Step 30: Train Your Senses
Learning is possible through the senses. You can differentiate up to 4,000 scents
with your sense of smell. You get 80% of all your knowledge with your sense of
sight. You can taste up to 10,000 different flavors with your sense of taste. You
reinforce visual learning with your sense of hearing. You learn how to use your
body properly with your sense of touch. Just when you think you can no longer
maximize learning through them, you discover that they can still be better.
Training the senses by isolation is the best way to do it because you heighten
their sensitivity. Try to read only with a study lamp to avoid distractions. Listen
to podcasts or music in total darkness. Taste different flavors with your eyes
blindfolded. Touch different textures with your eyes closed. Smell different
scents without looking at them directly. You will be amazed how sensitive your
scents will be. There is also a study that says listening to classical music
improves memory retention.
