accelerated learning

• ‣ The more we develop our understanding about the world and how it works the easier it is for us to adapt and pivot when circumstances change. This does not imply for the whole world, this also implies for the field that you're in.
• ‣ From biology, we know that the organisms who adapt to constantly changing environments survive and thrive or they become extinct.
• ‣ The greatest enemy of learning is "What you think you know", which basically means that when you know something, learning something new means that you might have to change your mind.
• ‣ Overcoming ego is the biggest challenge of learning.
• ‣ You enhance your skills the most when you push yourself to the limits of your abilities. Pushing yourself to the point where it feels challenging and yet doable.
• ‣ Two main places where we can learn from :
• • ‣ Learning from History
    • ‣ Learning from the experience of others by studying history and applying it in the present, because history tends to repeat itself.
      ‣ History is one of our biggest sources of Fundamental Knowledge.
      ‣ But this is also a double-edged sword because knowledge collapses over time, much of what we know today will be proven false one day.
  • ‣ Learning from experience
    • ‣ Double-loop learning is a way of updating your opinions and ideas when new evidence and experience show up.
      ‣ If you keep repeating the same mistakes again and again then you’re using single-loop learning.
      ‣ Reflection allows you to change your experience into learning, and make adjustments based on both successes and failures
• ‣ The Feynman Technique to Learn Better & Faster
• ‣ Select a concept to learn.
  ‣ Teach it to a child.
  ‣ Review and refine your understanding.
  ‣ Organize your notes and revisit them regularly.
• ‣ Spaced Repetition (Key to not forgetting your learnings)
• ‣ It involves revisiting and revising concepts at regular intervals so that you don’t forget them.
  ‣ You need to keep retrieving the information again and again from your memory in order to really not forget.
