Consider finding learning techniques that yield the maximum amount of learning in the minimum amount of time, learning at absolutely peak efficiency. Take ten extra minutes to learn it now, instead of thirty minutes it will take to learn it later. Next, let's talk about how to learn it now. The first topic to consider is the learning environment, where you study, where you practice the craft of learning. It is not possible to reach this ideal over a study period of more than an hour or so.
Fatigue sets in.
Next our attention must go to those things that would flatten the learning curve over which you can exercise some control. First is radio. When you stop to analyze the minutes per hour a student's attention may be distracted from learning by response to music, DJ chatter, commercials, and perhaps news, radio is clearly a most criminal time bandit and the most easily corrected. Next are learning techniques. Your notebook should be divided, with half a page, or facing pages, left to revise, condense, and summarize the notes taken in class, or to express them more precisely.
