Principle 1: Effort / Time Exchange:
- Put in more effort upfront to learn faster
- Avoid shortcuts—learning needs active thinking
- Passive tools (e.g. AI, notes) don’t build memory
- Generation Effect: recalling boosts retention
- Ask: Am I struggling enough to learn?
- Boost struggle by:
- Recalling before checking answers
- Summarizing in your own words
- Making connections between ideas
- 🚀 Struggle smart = faster, deeper learning
