This time lets get less macro and focus more on the nitty-gritty of what you need to do whenyou sit down, roll up your sleeves and try to learn something new.

Yeah, Its Gonna Take EffortNo, Im not going to lecture you like Grandpa about the virtues of hardwork, but your braintakes in a lot every day and remembering everything isnt realistic. Research consistently

shows effort is how you let your grey matter know something is worth retaining.

The more effort you expend, thebetter you learn:

undergraduates in the study scored 29 to 63 percentage points higher on tests when

they used study techniques like recording complete notes, creating comparative charts,

building associations, and crafting practice questions on their screens.

Youre not going to learn much passively. Re-reading material four times was not nearly aseffective asreading it once and writing a summary.Even justwriting by handis beneficial.More effort, better results.

There is a system fordeveloping a near-photographic memoryand it works, but takes somepractice.

The two key things to remember here are testing yourselfandspacing out learning over time.

Testingyourself isessential.Even if youfailthe testsit helps.Evendeliberately screwing up

helps.

Spacing learning out over time is key.This tells your brain this stuff shouldnt be discarded.

Cramming can help you pass a test butits not the way to really learn anything:

In more than two dozen studies published over the past five years, he has demonstrated

that spaced repetition works, increasing knowledge retention by up to 50 percent. And

Kerfoots method is easily adapted by anyone who needs to learn and remember, not

just those pursuing MDs.

Feelinga connection to the materialis powerful. Finding an angle on the subject that makesyoucuriousabout it is gold.

Is it too boring? Get invested by betting on your ability to remember it. Yeah, likegambling.Promise yourself a reward before you go to bed and youll learn moreas you sleep.

Dont just try to drill knowledge in,connect it to things you already know.Really try tounderstandit, not just memorizeit. This is whyteaching someone else is a great way forhelping you learn.If you cant explain it, you dont know it.

Steroids for Your Brain

Save the healthy eating for another time,coffee and a donutis steroids for your brain. Yes,itsscience.Yes, Red Bull isnt just for partying,its also for studying.

I dont want to recommend cigarettes to anyone but if youre already a smoker, light upbefore you learn.Nicotine does improve cognitive performance.

Fundamentals

Were always looking for amagic bullet.Truth is that just as with getting in shape,fundamentals like getting enoughsleepandregular exercisehave far greater effects thanwell-marketed supplements. Seriously,napsafterlearningarepowerful.

You need tocalm down and concentrate.Turnoffthemusic.Nogroup studying.Stopkidding yourselfyou cantmultitask.(Guys, when studying stay away frompretty girls.Dont eventhink about them.)

Little Tricks

There are lots oflittle tipsthat can help as well:

When trying to learn somethinggesturingcanhelp.Grislyphotosand anything emotionally

evocative cement things in your head.Talktoyourself.Pause afterlearning.

Before being tested besocialand think aboutsmart people.Go for awalkinnature.

To improve recall, do you best to create replicate the environment you learned the material

in: sameposture,sameemotional state,etc. Close youreyes.Lay down toimprove problem

solving.

Too lazy for all this? Get a good luck charm. Seriously, theywork.

How To Be Resilient: 8 Steps To Success When Life Gets Hard

Stick with it!

Be resilient!

Never give up!

I see a lot of stuff about resilience, persistence and grit. What I dont see is a lot of legitimateinfo on how to actually increase those qualities.

How can we be more resilient? How can we shrug off huge challenges in life, persist and in the endsucceed?

So I looked at the most difficult scenarios for insight. (Who needs resilience in easysituations, right?)

When life and death is on the line, what do the winners do that the losers dont?

Turns out surviving the most dangerous situations has some good lessons we can use

to learn how to be resilient in everyday life.

Whether its dealing with unemployment, a difficult job, orpersonal tragedies, here areinsights that can help.

1) Perceive And Believe

The companyalready had two rounds of layoffs this year but I never thought they would let

me go.

Yeah, the argument was getting a little heated but I didnt think he was going to hit me.

The first thing to do when facing difficulty is to make sure you recognize it as soon as

possible.


6/13

Sounds obvious but weve allbeen in denial at one point or another. What do people whosurvive life-threatening situations have in common?

They move through those stages of grief from denial to acceptance faster:

ViaDeep Survival: Who Lives, Who Dies, and Why:

They immediately begin to recognize, acknowledge, and even accept the reality of theirsituation They move through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance veryrapidly.

Whats that thing doctors say when theyre able to successfully treat a medical problem?

Good thing we caught it early.

When you stay oblivious or live in denial, things get worseoften in a hurry. When

you know youre in trouble you can act.

Nobody is saying paranoia is good but research shows a littleworrying is correlated withliving a longer life.

Okay, like they say in AA, you admitted you have a problem. Whats the next thing the mostresilient people do?

2) Manage Your Emotions

Sometimes when SCUBA divers drown they still have air in their oxygen tanks. Seriously.

How is this possible? Something goes wrong, they panic, and instinctivelypull the regulatorout of their mouth.


