Study Less, Learn More – Learning Strategies

Monday, December 6, 2010
Create a mix of basic learning strategies to study less and learn more for your academic studies, professional development or business improvement. Try practicing one or a mix of any number of these learning strategies and develop them to learning habits.

1. Be curious and excited.

Inculcate curiosity and anticipation in everything you want to learn. Start and end each lesson or topic with questions you have thought of that provoke your thoughts.


2. Condition your mind for receiving information.

Be receptive of the lessons you are studying. Have a mindset of getting new ideas every time you study or read.

3. Connect new lessons to old ones.

Upon studying a new lesson, figure out relationships it has with previous lessons. When reading new sources, recall stock knowledge that it has connection with.

4. Take breaks.

Learn more by studying less. There are stretches in your study or reading wherein your brain is no longer receptive to ideas. Continuing and forcing yourself will be just a waste of time and effort. You will be better off taking a break and resuming after around ten minutes break.

5. Relate your learning to the real world.

Use your imagination and ask yourself how you can apply the specific lesson in the real world. It will add to the retention of the lesson and will prepare you for actually applying your learning.

Start applying these learning strategies and you will be on your way to being a life-long and constant learner.
