Andy Sterkowitz is a self-taught programmer. This is a video from his YouTube channel which outlines five strategies that he employs to help retain information and not burn out.

• 2:01 #1: Active vs Passive Learning Ratio (2h reading; 1h coding)
• 4:17 #2: Use “Spacing” (DON’T CRAM)
• 5:57 #3: Teaching Concepts (write about what you learned, explain how it works)
• 7:09 #4: Keep Track of Questions (you have when learning)
• 8:59 #5: Rest and Recover

I do #3! That’s part of the purpose of this blog! ;)
