Learning how to Learn

What is Learning?

• Most of the heavy lifting is done by our unconscious (how to run, how to have a conversation)
• Learning actually changes the structure of the brain (so does taking a nap)
• Bullet Three

Focused

• working intently on a problem
• intense focus
• Nodes are tighter together

Diffused

• hmm shower thoughts
• Nodes are spread out
• Access of different patterns

SLEEP

When awake

• Neurons enlarge when awake
• Being awake creates toxic poisons
• Awake for a long time
  • driving with sugar in your gas tank

When Asleep

• Neurons shrink
• sleep washes away toxic poisons

Dreaming

• Helps "file away knowledge"
• learning right before you sleep -> dreams
• dreaming about what you are learning is great!

Procrastination
