1.

Break your studying down into chunked sessions - your ability to study dimini
shes after 25-30 minutes, so take breaks at these points to restore your effecti
veness. 2. Create a dedicated study area - the context provided by your environm
ent largely will determine your behavior, so design your study area to encourage
actual studying. 3. Study actively - there's a difference between actual recoll
ection and simple recognition (I thought this was possibly the best point he mad
e in the lecture). Recognition requires a cue or trigger, and you don't get that
in a test. So study by quizzing yourself instead of just looking over highlight
ed sections of your book or notes. 4. Take smart notes in class - expand on them
ASAP after class to boost your initial learning. 5. Summarize or teach what you
learn - It'll help you pinpoint gaps in your understanding because you're unabl
e to gloss over things. 6. Use your textbook effectively - use the SQ3R Method (
Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review). Honestly I think trying to stick to the
system is cumbersome but using individual parts of it as needed is effective. 7
. Use mnemonics to study facts - acronyms, coined sayings, and image association
s can help you remember information easier than rote studying. Also, one other t
hing he said that really stuck out to me: "If it doesn't change your behavior, y
ou haven't learned it." Anyway, there's a 6-minute summary video on my channel w
ith links to my full notes if you don't have the time for the whole lecture - bu
t I do think it's a fantastic lecture to watch if you do have the time. I put it
at 1.5x speed and it was still easy to follow.?
