Learn to rest to learn – Learning like a body-builder

They say muscles grow when resting, between two gym days.

In my experience this also works for learning.

I was in my 20s when I got interested in learning Spanish.

One summer I spent some weeks in Spain.

I took a paper notebook everywhere I went.

Whenever I found or heard a new expression that I liked, I wrote it down.

In the evening, before going to sleep, I revised my notes.

I went through the list of the new words for the day.

I also included some revision of the words from previous days.

The next morning my mind was pouring out the answers at a 90% accuracy rate.

I only slept and rested. My brain did the heavy-lifting.

Just like muscles growing in the resting period.

It worked for me 🎯

 

1-Minute Tip ⏳

Results in learning come from work.

Rest is part of the work.

Do your part. Then let your brain work it out for you.
