QuestionAnswer
What is the FASTER Method for accelerated learning? Forget (limitations/distractions). Act (take notes/ask questions). State (manage posture/mood). Teach (learn with intent to explain). Enter (schedule time). Review (spaced intervals). Key: Shift from passive to active.
How do you kill ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts)? 1. Identify: Catch the thought ("I can't learn this"). 2. Name it: Call it an ANT to distance yourself. 3. Flip it: Replace with positive opposite ("I am learning how to learn"). Fact: Negative thoughts physically inhibit brain function.
What are the "7 Lies" of Learning? 1. Intelligence is fixed. 2. We only use 10% of our brain. 3. Mistakes are failures. 4. Knowledge is power (No, Action is power). 5. Learning is difficult. 6. Criticism matters. 7. Genius is born. Reject these to unlock potential.
Explain the "4 Stages of Competence" (The path to mastery). 1. Unconscious Incompetence (You don't know what you don't know). 2. Conscious Incompetence (Aware of the gap). 3. Conscious Competence (Requires focus/effort). 4. Unconscious Competence (Automatic mastery/Flow).
The Limitless Motivation Formula? Motivation = Purpose × Energy × Small Simple Steps (S³). You need a clear Why (Purpose), the biological fuel to do it (Energy), and a task small enough to bypass resistance (S³). Missing one kills the drive.
What is the "Flow State" formula? Challenge vs. Skill. The task must be slightly harder (~4%) than your current skill level. Too hard = Anxiety. Too easy = Boredom. Requirement: Elimination of all external distractions and a 15-minute "struggle" period.
Top 10 Brain Foods (Neuro-nutrition)? 1. Avocados (Blood flow). 2. Blueberries (Antioxidants). 3. Broccoli (Vitamin K). 4. Dark Chocolate (Focus). 5. Eggs (Choline/Memory). 6. Green Leafy Veg. 7. Salmon (Omega-3). 8. Turmeric (Anti-inflammation). 9. Walnuts. 10. Water.
"Small Simple Steps" (Zeigarnik Effect)? The brain naturally wants to close "open loops." By starting a task with a tiny step (e.g., "Open book"), you open a loop. The brain will then push you to finish the task to close the loop. Motion creates emotion.
Why is Sleep critical for Memory? Sleep clears beta-amyloid plaques (metabolic waste) from the brain. It also consolidates short-term memories into long-term storage. Protocol: Dark room, cool temp (65°F), no blue light 60 mins before bed.
The Pomodoro Technique (Specifics)? Work for 25 minutes (single-task), Break for 5 minutes. After 4 cycles, take a 20-minute break. Crucial: The break must involve movement/breathing, NOT high-dopamine screens, to allow the brain to reset.
The TIP Method for Note-Taking? Think (What is the core concept?). Identify (How does this apply to my life/goals?). Prioritize (Mark the top 3 actionable points). Goal: Filter information, don't just record it.
The HEAR Method for Active Listening? Halt (Stop all other activities). Empathy (Step into the speaker's emotional shoes). Anticipate (Curiously predict where the point is going). Review (Summarize the conversation immediately after).
Primacy and Recency Effects? We remember the Beginning (Primacy) and End (Recency) of a session best; the middle gets lost. Tactic: Break study time into shorter chunks (Pomodoro) to create more "beginnings" and "ends."
How to handle Digital Deluge & Dementia? Deluge: Too much info = overwhelm. Cure: Set strict boundaries on input time. Dementia: Outsourcing memory to devices atrophy the brain. Cure: Memorize phone numbers/facts intentionally to keep the hippocampus active
The MOM Framework for Memory? Motivation (Create a personal reward for remembering). Observation (Be present; most forgetting is just lack of attention). Methods (Apply a specific tool like Loci or Linking).
The "Method of Loci" (Memory Palace) Mechanics? A: 1. Location: Select a familiar space (Home). 2. Path: Define a specific route (e.g., Clockwise). 3. Encoding: Turn list items into exaggerated images. 4. Placement: Deposit images on furniture/zones along the path. 5. Review: Walk the path mentally.
The Linking/Chain Method? A: Connect Item A to Item B using Action, Exaggeration, and Illogic. The end of Image A must interact with the start of Image B. Best for: Short lists where order matters but you don't need a full palace.
Remembering Names (BE SUAVE)? Believe (Confidence). Exercise (Practice). Say it (Auditory lock). Use it (Reinforce). Ask (Origin/Meaning hooks context). Visualize (Attach image to a facial feature). End (Say it goodbye).
The Peg System (Sun List 1-5)? A pre-memorized list of "hooks" for ordered lists. 1=Sun, 2=Shoes, 3=Traffic Light, 4=Table, 5=Star (points). Associate the item to be remembered with the visual hook (e.g., Item 1 burning in the Sun).
The Major System (Numbers to Words)? Convert digits to consonant sounds: 0=s/z, 1=t/d, 2=n, 3=m, 4=r, 5=L, 6=j/sh, 7=k/g, 8=f/v, 9=p/b. Add vowels to make words. Example: 32 = Moon. Memorize the image "Moon," not the number.
Mental "Cleaning" of a Memory Palace? To reuse a location, vividly visualize a destructive force clearing the previous images. Examples: A fire hose washing it clean, a bomb vaporizing contents, or a wind tunnel. Ensure the space feels "empty" before reloading.
Remembering "Where I Put It"? Verbalize the Action. Explicitly say aloud "I am placing my glasses on the counter." This forces the brain to move from unconscious habit to conscious observation, creating a searchable memory tag.
Speed Reading & Critical Thinking How a Visual Pacer Increases Speed? A: Using a finger/pen reduces Saccadic Movements (eyes jumping back) and Fixation Time (pausing on words). It leverages the eye's instinct to follow motion, pulling your focus forward through the text.
Eliminating Subvocalization (Inner Voice)? The brain sees faster than the mouth speaks. To break the habit of "reading aloud inside," engage the auditory brain elsewhere: listen to instrumental music (Baroque) or tap a rhythmic beat while scanning.
Peripheral Vision Expansion? Soften focus to see the whole page. Avoid "Hard Focus" on individual letters. Look at the center of the line and perceive the beginning/end words with peripheral vision. Result: You take in phrases/chunks rather than single words.
Six Thinking Hats (Edward de Bono)? White (Data/Facts), Red (Emotions/Gut), Black (Risks/Caution), Yellow (Positives/Benefits), Green (Creativity/Growth), Blue (Process/Manager). Use: Wear one "hat" at a time to prevent confused thinking.
Second-Order Thinking? Asking "And then what?" Look beyond the immediate outcome (First Order) to the future consequences of that outcome. Example: Eating sugar -> Taste good (1st) -> Insulin spike/Crash (2nd) -> Missed workout (3rd).
Spaced Repetition Schedule? Review material just before you are about to forget it. Optimal intervals: 1 hour, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months. This flattens the "Forgetting Curve" and moves info to long-term memory.
The Feynman Technique? 1. Choose a concept. 2. Explain it in simple terms (no jargon) as if to a child. 3. Identify gaps where you struggle. 4. Review source material to fill gaps. 5. Simplify again. True mastery is simplicity.
Habit Stacking (Implementation)? Link a new behavior to an established neural pathway. Formula: "After I [Current Habit], I will [New Habit]." Example: "After I pour coffee, I will drink a glass of water." The old habit becomes the trigger.
Input vs. Output Ratio? For every minute of Input (Reading/Watching), spend a minute on Output (Writing/Doing/Teaching). Information is passive; Learning is active. You must create something with the data to retain it.
