Here are the 10 Rules of Good Studying by Barbara Oakley, PhD, PE:
- Prioritize: Decide what is most important and focus on that first.

- Get organized: Keep your notes and materials organized so that you can find them easily.
- Find a study buddy: Studying with a friend or classmate can help you stay motivated and on track.
- Take breaks: Get up and move around every 20-30 minutes to avoid getting too tired or restless.
- Reward yourself: When you reach a study goal, give yourself a small reward.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help: If you are struggling with a concept, ask your teacher, tutor, or classmate for help.

Here are 10 pitfalls to avoid in your learning:
- Procrastination: Putting off learning until the last minute is a surefire way to fail. Start studying early and give yourself plenty of time to learn the material.
- Not taking breaks: Studying for long periods of time without taking breaks can lead to burnout. Get up and move around every 20-30 minutes to avoid getting too tired or restless.
- Not getting enough sleep: Getting enough sleep is essential for learning. When you're well-rested, you're better able to focus and retain information.

- Not drinking enough water: Staying hydrated is important for overall health, and it can also help you focus and learn better. Aim to drink 8 glasses of water per day.
- Not getting enough exercise: Exercise is not only good for your physical health, it can also improve your cognitive function. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
