How To Learn

How to Learn More in Less Time

General Tips

  • Start with the subject or topic you find most challenging. Overcoming the hardest part first will boost your confidence for the rest.
  • If you don’t understand a lesson clearly, ask your teacher or peers for help without delay. Unresolved doubts can create bigger obstacles later on.
  • To ensure deep understanding, try these methods:
    • Explain the lesson aloud as if teaching someone else. Can you make it clear and simple?
    • Quiz yourself honestly by asking questions and answering them without looking at notes.
  • Take breaks when you feel tired. A short walk, chatting with a friend, or a quick refresh will help you return focused and energized.
  • Exercise daily to keep your body healthy and mind sharp.
  • Maintain regular, sufficient sleep. Skipping rest to study will only reduce your efficiency and retention.
  • Lastly, seek strength and motivation through prayer or meditation to stay calm and positive in your studies.

Specific Tips

  • Never skip lessons or homework assignments. Missing these is like missing a train—you can’t catch up easily later.
  • Review and revise the material covered in class regularly to ensure clarity and long-term retention.
  • Maintain a diary or planner to track your homework and upcoming assignments diligently.
  • If you have to memorize something, study it overnight and review it the next morning for better recall.
  • Do your homework neatly, date your work, and always begin new assignments on a fresh page for better organization.
  • As you grow older, create a daily timetable prioritizing subjects by difficulty, tackling the hardest first. Balance study time with breaks and recreation to build effective habits.
  • At the end of each week, review everything you learned to reinforce concepts and identify any gaps.
