How to Learn

Hello everyone ! welcome to our first session where I will share few methods to be a smart learner. All of us know how to learn but here I tried to consolidate few important tips which we should follow while learning Technical stuffs.

1) Slow Down                  
Don’t just read. Stop and think. When the book asks you a question, don’t just skip to the answer. Imagine that someone really is asking the question. The more deeply you force your brain to think, the better chance you have of learning and remembering.
                                                                                                                             

2) Do the Exercises and Take Your Own Notes

Don’t just look at the exercises. Go through it and try to answer the questions. If you are unable to answer any question then it’s fair to check the solution and understand the concept.

                                         


3) Don’t  Try to Learn Multiple Things
After Reading or listening something, actual data transfer starts when you stop learning it. Brain need some time on its own, to do more processing. If are putting something during processing time, some of what you just learned will be lost.
                                                                                                                

4) Drink Water
Your brain works best in a nice bath of fluid. Dehydration (which can happen before you ever feel thirsty) decreases cognitive function.
                                   

5) Use Pencil 
Use a pencil and note important points. If you have done any mistake then you can erase or modify it any time J. There’s plenty of evidence that physical activity while learning can increase the learning.
                                                                                                     

6) Listen to Your Brain
Pay attention to whether your brain is getting overloaded. If you find yourself starting to skim the surface or forget what you just read, it’s time for a break.
                                

7) Feel Something
Your brain needs to know that this matters. Get involved with the stories. Make up your own captions for the photos. Groaning over a bad joke is still better than feeling nothing at all.
                                                                                                                 


And the most important thing: Always remember your Aim



-I hope you enjoyed this post and now we are ready to start this long technical Journey together
