My favorite fast learning method is to have an urgent reason for learning something. Not only does it improve your focus and provide you with immediate practice, but it cuts through extraneous bullshit like nothing else.
Remembering the things to do; GTD and OrgMode are my main tools here.
Org Mode is amazing. I use it for notes and todo lists all the time, and it works nicely. But it’s also thoroughly ridiculous in terms of power. Did you know that it has an ASCII-art spreadsheet that can do symbolic integration? It’s true!
:-) Indeed—I regularly take the numbers in a table, do some statistical
analysis on them use R and generate some graphs, which are then included in
the PDF-export.
