On learning and retaining the information:

When I have to learn something I find that writing it out in my own words is very effective. In school I took many, many more notes than everyone else. I don't know how I developed this ability but it works for me. Perhaps it is the constant proof reading that sets the info into my head.

On repeat failures assisting in the learning process:

I have found that the failures are only the beginning of the learning process. When I am learning a new task or routine I often fail a few times and change my actions accordingly. Once I successfully master the routine according to instruction I continue to work on it to make it more efficient and less superf...

I have found that the failures are only the beginning of the learning process. When I am learning a new task or routine I often fail a few times and change my actions accordingly. Once I successfully master the routine according to instruction I continue to work on it to make it more efficient and less superfolous. I try new things to make the routine more efficient. Those changes I try that fail or cause more work are discarded and I try something else. If nothing works I go back to the 'base routine'.
