A few months ago highstakes regular 307th said this about effective learning:

It's more important that they are good hours. I think there is a tradeoff where if you try to put in a lot of hours of study you will end up doing superficial, inefficient things that are easier. This is why I'm skeptical when people say they study X hours a day. Pick important questions and then work to answer them - don't just flip through charts or idly do random calculations.
Example of bad studying: Going through your hand histories quickly, dismissing most of the actions you make as "standard", and whenever a difficult spot comes up, thinking "hmm, maybe I should have done X?" and then moving on.
Example of good studying: Going through your hand histories, in a limped pot OOP you have K3o on Q84r; you face a 1/2 pot cbet. You fold it in game but wonder if you should have continued so you have a look at tipton's GTO flop ranges (or if you have piosolver/gtorb/simple postflop you can look at the flops there) to see if you should have continued.
