You don’t constantly keep making new neaurons in your brain that is a misconception. Rather we strengthen existing neurons and create new connections in your brain

How To Learn New Things As An Adult

The typical learning bout should be 90 minutes that is a good amount of time

How Long Should You Learn 

<ul><li>You can also accelerate learning by doing brief naps after your learning for about 20 minutes that helps tremendously</li><li>Not focusing or thinking about any specific after a bout of learning can significantly improve the rate at which is you attain knowledge </li></ul>

Other Tips On Learning 

Be invested in your learning tell other people let other people hold you accountable for the things that you committed to do but be careful if you get enough praise you can receive too much dopamine and not end up doing the task. You could also have a negative consequence like giving money to a friend

Be Invested in Your Learning 

You can improve your focus while learning by focus on a small part of your screen for 90-120 seconds at a time it will help your whole brain focus

Improve Your Focus 

The first step in learning something new is to prime your brain and let your brain know that you are about to learn something new by focusing. Every experience doesn’t change your brain only the ones that are specific so consciously make a decision to learn something new. Your brain doesn’t automatically change

First Step In Learning Something New 

Make sure you are attentive while learning anything. Some ways that you can be attentive is by <ol><li>Drinking caffeine </li><li>Staying fully Hydra</li></ol>

Be Attentive While Learning 

We spend so much time learning this podcast describes why we should try to learn more effectively 

This episode introduces neuroplasticity—which is how our brain and nervous system learn and acquire new capabilities. I describe the differences between childhood and adult neuroplasticity, the chemicals involved and how anyone can increase their rate and depth of learning by leveraging the science of focus. I describe specific tools for increasing focus and learning. The next two episodes will cover the ideal protocols for specific types of learning and how to make learning new information more reflexive.

Huberman Lab discusses neuroscience: how our brain and its connections with the organs of our body control our perceptions, our behaviors, and our health. We also discuss existing and emerging tools for measuring and changing how our nervous system works. Dr. Andrew Huberman is a tenured professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. His laboratory studies neural regeneration, neuroplasticity, and brain states such as stress, focus, fear, and optimal performance. For more than 20 years, Dr. Huberman has consistently published original research findings and review articles in top-level peer-reviewed journals, including Nature, Science, Cell, Neuron, and Current Biology. He is a regular member of several National Institutes of Health review panels and a Fellow of the McKnight Foundation and the Pew Charitable Trusts. Dr. Huberman regularly consults for technology development companies, professional athletic organizations, and various units of U.S. and Canadian Special Operations.
