Five tips to study smarter

1. Schedule time to study. Put aside some time in your day where you will just focus on studying and no outside distractions.
2. Clear out distractions. Hide things that will distract you from studying or split your attention.
3. Break your study time into smaller chunks. This will help you to stay focused on your task.
4. Teach others. If you teach other students how to do the thing you studied, it will help you to lock the information into your brain.
5. Test yourself on the study material. This will help you to be able to remember more volume of material and also recall it more accurately.

What can I do

In order for me to study smarter I will alter my day schedule to incorporate time for me to study. After diner I will gather my notes and homework, and I will go over them and ask myself questions about the material. I will make sure to spend at least 30 minutes a day (on the weekdays) to study and focus only on the task at hand. During this time, I will ask others to leave me alone so that I can work uninterrupted. That is what I will do to study smarter not harder.
