Another aspect of learning is that repetition strengthens a learning (knowledge, belief, skill). Enough repetition and 'fast thinking' develops. However it is important to also learn to evaluate the data,
information, perspectives 'slow thinking' or 'system II thinking'. This slow thinking does utilise a lot more cognitive energy, recognised as our will power. Noticed how at the end, or even before, a busy thinking, decision making day, it is sooo much easier to be tempted to eat that chocolate bar... This 'giving into temptation' is because we have used our current supply of cognitive energy. It is time for a little R&R.

When we take into account that our subconscious mind makes decisions 'before' we are aware of the decision (fast thinking and German scientist Dr.John-Dylan Haynes work demonstrating our mind has made a decision before we are aware of it) it becomes clear why our true freedom is in our slow thinking intentional habit building practices, what we condition our mind/fast thinking to be. Thus it is very important to use our slow thinking and intentional practice to create and where necessary for our goals, to go through the discomfort of recreating, the actions we want to take.
Like literacy, numeracy is a skill that to be integrated across all study units... in order for it to be effectively used in 'real world' situations. Thus the issue is how to do this so that it is fully integrated as literacy is (reading, writing, ICT)
