Study Less, Study Smart!

I took a lecture on Study less, Study Smart by Marty Lobdell on YouTube and here are some key points i noted

Before studying, check your watch. The moment you sense you’re not getting it, note what time it is, record and take a break. Studying more will not necessarily help RULES

• Break your study with little pieces of reinforcement. The moment you start to slide, you’re shuffling against time…TAKE A BREAK.

• Find a study area: we are controlled by environment cues *Bedroom❌ Living room❌ blah blah

• The more active you are in your learning the more effective Reading/saying over and over till you assimilate (rote memorization) Know if you’re learning a fact or a concept Note: if you can’t put the concept in your own words, then you don’t really understand.

• Study groups (join a community on Twitter)
• Highlighting: Highlight the most important information. Read through first then highlight
• Have adequate sleep. You can undo studying by not having adequate sleep
• Take notes and study the notes immediately after class.
• The best way to learn is teach it reinforces your learning. Activity can take the form of recitation.
• Write what you learn out in your own words
• 80% of your study time is best spent reciting and 20% reading
• SQ3R- Survey, question, read, recite and review
• Mnemonics; acronyms, coined sayings and interacting images.
