The world's most valuable skill:

Writing effectively.

But colleges charge you 120k and still do a terrible job teaching it.

Instead, here are 9 writing frameworks that cost you nothing and will save you hundreds of hours:
1. Start with building your writing habit by leveraging @JamesClear's Four Laws of Behavior Change.

2. With your writing habit down, study these 10 tips from the world's most legendary marketer: David Ogilvy.

3. Then, immerse yourself in the takeaways from the bible on business writing.

4. Like to learn on the go?

Dive into the creative process of the world's best writers in these 10 episodes of the @timferriss show.

5. Like to read instead?

These 10 books more than cover everything you need to know:

6. Struggling to find time to write?

Discover the life-changing magic of Sacred Hours.

7. Finding yourself constantly distracted?

Stop relying on willpower. Design your environment distraction impossible.

8. Overwhelmed with too many choices?

• What to write?
• When to write
• Where to write?

Leverage the power of creative constraint.

9. Once you've started writing, now you need more ideas to write about.

Use the AAAA framework to never stare at a blank page again.

Now, you could passively read all of these ideas and then stuff your notes somewhere to be forgotten forever.

Or you can learn to write by writing and publishing every day for 30 days with 500+ other writers.

The most powerful writing skill you can develop:

Copywriting.

But when I first started to learn the craft, I was completely overwhelmed.

So here's the 3-step learning process I wish I had (that you can start using today): Image
Looking back, 99% of the things I did were complete wastes of time.

But 3 of them were life-changing.

1. Immersion into 1 copywriter's worldview

2. Reading 3 foundational copywriting books

3. Practicing copywork (to see what writing great copy *feels like*)

Let's dive in:
In the beginning, I had no clue where to start.

So I tried to:

• Read every book
• Take every course
• Study every sales letter
• Research every technique

This was overwhelming and a huge mistake.

Instead, you should pick 1 copywriter and immerse yourself.

Here's how:

The way schools teach us to learn is horribly broken.

Textbooks, worksheets, flashcards—all of them a waste of time in the real world.

Instead, I use this simple 3-part framework to rapidly learn anything: Image
The key to learning anything:

Seeing it as a game.

And this framework helped me become a:

• Pro speedcuber at age 11
• Top 100 Call of Duty 4 player
• College football player at Princeton
• Hedge fund trader at BlackRock
• And now a full-time digital builder

Here's how:
Every skill is a game.

So there are:

• Rules
• Prizes
• Losers
• Winners
• Shortcuts
• Different levels

And here's the 3-part framework to win every time:

1. Immediately start playing
2. Totally immerse yourself
3. Iterate & tighten your feedback loops

How to use ChatGPT to generate 100 ideas to write about in only 5 minutes—even if you think you have nothing to say: Image
By the end of this thread, you will:

1. Discover the topics you *want* to write about

2. Get *specific* on those topics so readers will trust you

3. Come up with *engaging* & *valuable* ideas for each topic

4. Then, you'll outsource the whole process to ChatGPT with my prompt Image
Now, before I give you the Endless Idea Generation Mega Prompt, you need to understand the "thinking" for how it works.

Then, you can outsource the "doing" to ChatGPT.

And trust me, with this prompt, ChatGPT is *very good* at the "doing."
