We are so lucky to live in the age of the internet, we have access to learn from the best brains in the world. Obviously, it has been difficult to differentiate noise from them and that is one of the reason for starting this blog. Learning is an art and very few people understand it. I don't say that I'm one of them but yeah I am learning how to learn. To understand how we learn we should know how our memory works. Our brain generally tricks us that we might remember everything we read but no

So this is how our memory works, anything we read today we might forget within 6 days. To hack the process and to remember life long we need to practice spaced- repetition technique. We can use some online tools to practice this technique. So since we understood how we can remember things for life, now let's see how we can make learning fun.

If you choose a subject which is easy, your interest might soon fade out. If you choose something difficult, the initial resistance to start might be too high and you will never be able to complete it. The best way to choose something to learn is something which is in between, that is both kinds of easy but challenging too.

The best way to learn is to do with something you have learned, you might create or build products around that insight or you might just write as I am writing. To get started you can teach or write so that you will have to align your thoughts to make it concise and you might also find some black-spots in your thinking while going through the process.
