😫 Are you working ‘hard’?
“I studied for hours before this exam! Why didn’t I do well?” -Every Engg student ever
We all grown up hearing that hard work is the key to success. While this is undoubtedly true in many situations, it can be misleading when it comes to studying. Research has repeatedly shown that the amount of time spent studying does not necessarily equate to better outcomes. In other words, it’s not just important to study hard, but also to study smart.
Studying smart means understanding how our brains work, identifying the most effective ways to process and retain information, and developing personalized study techniques that work for us. It involves being intentional and focused, avoiding distractions, and utilizing resources like technology and study groups to enhance our learning.
In today's fast-paced world, where competition is fierce, the ability to study smart is more critical than ever. Not only does it increase our chances of academic success, but it also helps us develop valuable skills like time management, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
