Ways to learn better

http://oedb.org/library/college-basics/hacking-knowledge

Here's a summary:
Health: Get up and walk around to improve blood circulation, eat breakfast, eat light lunch.
Balance: Take a 5-10 min break every hour, take a walk around the neighbourhood, change subject focus.
Focus: Focus on whatever you're studying and don't worry about other things, take a bath, use speedreading.
Technique: Draw what you're trying to achieve, map your task flow, brainstorm, laugh.
More techniques: Write, don't type. Writing stimulates ideas. Carry a notebook to jot down thoughts. Keep a journal of what you're learning and to track your experiences over time. Organize your notebook by using sticky colored tabs.
More techniques: Read as much as you can, learn a new language, figure out what you don't know and learn it.
Motivation: Ask yourself why do you want to learn, set a goal, have faith in your ability to learn, constrain yourself by setting deadlines and limiting time to do something, remember that every skill can be learned.
Self-studies: Write all that you know about a topic, this will help you realize what you don't know. Learn the right things first, for instance, don't learn a new language by starting with grammar, spelling, plan your learning.

W. Clement Stone once said "Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve."
