- If you want to find something on a website that does not have a search tool, use Google. Type “site:www.thesite.com search terms” and be amazed at the results.
- Viewing the source code of a page can often give you many answers. Example: If you hate e-mail forms (even though they help prevent spam), right clicking and viewing the source of the page will often help you find the e-mail address so you can contact them directly with your e-mail software of choice.
- Firefox has a great search tool that finds your term as you type it. It is much quicker than Internet Explorer’s search tool. Bonus: Firefox 3 uses much less memory, browses faster, and helps you bookmark items for easy retrieval later.
- Sit up straight to improve brain flow to your brain and be more alert (or lean back at 45 degrees for optimal spinal health)
- Wear ear plugs or headphones to block out distractions, and focus.

Earplugs for the win. They are the best study tool on a cost-benefit basis, IMO.

Myth # many = Firefox uses a lot of memory more than any other browser and is not faster than most other browsers.

Many tests have shown that Firefox 3 actually is better for speed and memory usage. The link above uses an earlier beta, and it’s improved now.
