2. Take the right amount of breaks.

I will tell you two approaches for this, here is the 1st one:

  • You can decide and customize the breaks you take according to how you study.
  • You can study and divide your time in blocks of say, an hour or 45 minutes.
  • After each of these blocks, take a break.

And, the 2nd approach would be this:

  • First set goals for yourself in terms of chapters, or topics, or number of questions to be answered.
  • Once you reach that goal, you can take a break.
  • Take these few minutes of the break to stretch your feet and to refresh yourself.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
