We need to document the process, this way we never need to research again on the same topic.

Document the process

We must review the topics we study at regular intervals in order for them to remain in our memory for a long period.

Revise your learning at spaced intervals

<ol><li>When you share, you are helping and inspire others with your ideas.</li><li>You are on the right track not to consume mindlessly but learn something and share your own creation.</li></ol>

Share your learnings with others

We must learn to recognize and restrict our usage of our social media. So we may enjoy some peace and rethink our future.

Have some Dopamine detox

I have learned a lot of lessons while consuming youtube and Tiktok Videos. Here are the few learnings that I wanted to share and save for future reference.

Record while consuming the content that resonates with you

I never considered documenting or taking notes from YouTube videos or books we read. after some time I completely forget what I watched, so when I need something, I go to Google and look it up again. It gives me nearly identical web pages to those I've seen before. As a result, I'll have to repeat the entire research process. This looks to be time-consuming. I was pondering why humans don't recall things for long periods of time. Why do we need to go through everything again?

Then one day I come across the videos of Ali Abdaal. where he talks about the topics like the method of study, Second brain, productivity, how to remember everything, etc. It seems like he made those videos to help me.

Those lessons are so valuable to me. I have learned about having the documentation of the work that we are doing. We won't have to go through the entire research process again in the near future if we've previously taken notes.

When we watching any video or lecture it seems like we understand everything. and we will never forget it. but this is not true.

As per the theory by <a href="https://g.co/kgs/a9z4og">Hermann Ebbinghaus </a>, Whatever we learn we forgot half of it in few minutes or 1 hour. After 1 day we remember only 33%. after 2 days it will remain only 28%.

Rate of learning = rate of forgetting.

If we don't recall what we learn, we will forget. So it's important to get some takeaways to recall. If you recall the learning material in a spaced interval, it will stay for a long time in your memory.

To remember things for a long time we need actively recall/revise them in the spaced intervals. Like in a day, or week or month, etc.

If you are reading a book or you have learned something new, you need to share that. Two reasons Why?

<ol><li>When you share, you are helping and inspire others with your ideas. </li><li>You are on the right track not to consume mindlessly but learn something and share your own creation. </li> </ol>
