Your Cup May Be Overflowing

 

To learn you need to unlearn and relearn and associate your learning with something in your daily life.  You cannot keep learning new information unless you  revise and practise for improving retention. To improve memory and learning, you need to practice the newly learnt information over and over again. Just taking in new information would be like pouring tea in a cup, which will eventually be full and over flow untill you consume some tea, that is ustise the learning practically.

Reading and knowing about new things brings immese intellectual satisfaction, but it does not necessarily guarantee retention. To assure yourself of adding value by spending time to learn new things, we must challenge ourselves by putting them into practise in different ways in our daily schedule.

According to an article in APA, learning performance is enhanced if students engage in deliberate practice. 

A Youtube video of certified speaker, corporate trainer and guinness record holder on memory, Nishant Kasibhatla talks of how repetition significantly increases learning and additionally chunking information and associating it helps in improving memory. 


How many of us read and not apply the things we read? Not everything we read is appicable to us or not every piece of knowledge is useful. But few things can be life changing if applied. Agree?
