　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(一)：Book Notes

“If you understand something in only one way, then you don't really understand it at all. The secret of what anything means to us depends on how we've connected it to all other things we know. Well-connected representations let you turn ideas around in your mind, to envision things from many perspectives until you find one that works for you. And that's what we mean by thinking!” --Marvin Minsky
Being smart means being able to learn quickly, remember a large amount of information and be able to sort that information in a way that achieves your goals.
It wasn’t just that smart people learned better or faster. They learned differently. Smarts requires a different strategy.
Smart people tend to make fewer distinctions between branches of knowledge and can easily relate one set of understandings to another.
Holistic learning takes a different approach.Instead of trying to memorize information by making a perfect copy in your brain, it uses the web of neurons you have. Holistic learning creates webs of information. One idea relates to another idea. That interrelating of ideas allows you to easily navigate through complete understandings.
it is impossible to learn an idea in isolation. Learning anything requires associations. The more associations you can create and the stronger those associations are, the better.
Holistic learning is based on linking ideas as a way of remembering and applying them. The best techniques to start learning are metaphor, visceralization, flow-based notetaking and diagraming. These methods form the foundation of holistic learning.
A construct defines a set of tightly interlinked understandings.
When building constructs, your goal is to create as many possible interconnections as possible between ideas.
Models can take a variety of forms. The goal, however, is always the same: compressing information.
Models do not need to have perfect accuracy, they only need to combine several ideas to make them more manageable. As my understanding of subspaces grew, I made adjustments to my previous model and created new models.
A highway is a reference that links two completely different ideas. The benefit of a highways isn’t an immediately obvious one. However, highways help with creativity. Thinking “outside the box” might as well describe people who think outside of constructs. Highways allow them to do this by making connections between areas that they didn’t previously think were connected. Creativity can be seen as being able to utilize these highways to build new constructs in territories that were previously empty.
In all cases, your ability to handle a medium of information forms the first filter which can enhance or destroy your learning efforts. Any information lost here is gone forever. No amount of holistic learning techniques can make up for a failure to acquire the important ideas.
When acquiring information, you have three major goals:
1) Simplicity
2) Volume
3) Speed
Input is nothing without comprehension. If you don’t understand the surface of what a book is trying to say, the chances of remembering it for an exam or applying it in real life are almost nonexistent.
Learning by rote is learning with only the Understand Phase. The Understand Phase, is where most people stop and smart people go beyond.
Despite the limitations of stopping at this phase, it is the most critical. Unless you can acquire and understand the surface of information, you have no chance of building depth.
Not being able to understand something instantly, isn't a sign you aren't learning holistically. My suggestion, when you encounter a tricky subject is to break it into components. Narrow down specifically what you don't understand so you can use further reading to fill the gaps.
Exploration is really the start of holistic learning. There are three major ways you can explore ideas: depth, lateral and vertical exploration. Depth exploration is probably the best method to lock an idea in place, but also the most time consuming. Lateral exploration requires less research than depth exploration, but more creativity. It requires that you see connections that might not be present initially. Vertical exploration is the most difficult, but also the most creative way to learn.
Creating diagrams can help with vertical, lateral and depth exploration. Metaphor and visceralization both work best with vertical exploration.
Debugging can be seen as pruning back the holistic web. Adding exceptions and breaking connection that don’t exist in reality.
