			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am beginning to evaluate the way I learn. I am trying to make changes so that the time that I put into learning/reading is more valuable.<br />
It&#8217;s probably going to slow me down, but in the end, I will learn more and become more knowledgeable and productive.</p>
<p>What is it?</p>
<p><strong>Do more with less!</strong> Yes, I think this is the key for me. I am doing too many things. I read to much. I have too many magazines. But the end<br />
result is that I don&#8217;t learn enough. Yes, sounds bad. But that&#8217;s really how it is.</p>
<p>Why so?</p>
<p>Because I don&#8217;t learn on a level that I can remember. When I read an article for example. Is there anything that I take out of it? What do I mean? Do I extract information that I will actually remember?</p>
<p>Most of the time, I have to say it&#8217;s a no!</p>
<p>This is not easy. Not going to be easy.</p>
<p>I know.</p>
<p>But there are ways that I can implement that will allow me to learn more.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>I wish I knew.</p>
<p>But I think I know a way. I will try it. If I can share the information that I read/gather, then this will help me remember it. It will help me digest<br />
it in another way. It will make me learn it in a more meaningful way.  Whether it&#8217;s twitter, my blog, a wiki page, anything. The point is to extract information that will go into my &#8220;long term&#8221; memory. Only then I will remember it.</p>
<p>So here it is. One of my goals for this year is to alter my learning. Change it so I focus more on the things that I learn. And that I really learn.</p>
<p>Reading is a lot of fun, but it could be even more fun when I can use it in a way that can help me. What am I going to do with all the knowledge I acquire? <img src='http://lifelonglearner.kubasek.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  A good problem to have.</p>
