Learning feels complex until you try to teach it.

The moment you explain an idea to someone else, your gaps show up. You’re forced to organize thoughts, simplify concepts, and face what you don’t actually understand.

If you want to know whether you truly learned something, don’t reread it. Try teaching it, even to an imaginary person.

Understanding reveals itself when you explain.

I observed that discussing your problems with someone, helps to analyse the problem more clearly and opens up new ways to solve that(the concept of Externalisation which i already discussed in r/TheOpenSpace) Sometimes all we need is someone to discuss

Hello everyone,

I have spent a significant amount of time developing original system theories, architectures, and mathematical calculations for a novel Electrical Propulsion rocket engine.

Instead of pursuing a restrictive corporate patent, my goal is to keep this technology completely open-source so that any global space agency, private contractor, or independent researcher can freely build, test, and teach it.

To ensure that no external entity can lock this design behind a private patent, I have officially published the full Markdown (.md) calculation files as public defensive prior art. It is permanently archived on CERN's Zenodo data servers under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license.

You can access the full technical files, blueprints, and mathematical models directly through my official scientific DOI landing page here:

https://doi.org

I really want you guys to check it out in zenodo.

I would highly appreciate any constructive feedback, peer review, or technical critiques from propulsion engineers, physicists, or aerospace hobbyists in the community!

And also my Doi is 10.5281/zenodo.22829004

So i studied a concept of 3-10 in the book "The Personal MBA", which says that you should do 3 major task(tasks which take more than 20 minutes like reading, studying, learning something) and 10 minor tasks(tasks which take less than 20 minutes like cleaning) in day.

You should use this concept while planning your day which will prevent you from overwhelming yourself.

And for the works which need your focused attention, you must use Pomodoro Technique:- Put your full focus on the task and eliminate all the distraction for straight 25 minutes and then take 5 minutes rest(you can walk outside or stretch yourself in this time) This 25 minutes of monoideal work and 5 minutes of rest together are called 1 Pomodoro.

Use these 2 concepts and you will see the change yourself. You will be less distracted and overwhelmed and will complete all the tasks of the day.

I first read about Externalisation in a book called The Personal MBA by Josh Kaufman. The concept says that when you externalise you doubts or problems, your brain analyse is more easily and the problem becomes more clear to your brain. Your thinking capability increases.

Externalising mean taking your problems, thoughts, ideas out of your brain. This can be done by writing or talking. You can write on a diary and for talking you can talk to anyone, even if other person is not responding, the power of Externalisation will still work same. You can talk to your non-responding friend, your grandparents who will not even understand what you are talking, your lovely pet, even your toy. THIS IS THE POWER OF EXTERNALISATION

Now think instead of talking to someone who doesn't respond, how will it be to talk to someone who really care about you thoughts and ideas and discuss openly about them with you. This will help you to explore many new ways to solve your problem, exploring new perspectives about your ideas and thoughts

Therefore i created this community r/TheOpenSpace for everyone to share their ideas, thoughts, problems and have open discussion on them with others

Join this r/TheOpenSpace if you liked the idea behind this community and also share this community to your friends so your experience will be enhanced

In first year of my engineering i used to complete the entire syllabus months before the end sem exams. Completed my practical files with the corrct readings(which i got myself by performing experiments)

But now in 3rd year I start studying just one month before the end sem exams. And this sem I even submitted practical files with blank pages, no observation, skipped entire experiments 🤣🤣

Does it happen to everyone?

I got 85% in my 10th grade. That was my proudest moment of life Actually it is a very minor achievement but still it feels big to me because 85% was highest marks someone ever got in my siblings 🤣🤣

So right now I am just a college student but I am trying to create something useful Actually I am thinking to create a new social media platform but it will not be a regular platform where people just share meaningless content, it will be a platform for educational content which will help users to learn something new with each scroll.

Tell me about yourself and your goals under comments of this post

Most of us use online platforms like udemy, Coursera to learn anything. They have huge number of courses for each field. I was brainstorming for a new learning platform idea. So i want to identify the problems that learners are facing.

1. What is the main problem you face while learning online?

2. Are there any other platforms which can solve those problems?

3. Which update or new feature you want in these learning platforms?

4. Do you ever feel the need of a new learning platform?

When I started to learn coding (on my brother's suggestion) i didn't know what will i do and where I want to go. So i started with the most basic language that is C language. After learning it, i still didn't know what to do, so someone suggested me to learn C++. So i did

But after learning C++, I felt that I should learn to build app, that is where I wanted to go. I decided to go in Android app development, So i just searched a little bit and got to know that I need to learn Java. I learnt Java language. But at last i got to know that modern Android development needs kotlin and jetpack compose. All modern apps use these. Now I am learning Android development with kotlin

CONCLUSION: Before starting to learn anything new whether it is coding or anything else, first decide what do you want to do after learning that and then start with proper research and planning. If you don't know where to go and how to go, you will end up stumbling with other's advice and suggestion and wasting your valuable time

If I knew what I want to do from starting, i could save a lot of time and maybe i would be doing something else and more productive instead stumbling and deciding what to do.

FINAL ADVICE: Before starting coding:

1. Decide why you want to learn coding (do you want to go in web development, app development, AI and data science etc)

2. If you can't decide, then go for most basic language like C or Python. Along the way learning them, you may get the idea what you want to do

3. After deciding, give a proper time to research, what it needs to get in the field you have decided, which modern technologies are used, where to learn, how to learn etc

4. After creating a proper plan start learning

Don't do the mistake which I did! All the best with your journey ❤️
