Learn, How to Learn

What : Be more productive & retain more by studying in short, focused intervals with breaks in between.

Why : Your brain can only focus well for short periods. Regular breaks refresh and prevent burnout.

How :

1. Pick your study task or topic.
2. Set a timer for 25 minutes. This is one "Pomodoro."
3. Study intensely until the timer goes off.

Take a 5-min break. Play a fav song, take a walk, etc. 5. Repeat. After 4 Pomodoros, break for 15-30 mins.

What : You know a topic well if you can teach it in simple terms, like to a kid.

How :

1. Choose a topic.
2. Pretend to teach it.
3. Notice stumbles or gaps.
4. Go back & learn more.
5. Try to explain it again.

Mix different topics in a study session for better recall & problem-solving.

What : It only takes about 20 hours of focused practice to gain a decent skill level in something new.

Why : The 1st hours of learning are the toughest. When you push thru the hard part, you start enjoying the skill.

How :

1. Pick a skill to learn: a language, instrument, coding, etc.
2. Break it down into smaller, manageable parts.
3. Dedicate 20 hours total to deliberate practice sessions (15 min/day = 80 days, 60 min/day = 20 days, etc.).

Tip : Stay consistent & committed. It gets easier as you go

What : Focused learning to master skills faster.

Why : You constantly push your limits and keep refining.

How :

1. Choose a skill you want to learn or improve.
2. Find your weak spots and areas to refine.
3. Pick 1 to work on in a session. Set a specific goal.
4. Get feedback: a coach, friend, or film/watch yourself.

Repeat. Push yourself to improve in each session.
