As [[id:0e2c9eaf-f12a-47b2-9c9c-d1a590db131b][Involuntary attention switch is good for preventing tunnel vision]], it lets you make connections between them and even form new perspectives or sudden realizations when learning a topic. Despite the perceived quality of public education, this is how students went through to choose their career. You can choose to switch between topics of different scope either from specific concept to a wildly different topic altogether. Some examples... - Studying different entire fields of knowledge. Set a study session for illustration, programming, and mathematics. - Switching between different topics. For example, you can study the basics of music theory and learning to play a guitar. - Solving different types of problems in one session. Instead of studying one type of problem at a time, you study three. Switching between context doesn't necessarily mean equally dividing the time. You still need to prioritize the topic you have difficulties with. However, you need to watch out for [[id:9138397a-a965-45e9-97ea-71849e8d4f94][Overlearning]].
