I did a learning how to learn course recently - gist of it is.
30 min blocks, then reward yourself - stretch, move about for 5 mins.
study a thing, copy a thing - fix any mistakes, put the thing aside and try and remember it without reference. Fix using reference. Try and recall without refs an hour later - fix using reference. repeat a few hours later again, then again the next day.
Then go back to stuff a few days later, and a week or so later - doing the recall stuff helps fix it in longterm memory and make the recall accessible. Fixing mistakes draws our attention to the details.
I need to use this method more, because when I /have/ done it, it's worked really well.
