Study Notes
Studying Effectively
- Focus on the quality of study sessions, not quantity.
- Read backwards: Start with chapter summaries and key points, then work back to the start.
- First pass: Quickly scan headings, charts, bold terms, and colored boxes for a general understanding.
- Second pass: Read the introduction of sections, skim main sections, and read the conclusion for each section.
- Batch similar tasks: Group tasks needing similar mental processes to prevent frequent task switching.
- Tackle easier tasks first: Begin with the easiest tasks within a batch to facilitate transition to new mental states.
- Set time constraints: Allocate less time for a task to boost efficiency. Tasks tend to expand to fill allocated time.
- Leverage AI tools: Use tools like Grammarly for brainstorming, research, outlining, and enhancing writing.
- Don't dwell on difficult problems: Move on from unsolvable problems and return later. This avoids the sunk cost fallacy.
- Do mindless tasks first: Complete fixed tasks (e.g., flashcards) before variable tasks (e.g., essays) to create time boundaries.
- Tag notes: Mark parts in your notes needing further review for focused review sessions.
- Avoid rereading notes: Focus on sections you find challenging instead of rereading all notes.
