The document discusses strategies for learning rather than just memorizing. It recommends avoiding procrastination by using implementation intentions to link cues with actions. Learning complex topics is also best approached by "chunking" or breaking them into smaller pieces to learn incrementally. The most effective way to learn is through "deliberate practice" which involves focusing practice on the hardest parts. Tai Chi is presented as a good model for this approach since movements are learned one by one or in small groups. With consistent practice of challenging aspects, true learning and mastery can be achieved at any stage of life.

1. Not just Memorizing but Learning
 “Learning is too important to be left behind in the
classroom”(Terry Sejnovsky- video how to become a better learner).
 Many things happen in our life that make us realize
that we need to learn and what we want to learn
and learning to learn perhaps forever .
 Nowadays avoid procrastrinating, build chunks
and deliberate practice are tools that may help us to
LEARN and not to memorize only .
