I am studying for finals right now and want to make sure I do the most efficient studying possible and more important retain as much info as possible. I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff on what I should be doing so I came here to ask as well.

What should I be doing before studying? Should it be listening to music to get me in the zone, or no music, or perhaps looking at certain things to warm me up?

What should I be doing during studying? Mainly asking, should i be listening to music and if so what music is best to listen to during studying?

And what should i do after studying? I see a lot of people saying this is the most important phase for retention. Should I be listening to certain music? Should I not be listening to anything? Should I sit still and try to recount everything I learned?

I have very bad study habits and bad focus (maybe ADHD related I’m undiagnosed tho and don’t have time to get any meds if so lol) currently so genuinely any advice EVER on studying is super appreciated!
