Here’s your homework for today:

1. Pick something you’ve been trying to learn.
2. Go through each of the five ingredients. Which is missing or weak?
3. What’s one way you could add it in?
4. Go to the comments page and write down your response!

Bookworms almost never miss #1 (instruction), but often miss #2 (retrieval). Practitioners get #3 (spacing) and #5 (feedback) for free, but may miss out on #1. A lot of improvements to your routine can come from simply hitting all five.

That’s it for today’s lesson. On Monday, July 6th, I’m going to be reopening Rapid Learner , my six-week learning course. This course covers all of these ingredients in more depth, along with other strategies for improving how you learn.
