Scientist Ander Ericsson spent his life studying prodigies.
For 30 years, He analyzed the learning behaviors of top performers in different fields.
I consumed 100 hours of his best advice to learn hard skills.
Here are 7 tips to become a quick learner:
1. Drill Routine
Paavo Nurmi has 22 world records in marathons.
From 1500 meters to 20 km, he was simply the best. For a few years, he was untouchable. But once the other runner learned his training routine, everyone caught up.
Superior performance = Effective training.
2. Newbie gains
When you learn a new skill, you get newbie gains.
You improve rapidly while putting in low effort. But after a while, you stop seeing any quick results, no matter how hard you try. People think they’ve reached the limit.
