Key Wellness Strategies, Self-Care Techniques, and Productivity Tips for Effective Self-Study
Control Phone Usage
- Turn off WhatsApp, Instagram, and other social media notifications while studying.
- Use the phone only for study-related purposes such as notes and lectures.
Prioritize Revision
- Revision is the key factor that toppers emphasize, not just studying from books or courses.
- Revise multiple times (4-5 times) to benefit fully.
Start with Questions
- Before reading a chapter, review previous years’ questions related to it.
- Keep those questions in mind while revising to enhance focus and retention.
Avoid Superficial Reading
- Do not just skim through the material or underline superficially.
- Use a pen to make a revision copy by writing down what you understood in your own words.
- Create drawings, charts, or diagrams to break down and understand difficult concepts.
Active Self-Teaching
- After studying, teach yourself what you have learned by writing without looking at the material.
- This reinforces memory and understanding.
Combine Study with Practice
- Watching lectures or videos alone is insufficient.
- After every 2 hours of watching lectures, spend at least 1 hour doing self-study and practicing on your own.
Start-Pause Technique
- While watching lectures, pause every 25-30 minutes for 5 minutes.
- Reflect on what you have learned and ask yourself questions to maintain focus.
Focus on Dedication, Not Time
- Don’t study by watching the clock.
- Instead, study until you have used up half the ink in your pen (symbolizing effort and completion).
Mix and Connect Topics
- Study related or similar topics together to build connections and improve understanding.
- Relate characters, concepts, or examples to familiar people or things to aid memory.
Use Physical Books and Handwritten Notes
- Physical interaction with books and notes aids visualization and memory.
- Avoid relying solely on PDFs or repeated video lectures.
Keep Study Material Simple and Focused
- Primarily study from NCERT or your board’s prescribed textbooks.
- Focus on previous year questions (PYQs), as about 80% of exam questions come from them.
- Use official board resources like CBSE’s practice manuals and sample papers available online for free.
Seek Help When Needed
- Don’t hesitate to ask doubts or seek guidance from teachers or mentors.
