Project P.E.A.C.E. Mindful Monday #4: The Spacing Effect

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and happy Monday! On this segment of Mindful Monday, we are talking about the spacing effect (those who take A.P. Psychology with Mrs. Rosen know what I’m talking about).Do you have a large goal you want to accomplish, but have no idea how to start doing it? Or maybe you have so much to do in a day that you have no idea how you are going to get it all done? The way to accomplish your goal and keep your sanity is to divide your workload into smaller, more manageable steps. These steps should be just small enough that you can do them effectively and just large enough that you feel accomplished after doing them. That way, you’ll get your work done with the least amount of stress!

Leslie studied the same number of hours as Lee Ann and Nora, but since she broke it down over 8 days, she retained the most information. This can be seen through her test grade. 

Here are some links about the spacing effect:
