Six (6) Ways To Study Effectively
It’s safe to say that there isn’t a student in the world
that hasn’t had to grapple with studying. For most,
studying is almost a form of punishment they have
to endure. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel
agency shares 6 smart ways to help you study
without it feeling like some cruel and unusual form
of punishment.
Be Mindful of How You Approach Studying
Researchers have found that ‘how’ you approach
something matters almost as much as what you do.
Having the right mindset is important in helping you
study smarter and more effectively. Too many people
see studying as a task or some form of punishment
rather than an opportunity to learn and better
themselves. You can think of it this way: people say
intelligence is sexy right? Well studying is one of
the easiest ways to build that intelligence.
Be Mindful of Where You Study
Avoid studying in a place that isn’t conducive or is
too distracting for you. Some people can study with
music and some need absolute quiet. Understand
the environment conducive for you and opt for such
environments when you study.
Bring Along Only What You Need to Study
When you find an ideal and conducive place to
study, please refrain from bringing along things you
don’t need. This is because those things can be a
distraction to you. Also be sure to bring along
everything you need to study to avoid wasting time
going back and forth because you forgot one thing
or the other.
Have a Game Plan
This involves understanding what you have to study
(in terms of quantity and complexity) and executing
a game plan to help you cover all you have to study
adequately and in good time, without giving yourself
a headache trying to cram it all the night before.
Try Employing Different Study Methods
This is mainly to make the study process more
interesting for you. However, if you’re comfortable
with using one study method alone, then please do
so. You can try using flashcards, mnemonic devices,
rewriting your notes, jotting down study points,
taking practice exams or doing past questions,
studying with study partners or even creating a
study game as some of the study methods you can
employ.
Take Breaks
Taking breaks is just as important as studying, only
be careful not to overdo it or be too excessive with
it. The mind works better when you take breaks
every half an hour to an hour. It will help you absorb
the information and decompress to help your mind
feel free for more studying. Studying for hours
unending can give you a headache or make you
sleep off. You can take breaks by moving around,
eating, rewarding yourself by watching a short video
or talking to study partners.
