How to Learn Things Super-Quick
Just about the time I’m thinking that I really need to begin a regular practice schedule – rather than hit or miss – if I want to get really good at playing the keyboard for the little local band I’m in (and we’re playing a dance gig in March – ack!), I run across this fabulous slide presentation!

A visual slide presentation is worth a thousand words, and I think this one says it all. Spaced practice, here I come! 🙂
Thank you for your comments. Yes, long-term retention can be enhanced a number of ways, even when information cannot be immediately applied:
1) Remember to repeat and repeat to remember (from “Brain Rules” by John Medina). Reinforce content with both massed and intermittent repetition/reinforcement.
2) 6X 6W (6 times, 6 ways). Have learners revisit content during the training event at least 6 times and in 6 different ways – writing it, discussing it, playing a game with it, taking a quiz about it, creating drawings or 3-dimensional representations to remember content, etc.
3) Have learners do teach-backs where they teach someone else what they’ve learned or they do presentations about the content.
Thank you! Good map to slay the giant and helpful in filtering information overload. Any guides on long-term retention when learned info cannot be immediately appled?
