Master How to Learn

Welcome to the Learning Hub

Most learners default to rereading or highlighting. These feel safe but lead to poor retention. Evidence shows active, effortful strategies like testing yourself and spacing reviews are far more effective. This hub translates research into step-by-step strategies anyone can use.

Each technique includes: what it is, why it works, how to use it in practice, examples, common mistakes, and recommended tools. This way you can apply them right away instead of guessing. Not sure where to start? Use the 'Technique Finder' quiz to get a recommendation tailored to your challenge.

The Forgetting Curve

Hermann Ebbinghaus showed that without review, most people forget 70% of new information within 24 hours. The solution is strategic review: Active Recall and Spaced Repetition slow forgetting and strengthen long-term memory. This is why flashcards, quizzes, and testing yourself work better than rereading.
