🧠How You Can Master Any Skill or Topic (Full Guide to Learning)
Here's a full guide on the pre-learning, intra-learning, and post-learning mechanics and actionable steps for you to start today.
Why it matters:
- Meta-learning is the most important skill to learn because you will save thousands of hours using a proven structure rather than trying random stuff.
- Whether you're trying to tackle a book or an entire topic, you can use this framework.
1 - 🎯Clarify Your Goals and Your Motivation
- Don’t start learning until you know why you’re doing it.
- Intrinsic motivation —> Consistency
- Extrinsic motivation --> Lower knowledge retention & learning efficacy
2 - 🤔Decide What to Learn:
- Be specific on exactly what you're going to learn
- Clarity will save you time and effort
3 - 🔎Research and Structure:
Overview of your topic
- Use tools like Google, book reviews, and audiobooks to filter useful information.
- Speed-listening to audiobooks (at 4x speed) can be a game-changer for initial research
- A treasure map is easier the second time around
4 - ❓Ask the Right Questions:
- Ask questions for curiosity
- Don't dive into the material just yet, generate interest by asking questions
5 - 🗒️Effective Note-Taking:
Cornell notes, but without stupid questions on the sides or highlighting.
- The right side has notes
- The left side turns notes into central ideas
- The bottom turns notes + central ideas into summaries
6 - 🗣️Practice Recitation:
- Recap what you've learned in some form of output
7 - 🗺️Connect the Dots:
Review the material and zoom out to get an eagle eye view; great for solidifying comprehension
- ‘Active-recall’
- Visual charts
8 - 👊Implement and Apply:
- Devise action steps from what you’ve learned and apply to real life
COMMENT what you're learning right now! (ex. music production, speaking, mathematics, etc.)
If you have any questions about implementing this to something specific also lmk
