These are 4 main principles for effective study or learning: S - spacing T - testing I - interleavingC - categorizing

STIC method

If you combine these 4 principles in study, it will be much more effective than ever ever.

<ul><li>Active recall what you've learned or simply test yourself.</li></ul>testing yourself 1 is much better than rereading multiple times.<ul><li>The more you test yourself the more you remember</li></ul>

Testing 

<ol><li>You SHOULD test yourself even before you learned some topic</li><li>Test yourself before, during and after learning the specific topic</li></ol>

How Do You Test Yourself?

<ul><li>Leave the space between your topics </li><li>You probably would forget something</li><li>But after you retrieve it, you'll remember it even more than if you don't forget</li></ul>

Spacing

<ol><li>If you want to learn somethiniyg, you should put a structure and categories for information, than just learning</li><li>It's about building a tree of knowledge</li><li>Tree of knowledge is helps you understand the subject better</li></ol>

Categorizing

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Mix the problems of what you want to learn </li><li class="ql-align-justify">It will struggle more (it should be hards and pain in the ass) </li><li class="ql-align-justify">But it will be more easier and effective in the result</li></ul>

Interleaving

The harder you gonna get to this information remembered, the longer it will stick in your brain

If you find it easy that you don't learning it at all

How to Study for Exams - The STic Framework for Effective Learning

“Find something more important than you are,” philosopher Dan Dennett once said in discussing <a href="https://www.themarginalian.org/2010/12/01/tedify-happiness/">the secret of happiness</a>, “and dedicate your life to it.”But how, exactly, do we find that?Gathered here are insights from seven thinkers who have contemplated the art-science of making your life’s calling a living.

The Secret of Happiness

"What you should not do, I think, is worry about the opinion of anyone beyond your friends. You shouldn’t worry about prestige. Prestige is the opinion of the rest of the world.Prestige is especially dangerous to the ambitious. If you want to make ambitious people waste their time on errands, the way to do it is to bait the hook with prestige. That’s the recipe for getting people to give talks, write forewords, serve on committees, be department heads, and so on. It might be a good rule simply to avoid any prestigious task. If it didn’t suck, they wouldn’t have had to make it prestigious."

Paul Graham on How to Do What You Love

"What I want to argue for is not that we should give up on our ideas of success, but that we should make sure that they are our own. We should focus in on our ideas and make sure that we own them, that we’re truly the authors of our own ambitions. Because it’s bad enough not getting what you want, but it’s even worse to have an idea of what it is you want and find out at the end of the journey that it isn’t, in fact, what you wanted all along."

"The most important thing a creative per­son can learn professionally is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not.Art suffers the moment other people start paying for it. The more you need the money, the more people will tell you what to do. The less control you will have. The more bullshit you will have to swallow. The less joy it will bring. Know this and plan accordingly."

"Work is what we do by the hour. It begins and, if possible, we do it for money. Welding car bodies on an assembly line is work; washing dishes, computing taxes, walking the rounds in a psychiatric ward, picking asparagus — these are work. Labor, on the other hand, sets its own pace. We may get paid for it, but it’s harder to quantify… Writing a poem, raising a child, developing a new calculus, resolving a neurosis, invention in all forms — these are labors."

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle."

"You will build a body of work, but you will also build a body of affection, with the people you’ve helped who’ve helped you back. This is the era of Friends in Low Places. If you can… fall in love, with the work, with people you work with, with your dreams and their dreams. Whatever it was that got you to this school, don’t let it go. Whatever kept you here, don’t let that go. Believe in your friends. Believe that what you and your friends have to say… that the way you’re saying it — is something new in the world."

<a href="https://www.holstee.com/pages/manifesto?utm_source=brainpickings&utm_medium=sidebar&utm_campaign=bp_sidebar">This is your life.</a> Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.

<ul><li>Good time management requires competence in four key areas. </li><li>Don't underestimate the toll that poor time management can take on one's career and personal relationships. </li><li>Understanding the cause of one's poor time management can help identify the tips most likely to improve it. </li> </ul>

Significance of managing time effectively

A Harvard Business Review <a href="http://hbr.org/2020/01/time-management-is-about-more-than-life-hacks">summary of the literature </a>on <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/time-management">time management </a>describes three components of the good time manager:<ul><li>Awareness: reasonably estimating how long something will take</li><li>Arrangement: listing, prioritizing, and tracking <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/motivation">goals </a>and specific tasks</li><li>Adaptation: adjusting to interruptions and changing priorities</li><li>Respect: care for the people who will be affected by yourtime management.</li></ul>

The Short-Time Guessing Game: Set the timer for two minutes. Check it when you think it’s been 30 seconds and again at 90 seconds. Repeat that until you can always get fairly close. The Longer-Time Guessing Game: For your next few activities, write your estimate of how long you think each task will take. For example: <ul><li>Drive to work: 45 minutes </li><li>Get ready to begin the first task: 15 minutes </li><li>Answer email: 20 minutes </li><li>Write the first draft of the report: 90 minutes </li> </ul>Now, log how long the tasks actually took. Keep playing that guessing game until your estimates are usually within 10 to 20 percent.

Awareness

Some of my clients have adopted my system for keeping track of to-dos. My time-sensitive to-dos (for example, client appointments) go in my week-at-a-glance calendar. Anything I want to do in the next day or two but needn’t be done at a specific time goes on a 3x3 memo cube. Both sit on my desk, and I check them often during the day. If I didn’t work at home, I’d use my phone’s Google Calendar for the time-delimited to-dos and Apple Notes for my not-time-delimited to-dos. Of course, you have to get in the habit of both writing all your to-dos and checking that list throughout the day.

Arrangement

Often, we become aware of a task that’s a higher priority than the task we’re doing. Too often, we reflexively decide to defer the higher-priority task because we want closure on the task we’re working on. Or we defer the more important task because the current one is more pleasurable. Or we get distracted by a thought or by someone. That can tempt us to take a minute to indulge the distraction. Alas, too often, the distraction lasts far longer than we realize. The goal is to consciously, not reflexively, decide whether it’s <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/wisdom">wise </a>to complete your current task before reprioritizing.

Adaptation

Time-management problems might derive from insufficient respect for the victims of their poor time management. Most people don’t intentionally disrespect their victims. Usually, they just haven’t written it on their to-do list or don’t check the list often enough. Or they enjoy trying to cram in so much before their appointments that they’re late.What helps is to put yourself in the victims’ shoes.From a pragmatic perspective, it may also help to remember that disrespect may take a toll on one’s <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/basics/career">career </a>and personal life.

Respect

Found some great insight on time-management, something that I really struggled with. 

...and suggestions for how to deal with each.
