The brain has this thing where if you aren't using knowledge, it will weaken and forget most of the memories and pathways you have formed. Similar to how you will lose musscle after not exercising for prolonged periods of time.
Most of you guys already know this.
But if you're an A, then B, then C, then D kind of person, this can become a problem when you need to know multiple skillsets for your future success. How?
I was working on my website I wanted to implement a feature that required an advanced knowledge of JavaScript. I figured since I already knew HTML and CSS very well it was time for me to start learning again. I asked my aunt to get me JavaScript for dummies for Christmas. When I got the book, I studied HARD for the following two weeks and completely dropped everything else.
Surprise surprise… when I decided to sit down at my desk and start coding again, I forgot a very significant amount of information. I had to google and re-learn many things I already knew before.
If this sounds like a problem you have then the solution for this is very simple. Take all of the skills you will need to know and set a goal to study each one for a certain period of time each day. This is my example here:
HTML: 0/2 hours
CSS: 0/2 hours
JavaScript:0/2 hours *After reaching 10 hours on each, put your new knowledge to the test with a project or event. Giving you a short term goal to look forward to.*
PHP: 0/2 hours
SQL: 0/2 hours
The very second you start working, set a timer or stopwatch. The very moment you stop working, pause it. record it on a white board or an app and come back to it later.
You can set your own hours according to your schedule. if you're busy you can do 30 minutes a day on each. If you're younger and live with your parents you can do 3 hours. It really just depends on your commitment level and what your average day looks like.
I've been using this system for the past week and I remember everything I learn pretty damn well. Hope this post helped you guys out.
