Study Smarter: The Student Handbook For Learning That Actually Works

$22.00

Evidence-based study strategies grounded in cognitive science — not study tips, but a complete shift in how you approach learning.

What's inside:

→ How Memory Actually Works — encoding, storage, retrieval, and the fluency trap

→ The Big Three Strategies — retrieval practice, spaced practice, and interleaving → Note-Taking That Builds Understanding — the three-phase note cycle with the 24-hour retrieval pass

→ Managing Attention During Study — what actually kills focus and the environmental fixes that work

→ Time & Planning Systems — the semester map, Sunday Reset, x1.5 rule, 9-to-5 framework, and brain dump

→ The Exam Readiness Protocol — week-by-week prep from two weeks out through exam morning

→ The EF Connection — which EF skill is behind each study struggle and which strategy addresses it

→ Your Personal Study Plan — a guided worksheet for your two highest-leverage changes

Who this is for: College students working hard but not getting the results they expect. Students with ADHD or EF challenges who find standard study advice doesn't account for how their brain activates. Anyone who wants to study less and retain more.

Study strategies informed by the research of Dr. Daniel T. Willingham, author of Outsmart Your Brain (2023).
