Mastering This Formula Will Make You Learn Better: Conquering Intelligence
…This can make the difference between people who achieve and people who have the potential to achieve, but don’t.”
Have you ever thought about a simple formula you can always rely on to maximize your learning?
I have and according to me, it’s as simple as follows:
Learning = Knowledge Acquisition Rate - Rate of Forgetting
Where priority of Rate of Forgetting > Knowledge Acquisition Rate
Knowledge Acquisition Rate
Simply said, knowledge acquisition rate is the speed at which you acquire new knowledge. This can be measured in various ways, but I personally like to measure it according to “items per time” e.g. 10 items per hour.
You can simply hold account of these items in all kinds of programs like Anki or Quizlet.
Maximizing the knowledge acquisition rate can be done through various ways, like reading a good high-rated non-fiction book. Or my favorite: Wikipedia seems to usually contain the most dense and compact forms of knowledge.
