How to Learn Quicker.

You may not be a natural at something, but you can learn in a manner that will make you a natural in a short time. After heavy self experimenting, I have figured out three ways to learn quickly that work on most people. The three ways are:

Have you ever noticed that if your desk is untidy, your mind is cloudy? You are confused and procrastinate more than usual, this is because an untidy desk leads to an untidy mind. This happens because the mess on your desk distracts you, your attention shifts in between all the things on your desk. The lack of focus means you have a less working memory, therefore you learn less and you learn slower. Having a clean desk will minimalise distractions and maximise focus, which will help to learn quickly, clean your desk now so that you can learn the important points in this article quicker.

If you are trying to learn a new skill, you will learn faster by practising the skill. I am currently picking up the skill of making short movies on my iPhone, I made one last month and I am in the process of making another. Being practical also helps you to learn the things a textbook can’t teach you, a textbook and the real world are two very different entities. The best time to pick up a skill is now at home and you have some free time to experiment, then go and figure things out. A multi-talented person is a valuable asset and is appreciated where ever they go.

Life is more fun when you expand your skillset, you get to know yourself and the skills that you practice now may help you in the future.

This is not a method I invented but it does apply to books. Start by opening a chapter of the book you are reading and skim through the chapter, flip through the pages. At the end of most non-fiction books, there is a summary of the points, read those points after you flip through the pages.

Once you have read the points, read the chapter and highlight whatever you felt was important. Once you are done with this, focus on learning and understanding those points thoroughly.

I found that learning a chapter normally takes me an hour, with this method I can learn better and faster in half an hour. Try for yourself.

To conclude these are three methods that I have used to learn faster, I advise you to be consistent with your learning as it is the small steps you take every day that boosts your ability to learn quickly.
