How To Easily Learn Hard Topics - STOP Thinking You're Not Smart!
Learning how to learn and learning how to motivate ourselves to master the hard topics is what creates a gap between the highest performers who come first and everybody else. The problem is no one ever really teaches us how to study.
In this video I dive into how to teach yourself by making any hard topic interesting and driving curiosity to learn more. I break down exactly how I teach myself to learn difficult things (step by step, using an example)
To help you learn hard things I go into how to improve encoding and optimise for active recall and spacing when learning to make hard topics easy to learn.
