Plus, Minus, Equal
- Plus: Find mentors, real (maybe someone from your work) or virtual (from books). Learn from someone with more experience than you.
- Minus: Explain what you are learning while you are learning it. Teach someone with less experience than you.
- Equal: Find people who love what you love and spend as much time talking about this shared area as you can.

Failure
When you start learning something, you're usually pretty bad at it. This applies to everything worth learning.
But that's good news. You can’t learn as much from succeeding because it’s harder to pinpoint where mistakes are.

This rule was developed by Anders Ericsson and popularised by Malcolm Gladwell and states that we need 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to succeed at anything.

Energy
Without energy, you can’t learn.
If you don’t sleep enough, you’ll be too tired and you won’t learn. If you’re in a bad relationship, your brain will be distracted and you won’t learn.

Do it
You can’t get better at chess just by reading about it. You have to play. Then you have to play in high stress situations (like a tournament).
