Why do all of us always envy the smartest one around? Because he/she can rapidly grasp any new concept faster than the rest. But what makes these geniuses so special? Is it just the intellect they possess? No, it's also their methods of learning that largely determine their success. The ability to learn new concepts quickly is a huge asset, but it's not easily acquired. It comes with hard work, focus, and precision. These people grasp information effectively, learn new things in a shorter amount of time, and expand their abilities and knowledge way more easily as compared to their peers. So, how do you keep up with them? Everyone can learn to learn faster with just a few simple hacks to help boost the learning process. Here's how.

1. Focus Your Attention

Always remember that when you are trying to grasp a concept, it's not about how many hours you spend on it, it's about how focused you are. Otherwise, the time may just as well be wasted. Just think about it – the amount of time spent on learning should be determined by how many hours were spent paying plain, focused attention to the topic. Get rid of any possible distraction so that at least the little time spent would be effective. If you feel tired or lose attention, just take a quick break and get back to the topic.

2. Teach Someone Else

Tired of learning but not to sure of how much you know? Well, put it to test. Help a friend or someone else who is learning the same concept. Teaching others can polish your knowledge as well. It helps speed up the learning process, and you remember more. This is an effective learning strategy applied by many teachers as they prepare to teach. To speed up the learning process, they also highlight important points and organize their information into a proper structure.

3. Number Of Repetitions

The time spent on learning something is not nearly as important as the number of repetitions. Many top performers and geniuses recommend this method of learning. Repetitions have the power to wire your brain. The number of repetitions used to learn something can determine how well you grasp a concept. No matter how long you study or how many chapters have been read, one browse is just not enough. Going through it a couple of times can ensure that it sticks in your head.

4. Break It Down, Make It Simple

Stuffing too much matter into your head can just end up being of no use. Break it down into smaller bits, and it will be easier to understand. Any skill can be easier to master when the knowledge is imparted in small chunks. By doing this, any complex subject can be grasped in lesser time as opposed to mugging up a large piece of information. This is also important for the brain as the chunking helps it imbibe the concept more efficiently. By building chunk by chunk, over a period, you will completely master the whole process.

5. Take Notes And Jot Down Key Points

As mentioned above, when we break down a complex topic into key points, it gets simplified and is easier to grasp. However, these points can be difficult to remember at one go, so always note them down. They say when you write something, it's equivalent to reading it out a couple of times. It also helps if you take notes while the lesson is being taught as it will still be fresh in your head. It builds your attention, and you will be able to identify important concepts. Learning something new can be a pleasant experience, but it sure is a challenge to most of us. But the more you simplify the process, the more quickly you grasp the concept. These hacks will help you improve your learning process. However, it's also important to take enough rest. Lack of rest can drain your energy, which also means your brain would not be able to function at its best. Rest can help reboot your focus, refresh your mind, and recharge you overall. This way, you can learn more to get the results you want. Now that you know how simple it is to become a genius, go on and apply these hacks to your next learning session.
