Second Brain

Second Brain

Our brains are great at coming up with new ideas but have a tough time storing the AMPLE amount of old knowledge. Think about how much information you are exposed to throughout the course of your day, especially on your phone!! Offloading that information onto a secondary system makes organization and retrieval of that information much more efficient. Also, it ensures you never lose valuable information

Feynman Technique

Feynman Technique

Explain your understanding of the material as if you were speaking to a fifth grader. As you try to simplify the concepts, you will likely expose gaps in knowledge that you can focus on for future revision sessions! Also, this is great practice as higher education professional work places will require you to communicate your work clearly to an audience that may be unfamiliar with the information!

Blurting Method

Blurting Method

One of my favorite ways to practice FREELY recalling information in order to optimize for comprehension long term retention. First open up your textbook or lecture and get familiar with a specific section of the material. Then close the source and write everything you can remember on a blank sheet of paper. Then open the source again and compare it, while also filling in any knowledge gaps and making necessary corrections. Each iteration you do will allow you to retain more information!

Avoid the traditional blocked practice for your revisions and opt for the more effective interleaved practice! Mixing up the types of questions and even modes of learning helps you maintain greater focus and concentration retain more information by creating contextual interference + simulating a more accurate representation of a testing environment.
