their children, and it's now available for at-home ordering. I just placed my order. And best of all: It’s a nasal spray, so no needles. How can you get the at-home flu vaccine? The nasal spray vaccine, called FluMist, still needs to be prescribed by a medical provider. But since nearly everyone aged two through 49 is eligible, FluMist’s maker (AstraZeneca) has a telehealth website that bundles the…

When you learn and use a studying method, you’re making it easier for your brain to synthesize new information. Great. Now think of how much more you could learn and retain if you could double up on the methods you’re using. Why, you could learn twice as much. You can do that, but it takes a little pre-planning and patience. It’s called “dual coding,” and it’s a popular teaching and studying technique that’s proven to help you retain more of what you’re learning. Study twice as hardThe dual-coding theory…

In the resale game, you have to be prepared to negotiate with buyers, and even accept less money than you think your items are worth. That's just how it goes—you can either hold strong to your conviction that the sweater you're selling is worth $100, or you can accept $80 for it and move on. Most non-professional sellers, myself included, end up taking that $80, because you get money and you get rid of the item taking up too much space in your home. Accepting a lower offer is just part of the process, even if it stings. But a lowball offer? You shouldn't need to waste your time with that—and many platforms, like eBay and Mercari, have automatic tools in place that save y…
