The Top Study Habits to Improve Learning by Huberman
Top students:
- Study 3–4 hours per day
- Schedule time to study
- Study alone
- Put away phones and tell people they won’t be reached
- Teach other students ("watch one, do one, teach one")
Keeping a regular study schedule helps the brain learn the skill of focus
==Motivation of top-performing students seem to have long-arcs (e.g., implications on family, life, etc.)
==Effort is the cornerstone of learning; studying that feels challenging is the most effective
Testing is one of the best ways to build our knowledge and offset forgetting (i.e., Anki is great)
For when the best time of day is to study, see Ultradian cycles (Huberman)
