AI Tools for Students
Scheduling is more than just adding class times, assignment due dates, and exam times to your calendar—it involves creating a plan to help you use your time more effectively.
AI-powered tools can act as a personal assistant to automatically manage your calendar and book the best times for you to complete important tasks. Some tools can even generate reports to help you identify where you could make changes in your schedule to ensure you've given yourself enough time to finish projects early!
In this section, we'll spotlight one tool you can start using right now, and share a few options you could use to take your scheduling to the next level.
Learn the basics of creating semester plans to highlight all your major milestones and weekly plans to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals.
Reclaim.ai is an AI-powered smart calendar assistant that automatically finds the best times to schedule studying, tasks, habits, and breaks.
Many of us experience a phenomenon called planning fallacy when scheduling our work, which involves underestimating how much time we need to complete a task or project despite knowing that we needed extra time to complete similar tasks in the past. We might see our future selves as more productive or efficient than our current selves, or we may underestimate how complex college-level assignments can be.
Tools like Reclaim can be synced with your Google Calendar to make sure your personal and professional calendars work best for you and reflect any changes that might affect your work during the semester. For example, you can use Reclaim to set up flexible habits (e.g., 30-minute lunch, 4-hour focus time for studying), to schedule buffer time between classes of while you're commuting to campus, or to quickly set up meetings with group members during a team project.
Reclaim also generates simple reports so you can understand how you're using your time and to make sure you're protecting your work-life balance.