The only way to debug is to practice. You can cut down on practicing time if you form a solid foundation in the first three steps.
Application is part practice and part creativity as you take theories and force them onto the real world. A certain amount of all information is subconscious. That subconscious portion might not be developed if you fail to apply. Someone who has read a library of business books may understand concepts, but someone who has run a business can feel them.
Whenever you try new methods, information might get lost or absorbed differently. Testing allows you to track what your weaknesses are, so improvements can be made.
Testing isn’t a complicated process, but it requires a lot of self-awareness.
The sequence of holistic learning isn’t really a sequence at all. Instead it is a cycle that constantly jumps between steps. Try to avoid seeing these steps as linear but as part of an ongoing cycle to create understandings.
The solution to poor acquisition is to improve your study, reading and note taking habits.
Even if you feel you can’t understand your subjects, I’ve found that this is rarely the main problem. Usually most people can understand the basics of an idea. It is the cross application and linking required to remember ideas that most people stumble on.
When you don’t understand, slow down and ask for different explanations.
Poor debugging is shown by inaccurate connections. I find this is less common in the classroom, and more common in the outside world.
A sign you don’t do enough debugging is if you don’t regularly find yourself to be wrong on a major belief or issue. If you always think you are correct, chances are you aren’t doing enough critical examination of the connections you make.
As a learner, however, you can’t hire someone to explore or apply ideas. You have only one brain, so you need to focus on fixing weak points in the sequence.
Arbitrary information is a set of facts, dates, definitions or rules that have no logical grouping.
Your first goal with arbitrary information is to make it less arbitrary. If there is a logical pattern in the information, try to find that first. Otherwise the job of remembering and using the information becomes more difficult.
If that can’t be accomplished, these methods also work well:
Linking Pegging Compression
The one benefit of arbitrary information is that it is relatively easy to understand.
But this upside is also a curse. Since there is little understanding required, there is also little exploration that can be done. Therefore, this type of information is the most likely to be forgotten without sheer rote memorization. Linking, pegging and compression can help, but they can’t entirely compensate for the tricky nature of this structure.
Opinion information is information you need to argue. With opinion information, your biggest problem is the acquiring phase. Speed reading techniques are a great asset in gathering information. Diagraming is also a useful method with opinion information.
Practice is the most important element to learning any idea you need to act upon repeatedly, but creating the right background concepts is also crucial for saving time.
Most process information relies on having the right models. Here are some techniques to improve your models:
Visceralization Metaphor Diagraming Model Debugging
The biggest challenge with process information is that you need to actually put in the practice time. The benefit of process information is that, if you do practice, it tends to stick with you much longer than almost any other form of information.
Most information sits on a spectrum between abstract and concrete, the difference can often be based more on the way it is presented than the content itself.
Visceralization can be helpful if you want to put information into more than one of your senses.
Abstract information is like concrete information, but it lacks the obvious connection with the senses.
Abstract information is the complete opposite of arbitrary information. Very difficult to understand but the pattern is highly logical.
When dealing with abstract information, you need to move it to a concrete level.
Visceralization and metaphor are essential to bring complex ideas down to a basic level. Model debugging plays prominent role because your initial attempts to model an idea may have unintended errors.
When you need to learn a new topic, decide what major category or categories your information fits within. Deciding which category you need to learn can help you determine what techniques to use when learning and what obstacles you might face in remembering.
