Peter Honey & Alan Mumford learning styles are adaption of previous theory created by David Kolb. It was created rather for managers and rather for decision making/project solving than educational or learning experience. In the same time their model have four stages which used properly can improve your learning experience. Let’s go over them now:
1. Having an experience – activist’s stage
2. Reviewing the experience – reflector’s stage
3. Concluding from the experience – theorist’s stage
4. Planning the next steps – pragmatist’s stage.
If you are manager & want to learn more about honey & mumford learning styles visit the wiki page.
Anyway i would add one more step or move the last one on the beginning of the list. So first you plan what you want to learn… it is also good to organize the material and plan on how you want to learn it.
After that it’s time for actual learning. There is loads of tips and tricks and information on how to learn fast anything on this website so simply visit a proper category and start reading! Reviewing, reflecting, remembering goes next.
The third stage is concluding from experience – how we should understand or use this one? Let’s say that you’ve been learning about history of war – it’s not about just remembering it “hardly” and forget after 3 days. You need to stop for a second and ask yourself questions that will make you understand subject. What was the reasong of one country attacking another one? which country join war and which not – how this chooses affected the ‘final score’. What would happend if country x would join, what would happend if they would not join at all? As you can see there’s lots of “would’s” but that’s what theorizing is about.
After that you can plan on what to learn next. There’s no finish to learning and no one can limit you. Continuing with history example when you learn one chapter of the book and you’re cool for next lesson or exam it does not mean that you should stop. In a matter of a fact you will remember everything better if you simply go for next chaper, especially if it is connected to previous one. What i mean is that you can ’sacrifice’ one Saturday to learn ahead – the more material you will learn the better you will remember it (more assosciations and memory connections will be created in your brain) and later you will have some free time. As the topic of learning styles is quite huge, there are different theories and also approaches expect that soon there will be much more of it in here 
just think what is your learning style (as your habits and ways you approach absorbing new informations) and reflect on them, ask yourself which small changes you can do in one week to improve it? there is always place for improvement!
