Trying to Recall Information Leads to Learning, not Memorization
The harder your brain has to work to dig out a memory, the greater the learning.
It's harder to close a book and ask yourself what you learned rather than go back and study your notes.
​
Fluency Illusion - when we think something is so basic and simple that there is no way we could forget it (but usually we do).
Self-Quiz Yourself After Reading or Hearing Something:
Seeing what you can recall is very useful to learning and retaining information.
Teach or Explain What You Learn and ELABORATE:
Elaboration is the process of giving new material meaning by expressing it in your own words and connecting it with what you already know.
Concentrate:
If you are unable to focus on your learning, you should out off until another time (it will be wasted effort).
​
Consistency Not Intensity:
When it comes to learning, it is better to learn is small, regular intervals rather than long, intense study sessions (for learning, Deep Work does not apply).
Vary Your Practice:
Just as you need to vary your learning intervals, you also need to vary your practice.
Don't just practice the same pitch over and over. Practice a bunch of different pitches to become a star pitcher.
