The 5 tips I chose was based on how I’m able to personal learn to the best of my ability.

And for a long time I was only using my hearing to do things I wanted to do on my own, so with this strategy it is almost like clockwork I was always using my ears to follow or just hear a lesson someone was trying to teach so this was a good idea for me to use.
