About Lesson

Balance Between Learning and Doing: For better retention, aim to spend about one-third of your time researching and two-thirds applying.

Application for Deeper Understanding: Actively using knowledge solidifies understanding more than passive consumption.

Activity:
For a topic you’re studying, divide your time into two blocks: one-third for reading and researching, and two-thirds for hands-on practice or exercises.