An arbitrary structure is the weakest structure for information. It is the hardest to
learn holistically, takes the longest to learn effectively and has little value outside its specific application. If possible, try to find patterns that make arbitrary information more logical.
Concrete and process structures are the strongest structures of information. Both of them create tangible experiences that help you link any new ideas through your senses.
Learning without a practical purpose is a waste of your time.
With acquiring information I’ve found two methods helpful, speed reading and flow-based notetaking.
Visceralization is my word to describe imagining not only a mental picture, but sounds, sensations and emotions. Often a mental image will work, but connecting an idea to several senses and even emotional states can create a stronger link than a picture.
Weak – Learning through repetition.
Better – Learning with linking, pegging or information compression.
Best – Learning with metaphor, visceralization or diagrams.
Information Compression:
Mnemonics are devices that store several ideas together by using a phrase or word that can organize the information. Using a mnemonic is as simple as collecting several ideas you want to compress together and picking a word or phrase you could use to organize them.
Picture linking
Notes compression
Practical usage isn’t a step-by-step technique. It is a creative process of looking for unusual ways you can apply the ideas you are ingesting.
When you get questions wrong, you need to separate simple errors that can easily be fixed, from those that represent a failure to understand key ideas. In the case of simple errors, just repeat a new question and learn from it. In the case of concept errors, go back to your models, metaphors and visceralizations to see if you made mistakes in the reasoning process.
Spending hours repeating the same type of questions is no different from rote memorization. I prefer to spend my time debugging on a shotgun approach, which tackles a few questions of each type, but doesn’t become repetitive.
Project-based learning can be useful when you don’t have an instructor or a final exam. It simply means constructing a 1-3 month project that will force you to learn. Here are some tips:
Keep it Small.
Write it Down.
Create an Objective Outcome.
Productivity Tips:
Energy Management
Don't “Study”
End Procrastination
Batch
Get Organized
Energy Management:
1) Increase your energy capacity. (do exercise; enough sleep time; eat healthy; drink more water; meals on time)
2) Switch your schedule from a linear format to a circular format. A linear schedule has work spread evenly over the entire time period. A circular schedule focuses on doing a lot of work earlier with ample rest time afterwards. (set a day off each week; evenings off; 90 minute timeboxes)
Don't “Study”:
Instead of studying, define the activities you need to perform in order to learn the material. Unless you itemize what you need to do in order to learn, you’ll waste endless hours “studying” instead of optimizing your time to actually learn.
End Procrastination:
Beating procrastination doesn’t mean just completing work earlier. (using Weekly/Daily Goals System)
Batching:
Batching involves taking a group of similar, small sections of work and doing them at one time. Batching helps cut down studying time because you can focus completely instead of switching between tasks.
Get Organized:
Everything has a home; Carry a notepad with you at all times; Maintain a calendar and a to-do list
Self-education comes with its own unique challenges. Without the structure of school, it is harder to maintain a focus, find resources and test your understanding.
Structuring Learning Habits:
Daily Reading (Books can’t teach you everything, but they form a solid foundation of ideas you can build any learning efforts from. By reading a large volume, you can structure your education more effectively, getting a wide variety of viewpoints on a subject instead of just one.)
Daily Practice (Practicing helps provide a structure for your learning, since it is the first time you will have a benchmark of your abilities.)
Daily Goal Setting
A few tips on setting your learning goals:
All Goals Need to Be Written. (Write down your goal as a few sentences, along with a deadline.)
Make it Objective.
Set Difficult, But Achievable Deadlines.
Break it Into Daily and Weekly Actions.
Review Your Goals Regularly.

