Prioritize your schedule: take up difficult topics early in the day<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take up the difficult material in the forenoon when you\u2019re at your best, energy-wise. (For most people this is the time when they\u2019re most productive. If somehow you\u2019re an exception to this, feel free to take up the difficult material at a time that works for you.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">2. Exercise<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as academics are concerned, physical exercise boosts learning ability and long-term memory, and controls anxiety and depression. But the benefits of exercise go beyond: it also improves concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">3. Steal a nap<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To quote John Medina, a leading authority on brain study and founding director of two brain research institutes, from his book Brain Rules: People vary in how much sleep they need and when they prefer to get it, but the biological drive for an afternoon nap is universal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">4. Eat to maintain energy levels<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your brain constitutes just 2 percent of your body weight, it guzzles 20 percent of your daily energy intake. Studies have shown that non-pleasurable mentally exhausting tasks \u2013 academic learning will fall into this category for most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">5. Conserve your mental energy<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because your brain is an energy guzzler (2 percent vs. 20 percent), it\u2019s important not to dissipate your energy by letting your mind wander into debilitating, irrelevant thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">6. Take regular breaks<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should take breaks for two reasons. It not only relaxes you, but it also restores your waning concentration. Your concentration starts dropping after 50 minutes or so, and if you keep powering your way through, you\u2019ll be studying with lesser concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">7. If possible, study\/ work in daylight<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, this may be a luxury that most likely you can\u2019t afford, but if you can, then read on. Research has shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wordscoach.com\/blog\/category\/study\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">studying<\/a>\/ working in daylight makes you less drowsy, and more alert in the afternoon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">8.
