Spacing and Planning
A calendar beats a marathon session.
5 min read
Space, do not stack
Four twenty-minute sessions across four days beat one eighty-minute session. Same time invested, substantially more retained.
A simple schedule
Review new material the same day, again after two days, again after a week, and once more before the assessment. Four short passes is usually enough.
Protecting the plan
Write sessions into a calendar with a subject and a specific task ("retrieve chapter 3 headings"), not a vague intention ("study biology"). Specific tasks get done.
