Studying is part of our lives and is essential in the process of learning. But today, many people ignore the point of studying, it's not about the good grades but how much knowledge do you have. Only knowledge can improve ourselves and improve our world.
Study smarter, not harder. Use these tips to get the right way of effective studying.
1. Make it a habit
First of all, make studying daily a habit is not that easy. Discipline is the key, force yourself to study or read an hour per day to develop the habit slowly. Read anything that you like. When it becomes a habit, you'll love to read at any time.
2. Find your zone
I do agree that a quiet and comfort zone is important for studying. The ideal zone prepares you to calm your brain and study properly. Besides, a quiet place makes you more focused and without distraction.
3. Organize notes visually
If you are studying for the exam and trying to memorize something, you must organize your notes visually as our brains naturally remember visual cues better.
Writing notes is a good habit as our brains store information better when we wrote something down after we read it.
4. Understand it instead of cramming your brain
Many students try to memorize without understanding, this is a wrong idea. Get the idea and understand the concept and application clearly so that you won't feel hard while you trying to remember it.
5. Focus and don't multitask
Don't try to study while doing other stuff at the same time. Multitasking reduces efficiency because our brains work better when we only focus on one thing. Put your phone aside and stay away from the screen, stay focus on your study.
6. Test yourself
Self-testing is crucial if you are studying for academic performance. Study smart by assessing and quizzing yourself.
Practicing test is a good way to see whether you completely understand.
7. Aim to teach
Teaching someone else is a win-win. The teacher and learner could learn from each other when discussing difficult concepts. While teaching, you'll learn how to analyze and explain to others and deepen your understanding at the same time.
