Grandioso, ecco come avere una memoria di ferro. Ricerca NIH.

A study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) showed that taking many small breaks helps the brain learn new skills.

Through monitoring and mapping of brain activity, MRIs, EEGs, etc., researchers observed that the participants' brain waves changed much more during rest periods than during activity.

The key to learning is the small break.

During breaks, the volunteers' brains repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity they were practicing; the more the brain replayed the activity, the better it was performed after the break.

It even seems that this awake rest is even more effective than nighttime rest.

This research could also help patients who have suffered neurological damage to recover sooner and better.

During breaks, you can eat some fruit or nuts to recharge, even a nice glass of water would be ideal.

To this research some old and new tips should be added, which we list for you, hoping you will find them useful:

Organize a schedule, including snacks, breaks, naps, or a short walk outdoors.

Find the right motivations and set goals, but above all believe in yourself, this could be the winning move.

Varying study methods helps the brain not to get used to them, thus reducing distractions.
Ideally, study different subjects with different approaches, so as to keep your mind constantly trained.
Maybe start with the most complicated subjects and finish with the more pleasant ones.

Write summaries, rework what you have just read helps to structure and outline, basically increasing the effectiveness of studying.

Take notes while the teacher explains, then at home add to a notebook what you read from the book.
Reread the concepts highlighting the main words to repeat.

Writing, dedicating at least 15 minutes a day to it not only helps you remember but also clears your mind when it overflows with stressful thoughts.
In fact, putting your thoughts in writing helps reduce mental clutter. Maybe in a diary before going to bed.

Listening to music can help relieve stress and improve mood, concentration and memory, motivate learning and promote neuroplasticity.
Walking, going out for a walk clears your mind and helps refocus your thoughts, lets your mind rest and is good for our body (liver, kidneys, circulation, heart, mind, etc.). The ancient Romans recommended three km a day.
Exercising for 20 or 30 minutes a day, even at home, improves decision-making and reaction time as well as allowing our mind to disconnect, just like walking.

Talking, andexpressing annoying feelings out loud helps relieve tension. Discussing your problems can allow you to present them more logically.
Talking with family or friends is useful to overcome frustrations and clear your mind.

The workstation for work or study must always be tidy.
Also look for a comfortable and suitable position, find the right space to read, take notes, write on the computer, etc. It is vital, so not lying on a bed or sofa.
Turn off cell phones, television, radio and other electronic devices.

Never skip breakfast, remember that it is the most important meal of the day.

Sleep at least 6 hours, 8 hours would be great.
Also going to bed at the same time would be a real boon for our mind.
Practice mindfulness, it has fabulous effects not only on the mind, but on the whole body. Try it to believe it.

Don't forget breaks, every 30 minutes, or every hour, you decide, but they must be short, to recharge your energy, go to the bathroom, drink water or keep your eyes closed to relax or rest (10-15 minutes).
