Learning is like food, ingest it and it will enrich the whole human being.

Formal or informal, knowledge and skills can be developed in six ways:

reading, asking, watching, feeling, talking, thinking.

Good time-management skills: organise study time, effective use of time

"if one cannot arrange that an income of twenty-four hours a day shall exactly cover all proper items of expenditure, one does muddle one’s life definitely." (Bennett, 1910)

Develop emotional literacy: register, recognise, respond.

Learning how the feelings can interfere with your thinking makes a huge difference in managing the impact of your emotions on achieving your goals.

We have to get used to feeling uncomfortable with a little discomfort and a little uncertainty alongside a great deal of positive expectancy. Turn anxiety into anticipation, fear into energy and worry into action.

Learning through reflection: thinking back, recurring themes in thoughts

Getting feedback from other people or using the empty-chair technique to explore ideas from another perspective.

Academic skills:

• reading for a purpose
• note-taking (information, thoughts, reflections, to be concise, using mind maps)
• essay writing
• selecting and using relevant parts of a course (problem solving)
• thinking about ideas and theories
• considering other perspectives
• reflecting on your own learning.
