I wonder what's your favourite study that you've learnt. I'm starting this forum to gather the study techniques that I've long forgotten and to help the new ones learn more. Thanks.

Interleaving. example of interleaving
we have someone studying for 4 hours in 1 hour sessions lets say he/she has to study two topics that are connected to eachother. an interleaving approach would be to study 30m topic1 and 30m topic 2 in all 4 sessions instead of session 1 and 2 being for topic 1 and 3 and 4 being for topic 2. this means that throughout our studying we will be able to make more connections between the two topics

Not much to elaborate on. To be honest with you. I just said it for people who don't know and might get confused. At a surface level though. Deep work isn't just regular study. Like pomodoro it's a disinct method, based off of Cal Newports book of the same name. The main difference is length of time. The reason why pomodoro is effective is because of urgency. The false deadline makes you faster in a literal sense via an adrenaline rush. This is the same reason why it's possible to cram a lot of content into just a few hours. Pomodoro is basically saying 'let me cram right now' and if you're doing so before the exam it's really useful. The keyword to look up is: Parkinson's Law. Deep Work is focused on having you spend as long as needed on a task until it's done. Urgency isn't in the equation and that's the point. Sometimes you don't necessarily have a strict deadline or maybe you want to stay in flow for as long as possible because you don't know when you can again.

So the main difference is urgency. But there are other things such as the exact things you wanna focus on, time limits for each so you don't burnout, or exact times to use each session for optimum focus.

I believe both sessions are just as good but they have specific tasks they are better for. When I'm studying for example my priming block is exclusively pomodoro. For study however, making flashcards, questions, or reading my textbook, I use deep work, because my deadline won't be for days and I'd rather 'batch' everything I need in that single session, which might take 4hrs+

there are more differences but you can find youtube videos about which one is better for you
