5. Apply What You Learn

The best way to retain knowledge is to use it. When you self-learn something, try to find a real world application to use the knowledge you gained.

Project-oriented learning where you will try building or creating something as you learn is a good way to gain experience through self-learning

6. Collaborate With Other Learners

Some benefits of Collaborate with learners are:

-Access more resources you may have not known.

-Clarifying concepts and discussions on subject topics will stimulate more interest and let you see different views of the same problem.

-This will actually serve as a classroom environment where different people come together to learn, discuss, and share ideas among one another.

7. Share Your Knowledge

The final step would be to give back to the community. The more you teach, the easier it is for you to keep learning.

Albert Einstein said it well:

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.”

There is a common belief that knowledge is one thing that increases on sharing with others
