Description

I've started taking a free course which so far has been packed with a lot of good advice, while also doing a good job of framing several of the behaviors we associate with good work-life balance:

- Spending time away from the problem
- Forming good sleep habits
- Spaced repetition
- Pomodoro Technique 🍅

That's just the first week, the second and third will focus on "chunking" and procrastination.

#### Course Link: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

They've scoped the intended audience very broadly, and the neuroscience is mostly told through metaphor (although the lecturers have some [impressive] [achievements] in their field).

Research direction

The issue shares a Coursera course about learning techniques, but it does not identify a file, section, or requested change. First review the repository's existing learning-resource structure and decide whether this course belongs there. Done means the resource is added in the appropriate format with its intended audience and course link clearly represented.
