Basic principles of good learning

Anyone can use these basic principles to make learning more effective.

  1. Learn from your mistakes. Instead of repeating information over and over, think about what you did right and what you did wrong.

  3. Teach others the same skill. Consider sharing the skill you're learning with someone you know.
