So, I can ask you literally anything?
Sure, within the constraints of the site rules!
1) Do you personally think that it is better off for you not to study at all than to study ineffectively and inefficiently?
Interesting question. Depends on a lot of factors. For example, do you have finite time, and are you simply looking to learn as much as possible? It would logically follow (IMO), then, that some study - even if poor study - is better than none.
But what if you have finite time and want to do other things? What if you have different priorities? What if you'll study better the next day?
There are very many factors here and I'm not sure I can provide a particularly helpful answer at the moment haha. But to answer your question in a roundabout sort of way, there were many times when I decided
not to study because I thought it would be counter-productive in the long run.
2) Not asking for medical advice here, just your opinion. Are naps good or bad for your health?
Honestly I have no idea, but I don't really nap. I think that's mostly because I work 9-5, and generally have decent enough sleep patterns on weekends, too. I know some people who used to nap as soon as they came home, and that gave them a bit of an energy boost for their evening study. But in terms of health, I don't know and it would probably be irresponsible to suggest otherwise.
3) How do I switch studying between subjects on a given night (i.e. when do you know that it's time to study English after having studied Methods for x minutes?)
Personally I preferred, if possible, to focus on 1-2 subjects per day. This meant I could delve a little deeper in those subjects rather than flicking between all of my subjects on a surface level. So it might have been the case that I would study for one in the morning, for example, and then one after school. I also tried to make those subjects as dissimilar as possible just to give myself a break from certain ways of thinking.
In general, though, I'd trust your gut. If you're studying for English but in the back of your head you have a voice going, "mate, you should really be studying for maths", that could be a good sign. I never really used minutes or time spent as a factor - I based it more on intuition.
