So...how do I learn to learn?
Let's start with how not to learn because that's easier:
- No drugs and alcohol. They'll just wipe out your memories and capacity to learn
- No distractions. Focus!
- Avoid people better than you
- Avoid books (Hmm...what type of books?)
- Don't reflect on what went wrong in the past
- Be overconfident
- Never approach your limit (your muscles must learn to lift that weight!)
- Don't seek criticism, stay silent.
- Don't identify root causes
Okay...forgive the scatteredness of this tweet-whatever. I didn't prewrite it.
1. Avoid drugs and alcohol
2. When you're trying to learn something avoid distractions i.e. music with words
3. You cannot just play, you have to practice.
6. Find books on the subject!
12. Experiment. Try innovative and novel methods. Most will fail, but occasionally you'll hit upon some gold and that will really accelerate your learning.
