The Learning Styles of an Agile Mind • 17

“No pain, no gain, no brain!”

One of the goals of the exercises in this book is to promote
your development of all three modalities so that whatever sit-
uation arises, you will be able to maximize your acquisition
and retention of information. In later chapters, you will have
an opportunity to practice each of the three learning styles
and increase your ease of use. In the meantime, fill in the fol-
lowing table with specific methods you can use to remember
everyday examples of learning. Sometimes you need others
to learn and remember something pertinent to your life, so
we have included a few of those situations. Write as much as
you can about how you will use these styles. We did the first
one for you as an illustration. (Take a peek at that now.) You
can use a combination of methods if you want, such as writ-
ing the item on a sticky note (kinesthetic) and sticking it
where you will see it after work (visual reminder).
