Study Hacks

  Imagine you have a garden and there are weeds growing in it. There are two ways of getting rid of weeds one easy and one not easy. The easy way may be to run a lawn mower and the yard looks fine for a while, but that is temporary. Soon the weeds are back. But the not so easy task way may mean getting down on your hands and knees and pulling out the weeds by the roots. It is time consuming and painful, but the weeds will stay away for a longer time. The first solution appeared easy, but the problem remained. The second solution was not so easy, but took care of the problem from the roots. The key is to get to the root of the problem. The same thing is true for our life also. Similarly, common people wants instant answers. They are looking for quick solution to everything. As say, you are solving questions which you are not getting and then you will check answers and you will say, Yes I know this problem. But if you will be given that question again you will get stuck on it again b...

  Imagine you are going to appear for an exam after five days and you have four subjects of equal length to study. In order to revise your syllabus you can adopt any of the following methods: -- Method I: --  Studying and completing one subject a day and making a final revision on the fifth day of all the subjects. Method II: -- Every day studying a combination of subjects like two hours chemistry then physics for the next two hours. Let's now analyze and understand how the brain works to find which method is better. The Analysis: -- When we study a particular subject, say Physics a particular part of the brain is working more than the rest of the brain. When we shift to say chemistry, practically the other part of the brain would become active and the part studying physics will go for rest. So by changing the subject after periodic intervals, we give a chance to refresh a particular part of the brain and also prevent ourselves from feeling tired. If we study a particular subj...

 Research shows that we forget 82% of all that we learn within 24 hours! We will discuss below how you can prevent this loss by using the method of systematic revision. Systematic revision is an extremely powerful scientific method for transferring information from the short term memory to long term memory. The student who does not use systematic revision method is in fact wasting the time he has already spent on learning something. The Systematic revision method: -- Let's say one takes two hours to learn a particular topic by heart. When should one revise it? Scientifically speaking the first revision should be done after twenty four hours. On an average the brain is able to retain the newly learnt information up to 80-100% for only twenty four hours. Forgetting cycle becomes faster as soon as twenty four hours of the learning are over.  Once revised after twenty four hours, the brain is able to hold it for approximately seven days, then the forgotten cycle once again become...

 If you have a clear and compiling goal it will surely mobilize your focus towards actionable behaviour. Ask yourself " What do you need to do to achieve your goal?" Write it down! Because having clarity in mind and then breaking your study goals into small chunks will help you apply your energies where you need it the most. Now these are some guidelines which you must follow while setting your goals: -- • Make sure to write your goals. It is then better to concentrate. • Make sure to set up your priorities or you will mess up accomplishing nothing. •Your goals should be reasonable enough to be always  within your reach. • Also, you should be specific, the more specific you are the easier it is to measure your progress. Now, you are done with it. You have set up your goals but then how to achieve it... • Firstly, make sure that your study period don't exceed 3 hours and always use POMODORO technique.

 Teachers and parents always advise us to study hard, but never told us how to. Very little time is devoted to teaching students to break down the course into manageable chunks. As a consequence, we face many problems. So here are some smart ways:-- Eliminate the black holes: -- Do not spend your hours with gaining nothing. Remove all the black hole. Like if you spend your 2 hours for playing video games. Minimize your time to one hour and spend the remaining one hour for effective studying. You will surely get advantage of this. Pomodoro Technique : -- Humans can not focus on a single task efficiently for too long. So the solution is to use this technique. Invented by Francisco Carrillio after getting inspired by a kitchen equipement. There are five basic steps to implement this technique:-- 1. Decide on the task. 2. Set your timer to 35 minutes. 3. Work on the task for 35 minutes with no distractions. 4. Take a break from 3 to 5 minutes. Then move to the next task for similar ti...

  Yes, this  is a very common question asked and I would like to answer this question with a short story:-- A young boy once asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates asked the boy to meet him tomorrow morning in front of the river. Next morning when Socrates met the boy he asked him to go inside the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the boy by surprise and pushed his head into the water. The boy struggled to get out, but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, '' What did you want the most when you were there? '' The boy replied, ''Air.'' Socrates said, That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. '' There is no other secret. Learning: There are no shortcuts to success. Success is ...
