Everything in moderation definitely holds true in most instances. But it's also true that when it comes to learning, everyone learns better in different ways. Some people are visual learners who learn a lot from training videos. Some are experiential learners who learn by trial and error while player. Some are more cognitive, and learn from forum posts and articles. Figure out what works best for you, because it may be that you're spending big chunks of time on a learning format that's actually really inefficient for the way your individual brain works.

Tony Robbins teaches that the best way to understand a new thing is through associating it and comparing it with something you already understand. So if you want to learn new things in poker, try to find ways in which they link with other ideas you already know about. Find one poker concept and connect it to another. Identify whether you learn best in a visual format, a written format, or by talking with friends, or some other way, and explore what you already know in greater detail, to see where it might lead you.

Make your learning more effective, make connections with things you already know, and the information will settle quicker, helping you to avoid 'information overload'. The reason 'information overload' happens is because your brain has all this new info and nothing to tack it onto the end of. It just has a big pile of info and nowhere to put it. When you give it something to associate with, it knows which boxes to put each bit of info in, and that leaves room for more.

See? I just taught you this concept using the metaphor of sorting things in boxes, which you already knew about. That's how learning happens. 🙂
