Give me 2 minutes and I’ll show you how to remember everything you learn:
Often, we listen to a podcast or read a book and feel enlightened.
We see the world in a new light.
It appears fresh; different.
We vow to take that information forward, only to find...
1 week later, we can’t remember any of the material.
Then comes a bigger issue...
Because we’ve absorbed material previously, we feel informed and spread the message of our newfound enlightenment.
Then, we find out we can’t remember what we heard.
Therefore, we can’t form a position.
You see, there’s a difference between being informed and understanding a topic deeply.
Being informed = being aware
Understanding = being certain
You might feel given today’s world, it is impossible to hold on to information.
We constantly face exciting, new and interesting stimuli like a drip feed.
However, with a bit of understanding of how our memory works, you can overcome this with absolute ease.
