For my project I wanted to completely change how I study. I chose to use the book “A Mind for Numbers” to learn new strategies to achieve this goal because it seemed to go over every aspect of how to learn and do well in school and was even geared more towards science students like myself. Broadly speaking, I had two main takeaways from this book (although there were several other specific strategies that it went over). They are learning to form new habits and use them to your advantage and “chunking”, the process of how your brain learns, processes, and stores information and how to make these “chunks” strong so you are able to use them later. Guided by what the book said, I developed several strategies that worked well for me and kept track of these mainly by using a weekly/ daily planner and a time blocking planner.
