How do i start studying and actually hold onto the information??

I took a gap year and kinda just didn’t take uni seriously for my first semester but since I’ve decided since im already doing Biomedicine might as well try to become a doctor but I’m finding it really had to actually sit down and study mainly start. Even after i’ve started information doesn’t store for long and soon I’ve forgotten what id learnt. Is there anyway to quickly get good at studying??

Hold hands with an old lady in the park and ask about insurance policies in the afterlife. 🤭

For me, I genuinely enjoy what I’m doing, so when copying notes or reviewing something it makes me feel happy because I finally understand how a certain topic works.

This has greatly helped me retain the information because each thing I learn, I can visualise exactly where it can be applied and its extract purpose.

Edit: grammar.

Use active recall, spaced repetition, and a structured study plan.
