Deepak Shukla’s Notes On How to Focus (Fastlane to Success Bundle) by Anthony Heston
Hey guys,
I finished reading this book on the 10th of January 2021.
Here’s a synopsis of the book I grabbed from Amazon:
“Anyone can develop and adopt the same mind-set that has helped most of the influential and successful figures of our time to achieve greatness.
[convertful id=”197358″]
The proven strategies and methods included in this guide will help people of all ages adopt a winner’s mindset. When properly applied, they’ve been shown to work time and again. It’s up to you to take the first step!”
And here are my actual notes I took whilst I was listening to this on Audible:
- Routine before starting an activity (to normalise a task/prepare it for what lies ahead)
- Focus one of the key tenets of long term memory retention
- Multi-tasking / interleaving is mixing old techniques with new techniques – best way to learn
- Interleaving – practice the whole thing regularly when trying to remember shit ie practical implementation
- High impact of retention depends upon the way individuals implement lessons
- Forgetting curve is how quickly we forget things
- Should present a weekly update of activity in practice
- Frequent repetition is necessary for active learning
- The objective is to reach 90% for all workers
- Edgar Dale principle – remember 10% of what was read if relayed in text, 20% of what was heard if relayed in audio, 50% of what they hear and see and 90% of what they do (an application of learning to practice)
- Adequate sleep important
- Chewing gum improves focus which improves memory
- For recurring tests if you use same perfume it has been proven to boost memory recollection
- Putting info into a rhyme helps learning also
- Vitamin D important as well
- Practice remembering random bits of information through associations
- Exercise important also
- Eat more choline
- Eat more blueberries
- Nootropics
