A reflection on study approaches

I find it interesting that when starting a course in uni, people approach it in so many different ways - and I do think that the approach that people take will translate into the way that they work. There are obviously a lot of ways to study, but for the sake of simplicity I will define the two that I see the most. There is an approach of taking notes and studying many hours, every day; coming to all the lectures and doing everything possible to be as preheated as possible. And there is the other one, doing nothing almost, having fun, working on something else and then, in the last weeks before the exam is due, somehow just use enough time to in the end get the same result. What IFind interesting is that result is almost the same in those two types of people. But why? how is ít possible that someone who has been doing their studies full-time, is on the same level as someone who has just used a week on that. While I do have an understanding that not all people ae the same and have their own approached, this still strikes me. I think it translates to a lot of things in life, we would be surprise one how little time many things actually take, if we have the approach of actually getting the stuff done. This reflection is not finished but, just a thought, hence should be taken with a grain of salt, when I will have a more profoúnd thought on this topic I will return to it
