Keep your study notes and materials in order so that they can be easily retrieved.
Don't read passively, but interact with the material by summarizing, explaining to someone else, or making mind maps.
Short breaks taken often are better than long breaks taken seldom. Utilise these breaks for stretching, walking, or relaxing activities.
Sleep, exercise daily, and eat healthy food. Physical and mental well-being are essential for effective studying.
Drink plenty of fluids to keep the brain functioning at its best.
Use mindfulness, meditation, or deep breathing exercises in your daily routine to relax.

Sleep plays an important role in memory conservation and brain functioning. So schedule your study time in such a way that it does not disturb your sleep.
By making these practices part of your study, you can reduce stress and improve your chances for success.
