3. Cover the same ground from different angles.

    第三步：从不同的角度学习同一个知识点。

    Your brain is struggling to form patterns to cope with new input from your learning activities. Sometimes， no matter how long you focus on one subject， your brain is not going to pick it up. If you are stuck， move on. Then cover the same general information from a different source， a different book， or a podcast， or an online lecture or a video. Try to become a grazing learner， roaming the countryside， rather than a feedlot learner， just standing there in one spot， munching on the same bale of hay. The broader your base， the easier it is to learn. Just as the “rich get richer”， the more you know， the more you can learn.

    在新知识的学习过程中，你的大脑会通过固有模式来接受新的知识点。有的时候，不管花多长时间对着一个科目，你就是记不住它。如果卡在这种时候，就略过它。跟着从其他的信息来源：比如不同的书籍、播客、线上课程或视频来重新学习同一个知识点。试着把自己变成一个“放养”的学习者——在知识的草原上四处周游；而不是“圈养”的学习者——只站在一个点上学习，反复咀嚼一个知识点。看地越广、就能学的轻松。就像是“有钱的更有钱”的道理那样，你知道的越多、就能学的越多。

    4. Anytime is learning time.

    第四步：随时都是学习时间！

    Take full advantage of the Internet， iTunes， and various mobile devices， not to mention good old-fashioned books and magazines. Learn during “dead time”。 Listen in your car， on the train， or while jogging. Have your learning with you while waiting in the doctor's office， or listen while checking out at the supermarket. Anytime is learning time. Remember， you are learning through exposure， not by nailing things down. It is more like moisture accumulation in a cloud， rather than building a brick wall.
