Use two notebooks when taking class notes (one for in class and one for at home) the one for class, make it messy with footnotes and subtext. the one at home, make it neat (these are the ones to study off of; easy to read and short)

Quizlets or kahoots

Write down your plans for the week

Put effort in your projects (trust me, it’s worth the time)

Make school life feel cliche and try to romanticize things (it works)

When you’re studying, rewrite your notes to match your own words

Relate the information to yourself and your life. If you have chalk, draw math formulas on pavement, match your physics to life situations, randomly say history facts when relevant

Study in shorter intervals and take a decent amount of breaks (ie, 30 minutes spent studying with a 15 minute break; don’t go on the internet during that break)

Have a routine. study for a period of time in the morning or study before bed (do this every day; even on the weekends)

Stay hydrated; drink water or tea (not to much coffee)

Conclusion

While you are leaning things you need to think about them and examine them from many sides. By connecting them in many ways with what you already know…. you can later retrieve them in unusual situations. It took me a long time to realize that each time I learned something I should put “hooks” on it. This is another face of the extra effort, the studying more deeply, the going the extra mile, that seems to be characteristic of great scientists.
