Learning should be systematic and process, and everyone should have their previous learning system.
A good learning system can really achieve twice the result with half the effort. Slow learning and poor learning may not be a problem of IQ, because most people have the same IQ, and there are too few high IQs, so it is very likely to be the learning method. There is a problem with the learning system.
In addition to learning the system, there are several prerequisites for wanting to learn fast :
1. Keep a healthy body, keep a good routine , if you are sick or lacking energy, even if you continue to study, it will be inefficient. Therefore, eat well, sleep well, and study well.
2. If you love what you want to learn , love can keep you focused, and at the same time make you passionate and not sleepy. If you want to do what you want to do, then continue to persevere with the emotion of love.
My current learning process :
1. Use 2/3 of the day to learn and understand the knowledge in the book/article/video. During the learning process, you can use the Pomodoro Technique to learn, 25 minutes to learn, and 5 minutes to relax yourself (you can listen to music) , and then keep repeating. (If you want to deeply understand a certain piece of knowledge, you can use the Feynman learning method)
2. Use 1/3 of the day to review . It is best to review at night. If you don’t review that day, forgetting will reach about 70%.
3. Review it again the next day, record the review time, review it again on the fourth day, and review it again on the eighth day. If you still can’t remember it, continue to review it. ( Ebbinghaus memory )
Here, review is the key , otherwise, what you have learned will be quickly forgotten. After forgetting, it is basically the same as never learned, and the details are difficult to remember.
Of course, this learning process is not the most perfect, and the defects found in the learning process can be continuously improved.
Feynman study method :
Original from Quora: How can you learn faster
Choose a concept you want to understand, then take a blank sheet of paper and write the concept on the top of the blank sheet.
Write down your explanation of the concept on a blank sheet of paper as if you were teaching a student who was new to the concept. As you do this, you will become more aware of how much you understand about the concept, and whether there are still areas that are unclear.
Whenever you feel stuck, go back to the original study material and relearn the part that got you stuck until you get it smooth enough to explain it on paper.
The ultimate goal is to explain concepts in your own language, not in the language of the study material. If your explanation is lengthy or confusing, your understanding of the concept may not be as smooth as you think -- You try to simplify the language expression, or create an analogy with existing knowledge to better understand it.
