How to study quickly and focus

Organizing study time

Setting fixed times for study within a weekly schedule, and adhering to them, helps focus and academic achievement, so that study periods do not exceed 50 minutes without a break, as studying for short periods and effectively is better than studying for long periods without any achievement or achievement, because the student is tired during them. In addition to the importance of choosing the time when the student is most focused and active, some students’ effectiveness may increase in the morning, while others prefer the evening periods to study. The student can also take advantage of short times to study, such as the time he spends on the bus, or in the car while on the road. To university, these times are ideal for reviewing notes or study cards.

Maintain the study environment

It is necessary to choose a place designated for study only, use appropriate lighting, while ensuring that there is a high level of enthusiasm and positivity for studying, identifying distractions, and trying to reduce them, or postpone them until the break time, while paying attention to reducing sounds and noise in the study place.

Use focus techniques

There are many techniques that help increase concentration while studying, including:

• Active study: This technique is based on sitting upright at the study table, then asking questions about the material that the person is studying, summarizing the chapters, and underlining the important information after reading each section of the material, in addition to writing notes in the margins of the book, then reviewing the studied material to ensure that it is correct. Understand it.
• Division of the study material: It is recommended to divide the material that must be studied into small tasks to manage it easier and to complete it in a shorter time, as the student studies each section separately and focuses more on it before moving on to the other section.

Sleep and diet

Successful study is not complete without a healthy routine. Studying intensively requires at least 7 hours of sleep a day, in addition to ensuring that you follow a healthy diet consisting of 3-5 meals a day that contain fat-free and healthy foods. Supplements can also be used. Food also maintains the strength and energy needed to study.
