XMATCH which has a similar signature to XLOOKUP but returns the index of the matching item. XMATCH is both easier to use and more capable than its predecessor MATCH. XMATCH(lookup_value,lookup_array,[match_mode],[search_mode])
XMATCH is another upcoming Excel function
While VLOOKUP was widely used, it has several well-known limitations which XLOOKUP overcomes:
XLOOKUP overcomes 6 VLOOKUP's issues:
XLOOKUP(lookup_value,lookup_array,return_array) lookup_value: What you are looking for lookup_array: Where to find it return_array: What to return
XLOOKUP will replace VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP excel functions used since 1985
you don’t have to learn alone. In fact, it is the uniqueness of the people with which you learn and the discussions you have together that make what you learn unforgettable
Team work applies also into learning
being able to communicate what you’ve learned is one of the main skills that differentiates a good developer from a great one (IMHO).

When facing procrastination, think of process over product. I often procrastinate when I’m overwhelmed by the thought, “Ok, I have to get X done”.

Recall = mini-testing
taking a couple minutes to summarize or recall material you are trying to learn

Recently, I found this great application called Highly (you should use this!). They make it really simple to highlight any article that I’m reading on the web using a Chrome extension.
This inspired me to make a research of similar applications (such as Liner), and finally end up with hypothes.is
Highlighting or underlining are also techniques that often lead to this illusion of learning. On the other hand, brief notes that summarize keys concepts are much more effective.
Indeed… Therefore, let's leave a note here :)
First, survey and priming — this involves scanning a book or the syllabus of a course, for example, to get a general idea of the bigger picture. Second, observe an example. Then, do it yourself. And, finally, do it again and again in different contexts.
Chunk the knowledge
take breaks, meditate, think about other things, and give yourself plenty of time in both modes.
Give yourself some free time while learning
