Do the following steps:
1. Do not study more than an hour at a time without taking a break.
In fact, if you are doing straight memorization, do not spend more than 20 to 30 minutes at a time. Here is the rationale behind taking such small bites out of study time.
First, when you are under an imposed time restriction, you use the time more efficiently. Have you noticed how much studying you manage to cram into the day before big exams? That is why it is called "cramming."
2. Make up a color and sign system for text and notes.
* Red for main ideas
* Blue for dates and numbers
* Yellow for supporting facts.
* Circles, boxes, stars and checks in the margins can also be utilized to make reviewing easy.
* Make your own glossary of the words and concepts you do not know.
Watch your involuntary actions very carefully and cautiously - count your breath, count how many time your eyes wink, count your steps, watch yourself on mirror and note down the differences every time you notice, read as many passages as possible from books keeping a mirror in front, reading through them! Try and appreciate things around you, memorize events relating to other things. Break-down the large numbers into manageable chunks, relate them with things that you recognise fast! Break-down all complex issues into manageable small entities and deal with them. Try to understand the concepts of B-Tree indexing techniques!
For a software developer, it is very important for him/her to have a enormous logical problem solving capability. The maha mantra to improve logical skills is practicing breaking down of complex problems into smaller simpler understandable modules and each module to be dealt individually and understanding the interfaces between those modules. At times even reverse engineering can help to improve logical skills.
