In episode #124 chat with William Wadsworth, a memory and productivity psychologist, author, and host of the Exam Study Expert podcast.
Highlights:
1. If you feel overwhelmed, confused, or frustrated – you are likely simply cognitively overloaded.
2. When you understand Cognitive Load Theory you can combat procrastination and be a more effective learner.
3. Optimize intrinsic load by breaking tasks into manageable components and applying full cognitive power to each step.
4. Identify and address external distractions like technology and environmental factors (use headphones as a signal for focused work and create a tangents list for future exploration)
5. Externalize “to-do” lists to minimize mental clutter and stay focused on the task at hand.
6. Recognize the role of germane load in fostering creativity and insights and embrace spaces for idea generation, such as walks or shower time.
