Learning Marathon … a way to self inspiration

For me, in order to remember or learn, there are multiple ways, but, in general, there are 2 common ways I use.

1. repeating it — again and again periodically
2. Interesting it — making things interesting or new, so brain can absorb it

repeating it — can be boring sometimes, and brain would not give enough attention to it as the first time. Revising will definitely help remember but sometimes I lack interest in stuff which I already know a little. This strategy can help during the exams, where I have pressure (the voltage — I have a story in mind, that, why it is important to do this).

I don’t have exams now, and there is no enough pressure or voltage, that could keep me running on the strategy of — ‘repeating’.

Even though the subject is not boring or repeated, the same method of ‘learning’ is repeated here,
&

mind doesn’t give importance to things which it has experienced before.

It is same as — I wouldn’t laugh as much as the first time, on the same joke.

To make learning interesting, there are various ways —
1. know what I want to do with that learning — that would create enough voltage to work,
2. Following reward system what my company has to offer,
3. join my company’s initiatives and learn through that ……

if this is not enough or if this has dependencies on company i work for —

I have to establish such concepts for myself that can attract my brain to concentrate, or that can make my brain think that this is the most exciting thing to do among all.

One fact to know is —

Changing the wrapper changes the product.

the same way — changing ‘the way to learn’ revolutionizes the whole learning experience, and makes it more exciting.

e.g.
considering a vegetarian sandwich — as my learning experience
the ingredients — as the subject(s) I want to learn
the various bread or brand — as the wrapper or the another ways of learning

they all have the same ingredients in the end, but the Sandwich eating experience is totally different.

for learning the same subjects in the end, if I use various methods that can give totally different experiences to the brain, then it is becoming very interesting.

Such concept for learning could be —

Learnathon — a learning marathon.
Learnathon is the ‘24’ or ‘48’ hours of continuous time, where a seeker prepares himself for hackathon.
The learner may go underground from friends, family and office.
The learner may take leaves from office if the learnathon is a long streak.
The learner keeps focus on learning and keeps body requirements fulfilled by ordering food from out, skipping brushing teeth and taking shower.

Learnathon is a total freedom to learn, do and think whatever I can, as soon as I can find a safe time to do.

Hackathon — an opportunity created by self or others where I can bring my imagination to reality.
