I want to study, learn and self teach myself things that interest me like learning the Japanese language and learning how to draw but I’ll also sometimes have the issue of information filling up in my mind and overloading without it actually being retained or only a small amount of information being retained
The overloaded feeling sometimes even leads to mild to worser headaches
I absolutely hate this issue because I love self teaching myself things I’m interested in but this issue stops me from self teaching and learning properly
Leitner box work well and because it need you to space your sessions it should help not getting overwhelmed by them. And since you need to chose precisely what you want to learn it make you part the subject.
If you don’t want to try leitner box, defining what you want to learn should help you not trying to learn too much at once.
