Ask HN: What are your best learning methods/hacks/tips?
I just commented this in another thread, but I highly, highly recommend the free Coursera course Learning How To Learn.In particular, I found that the following worked especially well for me:* Emphasis on balance between focus and diffuse mode: taking a walk or exercising after a focused study session.* Spaced repetition: Anki works wonders. Reviewing notes multiple times is also tremendous.* Sleep: ignored the importance of this for so long, but it helps so much.I made it through undergrad without these, but applying these and the other lessons from the course in my post-graduate classes felt like magic. The results (both in understanding gained and grades) were completely different.
