Summary
- Break things up into small learnable chunks of learning.
- Test yourself after you learn something, give yourself a little bit of break, walk around, do something else for a while, then quiz yourself.
- Vary the media, the learning style, the environment that you're learning in so that you can learn in all sorts of various areas or that new learning is available to you in every situation
- Make sure you give yourself enough time to learn something so that you can learn it for real and get a deep, comprehensive look at whatever it is you're trying to learn.
- Get to sleep. Sleep is where our brain takes that information and cleans up the catalogs and stores things in the proper place.
Challenge
- Try to pick one new thing that you're going to learn. Start off by giving yourself the correct type of media, figure out how you're going to learn it. If you're going to learn it with books and videos. Then, give yourself a way that you can practice it and try it out. Start with something straightforward. You're gonna try to learn how to knit a scarf.
