I had a question these days about which methods are more efficient besides daily practice. I'm sharing with you my opinion on some methods I have for better retention of new content.
The ones that help me the most:
Practice in the lab - Testing different scenarios and different types of use cases helps me understand how this can have an impact, automatically creating several memories from different perspectives. It's important that you don't just stick to the specific lab test, explore other techniques, research if you have questions, think about how this can contribute to your daily life and try to apply it in a controlled environment if possible.
Create notes - Without a doubt, we won't remember all the commands, and this has never been necessary. Creating notes "by hand" without copying and pasting, in a way, forces us to remember what we wrote and consequently remember some things. The need for this organization guides us in a certain way, because, even though we have learned many things, it is the notes that will contain all the content we have learned, or that we find important to start reviewing.
Creating mental maps - They are like continents that connect to countries, which connect to cities, everything is related and visible. Imagine leaving the command line and going to a web console like OpenShift, wouldn't it be easier to learn?! Many times, our eyes retain more visual information of shapes and colors instead of just a terminal full of commands, so it is important to be aware of these perspectives and use them to have a better vision and consequently a better understanding.
I would like to hear your opinions, hugs!
