Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Asking without context: If you don't provide your actual schedule, the AI will suggest 4-hour blocks you can't actually fulfill.

• Over-complicating the tracker: Don't track 20 things at once. Start with one study habit and expand.

• Ignoring the 'Why': Don't just track hours; track the quality of the session (e.g., 'Did I do active recall?').

• Letting the AI hallucinate progress: Be honest in your inputs; the AI can only analyze the data you give it.
