My ten best study tips are as follows:

以下是我最好的10条学习建议：

1.Wake up early—at the latest, 6A.M.

1.早起——最晚6点钟。

2.Go to bed 7–9 hours before you plan on waking up. No more, no less.

2.在你计划起床时间的7-9小时前上床睡觉，不要提前也不要推后。

3.Don’t hit snooze. Little 8–10 minute breaks of sleep right when you are waking up will absolutely destroy your focus for the day. The body is not designed to sleep in such short rapid bursts.

3.不要睡回笼觉。起床时有8-10分钟的睡眠中断一定会使你一天注意力无法集中。身体不适应如此短暂快速的爆发。

4.Stay awake for 15–17 hours a day. This is incredibly important. Everybody worries about how long you sleep, but you need to be awake for a certain amount of time, or you’ll be destroyed.

4.一天保持15–17小时的清醒。这个重要性令人难以置信，每个人都担心你睡多长时间，但你需要保持清醒的时间也要有保证，否则你就完了。

5.Always eat a good breakfast. Carbohydrates fuel the brain for a few hours in the morning, and they are best.

5.早餐要吃好。碳水化合物在上午能为大脑提供几小时的能量，是最好的早餐。

6.When you sit down to work, eliminate all distractions. Put your phone on do not disturb. Don’t even have a penny on the desk.

6.坐下来工作时，排除一切干扰。手机设置成勿扰模式，桌子上甚至连硬币都不要有。

7.Set alarms. Don’t study for too long at once, and when your alarm goes off, take a deliberate break, or you’ll feel fatigued and will begin easily losing focus.

7.定闹钟。一次学习时间不要过长，闹钟响起时特意休息一会，否则你会很乏，注意力开始不集中。

8.If you skip meals, you are bound to fail.

8.一顿饭不吃都不行。

9.Remove all other subconscious distractions from your mind. This is one of the most important and overlooked elements of learning. Get off social media—permanently. Sell your smartphone if you can. Don’t watch mindless television shows. All these things fill your subconscious brain layer and make focusing for long periods of time more difficult.

9.抛开大脑中所有其他分心的东西。这是学习中最重要也是最容易被忽略的。永远退出社交网络，如果可以把智能手机卖掉，不要看白痴的电视节目，所有这些都会充斥在大脑的潜意识层，使你更难长时间集中注意力。

10.Relax in the evenings. Without rest, you will lose your ability to focus. Your brain needs time to rest, but remember, that doesn’t mean endless hours on social media, reading news, or watching TV. Those three things are the enemies of success, and the destroyers of the mind.

10.晚上放松。不休息你就不能集中注意力。你的大脑需要时间休息，但你要记住，不要没完没了地泡在社交网络上、读新闻或看电视。这三件事是成功的大敌，是思想杀手。
