Stop Reading and Start Learning: How to Absorb Information Better

Stop Reading and Start Learning: How to Absorb Information Better | Education 2.0 & 3.0 | Scoop.it

There is no shortage of material that needs to be read in business including marketing copy, business plans, contracts legal documents and of course business books. I love to read but not all business reading is particularly entertaining or well written. And some of the most important stuff is dense, dry and dreadful no matter how much achieving success requires you read it.


So when my inbox is full of necessary reading that I know will put me to sleep, I have to make a special effort to power through it. First, I set aside time with no distractions. No phone, email or TV to draw my focus. Then I find a place with lots of natural light. Lastly I turn on mellow music that I know well so I can get into rhythmic groove. Before you know it the stack is gone and I feel better for having been productive.


Here are more ways to tackle that tough material from my Inc. colleagues.

There are many other techniques for learning from everything read; as an example, there are few of them here; however, "the learning styles" is such a sensible topic nowadays. I would rather talk about recognizing  the strenghts I have for learning in which all the learning styles are included.
