The Daily Brain Information Capacity



When it comes to achieving a learning goal, it is extremely important to make room in our brain for new information to enter and stick in our brain. We need to be conscious about how much information our brain process every day. Our brain is capable of processing certain amount of information effectively every day. When We exceed that limit, our efforts in learning more information will be pointless.

This is why it is essential to minimize our exposure to distractions and especially social media. We start our day with empty and pure brain. When we use social media, part of our brain will be filled. When we play video games, the same will happened. Listening to the radio, music or a podcast will also do the same. Driving for a very long distance is also the same. In the end of the day we will completely full. 

This is why it is important to be conscious of how much information we process every day even if we are not a students or we are learning something. Because when we process too much information and make so many decisions we will start making poor decisions and mistakes.  

Moreover, this mean that it is important to give up on our goals for the time being and focus only on one goal until we achieve it. This might be extremely difficult because most people have multiple important goals and evaluating them is very hard. 


At this point, you need to ask yourself, what is the most important goal that I need to achieve right now and what kind of goals that can be postpone to the future? This will open your mind to start thinking about the consequences of postponing each goal and picking up the most important one for the time being.
