These are some things I do that helps me study better :)
Don’t cramp everything into a single page. It’ll be very stressful to look at when you revise the topic again because one page bombards you with a lot of information. Instead, space your content out. It’ll be easier on your eyes.
2) Keep a task list beside/in front of you as you work.
This could be your to-do list or schedule. As long as you have something that reminds you of what you should be doing, it should keep you on track.
3) Avoid having food around when studying.
As humans, we aren’t born to multi-task. Furthermore, the food will simply act as a distraction if you aren’t disciplined enough (like me :D). If you have snacks lying around, you’ll subconsciously finish everything and pack on extra calories anyway.
4) Find a comfortable spot to study with a toilet nearby and source of food/drinks nearby.
By comfortable, I mean a place you associate with work and a place that is well-lit and you know people won’t disturb you/chase you away (if you’re studying in a café). Also, you’ll waste time travelling if the toilet is too far away and when you’re hungry/thirsty, you’ll also waste a lot of time trying to find food/drinks. This brings me to the next tip…
5) Keep a 1L (or more) water bottle near you when you study.
Make sure that it’s filled to the brim with plain water. You wouldn’t need to waste time walking around to get water. Also, it reminds you to hydrate yourself and drinking water keeps you more awake. (Well, that’s the case for me at least)
6) Only have the materials for one subject spread out in front of you at any point in time.
If you put everything you need to study/do in front of you, you’ll probably get stressed out about the other things you need to do and end up ditching your current subject for that one. Focus on one task at a time. Finish it. Move on. Also, after finishing the study session for one subject, clear it away completely and spread out the new subject in front of you.

These are the things that have helped me the most to be efficient when studying.
Also, remember that it’s okay to take breaks when you’re tired. You’ll do better if you get a brief shuteye if you feel like your eyelids are going to shut down on you.
