To boost learning speed: incorporate short breaks, utilize the gap effect, maintain intense focus for 90-minute intervals, practice deep rest techniques, and ensure alertness and adequate sleep.

Short breaks involve taking 10-second breaks when experiencing a natural slowdown, as well as 1 to 10-minute breaks after a study session. These breaks can aid in retaining information more effectively and enhancing learning.

The gap effect, as suggested by Stanford's Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, involves taking random intervals of doing nothing while learning. This technique is believed to help in learning 10 times faster by aiding in retaining information more effectively. By taking short breaks and consciously counting the number of breaks, the gap effect can be leveraged for enhanced learning without being counterproductive or distracting.

Deep rest techniques include practices such as meditation or napping, aimed at aiding in the retention of learned material. Engaging in these techniques during breaks from study sessions can help reset and maintain productivity, contributing to improved learning efficiency.
