Human time is limited, and there are only 24 hours in a day. Perhaps you often feel that you are running out of time. There is so much work to do every day, and time to study. At the same time, people also need more time for socializing and recreational activities.
If we can learn more efficiently (rather than work harder) and acquire knowledge faster, it may be a good way to "save time". Learning how to study effectively is a skill that people should master in their everyday lives.The following is a brief introduction to some learning methods.
Know your study type.
Before you can learn effectively, you must first understand your own learning patterns. There are three types of learning, and the vast majority of people are one of them. Even if you are a mixture of both learning styles, it can be very helpful to at least know which learning mode is not working for you.
1. Visual learners learn primarily by reading and seeing. These people generally choose to actively sit in the first row or the second row, and have good study habits.In the process of listening to the class, they may be accustomed to recall the knowledge they heard before, in this way to improve memory. Images and colors can help them learn effectively.
2. Auditory learners are more inclined to learn by listening. They usually pick positions in the classroom where they can hear clearly. In the process of listening to the lecture, he may suddenly "teach to himself", or suddenly start to recite the text, in this way to improve his memory.They prefer to review texts by retelling rather than writing, and enjoy creating learning opportunities that they can discuss with others.
3. Motor learners like to learn through touch and movement. They like to point fingers and feet in the process of learning, and they have to take a break after learning for a while, and the movements of their hands and bodies are also very rich in the process of talking with people. They like operational jobs like cooking, construction, engineering, etc. and like to walk around when they are bored.
Guaranteed sleep time
Not only does lack of sleep make you feel depressed, it can also cause your memory to deteriorate. Therefore, ensuring at least 8 hours of sleep time can keep the brain in good shape when learning.
Create the perfect learning environment
The learning environment should be quiet, comfortable and undisturbed. When you're back in your room, close the door and eliminate as many distractions as possible, such as music, TV shows, and even the Internet and your phone. If you don't have a room for independent study, consider studying in the library.
Learn to simplify
Learn to use mnemonic characters like abbreviations, sentences, as these mnemonics have been proven to improve learning efficiency.
Case in point: You can use the initials, acronym "CAKE" to help you remember that you need store-bought cheese, apples, kale, and eggs.
In addition, you can summarize the information into a comparison table, chart or mind map, these tools will help you learn the information faster.
Take the time to digest what you've learned.
Allowing some time between learning new things or skills will help people gain a deeper grasp of what they are learning. This gives the mind (subconscious mind) and body (muscle memory) enough time to absorb, adapt, or adjust to the new skills you're trying to learn.
