HOW TO LEARN EFFECTIVELY?

1. Create a study plan

Creating a learning plan will help you organize your to-do tasks and prioritize them. It is very important to plan study time and breaks.

2. Find a suitable place to study

Always try to study in the same place so that nothing distracts you. Take care of the atmosphere in the room, make the room aired and bright. Do not study in a place that you associate with rest. Study at a desk, not in bed, as you will start to get distracted and start being sleepy.

3. Try the most popular learning methods

You will find many good learning methods on the internet. Everyone will find something for themselves, but you have to try a little bit of everything to find the perfect method for you. One of the most popular methods is making notes, where you learn by rewriting and transforming the content and then reading them. In such notes, you can highlight the most important information, which will help visual learners learn. For visual learners, learning can also be simplified by colorful mind maps and diagrams. Colorful pictures stimulate our imagination so that we can remember something through associations. Flashcards are another method, most people like it, because thanks to it we can quickly learn words in a foreign language.

4. Focus

Avoid multitasking, focus on one task, and don't start the next one until you've finished the current one. Eliminate everything that distracts you, turn off the phone, TV, eat yourself so that nothing distracts you completely.

5. Use the learning apps

Use the learning applications, thanks to them you will save your time and energy. One such application is Quizlet. The application allows you to create learning sets. Most often it is used for language learning when we need to learn words or when we need to learn definitions. Quizlet allows us to create flashcards or use sets from other users. Thanks to this application, we can save time instead of making traditional flashcards on cards

Fun fact - the Pomodoro technique

The pomodoro technique is about learning with short breaks. At the beginning, we make a list of to-do tasks and organize them in the appropriate hierarchy. Then set the timer to 25 minutes and perform the task until the timer sounds. We take a 5-minute break for something to eat or drink. If we managed to complete the task, mark it off on the list of to-do tasks, if we do not, continue it after the break. After 4 series of 25 minutes, we take a longer break for 30 minutes. We can also use the Pomodoro application as a timer.
