The Feynman Technique
To truly understand a concept, try explaining it in simple terms as if teaching a child. Identify gaps in your explanation and revisit the material to strengthen your understanding.
Spaced Repetition
Review material at increasing intervals: first a day later, then a few days later, then a week later. This helps transfer information to long-term memory.

Active Recall Practice
Instead of simply re-reading your notes, actively test yourself on the material. This forces your brain to retrieve information, strengthening memory connections.
Effective Note-Taking Strategies
Try the Cornell method: divide your page into sections for notes, cues, and summary. This helps organize information and facilitates review later.
The 2-Minute Rule
If a task takes less than 2 minutes to complete, do it immediately instead of scheduling it for later. This prevents small tasks from piling up.
Study Music Recommendations
Consider lo-fi beats, classical music, or nature sounds while studying. Avoid music with lyrics if you're working with language-based tasks.
