Study Notes
Pomodoro Technique
- Short study periods (25 minutes) followed by 5-minute breaks
- Effective for avoiding procrastination and burnout
- Breaks should not involve TV or social media scrolling; activities like walking or drinking water are recommended
- Study time equals TV time as a potential trade-off
The Feynman Technique
- Understand a topic by explaining it simply, like teaching a child.
- Steps: choose a topic, explain it simply, identify any missed parts, refine the explanation further.
Mind Mapping
- Visual tool to organize information around a central idea.
- Central concept in the middle, branches for related ideas/topics/facts.
- Improves understanding and memory retention.
Active Recall
- Powerful memory improvement technique
- Involves testing yourself on material rather than re-reading.
- Recall information from memory, check your notes.
- Strengthen memory and reinforce learning.
- Utilize tools like flashcards or Quizlet.
- Regularly test yourself without notes.
- Periodic review of material using active recall
Maintaining Study Motivation and Productivity
- Optimize Study Space: Organized, distraction-free environment is crucial.
- Study Buddy: Can increase effectiveness and motivation.
- Break Down Large Tasks: Divide large projects (e.g., research papers) into manageable segments (topic selection, research, outlining, writing introduction/body/conclusion, editing).
- Reward Yourself: Short breaks or rewards (e.g., chocolate) after completing a goal can boost motivation.