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(二)：学霸Scott H Young介绍自己如何成为学霸的

  几乎很快的时间看完了这本英文书，为了锻炼自己的英文，所以没有选择中文版，但是其英文的写作也出奇的简练，并没有大量生僻的词汇需要查，并且每个章节的核心内容也非常精简，很好读。
  关于作者，大概介绍一下：
  Scott Young，加拿大人，网络上有名的创举是几天学完了线性代数，用一年的时间自学完了年麻省理工的全部计算机学课程。据他说，现在他正在昆明学汉语，前两天的昆明事件，对他应该没有影响，否则他会在自己的blog上通报的：http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/，另外这个站点据说是全球最大的学习博客，可以上去订阅他最新写的心得分享，不过最近这位同学感兴趣是语言学，什么汉语，法语，意大利语之类的，他好像都学过，正在学的是汉语。
  关于这本书，Scott介绍了一个Holistic Learning的概念，如果直译是全体学习，整体学习的意思，但实际上他真正强调的并非是整体的重要性，Holistic Learning把知识的学习过程描述为在人脑内从无到有的建立起的一座座城市，比如几何是一座城市，代数是一座城市，如何去描述学习状态的好坏呢？几乎和描述一座城市的好坏标准一样，城市的建筑是否清洁并且使用便利，更重要的是所有这些有功能的建筑之间的道路是否通畅。例如数学中，一提起平方根，大脑能否立刻想到其是平方的逆运算，一提起平方能否立刻想起它是乘法的一个特例。这种概念的清晰和概念之间关联度的建立是书本学习中最重要的内容，也几乎就是人类迄今为止对所有知识进行分解和构造的一个普适的基本方法。这让我想起了自己初中小时候第一次学历史，是一个很好的老师讲，就像讲故事一样，事件一环套一环，学起来几乎不费力气，后来换了一个老师，成天画重点，似乎记忆的量少了，但是却非常难以记住，上课效果极差，这其中的原因应该就是这本书中所讲的人脑本身的特点，建立起知识概念的相互链接才是人脑记忆掌握知识的关键。
  另外Scott还分析了对于不同类型的信息，人脑处理时候应该注意的方法和技巧，比如Arbitrary类的信息，由于其概念之间的关联性很少，彼此几乎就是孤立的事实，所以非常难以记忆，所以就可以使用一些技巧把之转换为Concrete，或者Process之类的信息，当然这些技巧是我看书时候跳的最快的，因为我觉得这类信息对于这把年纪的我不喜欢也不用记了，自然也不用学习这类的技巧，但Scott同学洋洋洒洒写了很多，他并且也承认自己对于这类信息也非常弱，看来只要是人都对这类死记硬背的东西不感冒，学霸也不例外。
  简而言之，现实很复杂，知识很凌乱，头脑很弱小，但是只要充分利用好头脑的自身优势，比如形象思维，触类旁通，习惯成自然之类的天性，就可以形成一套快速学习的习惯，第二部分：Holistic Learning Techniques就介绍了具体的步骤和技巧方法。学霸只是因为有一个高效的学习记忆习惯和方法，而使用这些习惯和方法的主要目的就是用来征服人脑的弱点的，这些弱点只要是人，大家都有。

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(三)：学渣逆袭

这本书就是这位超级学霸Scott Young写的，他的事迹有10天学会线性代数，一年学习4年MIT的33课之类的，至于每科至少拿A等，都是不足道啊，只是学霸令人仰视一部分而已。
好了，崇拜够了，就来写写他到底用了什么方法进行学习的，他的目的就是让人人都当学霸，可惜现在我都要毕业了，无法用他的方法来学习然后轻松拿A啊。不过可以用在自学，自学到死。
他开始讲的是基本思想就是把知识联系起来，融会贯通到一个体系。叫做全面学习（这是我翻译的。如有不妥，敬请告知，下面的同理），有五个方面。一为获得知识，二，为理解知识，三为探索知识就是联系起来，又分为三个部分，一为了解知识背景，二为纵向联系，三为横向理解。四为找错误。五为具体运用。
还有信息有五个，像事实的，抽象的，具体的等。
然后就是作者教的方法。写一下影响深刻的。
第一个就是图像法，对于一个抽象的知识，你可以用图像法联系起来，运用这个方法时，你可以把自己第一个想到的东西放到概念里面进行联系不行再找下一个，但不可能找不到完美的图像，只要能让你深刻理解这个知识就可以了。
如果有许多概念，你又想把他们联系起来，你可以用联系方法，把每一个知识点进行图像化，然后用各种联想联系起来，不符合常识也可以，重点是要记得住就可以了。反正思想就是让你把知识联系起来，把知识融会贯通，而不是死记硬背。
还有重要的一点有是把自己学的东西马上用到生活上，就如我自己的经历，那时我看过会计学原理，学习到了资产负债等式，然后每次吃饭我都进行计算，我借了饭菜多少钱，还有贷了多少库存现金，然后这个等式的原理我现在还是记得十分清楚的。故这个运用到生活这个方法真的是大招。一用就学会了，有些不能用的可以用图像法，然后那个图像可以运用到生活上也不一定。
还有最后，作者还讲了如何处理管理精力这类的方法。这和我以前看的许多书讲的大同小异，所以他的方法肯定有一定的实用性。而且他不只一次劝我们要一次只学一种方法，这个是习惯养成的真理，不过真的能按这样做的人很少吧，有些人甚至不行动（像我这样的。。。。）。所以想要成为学霸，把自己比较认同的方法好好落实就可以了。我也拿一个出来进行实践吧，看一下学渣能否逆袭。

