Cramming doesn't teach you anything.
We are vulnerable to relying on cramming when we are behind our study schedule. We cram the amount of work that was planned for 3 days an hour a day into a 3 hour long study session on the fourth day after which we tend to be satisfied with ourselves and say "It did not go as planned but I'm on track now". However, cramming doesn't actually let us learn anything; it just gives us a false impression that we learned something. Our brain is capable of taking in only so much an amount of information at a time that it requires us to spend the next 3 days reviewing to truly digest what we have just learned. But it is unlikely that someone who failed to study for the first 3 days in the first place will be successful for the next 3 days, resulting in zero learning. So no matter how tired you might be, it is important to sit down and start studying even if it is just a little bit because what matters is not the amount but how routinely we do it.

Thank you for the corrections.
Is there a nice simple way of saying the equivalent of "total work divided into 3 days, each containing one hour a day" that fits the context of my journal? I didn't think "3 days an hour a day" (what I wrote) would be correct but couldn't think of a more natural way to say it.

I think this would be good
"an hour of work for three days"
but in this context, i think its better to not specify the one hour a day part, because otherwise it gets too confusing, so you could just say "we cram 3 days of work into a 3 hour study session" or something like that.

Got it. Thank you
