    Default Do you have any particular learning method?

    I'm currently using a strategy for learning, inspired in the habits of Piotr Wozniak.
    I separate my diary routine into periods (creativity, studying and reading, exercise, then I review what I learned during the day.) Altough I've a regular basis for sleeping (I sleep 8hs, between 12PM~2AM), this allow me to improve myself without having to follow an estrict routine (which it's often stressful).
    Regarding with techniques it depends on the activities, but about learning from what I've studied or read, I use spaced repetition. At the moment I'm trying to improve my methods by modifying whatever I think It must; And I'm now reading about specific techniques such as the mnemonic, so I can add to my habits whatever I find useful.

    I've taken advice from this article, which inspired me to investigate about making a proper way for learning that could suit me.

    And this is the article about Wozniak methods for memorization :
    http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/...-05/ff_wozniak
    It's quite long, but I think it worth it.
    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people will not feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

    Maybe by knowing the habits you have to organize your daily life, I could improve mines --and vice versa.

    With math, I find it best to work out problems by hand repeatedly until I get a mastery of it.

    I'm done with school so i have no need to study anything anymore. That only happens at work now but i'm payed to do it, so that should be motivational enough.

    When i was in college and i had to study something for an exam i would always do it in group. Staying at home alone studying is a bad idea if you have a computer or TV nearby. So i would go to college to study when there were no classes and it was exams time. I would stay there all day with other people studying. It was very productive.

    I am a kinesthetic learner with visual coming in close second. I best learn something by just doing it.

    When I learned spanish or german (and japanese) I used to play videogames set on whatever language I was learning.
    Football games with commentary in Spanish or finish a GTA with german subs.
    I have rote memory, which means that information tends to be assimilated when it's repeated, which is ideal for videogames.

    I love to mix learning with recreational activities...

    When I learned guitar, I learned songs in Spanish or Portuguese for exemple (like bossa nova). You learn guitar+language all in one.

    I have something like a photographic memory because I remember things just the way they are written as if I am looking at them directly. But I have to confess that I am very lazy and I like to make improvisations with the material and never write or study it exactly the way it is.
