Robson’s simple 3 step study guide is for all students who don’t like to study but want to achieve higher grades. I developed this process for myself because my memory isn’t always the best and because I have a very active imagination which tends to make my thoughts wander. This study guide was created taking into consideration, Edgar Dale’s ‘We Remember’ statistics. WE REMEMBER 10% of what we read 20% of what we hear 30% of what we see 50% of what we see and hear 70% of what we discuss with others 80% of what we personally experience 95% or what we teach others – Edgar Dale Step #1 – Rough Notes PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION IN CLASS and write down rough but legible notes during class (using a pen and paper – important!). The key here is to focus your full and undivided attention without distractions to what is being taught and to fully comprehend what is being taught. If you don’t understand or comprehend the subject matter, ask questions until you do understand. It is much easier to remember concepts and facts that you fully understand. LOOK + LISTEN + FOCUS in class. (very important!) Take rough but legible notes. Step #2 – Recap at Night, (*same day – important!) in a separate new dedicated notebook, re-write your short form rough notes including more details and do more research on the topic if needed for increased clarity. TIP: *Highlight and underline important and factual information that you think you might be tested on, on the final exam! 😉 Here is a real life example of my neat(er) notes I created in my barracks room at military college at night after mess hall dinner for a class on the building blocks of digital computer theory. Step #3 – Tiny Study Notes, During the week before the exam, on one single page of white paper, review your neat notes page by page, and in a condensed – very fine print, fit all of the most important and factual information all on only one page. Finally, simply review your one-page prep notes the night before bed (important! because during your REM sleep phase, you will create fresh neural networks in your brain), then again during breakfast the day of your final exam and if you have time, right before the final exam and SHA-ZAM – you will have retained a much higher percentage information and in turn, achieve your goal of higher grades! This is how I was able to successfully complete my technical training in the Military to ultimately become an IE (Instrumental Electrician) Tech Level 5 . To view my diplomas, visit my about page. Final Words – Live by The Golden Rule – If you understand the topic of study, help others in your class who are struggling and in turn, you will benefit and “remember 95% of what we teach others” – Edgar Dale. I hope you benefit from this information. For more esoteric, educational and entertaining content visit www.robsongrant.com

Humanity is at a crossroads. A choice between endless war, war in space, growing poverty and environmental destruction or a future where we explore the stars, live in peace with each other and our planetary neighbors. The Venus Project proposes an alternative vision of what the future can be if we apply what we already know in order to achieve a sustainable new world civilization. It calls for a straightforward redesign of our culture in which the age-old inadequacies of war, poverty, hunger, debt and unnecessary human suffering are viewed not only as avoidable but as totally unacceptable. Anything less will result in a continuation of the same catalog of problems inherent in today's world. The Venus Project is a non-profit organization that recognizes the important connection between global resource mismanagement and problems such as war, climate change, poverty, and hunger. In the broader context, these are all detrimental results of the current socio-economic operating system. In response to these challenges, our organization presents solutions through the holistic application of science and technology; two areas in which recent advancements hold the potential to make far-reaching positive impacts. However, while technology may succeed in gradually alleviating some of these problems, they cannot be resolved by simply addressing symptoms, as we do now, because they are byproducts of a much larger problem. Another major issue is that business interests currently require short-term planning and timely returns on investments. For these reasons, in addition to our expanded technical approach, our proposals include an alternative economic model which overcomes these artificial barriers to planetary wellbeing. Our methodologies are designed to realize the full potential of science and technology to achieve social betterment for all living systems. We advocate new ways of thinking and living to enable human beings, technology, and nature to progress sustainably.

Although I recorded this in 2019, this ad blocker hack still works. Please note: I no longer use some of the Google Chrome extensions listed in this tutorial. The invention of browser ad blockers has meant the death of Google Ad Sense and other revenue generating ads for bloggers and web developers but there is a simple solution. You can stealth browser ad blockers using a self hosted Wordpress content management system. Wordpress powers about 30% of websites on the internet. By simply organically hosting your images and affiliate links, renders your ads invisible to ad blockers by making them look like a natural part of your blog.
