How To Learn More and Improve Your Memory After years of research, scientists have reached an interesting conclusion: introducing novelty into your learning process helps boosting your productivity. Find some ideas below that can help you achieve this target: Start learning after doing something new - Use your brain’s increased plasticity wisely by setting aside time to learn right after taking in new stimuli. If you meet someone new for coffee or explore a new place, your brain will be more open to making new connections during and right after this time, so you might as well take advantage. From time to time, try a sensory deprivation session in a sensory deprivation floatation tank. This is a water tank big enough for one person, often set up at spas, where you can pay to float in salty water for hours, receiving almost no sensory information at all. When done for short periods of time, the benefits for the brain are quite impressive and your whole being feels like starting a new life, from a higher level of conscience. Make changes to your work environment. Try offsetting the familiarity of learning material by reviewing it in new settings. Change the layout of certain design elements inside your office or, even more, modify the temperature and lighting conditions. Small variations of temperature can change your perception on the environment and can give you a different perception of it. Regarding the light, try to use as much as possible natural light and don’t forget the scientists conclusion: being exposed to dim light as well as too much artificial light makes you both sleepy and also more stressed in the long run.
