Learn faster:
Learn to learn faster than everyone else and you'll have a huge advantage over the them. Value learning above anything else and you will be greatly rewarded later. Learning is only very powerful when you implement in quickly.
Tips to Learn faster from: Jim Kwik
-Forget. be like a beginner and pretend you don't even know anything about it and forget about distractions
-Active. Take notes (handwriting preferably). Make notes on one side of what is said and on the other side write how you will use it.
-State. Your state of minds affects your learning. To remember information for the long-term, you need to combine it with emotion. As humans we remember (strong) emotions almost always.
-Teach it. With teaching you will learn it yourself again and you will understand it better.

💡 Remember that learning is useless if you don’t implement it (quickly) ! Never stop with learning, because otherwise you will stop growing!

Memorize:
- Visualize information to better remember it. Make a mindmap for exemple.
- Use the dual thinking process. You can think unconsciously and think focused. You will need both to come up with ideas and solutions. so the next time you can't solve a problem, make sure your mind is relaxed so that you can think unconsciously
- Use the feynman technique. Teach someone with your learning material in an easy to understand way. If you can't explain it in a simple way, then you need to learn more.
- Attach your information to something that you already know.
- Spread your learning sessions. With a lot of repetition you can remember a lot more. learn a little bit every day over a long period.
- When you are reading information that you want to remember. Then start reading it out loud.
- Chain learning method. Picture yourself in a story where you go through all your information. Use one of the following four points with your information to make your story weirder and thus more memorable.
- Substitution of dissimilar things
- An action that is not normal
- exaggerate very much
