.Let’s start on How To Study For 13-15 Hours A Day.
The normal behavior of human beings is to procrastinate. We always love to stay in our comfort zone. But you achieve success once you step out of your comfort zone. Other factors like anxiety, fear, and pressure contribute to abysmal performances. Hence you should find smart ways to get started with your preparation.
–> USE POMODORO TECHNIQUE
An often-used technique – but use it with a combo of technology. E.g.,
Step 1 – Use Alexa – Set a timer of 45 mins with Alexa.
Step 2 – Start learning a concept or reading from a book for those 45 mins.
Step 3 – Once the alarm rings, put down your study material and take a break for 4 to 5 mins. You can relax by listening to a song. Then get back to study and restart from step 1.

–> NOTES
Either you will make your notes or buy notes available for CSIR NET or GATE Exams. If you make your notes, it will take time. SO if you have ample time, this is the best way to revise by having your notes. But for those with less time left for exam preparation, use the notes you have purchased and make notes on top of it, either in the book itself or separately. This way, you can have the reference books with your version of notes in the margins or on sticky notes, which will help you recall concepts faster.

–> FOCUS
The human tendency is to get distracted. All you need is 45 minutes of studies and short breaks of 5 minutes. Even if you think you will lose your flow, don’t skip on the 5-minute breaks because if you carry on for more than 45 minutes, then chances are higher of burnout.
To help you focus without distractions like your phone – choose the DO NOT DISTURB mode on your phone. This ensures that you get no notifications for the time you are studying and hence no temptations and distractions. If you study for 7 hours also but with full focus, it is equivalent to people who study for 12-14 hours.
Hence, FOCUS is the key thing that will make you efficient and study for 13-15 hours per day.
–> HARD WORK
Everyone has the capacity and energy to do all the hard work in the world, but if you don’t have a direction, what’s the use of utilizing so much of your energy? Watch the video on this page to learn about an amazing example that will give you a clearer picture of the importance of hard work & direction.
