Focussed mode - To learn a same thing in best way possible –
Recall the ideas while practicing. Space the practice time
over several days(spaced repetition).

mind obtaining things) just relax and while thinking bout
same thing – To think bout new things

Tool to overcome procrastination : Pomodore technique

CHUNKING
- Chunks are pieces of information that are bound
together through meaning or use that is easy to
remember
- In other words it could be said as relating pieces of info.
To get the overall picture
STEPS TO FORM A CHUNK:
- Focus ur undivided attention on info. You want to chunk
- Understand the basic idea
- Gaining context – Repeating and Practicing to when to
use that chunk
IMPORTANT STEPS TO TAKE WHILE LEARNING :

-RECALL!!!! (Also in various different physical
environments)(Instead of rereading the texts)
- Highlight things carefully(and not too much)
- Test yourself about what you’re learning continuously
and in mini-batches
- Use concept mapping only after knowing the complete
chunks
--The intuitive solutions reached via creative diffused
mode must be carefully verified using the focus mode
--Chunks can help you understand the concepts through
a process called transfer
-- Law of Serendity – Lady luck favours the one who tries
--When you are trying to figure something out, if you
have a good library of chunks, you can more easily skip
to the right solution by—metaphorically speaking
—“listening” to whispers from your diffuse mode. Your
diffuse mode can help you connect two or more chunks
together in new ways to solve novel problems.
-- Mix up your learning in problem solving with various

topics and think more independently
--Try to skip around solved problems in book and try to
solve them independently
--Deliberately practice what you find difficult
--Einstellung : Blocked thoughts due to proceeding
training
--Next time, try using diffused mode when stuck on a
problem(This does not mean use focused mode on
other thing)
