The Role of Saturation in Learning

Experiencing saturation in learning often indicates an overwhelming influx of information rather than mastery of knowledge. This suggests that individuals may be too scattered in their approach, attempting to learn multiple topics without sufficient focus. To overcome this feeling, it's essential to revisit foundational concepts and spend more time engaging deeply with fewer materials rather than skimming many. By immersing oneself in fewer works over a longer period, learners can better integrate knowledge and gain more profound insights from their studies.
