变身学习达人：6个关键词教你学习

Space
空间

Make room, mentally and physically, for studying. Usually you’re studying for something specific, such as an exam. This can seem daunting, like a mountain to climb. If this sounds familiar, take a deep breath and pause for a moment before you start.
把房间创造成适合身心两方面学习的地方。通常你在学习某一些具体的内容，比如一场考试。这似乎是件很难的事，像要爬一座山。如果这听起来耳熟，深呼吸，在你开始前停顿片刻。

Think of how you make yourself comfortable when you do something you really enjoy, like watching a favorite television program. How do you settle in for the show? Do you sprawl or curl up? Do you have favourite relaxing clothes? Do you choose a particular drink or something to nibble? Borrow all these favorite things to make your studying a better experience. If you’re in a good space physically, you can improve your mental space.
想想当你做一些你真正喜欢的事情的时候，你是怎么让自己感觉舒服的，比如收看最喜欢的电视节目。你是如何看待这些节目的呢？你是翘首以盼还是很慵懒？你有穿着最舒心的衣服吗？你有特定的饮料或是吃的吗？把所有这些心爱的东西聚在一起，为你创造更好的学习体验。如果你待在一个好的物理环境里，你会改善你的精神领域。

Place
地方

Create your own personal work zone. It doesn’t have to look like a work-space — that’s what many students find off-putting. Building on what you did in the previous paragraph, make the place your own and somewhere you enjoy.
创建自己的个人工作区。它不需要看起来像工作场所——这是很多学生觉得讨厌的一点。基于前一段你创造出适合学习的空间，再打造一个属于你自己的、你也喜欢的地方。

Pace
节奏

Find the right pace for your work. Sprinters work hard and fast in a burst of energy while marathon runners spread the load and build slowly towards the climax. There’s no right or wrong way to pace your studying, except what works for you. Notice the way you like to work, and adjust your pace accordingly. (Just remember, if you study at a slow pace, you'll need to set aside more time for the task.)
找到合适你的工作节奏。短跑运动员注重在一瞬间的爆发力，而马拉松运动员要分摊里程并慢慢达到极限。在为学习设定速度上不存在谁对谁错的方法，只在乎哪种对你最适用。留意自己愉快工作时的方式，并相应调整自己的节奏。（记住，如果你以一种缓慢的速度进行学习，你需要为完成这些任务留出更多的时间。）

Whether you have bags of time or a brief study period, remember that breaks are just as important as active study (10 minutes off for every 30 minutes of study works for many people), and use those breaks to reward yourself with a small treat.
不管你是有充足的时间或是简短的片刻，记住休息是同主动学习一样重要的（对很多人来说每学习30分钟需要10分钟的休息时间），并趁着这些片刻休息时间吃点零食犒劳一下自己。
