In education terms, cramming exists. Cramming is a practice of working to absorb large volumes of informational material and do academic related stuff in a short amount of time. It is often done by students in preparation for upcoming exams or projects especially just before they are due.

​

Here are some ways to avoid cramming:

1. Plan study sessions in advance

• Having planned study sessions can make a student avoid procrastination.

1. Avoid studying with friends

• If you have an experience of studying with friends and it did not turn out well, better study on your own, it will make you concentrate more.

1. Start Early

2. It can be the hardest technique to do, but starting early can lessen your workload and can help you submit your work on time.

3. Avoid Entertainment, Priorities First

• Movies, social media, games and any other forms of entertainment can be a source of distraction.

1. Sleep on time

• One of the most effective ways to study is when you have enough sleep. Lack of sleep can be the cause of you not being able to concentrate on your study and work.

1. Mind Setting

• By putting your whole mind into your work, you could be done in a second. Focus and remember that it's all in the mind; how you think will be the result of your actions.
