(CLASS) - Learning How to Learn
This is Barbara Oakley’s class I learned most of this episode’s content from. It’s absolutely excellent, and she is a goofy, lovable teacher.
(BOOK) - Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life
This workbook helps you utilize methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to observe, reflect upon, and change your narrative about yourself. I found ACT more helpful than traditional Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and even Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
(APP) - Anki
We talked about spaced repetition during class and this app is great for starting your own set of flashcards. I highly recommend making your own! This is the best way to study and recall concepts you’ll need to know for your A+, Network+, and Security+ certifications.
