    1. Short-term memories
    2. Long-term memories through repetition
    3. Micro-skill development (building functions in the brain)
  • Breaks help move memories from one level to the next
  • Use communication to reinforce learning
    • Explain and seek confirmation
    • The rubber ducking technique
    • Using emoji to punctuate words with emotion
    • What the ~ at the end of a Tweet or text means

    • The neocortex typically asks questions
    • Self-monitor and ask yourself questions to consciously replace habits
