The speaker, Ibrahim Adel, discusses 11 solutions to help students study more effectively and efficiently. He emphasizes that with 168 hours in a week, time management is crucial. The solutions are based on scientific research and include:
1. Learning information in different ways to stimulate new brain connections.
2. Studying multiple subjects each day to improve mental efficiency.
3. Avoiding multitasking, as it can decrease productivity and increase distractions.
4. Using mnemonic devices, such as abbreviations, to remember large amounts of information.
5. Writing down fears and concerns to improve memory and performance.
6. Testing oneself periodically to reinforce learning and identify areas for improvement.
7. Reading aloud to speed up the learning process.
8. Taking regular breaks to enhance productivity and concentration.
9. Rewarding oneself after study sessions to stimulate the mind.
10. Maintaining a healthy body and mind through exercise, sufficient sleep, and hydration.
11. Consuming foods rich in choline, such as eggs and chicken, to support brain function.
Ibrahim Adel concludes with a wisdom that encourages students to approach their studies in manageable chunks, "one bite at a time."
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. There are 168 hours in a week.
2. Research by Dr. J. Willis in 2008 found that diversity in reception methods stimulates new places in the brain, leading to faster understanding and retention of information.
3. Research by Dr. Rohner D. in 2012 found that the mind works more efficiently when studying multiple subjects on the same day.
4. Multitasking can make a person less productive, more distracted, and less rational.
5. Successful students do not focus on two things at the same time.
6. Mnemonic devices can be used to remember large amounts of information.
7. Writing down fears and concerns can improve memory and performance.
8. Research by the University of Chicago found that students who wrote down their fears before an exam performed better than those who did not.
9. Self-testing is a necessary tool for improving academic performance.
10. Taking regular breaks can enhance productivity and increase concentration.
11. Research by Arriguarens in 2011 found that taking breaks can improve concentration and productivity.
12. Reading aloud can help speed up the learning process.
13. Rewarding oneself after studying can stimulate the mind to learn.
14. A healthy body and mind are linked, and exercise and proper nutrition can improve mental ability.
15. Choline is a vitamin compound that is beneficial to the brain and can help form new memories.
16. Foods rich in choline include chicken, eggs, lentils, broccoli, and sunflower pulp.
