You just remember one rule, and try and incorporate to your life.
After somewhat long period of passive trial-and-error, you either integrate it or toss it.
After six months of this, you come back to it and maybe pick up one more.
That's the right way to do this. Not memorizing the rules here and trying to add it all to your life. That will lead to disaster.
Three concrete things I picked up from this course and integrated into my life:
- Exercise is really good for my brain. I exercise regularly now. Looking good in a proper shirt doesn't require you to exercise much. But I do it regularly for the brain.
- Recall over revision. When studying something for the second time, I try to recall rather than read the stuff again. I see exercise and quizzes in whole new light now.
- Background processing. Spend time doing something else, and a solution to a problem you weren’t actively thinking about magically appears.
The same goes for other techniques amd such. I only remember one of Feynman's five(?) learning techniques and practice it consciously and actively. The one that tells you to teach others.
I don't remember finishing this Coursera course, but it made my life better.
