Hello everyone. As you know there are lots of information about programming and related topics. Sometimes is really frustrating to constantly be go...

Nice post!
Indeed, that course of Barbara Oakley is really good for all meta-learning concepts.
For more depth on the concepts of 'Focused' and 'Diffused' modes, I recommend the book by Daniel Kahneman, Thinking Fast and Slow.
Also, as a general suggestion for the following articles, take it easy on the gifs. They can be distracting to an otherwise very interesting post.
Yes, the amount of GIFs made me skip this post entirely. I find it very distracting when something is moving on the screen while I try to read.
Thank you for the feedback. In fact, I was wondering about gifs. I am going to try with fewer gifs next time.
I know a few commenters felt a little iffy about the use of gifs, but may I say:
Sharing these ideas and associating them to clear & efficient visual cues requires an eye for minimalist communication and effective memory association. And you definitely have it!
Awesome article for those of us ramping up on new areas of knowledge.
Keep it up! 👍
Your post is very insightful. Made me recall my personal eureka moments and how they came about. I'd so much love to practice this more often.
Also, I'd prefer more emojis to gifs. Emojis tend to be more subtle in emphasizing content 😊.
Thank you.
Thank you reading and thank you for your valuable feedback.
I love those "learn how to learn" posts, they are very useful :)
They are indeed. I like how the topic is no longer an obscure science by some researchers but is being brought to the public. And hopefully, we have an increase in 'professional learners'
I agree! It’s especially important for programmers, since the overwhelm caused by the amount of information is not sustainable.
I wish learning how to learn would be taught in ever computer science degree!
You are completely right! I was thinking about it while writing this post as something I wish was taught at universities.
Yes! It might come. 💫
We had a "invent a new lesson for young people (8-10 years)" lesson this year, and we choose a course titled "learn how to learn on internet", and it was great to think on how younger people might use the web to find informations :)
Thanks for sharing. Spot on! This matches up with talks and articles. Like the TED talks titled Need inspiration, go for a walk.
I read about how memory recall improved after sleep in an experiment.
And someone recommended in a post to walk the long way to work and do the dishes and go for a shower etc. knowing that your frame might come up with something when not focusing. Thanks for teaching me about "diffuse", I haven't heard of that.
A lot of problem solving in code or coming up with ideas happens when I am not at my laptop. Maybe alone or talking to people or watching a YT video which sparks off an idea... "Hmm I wonder if I could make a database using only gists? It's so crazy it might actually work!"
Doing the dishes works for me. It is incredible efficient and I am cleaning my home lol.
My mindset has been change just by reading your article and I am looking for forward to your next..
I am going to focus on those points you highlighted to better my learning experience and make it more enjoyable.
Thanks.
I like your article. But, please, don't use gifs images next time :)
I kinda like the gifs... just not as many. One or two is fine (even better if they are at the end).
Thank you for your suggestions.
Thank you for reading. This feedback is very useful.

This is amazing. Thanks.
Also I took that course..cool😉😁👍✌️
Thank you to share!
Wow, really like this article, might just be the GIFS 🤟
