I don’t usually point out spelling errors but I’m enjoying the casual irony

I don’t see the manic-panic-cram it technique listed here.

A bit dated descriptions FYI. The Flashcards should follow time based boxes and Pomodoro technique shouldn’t be time based but goal based - interrupting mid chapter is worse than not taking a break.

That being said both flashcards and pomodoro breaks are still some of the best control techniques when done correctly! Been working remotely for almost 20 years now - tried everything :)

Another strategy: don’t write notes during class. Actually listen super intently to the instructor, and always ask questions when something isn’t clear. Sit near the front. Notetaking can be a distraction, even though it might feel productive at the time. It’s mentally exhausting if you’re in classes back to back, but I found that really intently focusing on what they’re saying and realizing when you get lost helps a ton. Because once you get lost, the rest of the lesson becomes a lot less helpful and you have to spend time studying by yourself or in a group later without the ingrained context of the rest of the subject when it was originally presented.

Obviously doesn’t work if the instructor is bad at teaching or you’re in a really huge class.

Last time I tried the Feynman technique I was escorted from the building for impersonating a professor.

Seriously though, back in college I used the Leitner system until I was comfortable enough with the info that I could explain it in layman’s terms. Though back in the day I just called the Feynman technique the rubber duck method thanks to my brother who was in IT and actually got everyone rubber ducks one year as a gag stocking stuffer.

I use a combination of all of these and Anki-fy whatever makes sense to do so.
