Martin Lobdell’s legendary lecture, distilled: short focused blocks with rewards (20–30 min), a place that means studying, understand before memorizing, notes + review, teach others (best way to learn), SQ3R, mnemonics (the weirder the image, the better, carbohydrate → CAR → 4 wheels → 4 kcal), and sleep as part of the method, not a luxury. Highlighting is recognition, not recall, mostly useless.
