Over the years I have read lots, but I have encountered an obstacle. I typically only remember or I try to apply 20% of the lessons. The other 80% (sometimes 97%) disappears out of my mind… I think the knowledge is playing hide and seek somewhere in the mind.

Within this section of the blog, I will write summaries of the books I have read. The goal I have in mind is for helping me learn and apply the concepts I have read to improve retention within my forgetting curve. I will apply effective learning strategies such as:

• Retrieval
• Elaboration
• Concrete Examples
• Spacing
• Inner Leaving
• Dual Coding

More about these learning strategies can be found on:

Feel free to go into the summaries if you are interested in reading some of these books and what you could learn. Please keep in mind the Disclaimer.
