Knowledge Workers Should Imitate Athletes
LeBron worked for his strength, agility, impeccable history of injury avoidance, and an outstanding 54% field goal percentage during his 14th NBA season.
Athletes train. Musicians train. Performers train. But knowledge workers don’t.

WHAT DOES A LEARNING PLAN LOOK LIKE?
Similar to how LeBron structures his training to win NBA championships, knowledge workers should train to build skills, complete projects, and increase their productive power. Armed with an effective system, we’ll learn faster and have more fun doing it.
Even among the most ambitious individuals, learning plans are rare. Most people are reactive. They don’t plan. Like surfers in a violent ocean, they surrender to their environment.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
Start by writing down a positive vision for your future.
Learn in three-month sprints and commit to a new learning project every quarter.
Even the longest projects are simply a collection of short-term tasks. Knowing that you should break down the project into daily increments, and create a series of daily and weekly goals to learn the skills required to complete the project.

Daniel Gross’ framework for learning
Build a video game for yourself. Like a game, productive projects have multiple levels.
Follow the Goldilocks Principle: not too easy, not too hard. The learning project needs to be challenging enough to demand focus, but easy enough to make consistent progress. You can then enter the optimal state of learning.
If you get stuck, “video game” is too hard. When this happens, you should stop. Work on a smaller step or retreat to a manageable challenge
Share your learnings, it's the best way to speed up your feedback loops,which will help you learn faster and improve based on the feedback you receive

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
