2. Study In A Place Which Is Quiet When you are in a quiet place, you can focus a lot more easier. The secret therefore in the quiet place is in the focus it allows, so that you can painstakingly and systematically begin to understand and digest the information which you need. It might be an easy route to sit in front of the TV and study there. However, this will lead to the TV to become a major distraction because the temptation is there. So not only must me be in a quiet place, but we must remove obvious temptations and potential distractions from our environment. The ideal environment can be categorised as somewhere the room is simple, the place to study clearly defined, the temptations non existent, the air cool and the whole environment calm. We must establish the calm in our environment if we are to establish the calmness in our minds. Once we achieve the calmness in our minds, the true learning can take place as things are assimilated into our minds a lot more easily. 3. Organize Your Study
Make sure you know what you are studying, and exactly why you are studying it. Their should be a clear objective in mind, and the proper understanding of what you are going to study should allow you to more easily pass your exams. The way to do this effectively, is to look at the end goal, and see what study you need to do to get to that end goal. 4. Study In Steps
If there is a difficult task to do, don't just jump into it straight away. The reason why it is difficult in the first place, is because you weren't familiar enough with the basics. So learn the basics fully first, before attempting difficult tasks. Do this as a series of steps to allow you to gradually learn each section as "a chunk" before moving upwards.
5. Focus on One Subject at a Time
When there is lack of direction, it becomes easy to jump from
subject to another. We are clueless and take on things in a random
sort of way. This is wrong. When we begin to specialise into one
subject for an allotted period of time, we will find that it becomes
a lot easier for us to fully focus on it, and allow the true
understandings and lessons to be learned. This is the correct way.
Once we start to become bored with one topic, then it is okay to
move to something else, but never
before.
6. Take
Breaks
There are certain do's and don'ts when it comes to break
taking. The reason you take a break is to allow your brain to fully
assimilate the information its just taken on, so that you can move
onto the next task. You do this by stopping your work, and relaxing
your mental activities for 10-15 minutes. It is not an invitation to
spend an hour or longer watching TV and then losing momentum to
study. It is a procedure of self discipline that will allow you just
enough time to fully recuperate mentally and also maintain your
study momentum.
These habits in themselves
are life skills that you can apply to all aspects of your life,
including business and social activities. The key theme here is
maintaining focus and direction throughout the study session, so
that the changes and lessons will be learned as
easily as desired.
7. Do not
memorise what you need to learn.
You
should instead be learning by understanding the concepts at hand.
This will only happen when you show a genuine interest in the topic
at hand. Of course, if it is formulas and functions which you
have in front of you, it might be better to memorise these first
before attempting to understand them fully.
8. Clearly understand the link between one topic and
the next.
When we understand the links, we
begin to understand how things are put together for
everything in the first place. We therefore increase that
aspect of our mind that understands and recognises
links.
9. Use Brain Boosting
Supplements
Brain
boosting supplements are an effective way to increase your rate
of learning very quickly. If your objective is to cram before an
exam, take supplements which will increase your short term memory.
Also make sure that you take a multivitamin to ensure that your
brain has enough nutrients to recover from each study session
effectively.
10. Use any
peakgenius BrainTune™ Audio whilst
studying.
Use it at the
very start of your study session, and for a maximum of 1 hour per
day. It will put your mind into a specialised and sharp state of
mind which will help you study effectively for the whole study
session.
11. Make Sure
You Get Good Sleep Every Night
In fact, it's
better to have too much sleep during study periods, than less.
This is because during study times, the brain needs time
to re-arrange itself and the information presented to it
correctly.
12. During study
times, make study your only focus.
In other
words, you will need to sacrifice your other commitments such as
sports, social clubs, TV, newspapers etc. Basically, everything
should be sacrificed simply for the sake of study. When you only
have one focus for your mind, your mind will specialise to help you
study effectively. It might be difficult to let go of certain things
due to them being habits, but we must realise that if you are school
or college sitting exams, studying effectively is critical to
success.
What To
Expect
Study sessions can sometimes
be tiring and stressful, especially if we have not done all the
work we were supposed to. We should therefore focus solely on
our studies when it comes to exam time. Lives can be made or broken
from the results we receive in exams, so it is of utmost importance
than we learn to follow the steps above and succeed in our
studies.
