Habits that actually boost learning

If you're not learning effectively, it's NOT just because you're not trying hard enough.

Problem

It's likely that you're falling victim to these common traps:

• Relying solely on memorization instead of understanding concepts.

• Ignoring the importance of downtime for your brain to process information.

• Letting stress take over your learning environment, shutting down your ability to absorb new ideas.

• Believing multitasking boosts productivity when it actually hinders retention.

Solution

Here's how you up your learning game:

• Embrace mistakes as a natural part of the learning process. They help reinforce your understanding.

• Prioritize sleep. It's your brain's cheat code for memory consolidation.

• Incorporate movement into your routine. It enhances cognition and creativity.

• Foster a sense of psychological safety in your learning environment to reduce stress.

Don’t let ineffective habits hold you back.
