10 Study hacks for more effective learning

We have some friends in our friends circle who are not able to achieve the desired results even after studying a lot.

Again, there are many people who do not read as much as those friends, but at the end of the day they make a good result.

All of us are curious to know the secret of the amazing result of that friend who has good results with little studying.

The mystery is quite simple. It is better to read 3 hours with attention than to read all day without proper attention. But, what is the way to keep the attention or being focused?

In my article I'll write about effective study hacks. You don't need to study whole day, only 5 minutes effective study is enough for you. Let's go through the hacks.

1) Keep your smartphone out of your eyesight

Our today's generation is afraid to imagine a moment without mobile and gadgets.But this mobile is the biggest distraction while studying.So you have to say no to the mobile while reading.

Although it's not a tough task to stay away from mobile,today I will tell you three small hacks that will keep you away from mobile while reading. I also practice these hacks when I study.

Sit down to read in the afternoon or at a time when people are not usually online.

Keep the mobile out of reach. That is, in a place where you can't reach without raising your hand. A place where you need to get up from the study place from where you have to bring your phone.

Use the reading break wisely. When we take a break from reading, we usually take the mobile phone in hand first. This thing can't be done.Drink water or walk inside your room,but dont touch the phone.

2) Taking breaks frequently when learning something new or complicated

Taking a break in the middle, learnings last more in the reading memory than studying continuously.The process of reading with a break in the middle of studying is called spaced repetition system.

This trick can be used to reduce the risk of forgetting what you've studied.And a little sleep during the break will increase the durability of reading times.

3) A smart study place,full of light and air,away from any kind of distractions

The place where you are studying plays an important role in keeping you focused. Place your reading table in a quiet, secluded and clean place in your home or on a bed by the window!

The place should be where you are accustomed to go so that the attention goes as soon as you go there. Don't forget the light.So, find a nice place to read today.

4) Share your learning insights with someone

Say you've learn something new today. Now try to discuss it with your friends. If you don't have any friends than talk with you. If you can express your learning your learning fluently that means you've learned it perfectly.

So from now on, whatever you learn on your own, you will try to teach it to others. Only then will learning be more lasting and effective.

5) Keeping a water bottle beside when studying

We have been hearing the sentence from childhood. "Drink water more and more." We are very accustomed to hear this advice.

The role of this water is also very important to keep the attention stable. Drinking a glass of water every time we sit down to read increases the efficiency of our brain. It is scientifically proven information not my opinion.

6) Highlighting new things or keeping notes

Whenever you come across an important word, sentence or information especially when learning English vocabulary while reading, always mark it with highlighter or other colored ink and it will work during revision.

Any new important information can be added to the book by highlighting pen or note by writing on a sticky note. If the amount of information is more, it can be written in a book or note with a pen of another color.

These sticky notes, highlighted points and other important points written in the notebook will be the first thing that comes to mind during revision. This will make it easier to revise just before the exam.

7) Practice real life application

When you learn something, you have to try to put it into real life practice. This will increase both knowledge and skills. If you read a new book or watch a movie, try to write a review.
Then you you'll increase the ability to explain to everyone what you understand or learn. If you learn a software skill, you have to put it into practice. You have to learn how to teach others what you have learned.

8) Don't fall in the trap of "Procastination"

“Procrastination” is one of the major obstacle of effective study. Given a lot of time, most of us will sit down to read the night before the exam. You will sit down to write a research paper just a few hours before the submission. Our biggest problem is regaining consciousness at the very last moment. You can't do that!

It is important to make a habit of setting these deadlines and goals even in general studies or work. Because by doing this, the urge to finish work or study will work in us. By setting these short, short-term deadlines and goals and following them, we will develop the habit of working on time.

9) Exercising before studying or during study breaks

If you do a little light exercise before sitting down to read, you will feel much fresher while reading.You can also take a bath. If you are not interested in exercise, you can also take a walk around the house. If you sit down to read with a cheerful and fresh mind, you will remember that reading more.

10) Again try to relate with the real life elements

Increase learning efficiency by practical application of knowledge. Therefore, the knowledge of science, which can be applied practically this should be applied hand-in-hand and should be learned through experimentation.

Use these techniques to increase concentration and make learning faster and more effective.

I can assure you, you will not have any attention issue from now on. Just follow these instructions.

I personally follow these techniques and get better result.

Remember one thing, you need to study only one hour effectively. It is five times better than studying whole day ineffectively.
