Be fit.

Be rich.

Be the hero of your own story.

You just need to learn how to learn.

| Thread | — 4 tools to learn fast.

1/

Focus.

Quick learning requires deep concentration

Reduce distractions.

Set time for learning and breaks.

Separate consumption and creation.

You can’t do both at the same time.

A focused laser is stronger than dispersed lights.

Start. Set. Sustain.

2/

Feedback loop.

Get constructive criticism.

Seek feedback — positive and negative.

Great feedback is:
• Specific
• Balanced
• Immediate

The faster you know what’s right and wrong,

The quicker you learn.

3/

Consistency.

Learning is a number’s game.

The longer you perform a skill,

The more intricacies of the skill you’ll master.

Mastery begins with a willingness to look foolish.

Beginner first,

Expert next.

4/

Deliberate practice.

Go beyond consistency.

Be mindful when practicing a skill.

Understand and tweak the tiniest details to perfection.

Constant calibration for quick skill acquisition.

There’s always room for improvement.

Absorb the useful,

Reject the useless.
