Learning Rituals and New Discoveries

To include from session on education, pics and all could be changed…

First of all

-          Serenity Now—the pic Seinfeld-

-          start positively!!

-          We need to address some of the flaws of education

-          Students learn because they are told to

-          Do not enjoy learning

-          Just want the damn high grades

-          Then the access to university

The learning curve

-          How much we forget after the first reading/day

-          Various models are available

-          But they mostly expose the fact that:

-          We Forget What we learn!

-          Almost completely

What to Do?

-          Teach others- for example take what you learn from here and

-          Explain it to friends and mates

Find what kind of a person you are

-          Morning

-          Night

-          Then try and learn in the best possible scenario, the optimal

-          Time

Introduce Flow

-          goals, feedback, concentration

-          set your goals

-          get feedback and concentrate

-          eliminate noise, distractions

-          getting back to the point where you were after 2 hours of work

-          Can take half an hour, after being interrupted!!

Remember

-          the chair kills

-          And getting some physical exercise helps the brain be more Efficient!

-          Don’t just glue yourself to the desk thinking there is not time to…”WASTE”

-          A short activity, walk outdoors would do wonders

-          You will assimilate better with a brief pause

-          Than with hours of interrupted reading

Important!!

-          Having suggested a break, I must Highlight

-          Interruptions can be disruptive

-          Sometimes there is a benefit, a new idea may come up

-          But getting interrupted can be damaging, especially if repeated

-          Studies show that after two hours of work on a subject requiring intense concentration, an interruption can require an additional 30 minutes to get back to where we were

-          Learn to fail or fail to learn

-          Don’t worry about a thing

-          Outliers and the 10,000 hours

-          Find your calling:

-          Love to learn

-          Find the subjects you really like

-          This is what you will do most of your life!!

-          Sleep well
