Task: Studying 100 pages of a book. Why don’t you aim for 500 pages of that book?

Create a dedicated study area
back in 2014, I (the author) had university entry exam (Kankor), it was extremely solid and tough, but praise to God, I scored 325 out of 350 marks.
How I did it? I used to study 8 to 10 hours in library not home, not my room or anywhere else because we are controlled by the environment we surround ourselves with. I choose to study in library because:
- I was spending like 5$ to get to there.
- Everyone was watching me.
- I wasn’t able to watch videos on YouTube, use social medias stuff out there.
- I couldn’t go outdoor and take 1 or 2 hours of break.