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(四)：四类读书方法

获取知识好方法：快速阅读和笔记流快速阅读法：指读法和练习阅读法。练习指读法和练习阅读法。（练习：每天15分钟，设定每次3分钟阅读，看单词数和理解知识点）笔记流：侧重记录不同内容的联系，只简要记下关键点，适合获取、理解内容联系观点，方法：比喻、内在、视觉（简图）比喻： 使用比喻技巧 注意第一个出现在脑海的念头，看看哪里合适哪里不合适，把不合适的部分改掉看看多找几个比喻试试比喻练习：坚持2周，每天读书提炼观点，对不同的观点寻找比喻，多试几个，并保证10岁孩子能听懂内在：（学习方式一般有三种：视觉、听觉、触觉，与人沟通时也要注意） 明确你要内在化的概念。是一个生物过程，还是编程中的函数或者是一个数学概念？从建立脑海中的图像开始。如果你不习惯内在化，可以先试着在纸上画出概念的粗略图，多次尝试后，你就会直接在脑海中想象了。脑海中的图像是静态的，还是栩栩如生的动态场景？掌握一个行列式需要好几个步骤，所以要让图像动起来，就仿佛在看一部电影一样。现在开始加上其他感官。试着用手去拿，去摸，去打它，去嗅它的味道，去听它的声音，动用你身体的所有感官，将所有的感觉与运动的图像相联系。加入更多的感觉或情感。不断重复和优化图像，直到你一想到它就能很快回忆起知识。简图（流简图、概念图、图像简图）：（需要不断练习，比比喻和内在要难）流简图：将流程简化，画出概念图：将不同概念之间的关系用简图画出来图像简图：用涂鸦的方式画出图像随意信息处理，如果不能联系构建框架/结构，就使用两种方法：联想法和挂钩法联想法（联结不同事物，找到不同事物之间的联系）：创造顺序给清单中的每一项设一个符号（注意符号要让你能联想到要联想的要素）创建属于自己的联想：想想不同符号之间的联系挂钩法（将记忆信息与数字结合，找到信息与数字之间的关系）信息压缩（记忆术、图像联系、笔记缩减法）记忆术：使用单词缩写记忆多个知识点图像联系：将不同知识点（用符号表示）集合成一个图像笔记缩减法：将大量笔记缩减到几页，只剩几个信息关键点实际应用（每周找学到的知识点进行应用）模型纠错以项目为基础的学习总结实践：找到自己的强项和弱点：擅长哪个行业？擅长整体性学习的哪个阶段？从智力挑战开始：坚持3周，从比喻、内在化、简图开始，记录一句话感受

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(五)：知道与做到之间

   曾几何时，每当我要准备一个资格考试的时候，我就会投入一场声势浩大的学习方法斗争之中。思维导图？番茄工作法？速读法？我要！我要！我都要！当然了，其中一些有用，另外一些没用。这里所说的用和不用不是指方法本身，而是在我阅读了大量类似书籍之后有没有变成自己真正的行为。所以，方法都没有错，关键是我们自己。
   很多次通过考试不是因为我的学习方法有多棒，其实还是因为我实实在在坐在那里看书了。考研失败就是因为一直怀疑自己的方法不对、怀疑自己不够聪明等等，最后放弃了看书，结果考下来成绩还不错，当然离理想的学校远远不够，但就我付出的努力程度来说，还是相当令人满意了。
    这本书讲得非常不错，我们应该好好记下来，趁着自己的热情还在加以练习。
    推开本身的内容来说，学习更是一场和自己的战斗，我们手中或许有很锋利的武器，但是用不用就是另外一回事了。因为人在大部分时间里不能控制自己，不然世界上不会有那么多失败了。当然也不要气馁，永远不要放弃自己，哪怕在读过那么多工具书只变好了那么一点点的情况下。：）

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(六)：首先这人没去过MIT，然后完成的是OCW，最后这甚至...

