Tips for More Efficient Learning

Time, time, time, we all need more time but learning new skills and gaining knowledge are also important to one’s development. If you can figure out how to learn more quickly and efficiently, you can either spend the saved time doing something else or use it to raise your level of expertise even higher. Life is too short to be wasting time unnecessarily.

Online learning has become increasingly popular as a result of the pandemic. The Compliance HQ takes this to a whole new level, with CPD accredited courses and a ream of professionally recognised qualifications. You just need to choose which course you want to start with and then follow the below guide.

 Learn better and faster with these tips:

1.  All learning strategies are just starting points. Each person has their own unique, best way of learning. Experimentation is important. Just as it takes time to find the best diet for your unique body, it can take time to find the best learning strategies for your unique brain.
2. Repeated effort is often the best use of your effort. Most things are better learned in smaller chunks of time. For example, it’s far easier and more effective to prepare for a foreign language vocabulary test by reviewing the words for 5 minutes a few times each day than to study for 2 hours on the day of the test.
3. Understanding can be just as important as memorization. Memorization can be essential but understanding can limit the amount of memorization that needs to be done. Look for the connection between different ideas. Seek to understand what you’re learning.
4. Maximising your memory requires practice. You only get better at memorising things by doing exactly that, memorising things. Work on your memorisation skills each day. Even if you have to create a list of 10 words and see how well you can re-create the list from memory, you’ll be practising.
5. Create your own notes. Nothing is more helpful than your own, unique set of notes. List the most important information and concepts.
6. Take regular breaks. Experiment with yourself and see what works the best. Studies show that very short periods of time are best for memorization. For learning other things, 30-60 minutes is about the maximum before a break is essential.

Everything can be done better and faster. Learning is no different. Make the best use of your time by learning intelligently.

Break up your learning and study sessions into reasonable periods of time. Be sure to experiment when applying learning strategies. You’re an individual with unique characteristics. Cookie-cutter advice is rarely going to be the perfect option when it comes to learning
