How To Learn Effectively

I know you have already learned too much. I know you have your way of learning. What I want to say in this article are some tips that you can add to your learning strategies. Let's start.


The tips will be in 3 stages.

Planning

Split The Full Course Into Small Pieces.

You need to determine the quantity of daily learning and know what you have to learn today. So "What is the quantity of daily learning?" will lead us to the next tip.

Don't make it hard.

When splitting the course, remember that continuity is more important than quantity. Make it easy to learn as a habit. It's useless to learn in a discontinuous method.

Structure

Make cheatsheet.

Don't put your brain at risk of remembering. You don't need to remember everything. You need to remember what you need to use.

Try the code by yourself.

When watching a course in programming, you see someone who codes. It is not enough to learn effectively. I know you understand the code in front of you. But you should try this code by yourself to keep it in your unconscious brain. For example: After watching the syntax of the function try it by yourself and see the result, or try the same code for your instructor. Additional benefit: if you try a different code, you may see different results and problems that your instructor doesn't try it. It is a chance to gain more information.

Behavior

Watch a tutorial on a project.

When finishing a course, don't invent by yourself. See someone coding what you learned. Get inspiration about the process of creating. It is more effective than trying to code by yourself in the beginning. It also helps you to be confident.

Create 2-3 apps by yourself.

It is the step of mastering. After watching a tutorial on a project, make your portfolio. Create 2-3 apps to make everything clear, to know what you understand and don't understand. The more project you create, the better you will be.


I know you may know all these steps, but writing this article in this structure helps me make the stages of learning Clearer for me.
