A CS student at MIT finished his final semester with a 4.0 GPA. I found his NotebookLM workflow buried in a Reddit thread at 2am. He deleted it an hour later. Here's exactly what he was doing. He never uploaded lecture slides and asked for a summary. His first prompt was always: "Here are my notes, the textbook chapter, and last year's past papers. Give me the 3 ways professors trick students on exams with this concept. Then generate a problem that combines it with everything from the last 3 weeks." He wasn't studying the material. He was studying how the material gets weaponized against you. But the move that made me close my laptop and stare at the ceiling was his second one. He uploaded every single assignment he'd gotten wrong all semester. Then asked: "Find the pattern in my mistakes. What's the one concept I keep misunderstanding in different forms?" Every other student was using NotebookLM as a search engine. He was using it as a mirror. His third prompt was saved as a shortcut on his phone. "Based on my notes and these past papers, what topic am I least prepared for right now? Give me the 5 questions most likely to appear on my final that I can't answer yet." Three prompts. Every single week. While his classmates were rereading slides the night before finals, he already knew exactly where he was going to fail. Then he fixed it. He didn't study harder. He just never let himself feel comfortable.
