Break your study sessions into manageable objectives. Know what you want to accomplish each day to maintain motivation and direction.
3. Use Active Learning Techniques
Engage with content by taking notes, summarizing information, and teaching it to others. Active involvement strengthens retention.
4. Schedule Breaks and Practice Self-Care
