# 6 Habits of Super Learners  ## Metadata - Author: [[Thomas Oppong]] - Full Title: 6 Habits of Super Learners - Category: #articles - URL: https://medium.com/p/63d466a254fd ## Highlights - Reading is to the mind what exercise is to your body - they don’t see reading as a chore but as an opportunity to improve their lives, careers and businesses. - Super learners value the process. They don’t have an end goal, they seek consistent improvement. They keep mastering new principles, processes, worldviews, thinking models, etc. The “ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated” pursuit of knowledge is important for their maturity. - Cultivating a growth or adaptable mindset can help you focus more on your most desirable goals in life. It may influence your motivation and could make you more readily able to see opportunities to learn and grow your abilities. - A better way to learn, process, retain and remember information is to learn half the time and share half the time. - That means eating lots of foods associated with slowing cognitive decline — blueberries, vegetables (leafy greens — kale, spinach, broccoli), whole grains, getting protein from fish and legumes and choosing healthy unsaturated fats (olive oil) over saturated fats (butter). - According to recent research, taking short breaks, early and often, can help you learn things better and even improve your retention rate. - Tags: [[favorite]] - “Anything less than 30 is just not enough, but anything more than 50 is too much information for your brain to take in at one time,”
