Audit my study week. My log of study sessions with time, subject, method and distractions: [STUDY_LOG]. What I planned: [WEEKLY_PLAN]. Methods I use: [METHODS].

Total the hours by subject and method with percentages, showing the arithmetic. Compare with the plan and find the gaps. Identify the proportion of time spent on passive methods (re-reading, highlighting) versus active methods (practice questions, recall, teaching someone). Look for patterns in distractions and the times of day with the most effective sessions. Suggest three changes for next week and a way to measure effect (questions answered, topics recalled without notes). Provide a simple log template that takes under a minute per session.

Keep it supportive and specific. Avoid claims about how much of any technique is optimal; recommend testing for myself.

Add a worked example: 14 hours logged, of which re-reading 6 (43 percent), practice questions 4 (29), flashcards 2 (14), teaching a friend 2 (14), and a suggestion to shift one re-reading hour into practice questions next week, measured by the percentage of questions answered correctly without notes.
