Effective learning frameworks and approaches
A human can usually keep focused and actively studying for about 20-30 minutes in one sitting. Interestingly though, it just take a 5 minute break to regain the focus necessary.
In a break, it's better to do something enjoyable, take to a friend, listen to music, etc.

Using a library, studying room, office,... will help the brain to focus. One of the most difficult things to do is to just start. Getting in a place that is meant only for studying will help a lot. Also avoid studying in the bedroom, being in the bed makes it harder to resist sleeping.
Assign a lamp to be switched on whenever you want to study, this will help teach your brain to focus whenever the lamp is on (remember the lamp must be switched off at breaks, and never be used for something other than studying)

The more active you are in your learning, the more effective. The way to learn effectively is first you have to decide what you are learning: facts or concepts? Understanding the name of a bone is a fact, but understanding what it does in the body is a concept.
