The Learning Phase
- Learn enough to get started.
- Playing around with the information will give context and tacit knowledge to go back and do more verbal, analytic learning.
- Learn enough to do something useful with it.
- Teach. It is the only way to know for sure that you’ve learned something and a great way to fill in the gaps in your learning.

The Research Phase
- Get the big picture. Scan articles etc. to get an idea of what the field is about.
- Determine scope. Limit the size of what you want to learn. “Physics” or “philosophy” is too wide and will take decades. “Classical mechanics”, while still wide, might be a bit easier.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
