Over-highlighting tricks your brain into thinking you've learned something. Fix this by summarizing key points in your own words instead.
Studying in Bed
Your brain associates bed with sleep, reducing focus. Fix this by designating a specific study area away from your bedroom.
Relying on Multitasking
Multitasking reduces productivity by up to 40%. Fix this by focusing on one task at a time, using the Pomodoro technique for time management.
Not Taking Break
The brain loses concentration after 25-30 minutes. Fix this by taking short breaks every 30 minutes to recharge your mental energy.
Passive Re-reading
Re-reading material without active engagement doesn't aid long-term memory. Fix this by asking yourself questions or teaching the material to someone else.
