Hi, I’m Fran Montemurro from Smart Swot. How can I help?
From the videos you’re hinting at, there are a few “signature” study approaches that keep coming up:
- Active recall over passive review – closing the book and pulling information from memory (questions, flashcards, teaching someone) instead of just rereading or highlighting
- Spaced repetition – revisiting material over days and weeks, not cramming the night before
- Planning with intention – using planners or simple time blocks to decide what you’ll learn each session, not just “study”
- Growth mindset – viewing mistakes and low scores as feedback, not proof you are “not smart enough”
- Strategic breaks – pausing to reset attention, but not hiding behind the Pomodoro method as the main “hack”
Is there a specific area you want to improve first: focus, memory, or motivation?
