The goal is to get you connected with people who have similar interests and can understand & be supportive of your goals. The plan - goal, practice plan, test, justification. 1. 1 - retrieval practice is more effective than re-reading your notes. 1. 2 - interleave - mix different concepts, old and new. 1. 3 - space it out - learning, like digesting food, happens slowly over time and can"t be rushed. 1. 4 - elaborate new ideas and make connections with things you already know. 1. 5 - sleep - rest allows times for info to be consolidated into long term memory. 2. 1 - humans find feelings of belongingness, competence, autonomy rewarding. 2. 2 - probability of success - lack of confidence leads to lack of motivation.
