12 tips to better retain what you learn.

You can improve your memory with practice.

Use these tactics to strengthen yours.

[Justin Mecham @thejustinmecham]

More time in your day will not help -

But this will:

You don’t need more hours -

You need fewer wasted ones.

Most people think managing
time means doing more tasks.

🚫 Nope 🚫

It’s actually about spending your time smarter.

▶ Without structure, your day controls you
▶ Multitasking often means tasks half-done
▶ Being busy doesn’t equal being productive

Top performers use these methods to win their time:

Warren Buffett 5/25 Rule
Eisenhower Matrix
ABCDE Method
Kanban Board
80/20 Method
1-3-5 Method
Eat the Frog
3-3-3 Method
Time Blocking
MSCW Method
Pickle Jar Method
Pomodoro Technique
Getting Things Done (GTD)

Winning your day isn't about fitting more tasks in.

It's about clearly choosing the right ones.

Protect your focus.

Own your calendar.

Make your minutes count.

On Monday, our EiM Collaboration Group came together to discuss ‘The GTT: From Principles to Practice’, focusing on Dimension 4: Activating hard thinking. We used this D4 one-pager to facilitate meaningful conversations on how great teachers should present content and activities in ways that activate student thinking. The successful implementation of the elements outlined below is key to ensuring that students are thinking hard about the material we want them to learn:

✅ Element 4.1: Structuring
✅ Element 4.2: Explaining
✅ Element 4.3: Questioning
✅ Element 4.4: Interacting
✅ Element 4.5: Embedding
✅ Element 4.6: Activating

Please RP if you would like a copy of the D4 one-pager
