Students and learners: MORE RULES OF GOOD STUDYING

 

MORE RULES OF GOOD STUDYING

One of the first steps toward gaining expertise in your work is to create conceptual chunks — mental leaps that unite scattered bits of information through meaning. 


An example is driving a car and it involves the ability to creatively mix together various mini-chunks and chunks in your eye, hand, foot skills as well as technical knowledge of the car. 


Chunk your problems. 
Chunking is understanding and practicing with a problem solution so that it can all come to mind in a flash. After you solve a problem, rehearse it. Make sure you can solve it cold - every step.

 Or pretend it’s a song and learn to play it over and over again in your mind, so the information combines into one smooth chunk you can pull up whenever you want.
