Study in short chunks
Try setting aside 30 minutes before or after work to dedicate to your study
Get in the zone
Create the ideal study space, and gather all the books and items you will need.
Sleep well and exercise
It also pays to stay hydrated and get up to move in between your 30-minute sessions.
Write flash cards

Connect the dots
Learning to make connections when you consume information pays dividends.
Set goals
Make a list of study goals and tick them off when you complete them.
Test yourself
Practice tests are a good way to see where you’re at, and where you might need to focus
Aim to teach it

Lose the screen
