The afternoon or the night?

This is a personal decision, but in any case, you can:

• Choose hours that aren’t close to meals. You could end up giving up in the middle of the digestive process.
• Try to study at the same time every day. This creates a permanent work habit that lets you better organize your leisure time and your breaks.
• Study during the times you feel you are more efficient.

► Lastly, consider:

• “What’s studied during the final hours of the afternoon and night is learned slower, but is remembered better”. In contrast, what’s studied in the morning is learned faster but forgotten easier.
• We also need to alternate study breaks, and it’s better to always study at the same times of day and to have breaks at the same times as well. This creates a habit.
• You shouldn’t study immediately after class, doing sports, etc.
• You shouldn’t start with the most difficult subjects, but rather with those of medium or low difficulty (try to avoid the lack of motivation when studying the hardest subjects, or the lower concentration at the beginning). Then, go to the more difficult subjects, and finish with one that you like better.
