The Lifelong Learner         by Stanley Kubasek | About Me |

Here's a number of techniques that will help you to learn faster, study better, and begin absorbing information like a sponge.

I think this is an excellent set of tips on how you can continuously keep learning. Be a lifelong learner! :-) Here's a seven step formula.

1. Teach Someone Else. If there’s something you want to learn, try teaching it to someone else.

2. Write an Article.
By writing about it you will soon begin connecting new ideas with things you already know, creating an interlinking web of knowledge.

3. Start a Blog.

4. Treat Your Body Well.
When you’re trying to increase your learning speed, you need to make sure you are feeding your brain – quite literally.

* Eat every few hours to keep your blood sugar levels up.
* Exercise on a daily basis.
* Try to relax a few minutes each day.
* Sleep at least seven hours each night.
* Stay hydrated with water.
* Eat a light lunch. Heavy lunches tend to make people drowsy. Instead, recharge with a light lunch and a power walk.

5. Learn with All Five Senses.
You haven’t learned anything until you have put it into practice in your own life. Engage in learning through touch, sight, sound, hearing, and smell.

6. Increase Your Motivation.
If you create a reward system that you actually look forward to, you will be able to learn faster in anticipation of that reward.

7. Learn While You Sleep.
