Key takeaways from A podcast by Ankur Warikoo

Listen to this episode from Woice with Warikoo Podcast on Spotify. We never really set out to make mistakes intentionally. We reflect upon our previous actions and determine whether they were mistakes or not. And we learn from them to grow.   In this episode, I am sharing a few mistakes I think I made in my younger years. Looking back to my 20’s, I am glad that I went through those mistakes.

Mistakes I made in my 20’s

<ul><li>Take a break of five minutes after every 20 minutes of studying.&nbsp;</li><li>Reward yourself at the end of the day by allowing yourself time to browse the internet so that you stay motivated.</li></ul>

20/5 

<ul><li>Recognition and recollection are two diffferent things.&nbsp;</li><li>When you highlight every little piece of information, you will only recognize the text.&nbsp;</li><li>The best method is to read a concept and try recollecting and reciting in your own words.</li></ul>

Ditch the highlighter

<ul><li>Survey the material</li><li>Question the content</li><li>Read the chapter</li><li>Recollect key points and concepts</li><li>Review later </li></ul>
