We KNOW that we can't effectively learn for large blocks of time - smaller blocks of daily learning, are much more effective.
We KNOW that sleep is a key part of retaining and integrating new skills and information. Throwing a lot of learning at someone during the day means they can't process it all during their sleep, so the sleep will maybe benefit one topic, but not all. And no way to chose the most important topic to process. Plus, when you're this tired, you're clearly not getting enough sleep, which means less learning processing.
Where's the time to actually, y'know, live your life? Even if you memorize more facts, what other actually-necessary skills are you missing out on? Especially social skills?
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
Poor Abs!
ReplyDeleteI actually agree. She gets up for school at 5:45 and does homework all evening.
ReplyDelete5:45!? Ouch.
ReplyDeleteIt's insane.

It worries me.
