Learn how to Learn

If you’re anything like me, the only things you remember from school are embarrassing moments. Like the time I went to the wrong classroom.

But it can be fun to learn something new. Here are a few tricks to help out.

• 30 second rule – so simple but so effective. After you read an article, attend a lecture or listen to a podcast, simply write down the most important parts. Bonus points if you explain them to someone. This will help you organize and retain the information.
• 5 hour rule – a workout for your brain. Just like exercising an hour a day, spend an hour learning something too. Set personal goals, track them and learn every day, no matter how busy you are. Used by moguls like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet, it’s a major ingredient for success.
• Free learning course – intensive learning. For those who want to dig deeper, Coursera has a free curriculum to help you master learning.
