action to keep it there. The
steepest drop in memory
happens quickly after
learning, so it's important to
revisit the information you've
learned sooner rather than
later.
SPACED REVISION
 By definition, spaced repetition, also known as distributed practice, is an extremely effective
learning approach where lessons are retaken at increasing intervals until knowledge is fully
embedded in long-term memory.
FOCUSED THINKING VS
DIFFUSED THINKING
 Focused Thinking is concentrated, conscious and relatively predictable. By contrast, Diffuse
Thinking is relaxed, occurs largely subconsciously, and can result in surprising connections.
