This course on how to learn is designed with life-long learning in mind for you to become a superlearner. Taking a holistic approach, we will explore the different areas and techniques that will make your study sessions engaging, avoid procrastination, and make study fun and stress-free.
The course is targeted for both students and people seeking adult education help, who work and want to increase their productivity and develop their career further. In fact, it is targeted for adults who want to keep learning efficiently for life to achieve personal success.
Within the course, we will first start by looking at time management. Specifically, how to efficiently process the huge amount of information that we receive on a daily basis. We will form the basis of a system that handles all the information. Then, we will talk about the importance of motivation, mood, nutrition, and exercise, and the role they play in learning and how to use them in our favour to enhance our learning capabilities. Then, we will learn a technique to create our study guide, a guide that will turn unstructured documentation into a highly customised learning highway. Effective use of time and recall is the following topic, where we will learn techniques to use time and recall efficiently the information we have previously learned, as well as techniques as important as the use of spaced repetition with software like Anki. Last but not least, we will talk about focus, a very important aspect to learning in order to decrease the study time while maximising productivity.