M. Ephimia Morphew, a psychologist and founder of the Society for Human Performance inExtreme Environments, told me of a series of accidents shed been studying in which scuba

divers were found dead with air in their tanks and perfectly functional regulators. Only theyhad pulled the regulators out of their mouths and drowned. It took a long time for researchersto figure out what was going on. It appears that certain people suffer an intense feeling of

suffocation when their mouths are covered. That led to an overpowering impulse to uncoverthe mouth and nose. The victims had followed an emotional response that was in general agood one for the organism, to get air. But it was the wrong response under the special, non-natural, circumstances of scuba diving.

When youre having trouble breathing whats more naturalthan to clear an obstruction from

your mouth?

Now just a brief second of clear thinking tells you this is a verybad idea while divingbutwhen you panic, you cantthink clearly.

Rash decision making rarely delivers optimal results in everyday life either.

Resilient people acknowledge difficult situations, keep calm and evaluate things rationally sothey can make a plan and act.


Al Siebert, in his bookThe Survivor Personality,writes that The best survivors spend almostno time, especially in emergencies, getting upset about what has been lost, or feelingdistressed about things going badly. For this reason they dont usually take themselves too

seriously and are therefore hard to threaten.

(For methods Navy SEALS, astronauts and the samurai use to keep calm under pressure,

clickhere.)

So you know youre in trouble but youre keeping your cool. Might there be a simple way tosidestep all these problems? Yeah.

3) Be A Quitter

Many of you might be a little confused right now: A secret to resilience is quitting? That

doesnt make any sense.

What do we see when we look at people who survive life and death situations? Many of

them were smart enough to bail early.


Its a matter of looking at yourself and assessing your own abilities and where you are

mentally, and then realizing that its better to turn back and get a chance to do it again than to

go for it and not come back at all. We are a society of high achievers, but in the wilderness,such motivation can be deadly

The best way to take a punch from a UFC fighter and to survive a hurricane are the same:Dont be there when it hits.

You quit baseball when you were 10 and quit playing the piano after just 2 lessons. Nobodysticks with everything. You cant.

When the company starts laying people off, theres always one guy smart enough to

immediately jump ship and preemptively get a new job.

And some people are smart enough to realize, I am never going to be a great Tango dancerand should double my efforts at playing poker.

And you know what results this type of quitting has? It makes you happier, reduces

stress and increases health.

ViaThink Like a Freak: The Authors of Freakonomics Offer to Retrain Your Brain :

Wrosch found that people who quit their unattainable goals saw physical and psychologicalbenefits. They have, for example, less depressive symptoms, less negative affect over time,

he says. They also have lower cortisol levels, and they have lower levels of systemicinflammation, which is a marker of immune functioning. And they develop fewer physicalhealth problems over time.

You can do anythingwhen you stop trying to do everything.

(For more on how to determine what you should stick with and what you should abandon,clickhere.)

Okay, so maybe you cant bail and really do need tobe resilient. What does the research sayyou can do to have more grit? It sounds crazy

4) Be Delusional

Marshall Goldsmithdid a study of incrediblysuccessful people.After assembling all the datahe realized the thing they all had in common.

And then he shouted: These successful people are all delusional!

ViaSupersurvivors: The Surprising Link Between Suffering and Success:

This is not to be misinterpreted as a bad thing. In fact, being delusional helps us become

more effective. By definition, these delusions dont have to be accurate. If they were totally

accurate, your goals would be too low. Goldsmith noticed that although illusions of controlexpose people to risk of failure, they do something else that is very interesting: they motivate

people to keep trying even when theyve failed Successful people fail a lot, but they try a

lot, too. When things dont work,they move on until an idea does work. Survivors and greatentrepreneurs have this in common.

Crazy successful people and people who survive tough situations are all overconfident. Veryoverconfident.

Some of you may be scratching your head: Isnt step one all about not being in denial?About facing reality?

You need to make a distinction between denial about the situationand overconfidence in

your abil iti es.

The first one is very bad, but the second one can be surprisingly good. See the worldaccuratelybut believe you are a rockstar.

ViaSupersurvivors: The Surprising Link Between Suffering and Success:

Denying or distorting a bad situation may be comforting in the short term, but its potentially

harmful in the long run because it will be almost impossible to solve a problem unless youfirst admit you have one. In contrast, having an especially strong belief in ones personal

capabilities, even if that belief is somewhat illusory, probably helps you to solve problemsA useful, if somewhat simplistic, mathematical formula might be: a realistic view of thesituation + a strong view of ones ability to control ones destiny through ones efforts =

grounded hope.

So this is how superheroes must feel: theres definitely trouble, but youre calm and you feel

like youre awesome enough to handle this.

But we need to move past feelings. What actions are going to see you through this mess?

5) Prepare Even IfIts Too Late For Preparation

Folks, I firmly believe there is no such thing as a pretty good alligator wrestler.

Who survives life threatening situations? People who have done it before. People who

have prepared.

Now even if you cant truly prepare for a layoff or a divorce, you can work to havegoodproductive habits and eliminate wasteful ones.

