study hacks

It is almost a year since countries around the world encountered the threat of COVID infection. In March 2020, most states around the globe announced their first quarantine and lockdown policies to counteract the spread of the virus. Well, it has almost been a year, and the COVID situation has not gone away. So far, both the damage from the crisis and from governmental responses to it has been a disaster on many fronts. One aspect of our lives that took the hit from COVID, has been education.

Imagine you're given a task to write a research paper, and you have little time. You need to conduct high-quality research on your topic and find only the most relevant sources in a very short time. If you encountered situations like this, then this study hack is for you. We will describe here how to gather quality sources on any topic really fast. 

COVID-19 is almost certainly the major thing this year will be remembered for. It has such a massive impact on our lives, irrespective of the fact if you or your family get infected with it. For starters, it locked us all up at home. It stopped so many normal activities, like going to the park, chatting with friends over a cup of coffee in a cafe, or even going to school for god’s sake. 

In the previous post, we were talking about useful techniques that help you study quickly, efficiently, and painlessly. In particular, we have discussed switching between focused and diffused modes of attention, tackling procrastination by "just doing it" (starting on the task you want to avoid for 20-30 minutes and getting the job done), and we have talked about the importance of good sleep.
