5 Questions: Making Studying Fun, Unlearning Bad Habits, & Honors Programs (Ep. 98)

We’re answering your questions today!

In this reader questions episode, we’ll go over how to make studying fun (including some detail on “interest links”, which I talked about in my video on how to read faster), unlearning bad techniques and habits, the value of honors programs, break/rest structures, and building a gym habit.

All of these questions have been pulled from the College Info Geek community on Reddit, and you’ll find links to each question thread below where there are even more answers from other students.
