Odysseus was a great warrior or King of his time who fought long wars,
after fight he went for his home with his soldiers from the sea way, he
listened that in the way of sea there is a island from which the sound Havens
comes and when someone go there, they would in the trap and killed. Odysseus
know this already then he have ideas about how to control that situation. He
said to close ears to all his soldiers, and he wanted to listen that sound for
this he said his soldiers to bind him in the edge of the sea, and whenever he
cried the soldiers have nothing to do, they passed that situation and this
technique came to be known as Odysseus Techique.

rapidly but mostly cover that have chances to come in exam and lastly if you
are regular to school read your notes carefully, and if you are not regular to
school for some reasons read the notes of Topper or a boy who are regular to
school.

REPETATION (POMODORO)

for 25 or 50 Minutes and after studying we have to take a short break likely
for 5-10 Minutes.

Set a time
that I have to study for 25 Minutes and after studying for 25 Minutes, take a
short time break for 5 or 10 Minutes. Your brain easily understand this gives
you full potential to work because it know that I get break after reading for
some time.
4. PARKINSON’S
LAW
Have you ever notice that, if we get homework from the school and have 1
week for that homework, we complete that homework in last day of the week. Here
Parkinson’s Law say that set deadline for your work.

use Parkinson’s law in Practical life?
If you have
a time for your work like 1 week, fit in your mind that I have only three days,
to complete this project or Homework. After this mindset that I have only 3
days, you act like, I have only 3 days you complete your homework in less days.
5. ACTIVE
RECALL
Active recall means, remember things than revision. Yes, according to the
book “Learning How to Learn” the author say that Recalling is better than
Revising.
Example: Suppose
that you read about “How Internet Works?” and create notes, after sometime you
most of the things forget instantly because that information is saved in short
term memory. After this if you start revising that concept from the Notes, it
is rare that you not forget that concept for long time. Instead of revising, if
you stand in the front of the mirror or start recalling you have learn that
things or concept for long time.
How to
use this Technique in Practical life?
If you know
that I have complete this concept start recalling instead of revising because
revising gives you instant information but recalling takes time to remember
what you are read in that concept but it is stored in memory for long time.
