Quality sleep is very important in order to remember more (sleep mask/ear plugs/cold room etc). Repetition is key if you want to remember something for the long term, but this should not have to be forced in the long term. In the short term, repetition and writing are the most important ways to learn something. If you want general advice on how to be a good student/scholar, read Cal Newport: 'Deep Work'.

-More gratefulness, this is a huge thing. In the beginning I started giving money to beggars and giving huge tips after meditating. -Less judgmental of others and myself, this also ties in with more self confidence. -More relaxed about personal development, more long term thinking, less crazy work binges. -More awareness of my emotional state. For example I catch myself feeling weird in social situations and try tocorrect this.

My current budget does not allow me to buy all the books that I wan't to read, so then ebooks are a great solution. If I really like the ebook, then I will buy a paper copy and reread a couple of times. I think I have read about 100 ebooks in the last two years and bought like 15 paper books.
