How to Study More Effectively
Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb
One of the questions I seem to
get asked all the time is how to study more effectively... so today I'm going
to share some my best tips with you!
In work
with and coach many students from high school through to university and
professionals who are furthering their education and one of the biggest
challenges most of them face is constantly being distracted.
So rule
number one when it comes to studying effectively is to remove your
distractions, turn your phone off and create an environment in your house or at
work or at school where you can focus on your work... create your own sanctuary
for learning.
Rule
number two: Work in a small blocks of time, I notice too many students who are
over studying and that is usually the least effective way to absorb information.
You want to work in 15-45 minute blocks of intense focus without distractions.
Once
you have studied and applied your self intensely for whatever period of time
you can handle, then you have to get into the habit of going for walk or
exercising for 10-20 minutes before you hit the books again. Walking or working
out between study sessions will allow you to be more effective in your next
session but it will also help you to be more mindfull and absorb the material
you have just been studying on a subconscious level.
Rule
number three: Study in the early hours of morning when you have a fresh mind,
body and spirit. If your study and education is so important to you, why would
you wait untill the end of the day when you are feeling exhausted to study? Not
to mention there are no distractions before 5am..
Rule
number four: Studying is like any other discipline in life - it requires you to
take a holistic approach, so you have to factor in diet, rest, exercise and
your overwall wellbeing. Don't expect great results if you're busy partying,
drinking, eating junk food and going to bed at all hours of the day... You're
in training right now and that means you have to train your body, mind and soul
so you can perform at your highest level and learn your craft.
Remember
you're not studying to just pass a test - you're studying to learn so you can
apply that knowledge in some useful way in your life. :))
