Learn Better - Basics of skill acquisition

When you practice, do just that. (multitasking is a long-gone busted myth, we just skip from task to task) Do not talk to people, do not use your phone, don’t do anything else aside from that which you just set out to do.

The key is to choose something which is just outside of your current scope, but it Doesn’t make it so hard that you resign, and not too easy that you get bored. Pick up a new skill which may seem nonrelated to Your Goal. There's always a space to borrow and learn.

" You can't improve , what You can't measure ."

Record yourself whilst practising , rewatch right after the session or (and) before going to sleep. Your brain is good at Picking up the faulty patterns and reigniting the neural connections which you try to develop.

Having a trainer or any kind of supervision can immensely improve your progress. ( If you consider the price of having a professional trainer in something that is crucial in your life , You're just not there yet)

4. Change the environment

Other than changing the environment, You should be changing your routines.

Swap the exercises , Start from the middle or the end. Add a variety of circumstances,

e.g sit in front of the other wall , look into the other direction , wear different clothes etc.

As cliche as it sounds , it's the truth .

Progress is not linear .

If You like the activity, continue.

Personally I don’t use a Pomodoro technique per se. I vary the block times quite a lot. I've noticed that if I swap tasks in blocks of 10-25-60 minutes I learn exponentially more effective. A typical cycle may look like that :

- ( Main Goal ) learning to play the new song on a Piano (60min) (first thing in the morning)

- (side goals ) Japanese (20 min)

This is the sentence that got stuck with me recently.

IT is the " learning culture "... whilst talking to one of my clients this phrase hit a note.

Surround Yourself with like-minded people terms of learning and self-developing. This can exponentially boost your willingness to learn, understand why you do it, whilst knowing that there is a lot of people just like you, willing to learn and improve. Diversity of those people is another thign to focus on .
