"Do not study if you are tired, angry, distracted, or in a hurry. When the brain is relaxed, it is like a sponge and it naturally absorbs data without effort. If you are emotionally stressed, your brain literally repels data. Forcing yourself to sit and study when your mind is on other things is a complete waste of time! "

"I study the same time everyday. Don't cram everything in the last minute. I know carrying heavy books home every night gets to be a pain. So instead, keep a notebook for every class. Write down information given in class. If you miss anything raise your hand and ask, or catch up with you teacher after class. Compare notes with friends. They might have gotten some information you didn't. Highlight things you are having trouble with and make flashcards. Good luck!!!"

"I have a study time table which holds materials for 1 or 2 subjects. I study each for an hour or an hour and a half. This helps me because I don't have to strain myself reading a subject for long hours and ending up losing concerntration. Rather, I pick up small amounts of information per day, which will stick in my mind."

"I have a certain action that I do the moment I start studying. I place a sheet of paper and a pencil right in front of me. This signals my brain to increase concentration levels and pay attention. You can use your own action every time."

"One of my biggest problems is that I have too much stuff on my desk. This takes away work space and makes it harder for me to find the things I need. Here's a couple of simple ideas that work for me. Get rid of the pens and pencils you don't need to work. One time I counted 14 sitting all over my desk. Don't keep things like your keys and loose change on your desk. Stick them in a drawer."
