(Notes for myself)<br><br>1.Set up a work system that allows you to track and complete work in a timely manner (sticky notes, calendar app, etc)<br><br>2. Study Homework, use your assignments as review. You'll perform better if you take the time to learn from them.<br><br>3. Two-step method -- Blurt & Revise<br>T ake a pause---do I understand? What did I just read? Can I explain it in simpler terms/my own words? Then explain it in those words. If you fail to do so, reread and try again.<br><br>Effective learning= understanding and retrieval<br><br><br>Utilize a program that uses spaced- repetition (ex. Anki)<br><br>4. Build a study routine. Don't try to wait for or set up the perfect conditions. Build a habit and DO IT. Better to do it imperfectly then never do it at all. Integrate this into your daily routine <br><br>5. Write things down, including things that aren't in the textbook or notes. Information from your professor is valuable, even if not included in PowerPoints, textbooks, or any study material. <br><br>6. Enjoy studying. There's pleasure to be found in the process of learning. It's hard to keep doing something that you hate.<br><br>(If you're reading this comment: did you watch the video? These are just the main points, but you'll get a lot more value from the actual video.)

1. Create a work system (Tracking assignments / tasks)<br>- helps with task management and finish assignments early<br>2. Use your assignments as a way to learn/review the material<br>- most of the time professors use questions from assignments on the exams<br>3. two-step method <br>- Do I remember what I just read ?<br>- Can I paraphrase or summarize it ?<br>- What do I understand from this ?<br>- Remember to review the information so you don't forget it !<br>4. Build a study routine<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgdUXW8zTSc&t=629">10:29</a> this is the routine he uses<br>5. write stuff that isn't written in the material (AKA what prof says, pay attention to what the prof says!!)<br>6. Find the joy in studying
