That's the title of a popular short book by Thomas Frank of College Info Geek! It focuses on being a more effective learner and boosting productivity to achieve better grades while reducing study time.
Based on the book's content, here are the 10 steps he outlines:
🎓 The 10 Steps to Earning Awesome Grades (While Studying Less)
Pay Better Attention in Class: Maximize your learning during class time, which is fixed.
Take Effective Notes: Use a system that makes your notes a powerful study tool, not just a transcript.
Get More Out of Your Textbooks: Learn to read actively and efficiently, focusing on what matters.
Plan Efficiently: Plan like a general—weekly and daily—to prioritize tasks with the biggest impact.
Build Your Optimal Study Environment: Minimize distractions (real-world and technological) to promote focus.
Fight Entropy and Stay Organized: Use effective tools (like a trusted to-do list and filing system) to keep materials and tasks organized.
Defeat Procrastination: Understand and overcome the root causes of procrastination through habit building and commitment.
Study Smarter: Use active study methods, like active recall and spaced repetition, instead of passive methods like re-reading.
Write Better Papers: Master the entire writing process, from research to editing, to produce higher-quality work.
Make Group Projects Suck Less: Establish clear goals, roles, communication, and leadership to make team efforts productive.
Would you like me to elaborate on any one of these steps, such as techniques for "Defeating Procrastination" or tips for "Studying Smarter"?
