Barbara Oakley talks about this in her talk at Google, "Learning How to Learn".

She says Edison did the same thing too, but had a handful of ball bearings instead of a key.

She also has a coursera course (that I'm going through right now) - https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

To be honest it puts the video above into practice requiring some level of accountability. I would recommend it for anyone who is procrastination prone. There are some really solid techniques (that are based on most recent science) that has already had some impact on my life.

Do it!

Indeed, this course was great. It's pretty much a summary of the state of the art of learning science.
