It's important to let your brain relax for a while after a particularly intense session of study or practice, to give it time to connect the dots.One good way to practice this is using the Pomodoro Technique: you work on a project for 25 minutes, and then give yourself a 5-minute break.

Take Frequent Breaks

Nothing stimulates learning quite like curiosity.Take the lead of your learning journey. Seek answers from many sources. Don’t merely memorize theories and techniques—question them at every step. Think about why they matter, why they're relevant.

Be Curious

While studying the greats is essential, it is more of a passive exercise. In order to gain from it, you need to apply that learning to your own work as well.

Study the Greats, and Then Practice

Mentorship is perhaps the quickest way to take your skills to the next level. A mentor helps you navigate your field by offering invaluable perspective and experience.

Find A Mentor

Practice in itself is great, but if you’re practicing things you know well, you’re doing it wrong. In order to excel at any skill, you need to push yourself out of your comfort zone and practice things you aren't good at.

Practicing Things You Find Difficult

Learning styles (visual, auditory etc.) have actually little impact on our ability to learn.The best way to learn depends on what you’re trying to learn in the first place. The key is to interact with the information. Using multiple sources will help you with this. Don't stick to books alone—gather relevant videos, podcasts, movies, and blogs as well.

Ditch Your Learning Style

We learn best when we perform the tasks we’re trying to learn. No matter how good your grades were at college, most of your learning takes place once you enter the workplace and start applying what you've learned.

Learn by Doing

If you try to force yourself to just memorize random facts, you’re likely to forget them. We will most likely remember only the information that was meaningful to us, that we’ve been able to connect to our lives and our experiences.

Find Meaning In Learning

Testing even beats out methods such as re-reading and reviewing notes when it comes to making sure your learning sticks.Because it takes the recall process a step further. Recall shows how much of the material you remember. Testing shows you how well you can use what you've learned. After all, that is the ultimate goal of learning.

Test Yourself

One of the more surprising ways you can learn a new skill is to teach it to someone else.When we learn with the intention to teach, we break the material down into simple, understandable chunks for ourselves. It also forces us to examine the topic more critically and thoroughly, helping us to understand it better.

Teach What You Learn

We tend to think about gaining new skills like we think about winning the lottery: "Gee, it'd sure be nice..." "...Think of all I could do with those new skills and abilities!" "...But the odds of achieving this are so small... mmm, gonna pass."
