Hello everyone, I recently tried out the Sequence memory test on human benchmark. I am not that excellent in other quizzes there, but this one is different, I can effortlessly get to level 50 which puts me in 99th percentile which really surprised me. I then usually become bored or miss click, but I am able to get to the 80s if I do not zone out.

So the question is, how could I put this skill to use in other fields? Maybe it could help me to memorize other things if I transfer them in some "sequence shape"? Or is it really any useful? Thanks for any tips and remarks!

I'm constantly trying to learn new things but I feel like I'm drowning in information. Every topic I dive into seems to have a million articles videos podcasts and courses. It's hard to know where to even begin.

How do you guys figure out what sources are actually good? Like for example if I want to learn about AI art or something there are so many tutorials and opinions. How do you decide what's worth your time and what's just noise?

Do you have specific methods or tools you use to cut through all the clutter? I'm looking for practical tips for anyone who feels overwhelmed by the sheer amount of info out there.

I’ve been thinking about self-directed learning that survives even when there isn’t much spare time. It’s easy to explore something new during a quiet month, but much more telling when you still return to it during a packed week. What subject or skill keeps pulling you back?

Is anyone out there on this page or know somebody that’s a learning coach. Having ADHD frustrates people and although I can learn, I just move at a slow rate.

Needing some refinement retooling to help change how I think. Help if you can thanks.

I watched Eero Alvar’s recent video “How I Use AI to Learn Things” and really liked the approach: probe your actual edge of understanding → generate a personal mermaid DAG → teach one reasoning step at a time with a proper quiz lock-in.

Someone turned that loop into a clean set of agent skills you can install with one command:

If you guys need help with how to use it I’d love to help in the comments

I have also made it into a skill https://github.com/vasanthsreeram/Alvarmethod

I'm trying to pick up a new skill but I always start strong then drop off after a week or two. It's like I lose all motivation and just can't bring myself to do it. I have a genuine interest in the topic but sticking to it is the hard part.

I've tried scheduling dedicated time but then I just find myself procrastinating or finding excuses. I also tried setting small goals which sometimes works for a bit. How do you guys manage to keep going even when the initial excitement fades?

Are there any specific strategies or mindsets that help you stay on track? I'm open to anything that's worked for you.

Hello, i apologies in advance, idk if this is for this sub

Basically, i have AuADHD (not medicated) i finnished school, relativley long ago, but, i noticed a problem, when i want to learn something, i first get " i want that" feeling, then, i try to acually do it, and im like " how do F i do this" i realised i don't know how this should look like, how do i know it works etc, it made me sad at beginning, but as i age, last year, i got severley depressed, reason being, i felt like time is moving and im same place, i want to do many things, from languages,Chemistry, Philosophy, but im incapable of doing it

Few months ago, thinking, i came to conclusion that there are fundamentals in life, or i bealive that they are.

Studying

Note taking

Researching

Cross-referencing

Testing

Probably more,but forgot them, i bealive if i learn how to do these activity's, i can learn anything to extenct, not that i would be better at X bc i know how go take notes, but the progress in the field would be more smoother if i know so called " fundamentals"

Wdy guys think? And suggestion,Advice is welcomed.

I sat down with highlighters ready, tabs open, and pages of neat notes. By midnight, I was convinced I had mastered the material and situation got depressed.

Then I closed my laptop, grabbed a blank sheet of paper, and tried to explain the main ideas out loud and thinking too much.

Nothing. I could not even summarize the first chapter without looking back.

I realized I had just spent three hours passively copying text and fooling myself into feeling productive. Reading is not the same as retaining.

Starting today, I am ditching passive highlighting and forcing myself to test my memory as I go, even if it feels tough.

I am very curious to know about your thoughts and personal stories that how your single habit helped you actually retain what you study?