首先这人没去过MIT。
Scott H Young是一个完全无名的大学读商学的。
这是本“书”原版最后一页上的第一句：
Scott Young is student at University of Manitoba studying business.
然后他完成的MIT OCW的材料而已。这在他的博客上写的很清楚。整件事情被其称作MIT Challenge。
www.scotthyoung.com/blog/myprojects/mit-challenge-2/
MIT OCW虽然很好，但是材料远比正规课程要少，有些没有全放出，有些甚至于已经是很早以前的材料了。对于CS这个不更新就没用的学科来说，乃是至关重要的。用过edX就知道MITx的MOOC都不是工作量可以那么少的了。
最后这本“书”可不是传统意义上的出版物。
第一，amazon.com上是没有的；我原本想去看下评价结果发现如是。
第二，这其实是一个作者编排的课程的材料部分，看英语版就很清楚，基本就是PPT而已。
在上述网页后面，他给出了课程列表。我看了下，除了有两门AI类课程可能可以算是高级别的，其他都是基础课。例如微经、宏经这种无关的，外加一堆数学也就算了，还有物理和化工？最要命的是连操作系统和计算机体系结构这种课都没有！
我可以断言，这个课表最多可以排到3个长学期的专业课而已。里面包含一堆无关课程，经济类和化工可以完全去除，外加物理课一门足矣。
作为一个一天就可以完成中国一流学校计算机系线性代数课程，拥有两个大国一流大学一流相关院系教育经历，深入研究过数学、计算机科学类课程安排的人，我完全质疑这本书作者的背景强度。特别是中文版的宣传。

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(七)：聪明人的学习方法

思念，让我无法入睡，这感觉让我绝望。我知道这种思念除了把我变成一个诗人，再无意义，我尝试着拿起书把这种感觉逐出去。
 
慢慢的，我开始沉浸到书里，这个小册子所说的很多方法，其实很多已经会了，只是从来不知道有人真正总结过此类的学习方法，终于看到有人具体化整理了这些，而有很多我已经心领神会，很是共鸣。
编程是一种绝佳的锻炼学习的手段，比如你学建筑，你没法在学校亲手做一个房子，我已经学了十来种编程语言，有时我也不知道学那些有什么用，只是为了好玩。现在我可以迅速学会一门编程语言，几天之内学会一门编程技术的核心概念。这其中概念的理解就是常用手段就是书中所说的比喻法，而以往的知识越多，可以比喻的载体就越多，比如在学android的时候，Activity如果你把它比喻成Window，就能秒懂，仔细了解又有些不同，就是后面所说的修正。在看电压比喻成水压或水的势能，如果放的高，那么其势能就高，那么压力就大，电流比喻成水流,阻力大了水流就小，自然再理解公式 R=U/I 就容易了许多。
对离散性的知识，记忆一直不是自己的强项，我在开车的时候也练习过，用联想的方法记前面的车牌。有时间再尝试一下书中所用的智力练习。
我想可以把这些学会的东西将来教给我的孩子。
天亮了，我站在车窗前，外面的麦田，村庄，是如此的静美。
嗨，此刻你依偎在我的身边，我会指着远处的村庄，告诉你，我就在那样的村庄里长大，那样的水渠里我曾经捉过小龙虾，那样的水田里，我把插秧椅子当马骑，想着想着竟落了泪。

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(八)：A good introduction book

The whole is trying to sell holistic learning. Learn more with holistic learning, while study less with holistic learning.
The book combines with the author's own learning experience and almost all major theories and techniques in the field of productivity and personal development. So you can have a quite clear view of them all. But I personally feel there should be more details. Reading the book is kind of like reading a long abstract. Perhaps it supposed to give you a clue and you can go deep into it if you are really interested in the idea. However, I feel the book did not give me enough info for me to make the decisions on each methods. I did not think it is a bad book. Because I knew the author is honest, and he was really drawn to this area. I cannot come up with a better way to write this book. (You can go to his personal website to know more about who he is and what he does. http://www.scotthyoung.com/blog/).
So, I guess I will use this book as a guide and go on reading other books in this area, while keeping an eye on his blog to see how he practices those methods in his life.

