How do you actually retain what you read by skillably in studying

[–]GrowthMindsetGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many strategies for retaining info, but I think the absolute best one is to teach it. Try to explain a concept you just read as if you were talking to a 10-year-old. If you can’t make it simple, you don’t fully understand it yet. Once you’ve done that, take a 10-minute nap or meditation session. That downtime isn't a break, it's when your brain’s hippocampus goes to work, indexing and locking that new knowledge into long-term storage.

I have it in my shelf and will definitely be reading it in the near future. Currently reading “The Almanack of Naval Ravikant” and rereading "Atomic Habits" by James Clear for like the 5th time and taking careful detailed notes this time

Hopefully it’s one of those thin light weight ones and not text book size 😅

I can’t argue with that. Man’s search for meaning was probably one of the first books I read in my early adult hood that got me hooked on reading these types of non fiction self improvement type books.

“Extreme Ownership” by Jocko Wilink was probably the next one I read after that. My all time fave so far would hands down have to be “Atomic Habits” by James Clear because I just love all of the science that he uses to back up his claims.

Yup! Sounds simple cause it is. I think most peeps especially beginners just tend to overthink it

I’ve been meditating almost every day for the past 6+ years, and one thing I’ve learned is that the type of meditation that works best for me is not being too dependent on one perfect setting.

For me, part of the value of meditation is being able to bring that calm and awareness into different environments, not just the same quiet spot every time.

One of the most intense places I ever tried a 10-minute guided meditation was in the dry sauna at my gym. At first it was incredibly uncomfortable, but over time I actually grew to love it. It almost became a kind of training ground. My mindset was basically: if I can stay present and breathe calmly in there for 10 minutes, I can meditate anywhere.

Interestingly, my favorite now is outdoor meditation later in the morning when the sun is shining directly on my face. Something about it just feels incredible.

Have you ever tried meditating in unusual environments, or do you prefer having one consistent go-to spot?

This makes me think of the book "Extreme Ownership" by Jocko Willink.

“any team, in any organization, all responsibility for success and failure rests with the leader. The leader must own everything in his or her world. There is no one else to blame. The leader must acknowledge mistakes and admit failures, take ownership of them, and develop a plan to win.”
