📚 3 Good Articles for You
Comparison anxiety: how to stop comparing yourself to others by Dr. Hannah Rose (7min) Social comparison begins in childhood. In adulthood, social comparison is perfectly normal as well. However, systematically comparing ourselves to others can make us feel less capable. To avoid comparison anxiety, it’s helpful to be aware of how assessing our success based on a subjective view of how we compare to others may lead to unnecessary stress and poor mental health. 🔗 Glasp Community Highlights
Stop Forgetting What You Learn Using Learning Science by James Mallett (11min) Learning how to learn is a fundamental skill we should be taught from a young age. With a basic understanding of the principles, incorporating some of these strategies into your learning practices can have results that are quite remarkable. The framework can easily be adapted and implemented to fit your desired outcome, and can even be applied outside of the classroom and exam hall. 🔗 Glasp Community Highlights

Taking notes while reading can supercharge all of these things if you do it right. However, when we’re taught how to read read, we’re not allowed to write in books. So we never really learn a system for taking notes that we can use as adults. 🔗 Glasp Community Highlights
