I love this simple idea about learning: information sticks better if you learn it in smaller chunks over time and forget a little bit in between.
It’s the exact opposite of cramming like we did in college. 😆
👉 Teach Yourself How to Learn Better
As it turns out, forgetting the information for a while helps makes it stick for longer if you revisit it later. 🤯. It may seem odd, but it make sense.
If you force your brain to bring back knowledge it’s starting to forget, then it puts a sticker to remind itself it shouldn’t forget.
This same idea came up here a few months ago in a different post. And seeing it again now, fittingly enough, really solidifies the concept for me. 🙃
