I’ve been trying to squeeze more study time into my week without feeling overwhelmed. Has anyone found a method that helps them absorb material faster? I started using the Pomodoro technique but feel like I could be using those breaks more wisely. Looking for any little hacks you might have.
Have you tried using flashcards during your breaks? It’s like turning your downtime into a mini quiz game, which can refresh your memory without feeling too intense. Just be careful not to mix those cards with your snack breaks — might get a bit crunchy.
I totally get trying to maximize those study sessions — one thing that helped me was using a digital app like Quizlet to create quick, bite-sized quizzes on the material. You could even do a couple of these during your breaks to keep your brain engaged without feeling overwhelmed.
