I am excited to see this sort of content here. I am currently finishing up my senior year of high school and making plans for the summer. I have decided to focus much of my free time on learning, and rationality as well as filing out my knowledge base on math, physics, and writing. These will be a valuable set of skills for collage and the rest of my life. This summer I plan to build a course on learning (free stuff on youtube) first because I want to be rigorous in my understanding of learning and teaching ensures that. Second I am looking forward to the experience of making videos and editing as I have never attempted to do this sort of thing. I have started outlining what I want the course to look like and assembling a bunch of resources, books, people, websites, and studies. I found a book called ”Make it Stick” it is scientific but readable and I recommend it as a resource for self teaching and learning it also has a lot of great information on spaced repetition.

Another great protocol that I recently heard about involves randomly pausing the learning and just letting your mind go blank for ten seconds. I guess this does some incredible things for memory. If you’re a lot smarter than I am you can figure out exactly how much it does for your memory. :)

I believe this is the study the protocol comes from, it has a lot of good information on rest as well as the 10 second breaks.
