How to start studying well. - Farton - 14.04.2022
In his new book When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, author Daniel Pink provides a wealth of advice on time management from a biological, psychological, and even economic point of view. Among them, there are several very specific recommendations that can help in your studies. In particular, Pink advises taking into account circadian rhythms when planning the load.
Circadian rhythms affect not only our sleep, but also mood and concentration, which cycle through the day. On average, seven hours after waking up, concentration and mood reach their lowest point, after which they begin to increase again (which is why many life coaches advise not to postpone important tasks and start them in the first hours after waking up). It is with our circadian rhythms, in particular, that the fact that the likelihood of errors at work (for example, in medical institutions) increases in the period from 2 to 16 hours is associated.
Of course, students do not need to get up early every day, and at the same time, but understanding their chronotype and circadian rhythms can be used to the benefit of their studies. For example, the most difficult tasks (like preparing for exams or a seminar) should be planned for the first two or three hours after waking up - realizing that in the following hours the concentration will inevitably decrease (we will talk about what to do with this “unproductive” time below) .
Before the deadline
Of course, the most acute shortage of time is felt on the eve of exams. By the way, "pull to the last" is not just a habit of negligent students, in fact, this behavior is typical for most of us. One example that Pink cites in his book is a study by scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, who showed that most of the groups of subjects during the experiments do nothing (or almost nothing) for at least the first half of the time until the deadline, and only then get to work.
To avoid the “burning train” effect, scientists advise setting intermediate goals and using the “chain movement” technique: every day during which you spent time preparing for the exam (doing a laboratory, writing a term paper), mark with some symbol. A chain of such symbols in the calendar will become an additional motivator to not quit what you started and reach the deadline without “gaps” and emergency work. Of course, the calendar will not sit you down for notes and will not turn off social networks, but it will serve as an "irritant" and a reminder - sometimes this can be very useful.
Need more water
Another fairly common advice is to not overdo caffeine while still drinking enough water. This recommendation has a well-founded scientific confirmation - research in this area has been going on for a long time. So, for example, in the course of one of the experiments (a scientific publication based on its results was published back in 1988), it was shown that even slight dehydration (1-2%) can cause a drop in cognitive abilities. The study, in particular, noted the deterioration of short-term memory and the ability to solve arithmetic problems.
And the authors of a later publication in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition state that “dehydration is a prerequisite for cognitive decline.” Therefore, in order not to lose focus while studying, monitor your well-being and do not tolerate thirst - especially if you are actively training in addition to classes.

It would be much easier if online digital marketing assignment help were provided right on campus in the learning environment, where students could clarify the necessary information outside of class time if questions remain unclear. In the meantime, they haven’t done this, the guys turn to the service for writing papers, because they don’t understand how they can write papers on legal law on their own. The service, by the way, is very good, there are many good authors here. And the quality of work is top notch.
