Cal Newport's Study Hacks is excellent place to start:

In general, the best way to learn and retain memory of it is to collect, organize and repeat in small chunks, which you know already. To optimize the cycle is the tricky part. For collecting, keep a simple blog or a private posterous, so emailing it to yourself for future reference. And, use tags, my friend. Lots of tagging of your bookmarks. Amazing how much learning to know where things are when you need them is a handy thing to do.
As about organizing, have a buffer time on Sunday (as Cal would say) to organize the week ahead. And remember heavy ≠ optimal.
- nekopa 17y agoInteresting link, that is the kind of stuff I'm looking for. Yes, organizing is crucial. I am basically trying to do the collecting and repeating recursively. All of the various projects I have set up use a fair amount of similar "chunks", but in slightly different contexts, so I hope to have built in the repetition, but in an interesting way. The overall organizing I am still working on, as I am putting the finishing touches on the 'syllabus' I am going through. It looks as though I will have to write some custom software to do it, which is kind of good news in a way, because by doing that I will also work on areas which I am studying, i.e. data visualization. Thanks for the link
