My Current Approach to Learning Faster 📝💨
During our first live session of “THE PULSE”, Jakub explained the idea behind the CommunityIndustry community and our current game plan for taking it to another level in a relatively short period of time.
He was also showing you our platform Tapdust, which is another tool for compressing time, getting rapid access to information from your own portfolio, and understanding what is currently going on there.
You don’t necessarily need to watch the full recording. Your time is limited, I get it, and 94 minutes is quite a lot. Instead, I recommend watching the first 30 minutes, mainly to get familiar with Jakub himself :) and his mission here.
During the call, Jakub asked me if I could answer three questions.
The first question focused on what caught my attention that week. The second was about what I was currently working on, and the third was about the current members of our community. Who gave me some value, caught my attention, etc.
For the third question, I mentioned Mason's post. I was able to connect with him in the comment section and give him a few tips on how to get more members into his own Claude Code community.
There’s no need to go deeper into my answers here because you can hear them in the recording. What really mattered to me was the first question and Jakub’s advice.
I was working on LEVEL 1 in Community Investment Mastery, especially on improving my empathy. I see empathy as a solid foundation for building relationships that last more than two years and also for connecting individuals with each other.
I strongly believe in the power of education. That means I love self-improvement, personal growth, and constantly learning new things. For me, it’s not just about reading a book and saying, “Yeah, that was a really great book.”
And then what? What’s the next step?
I like expanding my horizontal knowledge so I can build strong context and understand as much as possible across different areas. But when I find something I genuinely want to become an expert in, then obviously I’ll go much deeper.
You can probably see a recurring pattern here: my TIME is my most valuable asset.
That’s why I started using YouTube channels that summarize books in just a few minutes. This approach allows me to expand my horizontal understanding of many different topics very quickly. Just imagine someone tells you, “Read one book per week.”
First of all, that approach is a little old-fashioned. You need to rent or buy the book, start reading it, take notes, process everything, and so on. It takes a lot of time.
Now imagine you find a book you want to read, but instead of going through that whole process immediately, you first get the golden nuggets in a few minutes. That gives you basic knowledge about a lot of new topics very quickly. Then, if something really catches your attention, you can dig much deeper into it.
If we use the first method and read one book per week, that’s 52 books per year. With the second method, you could summarize 52 books in around 2.5 months if you go through one book summary every workday.
I’m still reading books, but the amount of information and context I’ve gained from this approach over the past month has honestly been crazy.
Jakub also asked me which books helped me with EQ, or emotional intelligence. The two books I’d recommend are “Emotional Intelligence” by Daniel Goleman and The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene.
Do you have any time-saving hacks that help you learn more without spending too much time on it?
