Lesson 8

Procrastination equal postpone. Procrastination block knowledge incoming into the long term memory. Because procrastination break regularity and constancy, decrease time to learn. Learn is brick wall and need to do it accuracy and regular. Because chaos don't provide a strong wall.

Procrastination is pain from new knowledge - and brain do it as reaction on the pain. I need to cope with procrastination. Collect of many events of this - will increase difficult to cope it. How it works, step by step:

1. It's reaction to the pain. It's method by evolution. Simple and comfortable for the brain.
2. Brain runs away into the safe place. And tell tales about it - to prove that it's good for me.
3. Brain collect many tales and it's increase difficult to cope it ... 

Illusion of competence - if I listen and understand alien thoughts and think that is all that I need. No it's not guaranties knowledge for me. I need to have my personal thoughts and experience to  get knowledge. How does it works:

1. If I watch more - I'll know more ... High amount of information it's not knowledge.
2. If I was read - I know it. No, it don't work. It's only first meeting.
3. Need to decrease quotes from the alien text ... Knowledge, skill so good, but theses isn't it.

How to fix it:

1. Recall - do it after reading and check that I understand: repeat all with my personal thoughts. Repeat it more times if I need.
2. Don't collect quotes from the source: book, video, e.t.c. - better to do conspect.
3. Mind-map is not effective without understanding. Example - algorithm of chess play without knowledge how each chess pieces move.

Overabundant learning is cramming.

How to exclude it:

1. Do test of myself (for example: similar with "peer-to-peer"), check mistakes to exclude overabundant repeating of based info.
2. Synopsis and recall methods. Synopsis its my personal determining.
3. Change format of the learn: audio, video, text, e.t.c. Change environment - not use only one place.