Good habits dont tax yourwillpoweras much as deliberate actions and will help you bemore resilient.

How do you survive a WW2 shipwreck and shark attacks? Keep preparing for the future,

even when youre in the midst of trouble.

He had heard that the Japanese would useaircraft to strafe shipwrecked Americans. The life belt could be blown up through a rubbertube. He cut the tube off and kept it, reasoning that if the Japanese spotted them, he could slipunder water and breathe through the tube. He was planning ahead. He had a future in hismind, and good survivors always concentrate on the present but plan for the future.

Bad training can be worse than no training. When police practice disarming criminals theyoften conclude by handing the gun to their partner.

One officer trained this so perfectly that in the field he took a gun from a criminalandinstinctively handed it right back.

ViaMake It Stick:

Johnson recounts how officers are trained to take a gun from an assailant at close quarters, amaneuver they practice by role-playing with a fellow officer. It requires speed and deftness:striking an assailants wrist with one hand to break his grip while simultaneously wresting the

gun free with the other. Its a move that officers had been in the habit of honing through

repetition, taking the gun, handing it back, taking it again. Until one of their officers, on a callin the field, took the gun from an assailant and handed it right back again.

Youreexpecting the best but prepared for the worst. Perfect. Is now the time to de-stress?Heck, no.

6) Stay Busy, Busy, Busy

Whats the best way to survive and keep your emotions in check when things are hard?

Work, work, work.


Remember the saying Get organized or die. In the wake of trauma, Work, work, work, as

Richard Mollica wrote. He is a psychiatrist at Harvard who studies trauma. This is the singlemost important goal of traumatized people throughout the world. The hands force order on

the mind.

When things go bad, people get sad or scared, retreat and distract themselves. That can quellthe emotions, but it doesnt get you out of this mess.

Resilient people know that staying busy not only gets you closer to your goals but its

also the best way to stay calm.

And believe it or not, were allhappier when were busy.

In his book Touching the Void, Joe Simpson tells the harrowing story of how he broke hisleg 19,000 feet up while climbing a mountain.

Actually he didnt break his leg he shattered it. Like marbles in a sock. His calf bonedriven through his knee joint.

He and his climbing partner assumed he was a dead man. But he survived.

One of his secrets was making his slow, painful descent into a game.


Simpson was learning what it means to be playful in such circumstances: A pattern of

movements developed after my initial wobbly hops and I meticulously repeated the pattern.Each pattern made up one step across the slope and I began to feel detached from everythingaround me. I thought of nothing but the patterns. His struggle had become a dance, and thedance freed him from the terror of what he had to do.

How does this work? Its neuroscience. Patterned activities stimulate the same reward center

cocaine does.


And tellingly, a structure within the basal ganglia is activated during feelings of safety,

reward, and simply feeling great. Its called the striatum and drugs such as cocaine set it off,but so does the learning of a new habit or skill and the performance of organized, patternedactivities

Even boring things can be fun if you turn them into a game with stakes, challenges and littlerewards.

And we can use this same system for everyday problems:How many resumes can you sendout today? Can you beat yesterday?

Celebrating small winsis something survivors have in common.


Survivors take great joy from even their smallest successes. That is an important step increating an ongoing feeling of motivation and preventing the descent into hopelessness. Italso provides relief from the unspeakable stress of a true survival situation.

Youre a machine. Making progress despite huge challenges. Whats the final way to take

your resilience to the next level? Other people.

8) Get Help And Give Help

Getting help is good. Thats obvious. But sometimes were ashamed or embarrassed and fail

to ask for it. Dont let pride get in the way.

Whats more fascinating is that even in the worst of times, giving help can help you.

By taking on the role of caretaker we increase the feeling ofmeaning in our lives.This helpspeople in the worst situations succeed.

Leon Weliczker survived the Holocaust not only because of his resourcefulness but alsobecause he felt he had to protect his brother.


When his fifteen-year-old brother Aaron came in, Leon was suddenly filled with love and afeeling of responsibility for the two boys. He was shedding the cloak of the victim in favor ofthe role of the rescuer. Terrence Des Pres, in his bookThe Survivor,makes the point that inthe journey of survival, helping someone else is as important as getting help.

Sometimes being selfless isthe best way to be selfish.And the research shows thatgivers areamong the most successful peopleand theylive longer.


Helping someone else is the best way to ensure your own survival. It takes you out ofyourself. It helps you to rise above your fears. Now yourea rescuer, not a victim. And seeinghow your leadership and skill buoy others up gives you more focus and energy to persevere.The cycle reinforces itself: You buoy them up, and their response buoys you up. Many peoplewho survive alone report that they were doing it for someone else (a wife, boyfriend, mother,son) back home.

So once the threat is passed, once the dust has settled, can we have a normal life again?Actually, sometimes, life can be even better.

Sum Up

So when life is daunting and we need resilience, keep in mind:

1. Perceive And Believe

2. Manage Your Emotions

3. Be A Quitter

4. Be Delusional

5.

Prepare Even If Its Too Late For Preparation6. Stay Busy, Busy, Busy
