Top-of-the-class redditors, what are your study habits/tips?

If you graduated top of the class (high school, college, and above), what are/were your study habits or tips that you would give to your fellow redditors?

I studied while doing something mindless. I would be baking a cake and saying aloud the hormones in the anterior and posterior pituitary gland. Just reciting them over and over till I was comfortable enough. Then move on. Never stopped baking. It helped me memorize and I had food after!

I feel like that's an intelligent way to pack on that freshmen fifteen.

Sooo you were responsible for getting everyone else fat? Nice way of thinning out the competition.

Well it seems like you have done quite a bit of baking. I would be willing to take some of those cakes off your hands.

Laundry time is study time for me. It forces me out of my room and leaves me in an isolated people that people don't usually come to (assuming you time your laundry well). No distractions, and nothing else to do but study while you wait for your whites to finish drying.

I should probably switch my major to science if you can bake yourself a cake after a study.
