Smartcuts for Learning
One thing I've become particularly passionate (and concerned) about is how poorly prepared many young people are for university level learning.
To this end, I established unihacker.net a few years ago to provide training to school leavers, freshmen, graduates, and anyone who's interested in navigating higher education learning.
Higher education is a different animal to high school. You're on your own much more. You're expected to delivery much higher quality assignments.
Unihacker is my modest effort to help people become better at learning.
What I don't do is delve into the 'psychology' of learning. There is a little bit of that, although I'm not a psychologist.
My issue with that is that it tends to be quite technical for people who just want to know what to do to perform better in consequential assessments.
There is plenty of advice floating out there on the internet. If you look for it you'll find it.
But my services in this area are very practical.
I take students through the process of assembling an assignment 'deliverable' (a paper, a presentation, an exam) and how to do that in a 'scholarly' way that impresses your tutors.
Unihacker's programs are goal focused.
There's a taste of what I offer below.

Why is it important?
When should you use it, and how do you write one?

What about referencing and citation?
There's a lot of videos on the internet, but do they cover everything you need to know?

If you're a heartfelt learner who wants to take full advantage of your shot at university, then you'll need to understand the damage the AI can do to your ability to learn.
This is a new issue, but also a serious one.
Here's my take on the risks of AI for student learning:
The Manual
Hacking University: A manual for undergraduates is available on Amazon as a Kindle or hardcopy.
The book goes through all my advice and experience as both a student and higher education tutor.
There are sections on everything from university and program/course choices through to mastering the major assignment types, from presentations, to research papers, to exams.
