So much to learn, so little time! Don't you just feel the same? I mean, just LOOK at all the stuff on this forum! :grumpy:

Cosmobrain said:Trust me, that doesn't work. You aren't actually learning or understand things that way. You just think you know because that is psychologically satisfying for your brain. I say that from experience.I used to leave youtube videos about science playing in the background while I did other stuff, so I would learn not in a conscious way.

Each of those particular details of a topic I can teach cold.
Cosmobrain said:I still say it is better to study these topics better
Greg Bernhardt said:lendav_rott is right. Don't look too far ahead. Focus on learning what is in front of you. After awhile you'll be surprised how much you've built up.

Some effective time management strategies for learning include setting specific goals, breaking down tasks into smaller chunks, prioritizing tasks, eliminating distractions, and taking breaks to avoid burnout.
To make the most of your study time, it is important to have a study schedule, eliminate distractions, create a conducive study environment, take effective notes, and actively engage with the material by practicing and testing yourself.
To stay motivated while learning, it is important to have a clear purpose and goal in mind, reward yourself for progress made, surround yourself with motivated and supportive individuals, and take breaks to avoid burnout.
Some effective study techniques for retaining information include breaking down information into smaller chunks, using mnemonic devices, practicing active recall, and spacing out study sessions over time.
To balance learning with other responsibilities, it is important to prioritize tasks, set realistic goals and expectations, use effective time management strategies, and communicate openly with others about your commitments and limitations.
