Define what you want to accomplish during your study session. Having clear objectives will give you a sense of purpose and help you stay on track.
Develop a study schedule that includes dedicated time slots for each subject. Allocate more time to subjects or topics that you find challenging.
Find a quiet, comfortable, and well-lit place to study. Minimize distractions by turning off your phone or using apps that block social media and other time-wasting websites.
Long study sessions can be overwhelming. Break your study time into smaller, manageable chunks, and take short breaks in between (e.g., the Pomodoro Technique - 25 minutes of focused study followed by a 5-minute break).
Dehydration and hunger can negatively impact your concentration. Keep a water bottle and healthy snacks nearby to stay refreshed and energized.
Engage with the material actively. Take notes, ask questions, and discuss concepts with others if possible. Active learning helps you retain information better.
Start with the most important or challenging tasks when your energy and focus are at their peak. Save less demanding tasks for later.
Multitasking can decrease your overall productivity. Focus on one subject or task at a time to retain information better and complete tasks more efficiently.
