Your brain learns through all of your senses; sight (vision), tactile (somatosensation), hearing (audition), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation), temperature (thermoception), kinesthetic sense (proprioception), pain (nociception), balance (equilibrioception), vibration (mechanoreception), and various internal stimuli (e.g. the different chemoreceptors for detecting salt and carbon dioxide). These senses are what feed your brain and teach everything that it knows. So if you want to learn something quickly, whether it be the strategies in this book or preparing for a chemistry exam, the best way is trying to use as many of your senses as possible.
When I was in college, I had up to sixteen classes a semester, so I had to learn information really quickly and thoroughly. I would sit in a room, 1. Look at my notes (sight), 2. Read them out loud as I read them (hearing and kinesthetic) because my vocal cords were vibrating producing the sounds, 3. Stand and pace (kinesthetic sense, balance, vibration), 4. As I was saying everything out loud, I would write everything on the chalkboard in the empty classrooms that I used to find for studying (sight, tactile, auditory and kinesthetic sense).
I later learned through my practice and training in sensory integration and neurology, that these simple exercises were the reason I was able to take so many classes at once and retain the information because I took a multisensory approach to learning. If your goal is to become successful and you're training yourself for success, then a vision board should be part of your repertoire of hacks to get you to the next level.
