Finding the sweet spot between underinvestigation and “analytic stagnation” You know when you're procrastinating. Once you notice, start super studying.

Understand why you procrastinate: At some point, you have a desire within you that drives you to do something else, or an aversion that keeps you from doing the task at hand, or both.

How to solve procrastination?

Pomodoro Technique: Focus for 25 minutes, then rest for 5 minutes

Flow state: A pleasant state between boredom and ease when a task is neither too difficult nor too easy.

Practicing content at different times will help you retain more content than cramming them together.

Interleaved Learning Cost: Learning becomes increasingly difficult as learning time is spread out

The right balance: To achieve this goal, 50 minutes to an hour of study time is appropriate and you can handle many learning tasks.

environment

Task

brain itself

transfer learning

simulated environment

Concept: Put yourself in a very demanding environment so you don’t miss any important lessons or feedback

Application: Ask yourself where and how you want to apply your knowledge. Ask yourself if you have taken practical actions to connect what you have learned to the context in which it is applied.

Prerequisite: Careful

Training 1: Time segmentation

Exercise 2: Practice one part of it

Training 3: Imitation

Training 4: Magnifying glass method

Flash cards, free recall, problem sets, self-created challenges, closed book learning

We all intuitively feel that knowing whether what we are doing is right or wrong does speed up learning (but only in moderation)

Result feedback: Did you do it wrong? Feedback: What did you do wrong? Corrective Feedback: How You Fix Your Mistakes This type of feedback not only tells you what you did wrong, it also tells you how to fix it.

Immediate feedback is more effective than delayed feedback. Immediate feedback is best combined with delayed review (or further testing) to enhance retention

Strategy 1: Eliminate the Noise

Strategy 2: Reach the sweet spot

Strategy 3: Metafeedback

Strategy 4: High intensity, rapid feedback

Decline: forgetfulness over time

Interference: overwriting old memories with new ones

Forgotten clue: a locked box with no key

Memory Mechanism 1 Interval: Repeated Memory

Memory mechanism 2: Programmed: automatic persistence

Memory Mechanism 3: Strive for excellence: Practice makes perfect, beyond perfection

Memory Mechanism 4 Mnemonics: A picture is worth a thousand words

Rule 1: Don’t give up on a difficult problem easily Rule 2: Understand through proof Rule 3: Always start with a concrete example Rule 4: Don’t fool yourself

Application 1: Something you don’t understand at all Application 2: The problem you can’t seem to solve Application 3: Expand your intuition

Method: (1) Write the concept or question you want to understand at the top of a piece of paper. (2) In the space below, explain the idea as you would have to convince others to understand it. a. If this is a concept, ask yourself how you would convey this concept to someone who has never heard of it before. b. If this is a problem, explain how to solve it, and most importantly, explain how you understand the steps to solve it. (3) When you are stuck, that is, your understanding cannot provide a clear answer, turn to your books, notes, teachers, or reference materials to find the answer
