I have been trying to create a reading habit with my intern at work. Each day we will have a 25 minutes to ourselves just to read. I may be born and raised in a country with English as a national language, but my English is the worst subject that is always fluctuating at the boarder line.
My last read was Limitless by Jim Kwik. This book recommendation was from a online friend. It is proven to help me with my life choices I had made and motivated me to be better and have a CAN DO attitude.
Jim Kwik shared a lot of his life experiences of growing up with learning difficulties at the beginning of this book and been called "The Boy with a Broken Head". How his friend's father navigated him in the right direction and gave him books to improve himself. Yep, his friend's father role came into the picture is very Rich Dad, Poor Dad.
This one person has molded Kwik to a motivator, cognitive learning brain researcher and bestselling author up to date. We all need to meet that one person (probably your friend's father) to make a great impact in our lives. As per reading, that one action is to read. Creating one good habit is to read, and this is one of the key pointers in Kwik's book.
Reading is a form of learning, how can we remember and apply what is relevant. I was introduced to the forgetting curve. This curve shows how information is lost over time when there is no attempt to retain it. Kwik shared the strategy on how he remembers stuff and I had jotted down notes and summaries on how to combat the forgetting curve -
Combat The Forgetting Curve
Step 1: How to remember stuffs
Step 2: Use the FASTER method
Thinking is a process of reasoning through something, during which we ask and answer questions. Step 3: ASK QUESTIONS What is your dominant questions?

I hope it will help anyone who has a goldfish memory like me.
Yours Sincerely,
