Develop blocks of study time.
About 50 minutes? How long does it take for you to become
restless?
Some learners need more frequent breaks for a variety of
reasons.
More difficult material may also require more frequent
breaks.
Schedule weekly reviews and updates.
Prioritize assignments.
When studying, get in the habit of beginning with the most difficult subject or
task.
Find alternative study places free from distractions to maximize
concentration.
Got "dead time"?
Think of using time walking, riding, etc. for studying "bits".
Review studies and examples just before class.
Review lecture material immediately after class.
Forgetting is greatest within 24 hours without review.
Schedule time for critical course events.
Papers, presentations, tests, etc.
