How to study more effectively. [from e-how xD]
- Step 1
WHEN:
Start out by estimating how many hours of study you need.
Study when you feel most energetic and motivated.
Find odd “down” times to study like while you are waiting to see the dentist. - Step 2
WHERE:
Select a quiet location where you will not be disturbed.
Study sitting in a chair instead of lying down. Your head will stay clearer.
Maintain a routine by Studying in the same place. - Step 3
HOW:
Stay focused on your reason for studying (in other words, keep your goals in mind).
Resist distractions during those times you have to set aside to study.
Be persistent and disciplined.
Think about tackling the tougher chapters first.
Study in briefer time spans and give yourself short breaks in between. This keeps you fresh and wont waste time.
Study habits work better when you take time out to “play”. Do not deprive yourself of being with friends and family.
Remember that sleep, good nutrition, and exercise keep the brain and body in good working order.
Hope I’ll be able to keep these tips in mind, especially now that the new semester has started. :)
