General tips to study better
Many students think that studying well means studying for long periods of time. Hours on end, sometimes late into the night. But that's not true. Studying well doesn't mean studying longer, it means studying smarter.
Your brain can only concentrate for a limited amount of time. If you keep going for too long, you'll get tired and absorb less. That's why it's important to approach your study sessions in the right way.
Make sure you have a good place to study
Your study area should be quiet.
That means:
- no TV on
- no noisy people
- no clutter on your desk
Your smartphone is a major source of distraction. Every message interrupts your concentration. So put your phone:
- in another room
- or turn it off completely
Work in short blocks
Studying is most effective in blocks of 30 to 50 minutes.
Then take a 5 to 10 minute break.
During that break:
- stand up for a moment
- drink some water
- take a short walk
- look away from your screen for a moment
Take good care of yourself
Your brain only works well if you take good care of yourself:
- get enough sleep
- eat regularly
- drink enough water
- get some exercise
👉 Studying well starts with rest, focus, self-care and ask Maeve :)
