Maximize Study Time (3 Quick Tips)

https://joemaule.com

Get the most out of your study time and maximize retention.

Distractions are everywhere when we are trying to study. Cell phones, social media, games, are designed to steal your attention. When you need to sit down and focus, remove these distractions so you are not tempted.

When studying, use active recall to retain information more effectively. Passively reading, highlighting, or even copying notes as you go are not the most effective ways to remember material. Practical ways to implement active recall include taking notes from memory, using flashcards, and actually working through problems on your own in subjects like math and finance.

Instead of continuing to hack away at a tree when you are exhausted, it is more efficient to take a break to "sharpen your saw" so you can get the job done faster when you get back to work. This analogy applies perfectly to studying. Instead of pulling all nighters and doing marathon study sessions, make sure you are resting, eating right, getting enough sleep, and taking care of yourself so you can actually focus and make progress when you sit down to learn something.
