Found a weird study hack that saved my grade last semester

I kept spacing out while reading textbooks, so I tried reading them out loud in a terrible British accent and suddenly everything stuck. Did that actually work for anyone else or am I just weird?

Tried the accent thing and it honestly helped me too. Ended up recording myself reading notes in a bad southern drawl and played it back while cooking dinner. Not sure why it works but my brain finally started holding onto the information.

yeah I mean I get that it works for some people but honestly I think it just adds a layer of distraction for me. like if I'm putting on a voice my brain is too busy focusing on doing the voice right and I lose the actual info I'm trying to learn. maybe it's just me but I'd rather just read the notes plain and straight and repeat them a few times. the whole accent thing feels like a gimmick that might work in the moment but doesn't stick long term for everyone. idk I feel like people overcomplicate studying when just sitting down and doing the work gets the same result.
