Lectures
o Classes are 50 minutes, but most learning will only happen in
first 30
Study more is not helpful advice
Efficiency tapers off after 20-30 minutes
o After that, its just wasted time
The fix? Take breaks.
o The moment you start to slide, youre shoveling against the
tide."
o Taking a 5 minute FUN break resets the session and brings your
efficiency back up
We tend to do more of what is reinforced and rewarded
o Less of what is punished, ignored, or ineffective
Reinforce study sessions with breaks and FUN REWARDS once
the whole thing is done
o As you do this, youre training yourself to study and your
sessions can start becoming longer.
