2. The presentation was made for project MENS SANA IN CORPORE SANO “Let’s find the balance”

3. Learning to learn

4. A bad learner? Do you have hard times with learning?

5. Find a good study spot You should feel comfortable and the place where you study should be relatively quiet.

6. If you’ve got a lot on your mind take a moment to write yourself some notes about what you're thinking about before you start studying.

7. Manage your time Make a weekly schedule and devote a certain amount of time per day to studying.

8. Study in 20-50 minute chunks Take 5-10 minute breaks minimum and do something physically active to get your blood flowing and make you more alert.

9. If you are easily distracted by social networking sites such as YouTube, Facebook …download an application which blocks the distracting sites on your computer while you are studying.

10. Make things interesting Try to find the beauty of every subject, and most importantly try to link it with the events of your life and things that interest you.

11. Make associations Another great way to become a more effective learner is to use relational learning, which involves relating new information to things that you already know.

12. Make flash cards Put the questions on the side where you can see when the paper is folded; unfold it to see the answers inside. Keep quizzing yourself until you get all the answers right reliably.

13. Taking Notes + Making Notes = Better Studying To implement this technique, it’s as simple as putting a line down each sheet of paper that divides the page into two-thirds for taking notes and one-third for making notes.

14. Organize Use sticky colored tabs to divide up a notebook or journal.

15. Write, don’t type Using a pen or pencil to write stimulates ideas and helps you to learn faster.

16. Learn the most important facts first Don't just read the material from beginning to end, stopping to memorize each new fact as you come to it.

17. Vocabulary section or a list of terms Learn these terms, and be able to use them easily, and you will have gone a long way towards mastering the subject itself.

18. Keep Learning (and Practicing) New Things One sure-fire way to become a more effective learner is to simply keep learning. If you want the new information you just learned to stay put, keep practicing and rehearsing it.

19. Make it a group effort Get some friends who are actually interested in studying and have everyone bring over their flash cards. Pass them around and quiz each other.

20. Use Testing to Boost Learning Research has demonstrated that taking tests actually helps you to remember what you've learned.

21. Snack smart while you study Have your snacks prepared when you begin a study session so don't wait till you get hungry and go rummaging for food.

22. Work out Lifting weights and doing cardio carry a host of physical benefits, but turns out exercise can also improve learning and memory.

23. Understand How You Learn Best The most important thing is that you must recognize your learning habits and styles.
