Learning Techniques

Ive  started a new book today (limitless), that has discussed a technique for  learning new things,  Its called FASTER

F - Forget, when learning something, read about it as if you've never come across the subject before. You retain more if you approach something with an open mind.

A - Act, do something physical to help remember it - take hand written notes. 

S - State of mind, try to have a positive and interested state of mind, if you engage more with the reading material it tends to stick.

T - Teach, learn as if you have to teach the material, in that way you have to learn it twice, once for yourself and once for the presentation.

E - Enter, Enter it into a journal (or blog like this one).

R - Review it, going over it will help it stay in long term memory.
