Study is the deliberate, well-planned effort to learn. It includes reading, writing, researching and practicing.

Active Learning: Learn actively instead of passively (you are not a sponge) That could be note-taking, summaries or mind mapping.
Time Management: Design your own timetable to study and daily pick out topics for which you will give time slots.

Take Regular Breaks: Stepping away from your computer for short periods helps recharge your brain.
