Chunking refers to doing a little a lot not a lot a little.
The 20/7 chunking strategy/theory suggests that short term memory can be improved by reducing large amounts of information into smaller bits. For example, if you had to read a chapter for school and you had a week until the quiz, it would be more beneficial to read a few pages a night rather than to read the whole chapter the day before.

Taking notes
One thing that has helped me personally is taking notes and then copying the notes I took by hand into another paper. While this isn't very efficient it can help reinforce the information.
