We've all been there, trying to stay alive on a cup of coffee in the middle of the night, cramming for the final the night before the big test. In fact, you might be one of the 69.7% of students who reported that they cram before exams. In fact, 38.1% say they "frequently" wait until just before an exam to study, and another 5.8% say they "always" do so (International Neuropsychiatric Disease Journal, 2024). While these activities require intense focus, new science suggests that reducing overall focus capacity actually improves overall productivity.
