Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the brain. By involving more of the brain during learning, we
remember more of what we learn.

“Study without DESIRE spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.”
— Leonardo da Vinci
FOCUS!
“People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the
hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have
done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.” – Steve Jobs
"Focusing is about saying no"

Primacy & Recency Effect
Diagram source: http://wps.prenhall.com/hss_wade_psychology_7_mru/21/5605/1435121.cw/-/1435123/index.html
When asked to recall a list of items in any order (free recall), people tend to begin recall with the end of the list, recalling those items best (the recency effect). Among earlier list items, the first few items are recalled more frequently than the middle items (the primacy effect).
Mind Maps
Mind Map Guidelines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_map Mind Maps in Medicine: http://www.mindmaptutor.com/2011/04/mind-maps-in-medicine/
Min maps help learners comprehend, see the big picture, create new ideas, and build connections.

Mnemonics are learning memory techniques that help learners recall larger pieces of information, especially in the form of lists like characteristics, steps, stages, parts, phases, etc.
The Method of Loci (Memory Palace) is a method of memorizing information by placing each item to be remembered at a point along an imaginary journey. The information can then be recalled in a specific order by retracing the same route through the imaginary journey.

"If you can dream it, you can do it."
- Walt Disney
THE DREAMER What are you trying to make or achieve? What excites and inspires you about it? If you could wave a magic wand and do anything you like –
what would you create? How would it look? What could you do with it? How would that make you feel?
THE REALIST What resources do you need to make this happen –
people, money, materials and technology? What’s your plan? What obstacles will you face? How will you get round
them?
THE CRITICAt critical stages of the project, step back from your work and ask yourself: How does this look? What about the big picture? And the
fine detail? How do I feel when I examine it? How would it look to a customer? A user? A member of
the audience? The client? An expert in this field? Is this the best I/we can do? What would make it better?
