I want to talk about tricks to remember what you learn. Remembering what you learn is very important. There are some tricks to remember what you learn.
You know when you finish a lesson or read something. Then you think about it an hour later. You realize you do not really remember what the lesson was, about or what the article said? This happens because your brain was not really doing anything it was kind of watching. The thing is, you have to make your brain work if you want to remember things. Learning really sticks with you when your mind is actively doing something like when you’re thinking about what you are learning. There are a simple things you can do to make your mind do this. Learning sticks when the mind actively engages and a few simple techniques can make that happen with learning.
To really learn something you can try the “3 questions” trick. It is very simple. After you finish reading or learning something you should ask yourself a things. What is the main point of the thing you just learned? How can you actually use this information in your life? Who can you tell about this thing so you can explain it to them? When you answer these questions you are not just saying the things over and over. You are really thinking about what you learned. The “3 questions” trick helps your brain make connections, between things think of situations where you can use this information and remember things that are related to it. This is how the “3 questions” trick helps you remember things better.
When we have to learn something that’s really hard the “3 repetitions” method is very helpful. First we should read through it one time without worrying if we remember it or not. Then we should go back. Look at it again this time thinking about how things are related and the logic behind it. After that we should try to explain the topic to ourselves or to someone else using our own words. If we do this three times even the difficult things can become easy to remember. The “3 repetitions” method is great, for making the topic stick in our minds.
Our brains can get really confused when they try to deal with new facts all at the same time. This is where the “2 lists” method comes in. The “2 lists” method is pretty simple. You make one list for the things you already know about something and another list for the things you are learning.
When you see the things you know and the new things you are learning on lists it helps to get rid of all the confusion, in your head. The “2 lists” method really helps your brain to store knowledge in a better way. The “2 lists” method is a way to keep your thoughts organized.
Staying focused is really hard. Little things like notifications and thoughts and extra tabs on the computer can easily distract you. One thing that helps is the 30-second rule. Focus is what you need to work on. When you find your mind drifting away focus is what you have to get. So you stop for thirty seconds take a breath and remind yourself what you are doing with focus. This helps you get your focus back, on track. Focus is important to get things done.
Long study sessions can be really tough. The 20-minute rule is a help. You should study hard for 20 minutes then take a little break for 3 to 5 minutes. Get up from your chair stretch your body. Look out the window. The 20-minute rule works because after your break you will feel fresh and ready to learn. The 20-minute rule makes learning a lot easier for you to do.
You do not need to feel motivated to get started. The five minute method is really simple. It just asks you to do something for five minutes. This can be reading, watching something or writing. Sometimes your brain starts to work and those five minutes of reading watching or writing can turn into twenty minutes or even more of reading watching or writing.
The “minus one” method is really helpful. It tells you that sometimes having less is better. So when you are learning about something stop before you go far. Do not watch one video or read one more article about the topic. Just think about what’s really important and how you will use the “minus one” method in your life. This will help you understand things clearly because you will not be overwhelmed, with too much information. The “minus one” method is a way to reduce overload and really get what you need to know.
Making changes to the way you learn every day can really make a big difference. The brain does not require a lot of information all the time. It needs you to be smart and actively engaged in the learning process. If you use these learning tricks the things you learn will not just pass you by. The knowledge you gain from learning will actually stick with you. Daily learning is very important. It is good to make small tweaks to your daily learning routine.