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(九)：highlight of the book

削减了读的时候做的标记，力求简洁。
-----------------
§§ what is holistic learning？
view learning as a comprehensive whole, instead of a list of memorised facts;
Instead of trying to memorise information by making a perfect copy in your brain, use the web of neurons you have.
(It's all about associations, the more the better)
It's not a scientific fact but a metaphor of the way smart people learn.
§§ why？
to be able to quickly integrate new information; for information to stick.
§§ what to apply？
 
not only in academic setting, encompass anything you want to understand. The more broadly you can apply these methods, the better they function.
-----------------
§§ elements
1. constructs.
Metaphor: city = buildings + roads.
Goal: create as many interconnections as possible!
2. models.
eg: imagine variables (in computer language) as jars, functions as pencil sharpener.
3. highways.
i.e.: link two complete different ideas, across disciplines.
benefit: creativity. build new territories.
-----------------
§§ sequence. (废话，略)
useful points:
1. when acquire knowledge, minimise redundancy.
e.g. Examples could be nice but only when they help you form models. Otherwise, don't bother.
2. explore.
remember: ' Information doesn't exist alone '
find similarity, comparison, pattern, etc.
3. debug and improve your learning system. & Be patient.
'you can start a business without programming skills by hiring a programmer but you can never let other people learn for you.'
Initially changing styles/ adopting new techniques adds a bit of time, but it pays back.
-----------------
§§ techniques.
1. active reading.
Don't just highlight sentences. Ask yourself:
a. what are the major points？
b. how can I best remember them？
c. how can I extend or apply them？
2. flow-based note-taking
Beautifully written notes are useless. Simplify, 'Messify'.
Use very few words instead of lengthy sentences.
Draw diagram.
3. project-based learning
one-three months long projects that force you to learn.
Commit your project on paper.
Have an objective outcome.
e.g. write a small application or website (programming); write a short e-book on the subject (history); do an analysis of financial statements for a company (accounting).
-----------------
※ It's not time that matters, It's energy. ※
Boost your energy by:
1) exercise often. A small investment in exercise can have a huge impact on your ability to concentrate.
2) low fat/sugar. Eat 4-5 small meals.
3) a lot of water.
Oh, don't even try to cheat your body in giving a few extra hours. you will lose many more later. So:
4) enough sleep.
5) take a day off each week.
-----------------
Trap:
A constant struggle — always trying to “study” more, yet always falling a bit short. It’s a lot like dieting.
Simply don't feel guilty because you didn't suffer enough. Instead, itemize what you need to do in order to achieve your goals.
-----------------
Advices:
1) Everything has a home.
2) Carry a notepad with your all the time. with a calendar and a to-do list.
3) Read daily.

　　《Learn More, Study Less》读后感(十)：一些读书技巧的应用

这本书在理念上没有给我留下太多的印象，因为无论是做笔记，还是关于记忆的技巧以及对于知识是如何构建的说法都是比较常见的。
做笔记：加上图的因素 和思维导图里强调的东西类似
记忆技巧：利用口诀（首字母） 多感官调动参与
之所以不是很推荐这本书，首先，在于它缺乏针对性。每个学科都有自己的特点和特殊学习方式，缺少了针对性，只能做到泛泛而论。其次，通篇都没有谈到如何有效的把知识用于实践，并解决现实问题，进一步获得反馈用以改进所学到的知识结构。相比较于那些专门针对如何学习程序设计、如何学习某项运动以及如何学习某种语言，甚至如何有效通过考试的书，本书的有效性不高。如果是学习经验不多的人，还可以参考一下。
