Whether it’s a form of note-taking or regular repetition or the like, what are some self-education techniques and tools you’ve developed to help yourself learn on your own?

It’s always interesting imo to read about how some folks teach themselves different stuff.

  • I’m feeling this information bloat for weeks now. I have not tried taking a walk tho. mind I ask if I should try to think on nothing or focus on the thing I want to learn/that’s bloating me?

    I like how we use bloat here

    • Walking helps to get your mind free. I usually listen to a podcast and think a bit about what I’ve read. Trying to understand it.

      I’m not a pro, but that usually helps a lot.

      A good one is a half hour sit-com. Like The Simpsons, or Big Bang Theory. Whatever you prefer. Take a few minutes to slow your brain down, put on a sit-com or cartoon and try to relax. When the shows over, get back to it. I like this way because it times itself, I can’t just add five more minutes, the shows over.

      • problem is I only like media that makes you think, not in a deep way, but in an intriguing fantasy way. And it doesn’t help much when I try to get my mind off of things and find Gravity Falls 11 years late.

        This happened a week or two ago.
