Learning strategies
Learning strategy # 1
Recognize that old knowledge is irrelevant
One good reason to dive head first into self-initiated learning is that much of what you were taught is already obsolete.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/201607/the-golden-age-teaching-yourself-anything
ExampleRecognize that people want to more than only consumers / buyers. In other words, recognize that people would like to be involved, to help out, to co-create.

Learning strategy # 2
Watch / observe

Learning strategy # 3
Read
What do you like to read? A newspaper app? Blogs you subscribe to? Postings from people you follow on www.linkedin.com? Tweets from people you follow on www.twitter.com?

Instead of saying to yourself that you want to “read more” or “learn new things”, be much more specific.
Example“Spend 2 hours every Thursday afternoon reading all the articles I saved during the week.”

Try things out.Do things.Practice.
Think. Reflect.

Adapted from Kolb.
Kolb showed that adults can’t learn merely by listening to instructions. They must also absorb the new information, use it experimentally, and integrate it with their existing knowledge.
https://www.mckinseyquarterly.com/Organization/Change_Management/The_psychology_of_change_management_1316
If you practice a slightly modified version of a task you want to master, you actually learn more and faster than if you just keep practicing the exact same thing multiple times in a row.
ExampleIf you want to get better at writing / blogging, try to use different blogging software, for example www.blogger.com, www.wordpress.com, and www.medium.com
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/12/how-to-learn-new-skills-twice-as-fast/
Some learn best by looking at graphics or reading. Others would rather watch demonstrations or listen to things being explained. Others need a
“hands-on” experience.

Learning strategy # 12
Think / reflect
http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2414478
To get the most out of learning experiences,
reflect on them immediately following an
activity.
What have you learned from the experience?
https://hbr.org/2015/12/4-ways-to-become-a-better-learner
https://hbr.org/2016/03/dont-let-your-mistakes-go-to-waste
What were the reasons for that mistake you made along the way?
What could you have done better?
https://hbr.org/2015/06/improve-your-ability-to-learn
Research participants who did an arithmetic brain-teaser and then reflected on their
strategies for solving it went on to do 18% better in a second round than their peers
who hadn’t set aside time to reflect.

Learning strategy # 13
Laugh – for example at yourself
https://www.fastcompany.com/3059651/the-surprising-link-between-laughter-and-learning
When we laugh, we relax. As anxiety decreases, our capacity to retain information expands.
The heightened emotion that humour evokes doesn't just make it easier for us to hit upon insights we otherwise wouldn’t - it also helps us remember them.
