“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” Congratulations! If you are reading this quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes, you have already embarked on the journey of becoming a super learner. This quote cannot stress enough on the fact that if you can harness neuroscience to your advantage, the day isn’t far away when you can grapple and retain a huge load of information.
Whether you are a student or a professional, everyone has enough brainpower to master memory cells. Learning induces permanent changes to the brain and helps it grow by making more neuronal connections, and hence the better retaining power. So, if you are using the right tools and approaches there's nothing you can't do. With this in mind, let’s see some of the easy and effective methods to become a super learner.
Reading is a vigorous exercise for the brain. The most successful people are passionate about reading and dedicated to lifelong learning. Whether it's Elon Musk who reads 2 books a day or Bill Gates who reads 50 books a year, they don’t take reading as a chore. Reading enriches your brain with new thoughts, ideas, and theories. Build a habit of reading daily; the more you read the faster you will read and who knows you are the next one in the list of super learners?
Quality matters more than quantity. Learning should be deep. The quality of input should be high. It’s okay even if you are able to read a single book in a fortnight but make sure you consume it nicely instead of focusing on skimming 3 books meanwhile. Don’t run after speed reading. If you want to read more, read regularly, and appreciate what you read.
How many hours do you spend on learning and executing what you have learned? Well, people give their brains a lot of input to process but what about generating the output? Ideally, one should put twice the efforts on output as compared to the input. Implement new skills you have learned or use that new language often, make the learning process bigger and better by adding your own thoughts to it. Create, innovate, and let the learning get absorbed deep into the memory cells.
If you want to hack your learning skills, shun the habit of multitasking. For taking your memory into an entirely new level, give undivided attention to your read and avoid disrupting the quality of your input. A solid comprehension and effective absorption are only possible if you do single-tasking. Remember that multitasking while reading is no lesser than brain drain!
Exhilarated and raring to become a super-learner? Then here is a tip you must follow before giving this idea a green light. Make the process strategic. Rather than delving straight into reading and learning for 3 hours a day, split the whole period into smaller sections for successful memorization. Try by planning for 6 days, 30 minutes per day. Because it's not just learning or reading, one also needs to give time to strengthen memory encoding to become a super-learner.
There are some exciting online courses and apps that claim to boost memory and impart super-learning. So why not make the best use of the internet instead of getting sucked into social media the entire day. Here are some suggestions:
1. Super Learning: The Complete Accelerated Learning Course
2. Become a SuperLearner - The Master Class
3. Super-learning systems
4. SuperLearning Brain Stimulation
There is a deep pleasure in learning something new. But to achieve successful results from these tips, you have to put in sincere efforts. There is a possibility that before developing a habit, you might feel stressed and drop the idea (which is usually 2 weeks as per the studies). Don't worry, we have got your back! From day one, make this as your mantra: I have to aim big with small and daily steps. It will be just a matter of time when you will come out with flying colors. Oops! It may sound better if we say it as a super learner.
Good Luck!
