📌 1. Use the Pomodoro Technique

Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. After four sessions, take a longer break (15–30 minutes). This keeps your brain fresh and focused.

Try this: Set a timer or use free apps like “Pomodoro Timer.”

🧠 2. Teach What You Learn

If you can explain a topic to someone else, you’ve truly understood it. Try teaching your notes to a friend — or even to your pillow! 😄

✍️ 3. Use Active Recall

Instead of just reading your notes, test yourself. Close the book and try to remember key points. This makes information stick longer in your memory.

🗂️ 4. Organize Your Notes by Topics, Not by Dates

Keep your notes organized by subject and topic so you can review them easily before exams. Use color codes, bullet points, or digital apps like Notion.

🔕 5. Eliminate Distractions

Turn off notifications, use “Do Not Disturb” mode, or try study music. A quiet, focused study zone will help you absorb more in less time.
