Today I did not have any university obligations so I spent my morning finishing off the phoenix project. It demonstrates what makes a software company thrive and the behaviours to stride to implement in your daily life demonstrating the concept of finding and eliminating bottlenecks within I.T and daily life. I have found some lessons in this book that moving forward I will make sure to implement in my future team projects and development. This book took about 9 hours to read I decided to use the rest of my day to research ways to increase not only my reading speed but my retention. during this, I stumbled upon a Udemy course called super learner 2. This claimed to contain the information and teaching to largely increase your retention of knowledge and the pace at which you can read. I looked at the reviews and almost all were very positive with a 4.3 / 5 star average over 17 thousand reviews, with this knowledge I took the plunge and purchased the course, I am currently on video 4 of the course and its very clear the course does not just teach how to achieve this skill but makes sure to build the understanding of how and why our memory performs in certain ways. After this, I am incredibly excited to see more of it.
