Answer 1

Find the time when you work best and use it to your advantage. Some people work best in the morning, others at night (I'm a night person). If you make sure to study in that time, you'll get a lot more done.

Take snacks and drinks with you (things like raisins are usually good and water) when you study, so you don't have to keep giving yourself an excuse to get up.

Also, take breaks after every hour. Set yourself a list of objectives, and tick them off once you've completed them - it's really satisfying knowing that you're making progress!

Group work often really helps as well, even if it's just one other person you're working with, you can bounce ideas off each other and test each other to help you remember the content easier, and generally not take it too seriously so it doesn't become a chore.

This is what I do and it seems to work!
