Your Favorite / Most effective Study Habits?

[astroboulders]

Hello

After basically divorcing academics during COVID, I'm in my senior year of my physics undergrad and working to redevelop the interest I had. I thought I'd see what others are doing to succeed in learning. What things help you most with retention, comprehension, and enjoying study?

One of mine is naps. If I feel exhausted, fried, or stuck, I often find a couch or hunch over my desk and aim for 15-30 min of sweet unconsciousness. I seem to wake up feeling either creatively invigorated or clearheaded and logical, and either way refreshed for more learning.

What are some of your favorite study habits that prime your brain to learn?

The napping discussion is interesting. I had at times placed sleep between study sessions giving as little time to any other activity as possible. Like, study for some time at night, go to sleep, and upon wakeup IMMEDIATELY review or continue study. The mind must do something for you/itself while you sleep.
