Combination Studying Method [1:53]
The Combination Studying Method involves matching subjects with appropriate study methods based on personal preferences, strengths, and weaknesses. First, list all subjects and study methods, categorizing them by difficulty and concentration required. During peak focus times, pair difficult subjects with concentration-intensive methods like problem-solving. When concentration wanes, switch to preferred subjects with casual methods like organizing materials to restore focus. This adjustment series prevents burnout and maximizes study efficiency.
Three Stages of Studying [7:14]
The video outlines three main stages of studying: understanding, input and output, and application. Understanding involves methods like organizing materials and listening to online lectures. Input and output focus on memorization through speaking or writing and retrieving information through quizzes or flashcards. Application includes solving problems and making error logs, with creating practice problems considered the highest level. Input and output require the most concentration and should be done when in good condition.

Unlike distracting music, ASMR can transform the study experience, making it feel less monotonous.
