Learn To Learn in 109 minutes

In this monologue podcast, Dr. Justin Sung, a learning coach with over 13 years of experience, shares his insights on how to learn effectively. He begins by debunking common learning myths, such as the idea that a lack of time or innate intelligence hinders learning, or that learning styles are fixed. Instead, he advocates for seeing learning as a system composed of encoding and retrieval, emphasizing the importance of retrieval for beginners. Dr. Sung introduces the concept of orders of learning, distinguishing between lower and higher-order thinking, and stresses the significance of self-management skills, or "enablers," which include time management, task management, and focus. He provides practical advice on time blocking, prioritization using the Eisenhower Matrix, and strategies for improving focus, such as mindfulness and setting realistic expectations.
