“ANYONE WHO STOPS LEARNING IS OLD, WHETHER AT TWENTY OR EIGHTY.” —HENRY FORD

Are you forcing your child to study and learn? Is your workplace demanding you to keep learning new skills? Are you facing trouble studying and reading for your research? Are you unable to prepare for an exam? 

Dear reader, student, parent, researcher, professional, are you looking for solutions to the above challenges? At Brain & Co., we have you covered. 

Learning is the key to keeping the mind young. It is imperative to continue learning in this age of supercomputers, every day changing technologies, life-altering discoveries and endless information flow. Any development and growth requires a fundamental life skill. Study.com has emphasised on the Importance of Learning.

Learning is now a life skill!

There is a perennial need to learn new subjects, techniques to do things and technologies. In addition, there is a high demand for well-researched documentation and analytics. And a requirement to keep up with the updates. To support you in your quest for knowledge, an endless supply of learning courses are available on varied subjects and topics. However, How to Learn is a topic that remained vastly untouched until Jim Kwik gave us techniques on the same.

Let us tell you a story of Jim Kwik

Jim is the CEO of Kwik Learning and founder of Superhero You. He is an International Speaker, Social Entrepreneur and Memory and Speed Reading Expert.

One might think it was easy for him. Well, think again. Jim was often called “boy with the broken brain” by his teachers for his apparent “slowness”. He believed for a long time that he would never be as good as the other kids. He struggled to survive at school. However, as the years passed by, he decided to explore his brain. On his journey, he discovered that he could work on himself and developed accelerated learning habits.

What we understand from Jim’s story is that no brain is broken. There is always a possibility to do better with a strong willingness to play. Jim’s mission eventually became to help people survive in the 21st-century by mastering the art of learning.  

The common obstacles to learning 

  1. Lack of focus – No matter how hard you try, you keep repeating what you read
  2. Multiple distractions – Surrounded by family or friends who keep disturbing you
  3. Social media attraction – Constant need to see what is happening online
  4. Notifications from endless devices – Reaching out to your phone/tablet every time it rings
  5. Hunger and sleep issues – Lack of sleep or hunger pangs not fulfilled with brain food
  6. Plain laziness – Pushing it for later, preferring to laze around
  7. Lack of motivation – No strong stimulation
  8. FOMO (Fear of Missing out on other activities) – Catching up with the world is more important
  9. Planning fallacy

Solutions to overcome the challenges

  1. Meditation – Meditation helps you concentrate better as are in a calm state of mind
  2. Distraction Alert – Inform everyone not to disturb you while studying, use entertainment as a reward post-completion
  3. Social media consumption – Set alerts on your phone when the usage crosses a limit
  4. Put notifications off across apps – Read further to avoid online distractions
  5. Eat brain food – Fruits, good quality fat, nuts and green vegetables
  6. Sleep Issue – https://wetrainbrains.com/sleep-issues/
  7. Stop being lazy – Make tasks fun, reward yourself
  8. Learn to say NO to get rid of FOMO – Focus on the long term benefits
  9. Working according to plan – Develop habits <Insert Link on Building habits>

Neurofeedback

Research has shown that all learning is state-dependent. Great learners all have the same thing in common – the mindset and state of learning. No matter what your background, age, level of education, you can always develop new systems to change.

If the above solutions don’t work, Neurofeedback supports you in building the state you require to get into learning. To learn more, watch this video. At Brain & Co., our mission is to train your brain to be more productive using neurofeedback. Learning is a lifelong skill, and we invest in continued academic success and professional development for you and your children.
