How can we be better at remembering things? How can we truly understand new concepts and bring them in to our lives for the better?

Here are some things that work for me:

• Having a conversation with a friend about the ideas
• Writing down the ideas and trying to flesh out and expand on some of the ideas
• Finding examples in my own life to relate the idea to
  • Places where it would have helped
  • Places where it wouldn’t have helped

Be curious. I mean truly curious about what works for you. Be free to try things and if they aren’t working tweak or try something else.

Since the world is ever changing being able to process and understand new ideas will both make life easier and better. Some things in life require a change in order to take them on board. If you can’t understand the reason for needing the change then how are you to truly better yourself?
