## Gear Up Getting Better at Difficult Things
The Gear Up session on getting better at difficult things introduced me to another new concept - cognitive load. I found it
very fascinating about how increased cognitive load can impact your ability to handle stress and learning new things. I also
really liked the idea that Kathy Sierra presented about the three things that take up cognitive resources- the things we can’t
do but need to learn, things we can do, but with effort, and then the things we have “mastered” and don’t need to think about
much. Her ideas on how to reduce cognitive resources and move things from a to c, really helped me think of the things we have
been learning in new ways and how I can approach new learnings.
