How to Learn Anything FASTER

• The 5 Minute Rule: if you have problems with starting something, convince yourself you are only going to do it for five minutes, then perhaps you can keep going
• Take your Phone Away

We learn best when we are in the environment where we actually are going to use the skill

Afterwards, use drills to try to improve them. Don’t do the things you know you already manage.

We don’t learn by trying to put stuff in our brains, we learn by taking out stuff from our brains

• At the start of a learning journey, it’s better to receive encouragement rather than constructive feedback
• Afterwards, avoid the praise and instead focus on the critical and constructive feedback

Continuously ask yourself the why behind what you are learning

Whenever we learn anything, due to the forgetting curve, our memory is going to decay over time.

If we repeat the thing at spaced intervals, eventually, it will go to our long term memory.

We don’t learn best from experts, we learn best from people who are one step in front of us in the same journey.

Embrace the learning opportunity and document it, to teach it to someone else someday in the future
