Becoming lifelong learners
To become lifelong learners, we may find it hard to break away from the traditional education paradigm. One way to unshackle our self-education is to grab hold of the opportunities for unbounded learning.
- Bounded learning is based on a fixed curriculum and contains specific educational outcomes.
- Unbounded learning embraces ongoing personal growth that is fuelled by continuous education. It is based on strategies and tools that foster curiosity.

The benefits of unbounded learning
- Unbounded learning cuts out the "middleman" of traditional knowledge providers. It instead encourages students to directly access the best content from various institutions or independent teachers relevant to their goals.
- Serendipity. By allowing your education to branch off in any direction, you may discover new areas of interest that you could not have predicted.
- You will not be restricted to specific sources or formats but can explore concepts from various angles (podcasts, books from an expert, YouTube etc.).

How to unbound your education
- Study the source material of any interesting article or book you read.
- Mix and match the content to fit your needs. Don't stick to just one course or book. Try different platforms, formats, and educators.
- Use thinking tools for unbounded learning. Some note-taking tools are not designed only for linear thinking but support new patterns of thought.
- Learn with others, whether with a study buddy or a Twitter account, document your learning journey and ask questions.
- Practice self-reflection. Metacognition is essential and can take the form of journaling.
