I don't study. At least, not in the traditional sense. This does not mean I know everything already. To the contrary, I'm in the camp that feels, relatively speaking, that I know nothing.
The reason I don't have to study is because I listen with the intent to understand. During a lecture, my attention is devoted to the speaker. I soak up their words and simultaneously extrapolate and analyze the heart of what they're communicating, how it relates to other theories, and how that applies to various aspects of life. The same applies when I read. By being present and making the mental effort to break down and understand people, places, concepts, and problems as they're presented to me I digest and retain that information - it becomes permanently imprinted within me.
If I have to study it means I've done a poor job paying attention in the first place.
