Harvard recommends setting clear goals to improve focus and retention. Know why you're reading before you begin.
Skim the headings, intro, and summary first. It primes your brain for faster comprehension.
Ask questions, take notes, and reflect as you read. Engagement boosts memory and understanding.
Use the Pomodoro technique—25 mins reading, 5 mins break. This helps prevent fatigue and increases retention.
Harvard says reviewing material within 24 hours boosts long-term memory. Revisit your notes to make it stick!
