Think of something you’re learning right now- A school subject, a creative project, a recipe for dinner, etc…
Now tell me, can you accurately replicate the same task/bit of knowledge 10 days later?
If not, you do not have a deep, long-term understanding of it. Better yet, you probably forgot over 40% of the material within the same period.Â
Our brains are scientifically proven to flush out unnecessary bits of knowledge and experiences. We don’t remember what we had for lunch on our 35th day of 2nd grade- it’s irrelevant information to our brains!
By practicing or repeating a task over a long period of time, we condition our brains to retain that bit of knowledge. Think of it like a muscle when working out (your brain is a muscle after all).Â
Lets compare a body builder with a decade of experience to a 1 year jock. If 200lbs is their max bench press weight, who will be stronger after 3 months of 0 working out? The body builder!
Just like the body builder, we must continue to exercise our long-term skills & knowledge. This way, we are able to build an unshakable foundation that can never be forgotten nor altered.
