4. Generate answers before you find an actual answer
When you are actually trying to think an answer to something before being given the actual answer, you’re burning your brain and actually regenerating. Whenever you wade through the unknown and come puzzling across it first, you are way more likely to learn and remember a solution than when somebody would actually explain it to you right away. In an academic setting, you should go through your lessons earlier before class starts while, at work, you can supply your own idea while talking with your boss.
