These are my notes on the video How to Learn Anything 5X Faster | ng-conf & Thinkster.io | #ngconf by Joe Eames from thinkster.io.
Concepts
- education is a process: many steps
- content today provides only 1 step (Udemy, Pluralsight, blogs, books)
- you have to do the rest
- retention is KEY: what matters is what you know tomorrow, not what you know today
- motivation: current process is demotivating, as it’s ineffective
- passive learning: retention of 7 - 15%
- active learning: retention of 75 - 90%
- teaching: 90+%
- typing is not coding: mechanical tasks (like typing) even hinder the learning process
- missing piece of education: generation
Role of Teachers
- tutoring/coaching
- teach
- assign proper exercises
Building Knowledge
- like a building
- foundation
- build a framework upon the foundation
- details
Effective Learning Plan
- consume the content
- watch content max. 10 minutes
- take notes (writing down helps processing)
- practice
- take breaks
- personal project
- spaced repetition
tips
- get a “map”/overview
- strategize your learning
