So, here are some study tips from Brainology which can improve our work habits:
1) First there's chunking, or grouping, which seems to work well for me. Grouping is when you take the first letter of each word you need to memorize, then mix them around until a mnemonic is created. This will help you to remember things from a list of almost any length.
2) Make sure you pay close attention to everything you want to remember, because information cannot reach long-term memory unless it goes to working memory first!
3) It's a mnemonic itself, and gives five helpful tips when it comes to studying:
B reak it dowm
R epetition
A ctive Learning
I nformation Search
N ever give up
4) Finally, research shows that constant studying won't even be as effective if you don't have a growth mindset. People with a growth mindset believe that they can develope their brain, abilities, and talent. However, a person with a fixed mindset believe their basic qualities, such as intelligence and abilities are fixed, and can no longer be developed. The elements of a true growth mindset are the following:
A person.............
embraces challenges
persists in the face of setbacks
sees effort as the path to mastery
learns form criticism
finds lessons and inspiration in the success of others...............
AS A RESULT, THESE PEOPLE REACH EVER-HIGHER LEVELS OF ACHIEVEMENT
This is SO informative. Even if someone didn't know the brainology program, they would find tips for success just by reading your blog!
