3 Tips to Maximize Long Study Sessions

• 1) Make it easier to focus:
  • Use white noise in headphones.
  • Sit facing the wall or use screens (physical screens, like cardboard sheets to block from stimulating environment)
  • Hide phone, exit social apps, turn off notifications.
• 2) Use Layering - read fast and lazily skipping everything too complicated, looking for key words; then read second time adding details, building up.
• 3) Save your focus and mental fuel - monitor your level of concentration and when it starts to fall do active rest or simpler tasks.
