Don’t Learn Anything Without Having a Project to Apply to
You will forget it like the lunch you had two days ago.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably attended a fair share of workshops, webinars, or online courses, thinking that more knowledge will somehow lead to better results.
I recall, not too long ago, attending this weekend-long workshop on advanced web development course. I was buzzing with excitement and had filled my notebook with pages and pages of notes.
Come Monday, though?
I realized I barely remembered half of what was taught. Heck, I wasn’t even sure how to implement most of it into my daily work. It was all so… theoretical.
And I thought to myself, “Why did I spend an entire weekend absorbing information, only for it to evaporate in a matter of days?”
That’s when I stumbled upon a vital realization — learning without a clear application can be a recipe for forgetfulness.
We live in an era where information is abundant, but the real magic happens when we find ways to apply that knowledge in the real world.
