Learning How To Learn...

I was checking hackerz web-site while i found this interesting post ,
and i want to share it with you :)

What can you do to bend your mind into submission ?

1-Slow down .the more you understand,the less you have to memorize.

Don't just read, stop and think. When book asks you questions, don't just skip
to answers.
The more you deeply you force your brain to think, the better chance you have
to remember.


2-Do the exercises. write your own notes.

Don't just look at exercises, use your pencil.
You must know that physical activity while learning can increase the learning.


3-There are No Dumb Questions !

That means all questions.They are part of the core content, Don't skip them.


4-Don't do all your reading in one place.


5 - Make this the last thing you read before bed. Or at least the last challenging thing.

Your brain needs times on its own, to do more processing.
If you put in something new during that processing time, some of what you just
learned will be lost.


6- Drink water. Lots of it.

Your brain works best in a nice bath of fluid. Dehydration decreases cognitive function.


7 - 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 is time for a break.


8 - Talk about it. Out loud.

Better still, try to explain it out loud to someone else. You will learn more quickly.


9 - Feel something!

Your brain needs to know that this matters.
Get involved with the stories.


10 - Type and run the code. Or design something!

Apply this to something new you are designing or refactor an older project.
Just do anything to get some experience.
