Group/Team Study

If you have friends especially close friends that distract, then you don’t need the group reading or study.
Pomodoro Technique
In this type of reading, you need to study for 25 minutes with 5 minute breaks in-between each study session. After 4 cycles of 25 minute studies, take a longer 30-minute break.
Turn on Lights
Turn on all your lamps, room lights, open windows, and whatever else you can think of to get more light. It makes our brain wake up even more and retain our focus for a longer period of time.
If you’re studying during the night, this will trick your brain into thinking it is still day outside and you won’t get tired. Turning on lights while reading energizes the brain.
Teach what you know best
Teaching what you know helps to boost the brain and retain information effectively. Or If you don’t want to do any of this, at least read your notes out loud. Your memory works better when your brain hears information compared to reading it in your head.
