How to Improve your learning skills

Its around 2pm and I have been stationed on my lounge since this morning, organizing, working and structuring things. I recently bought a new beautiful calendar ( I know, a couple mounts too late into the year but….) and I am transferring bits and pieces into this calendar.Its very colorful and “childish” which I like. Brightens up a day!

While studying now, I came across something I wanted to share with you. A man named Edgar Dale made this “learning cone” back in 1969 that very simply explains how much we tend to remember of the things we learn, based on;  Read, Hear, See, Say and Do. This is great knowledge in order to improve your learning skills.

It really motivated me to get up straight away after reading, listening to something and in some way act on it. Even for a short while, but just to get it print in my brain by doing some sort of exercise based on what I just learned.
Are you guys with me!?

I had so many nightmares last night that were insane! But luckily I am not tired at all today. My plan was to go out to this highly recommended bakery in North Sydney, to have a almond croissant and a coffee. But its been poring down rain all day, the sky is grey and its really chilly in the air. So instead I have rugged up with the biggest, thickest socks I could find, I lit some candles and I am going to stay inside and have some work done and watch the rain from my big windows haha.

Lunch will be a fruit-salad mix of pineapple, bananas, oranges and grapes, because that’s all we have at home. And maybe a hot soup, seems to go hand in hand with a rainy day like this.
