We retain information the following way:
1. 10% of what we read.
2. 20% of what we hear.
3. 30% of what we see.
4. 50% of what we see and hear.
5. 70% of what we say as we talk.
6. 90% of what we say as we do a thing.
How would the above apply to you? I do a lot of reading. I should be reading out loud. How about you?
Looking at the 90%, we should all be talking as we are doing a task that we want to retain information on. This applies to all aspects of our lives!
I am attempting to upgrade my computer skills. What I plan on doing is to talk to myself as I am learning a new program. If you are teaching someone, have them verbally repeat what they are doing.
I hope you are enjoying these short tidbits of information that we all need to internalize.

Hello Jacques,
Wow! That is a lot of information that we should all retain. Thank you for the good information. It sounds like it is a good thing to talk to yourself as you learn. It sticks better in the head.
