Study Techniques Guide
Pomodoro Technique
Study in focused 25-minute intervals followed by 5-minute breaks. After four Pomodoros, take a longer 15–30 minute break. This technique is proven to improve concentration, focus, and attentiveness while decreasing mental exhaustion.
Best for: Procrastination, focus, time management
Feynman Technique
Explain a concept in simple terms as if teaching a child. This forces you to identify gaps in your understanding. Steps: (1) Pick a topic, (2) Write everything you know, (3) Teach it to someone, (4) Review and refine.
Best for: Deep understanding, complex concepts
Spaced Repetition
Review material at increasing intervals (1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks). Research shows this dramatically improves long-term retention compared to cramming. Use flashcards or a spaced repetition app.
Best for: Memory retention, vocabulary, formulas
Time Management Matrix
Prioritise tasks using Stephen Covey's matrix:
• Urgent & Important: Do now (crises, deadlines)
• Not Urgent & Important: Schedule (study, planning)
• Urgent & Not Important: Delegate (interruptions)
• Not Urgent & Not Important: Eliminate (distractions)
Best for: Prioritisation, reducing stress
