  • In this post, I write about how my piecemeal research into building my own practice and schedules, from ECTS to a sort of RPG system, has come to an end with the simple acceptance that the best formal solution already exists.

    These are the books I will use as the basis for my self-regulated reconstruction of my graphic design studies from now on:

    1. Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise
    2. Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning
    3. The Cambridge Handbook of Expertise and Expert Performance

    My reasons are simple. I have gradually chipped away at the problems inherent in my currently poor study system, which is entirely my own doing, because I abandoned an earlier system in favour of the bad but conventionally accepted one. Slowly, I have found my way back on track and discovered, as this illustration puts it, the “right system”, after losing both it and myself between 2017 and 2023.

    I believed that passing grades were all that mattered. This left me stranded with half-remembered and poorly understood knowledge born of rote repetition.

    This is how I intend to address my own shortcomings in all things graphic design: by using the right system, along with a great many books and other reading materials.

    Libraries are an amazing resource here in Germany. Through interlibrary loans, you can even borrow books held by other libraries, usually for a small fee. If you are fortunate enough to live in a country with a solid library system, use it. Otherwise, the privilege goes to waste, and eventually, through disuse, it disappears.

    I say this as someone who once believed that I could learn anything online. That is not so: tutorials are not learning. Tutorials are designed to guarantee a successful result in the easiest way possible.

    And judging by the books above, ease is the enemy of expertise when it comes to learning and understanding.

    This is Rio, sending a message from here to anyone out there who feels that they should know and understand more, but doesn’t.

  • Put together a playlist about learning how to learn.

    Learn Better: Remember More and Build Real Skill

    It is meant to be watched once, and then be done with it.

    Instructions are in the description of the playlist, and I have used ChatGPT to finalize the text, although this has been done due to the weird normalization YouTube does to the text.

    Eh, have fun and don’t forget to download the videos–you know– just in case.

    Here is the description:

    【 LEARN BETTER 】 Most studying creates familiarity, not durable knowledge or usable skill. This playlist introduces practical, research-based methods for remembering what you learn, practising effectively and taking notes that lead somewhere.

    【 WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 】 The videos cover retrieval practice, spaced learning, deliberate practice, mental representations and note-taking as a tool for thinking. They are intended for students, amateurs and independent learners who want to become genuinely capable in a chosen field—not merely better organised.

    【 HOW TO USE IT 】 Watch the videos in order, preferably one per week. Before each video, write down the problem you want it to help you solve. Afterwards, summarise the main idea from memory, create no more than three questions for later recall and apply one lesson to your actual work before continuing.

    【 REMEMBER 】 Recall before rereading • Practise weaknesses • Space learning across time • Seek feedback • Use notes to develop ideas • Produce work that can be judged. Flashcards can support learning, but they cannot replace solving problems, making things and practising the skill itself.

    【 BEGIN 】 Start with the first video. When you finish the playlist, stop studying how to learn for a while—and use what you learned.

    Book suggestions which work as an alternative as well:

    Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown, Henry L. Roediger III, and Mark A. McDaniel

  • Going pro all of a sudden, looking at my library as not just a means to further study, but as my stepping stones to becoming what is called an expert of a domain.

    I am not going to bore you with details (especially because that would just reek of insecurity, and I don’t want to mislead you), so I am just going to say that this all works surprisingly well.

    10,000 hours, here I come!
