Hey guys,
Quick post today,
How many times have you read something or listened to something and a week later totally forgot everything!?!?
why does this happen? how can you prevent it? how can you learn better? how can you retain what you have learned?
The quick answer and something to try:
By making learning an ACTIVE process, by getting INVOLVED. What that means is if you are listening to somebody speak, ask questions, take notes, if you are reading something highlight the important points, or make your own notes in the columns.
Just imagine if you didn't know how to play basketball how would you learn?
What do you think would get you better results, sitting in a classroom all day reading books studying how to dribble, how to do a layup, how to pass the ball? Or getting on the court, listening to a coach and then practicing and actually DOING the drills?
Its the same with everything you want to learn, become involved.
So I encourage you if you read this blog not just to read it but to leave comments and do the same anywhere else you read something that you want to learn, It will FORCE YOU to think about what you are reading, to become active in the learning and will increase your retention.
