Learning Strategies
Good learning strategies meet the following conditions:
- Begin in a positive state. Think of a time when you succeeded and felt good rather than failed and felt bad. Anchor the feeling.
- Chunk appropriately. Chunk down the task to avoid overwhelm. Recycle or go external until you can represent the smaller chunks so you can prioritize them.
- Get appropriate feedback about the learning.
- Do not comparison yourself to the expert or to an “ideal self.” Instead, compare your current progress to your ability in the past.
- Avoid the exiting too soon or never exiting. Exit when you have learned enough for right now, and when you have learned something well enough for your outcome.
- Avoid the trap of chasing clarity. All important decisions are made on the basis of insufficient information.
- Expect to not understand some things. Set them aside and come back to them later. Do not get trapped in bad feelings about not understanding. Remember that understanding is a just a state.
- Know your submodalities of understanding and use them to map learnings into understanding.
- Future pace learning to the time and place that they will be needed.
