In this episode of Simple Success with John Brandy, John and DT explore spaced repetition, a scientifically backed learning technique that improves memory and understanding over time. Instead of cramming, spaced repetition involves reviewing information at strategic intervals, reinforcing knowledge without burnout.
Using the example of language learning, the hosts illustrate how spacing out study sessions strengthens long-term retention and how this approach can be applied to finance, investing, and personal growth. Whether you're mastering a new skill or improving financial literacy, embracing spaced repetition can lead to more effective and enjoyable learning.
Key Takeaways:
✅ Spaced repetition helps retain information long-term.
✅ Cramming may work short-term, but true mastery comes from spaced learning.
✅ The technique can be applied to language learning, investing, and personal growth.
✅ Consistency and strategic review are more effective than mindless repetition.
Memorable Quotes:
🧠 “Learning isn’t about stuffing your brain—it’s about training it to remember.”
📚 “The best way to master a skill? Give yourself time and come back to it.”
💰 “Just like in investing, steady and consistent efforts lead to lasting success.”
