Kalid, I have a question, but first a compliment :)
I am enamored with this site. It validates a lot of my learning approaches and is helping me now when I was asking some of these 'how to learn' questions. Thank you! The question:
In my experience, 'generalized overview to specific' is too much required attention span for some listeners when trying to explain; Do you have a recommendation for being able to convey ideas to people that are tired/low attention in high stress situations?
Example: office work and project work. Referenced here: http://betterexplained.com/static/articles/adept-method/
"Start with a rough analogy and sharpen it until you’re covering the technical details." Again, this site is amazing. If you don't get to the question, I am still happy to have found your site and hear how passionate you are about it. Thank you! |

I'm not super experienced with lectures (mostly writing), but I think it works in office settings. Check out this talk from Simon Sinek:

People are usually motivated by the why, the mission, the story. Then you get into the what and how it's accomplished. With math, it can be similar: the "why" sets the stage. Humans in general prefer a narrative to a list of facts (Hacker News readers excepted :-).)
