How Can I Trick My Brain Into Studying?

Are you easily distracted when learning? Or do you have difficulty concentrating? 

You can trick your brain into studying by several means: breaking materials down into smaller tasks, making study timetables, taking smart breaks, and using your mind’s eye to read, among other ways.  

Don’t fret; these are all common challenges you face while trying to remember things during the learning process, especially if you are a student. 

This article unveils seven proven methods that will trick your brain into studying and transform you into an A+ student. Are you ready to be the Einstein of your time? Read on. 

Break down the big study tasks into smaller tasks 

You must first define the subject or material you want to study. Then divide the material into smaller bits and give each a time frame for completion. It’s that easy. 

When you look at a topic first-hand, it seems like a piece of cake, but it isn’t. Biology is never just about the study of life. There are several topics to be considered. 

All of which are further subdivided, over and over, until you have a thousand things to study just under biology. This division, however, makes the course easier to commit to memory.

Why is it easier to study in smaller bits? 

Here is the thing about learning the smaller bits of notes you didn’t know—they give the illusion that you’ve done a lot. Which in some cases might be true, but in other cases, not so much. 

The human brain can easily be fooled. So here is what you do. List out the subtopics with a strict time frame and tick the box once you’re done with each one. 

Felt that adrenaline rush? Yes, that’s it. The more you tick, the more you want to go on. That’s the brain for you. 

Writing each topic with its subtopics on post-it notes helps, too.
