The meaningfulness of material is more important in memory development than the memorization of nonsense or unrelated words, regardless of the claims memory trainers have made. You cannot recall something you haven't taken notice of. Both external and internal conditions affect study habits. Among the external factors that affect learning is the physical location of the study area. We learn best when we have a specific location in an area where external distraction is eliminated.
Concentration is essential, if it becomes difficult to concentrate, leave the designated study area.
Taking a five minute break every half-hour can improve concentration and makes learning easier. Hypnosis is a wonderful way to block out the unavoidable external distractions. Internally, a lack of time management skills creates an unnecessary drain on energy and emotions, adversely affecting the learning process. Hypnosis can help program such procedures into a learner, often producing amazing results. The five minute breaks at half hour intervals, then may be coordinated with subject matter under study, so as to be taken at the conclusion of a segment, with a new and fresh segment ot begin after the break - to keep the study new and interesting.
