In today’s solo episode I’ll talk about learning skills fast.
How can we learn a skill in the most efficient way possible?
Steps To Learn A Skill
Now what if we wanted to elaborate on that framework to give you a step by step guide to learn something efficiently?
In later episodes I can quote and share some specific learning frameworks from creators like Carol Dweck and Tim Ferris, but today I’ll mention a checklist of things we should have to learn anything fast.
- Define your target performance level. Decide what you want? Clearly define what it is you want to aim to do?
- Deconstruct the skill into its component parts. Break it down into manageable chunks to learn.
- Prioritize the most important sub-skills for you first. Apply Pareto’s Principle to your learning efforts.
- Don’t procrastinate. Try the actual skill in its truest possible form right away so you have the ability to anchor your learning.
- Research. Learn from teachers in books, courses, coaches and content how to learn the sub skills.
- Dedicate time in your schedule to focused, frictionless practice.
- Seek feedback as soon as possible from people who understand what it’s like to learn the skill.
- Commit to a minimum of forty dedicated hours in trying the skill.
- Create an environment of accountability by adding rewards, and or consequences for your effort.
