I'm rediscovering the use of a blue SAD light for productive works/study time.

Also Newton's cradle is good for setting a beat

is there an android alternative, as that sounds pretty cool

If you search mind map, you should be able to find a variety of options. I can't vouch for one specifically.

I did look to see if there was a multi platform app that similarly met my needs like MarginNote (to use with my ereader), but I wasn't able to find anything I didn't consider a meaningful downgrade. There are a lot of note taking apps out there, but none of them seem to work well as both readers and notes simultaneously. I haven't done a deep dive yet, but there were a lot of "there's not a good comparison" in other threads on it.

Edit: switched to the "framework mode" and showing the early version of working through marking the book up for real instead of the last version. The same thing can be switched to a mindmap with one click, but this feels better for this content:

I won't show the content of any of it, but just to show the widget and that I actually do use the mind mapping for random projects that may or may not go anywhere:
