Work in 25-50 minute blocks with short breaks to keep concentration high.
Explaining a topic aloud exposes gaps in your understanding.
Silence notifications and keep your phone in another room.
Measure effort using the Study Hours Calculator.
Memory consolidates during sleep, so protect your rest.
Interleaving topics improves long-term retention.
