bet herself is gonna give us five amazing tips on how to learn faster I

hope you guys enjoy every single one of us is either learning something new at

the moment or is planning to do in the future who is playing an instrument

learning a second language drawing or maybe learning how to code in the past

he must depended on learning new things they had to learn more effective ways to

hunt and learn how to make better tools so they can have a higher chance of

survival we see that learning has always been an integral part of our lives so it

comes natural that we spend some time learning how to learn here are five tips

that you can use to lap your competition and leave your friends wondering how you

learn so fast number one deconstruct the skill and

implement the 8020 principle it is a concept developed by Italian economist

vilfredo pareto which explains that 80% of your desired outputs will come from

only 20% of your inputs well the exact ratio of varies from situation to

situation you'll find that 20% of people in your life will lead to 80% of your

happiness 20% of your customers will drive 80 percent of your sales and 20

percent of your learning methods will lead to 80% of your results when it

comes to learning it feels like there's so much we don't know so it's easy to

jump around everywhere this will only lead to wasted time what you want to do

instead is to focus on one or two things that will drive the middle for what you

want to achieve and devote most of your time practicing those things for example

if you want to learn how to play the guitar instead of focusing on strumming

patterns notes on the fretboard hammer-on pull-off techniques you should

only focus on learning the basic chords and transitions between them because

that will give you 80% of the results and in 20% of the time you'll be able to

play the songs you wanted number two have a laser-like focus and use the

Pomodoro Technique to learn quickly it'll be important to

commit your full focus and attention when you're researching and practicing

your skill these days that's easier said than done thanks to our short attention

spans and constantly buzzing devices to help you stay focused start using the

Pomodoro Technique the Pomodoro Technique consists of shutting down all

external distractions and fully focusing on the task for short period of time

usually 20 to 25 minutes and then taking a short break of one to five minutes

I've learned coding from scratch in four months by using this principle my daily

schedule was 12 Commodore sessions each spending around 25 minutes of focus

State and five minutes of rest and after every four sessions I would take a

longer break the Pomodoro Technique produces amazing results because our

brain is more receptive to new information when we're focused when you

look at it it's basically common sense more focused in steeper connections

number three learn by doing immersion is by far the best way to learn anything

and as research shows it turns out that humans retained 10% of what they learned

from reading twenty percent of what I learned from audio-visual 50% of what

alert when they see a demonstration up to 70 percent of what they learn when

they practice what they learned and up to 90 percent of what they learn when

they use it immediately try to remember how you learned to play soccer

ride a bicycle or swim instead of watching tutorials or reading a textbook

on how to do something the way to learn faster is to get your hands dirty and

gain experience through making mistakes number four be persistent unfortunately

many of us give up before or during what Seth Godin calls the dip Gordon says

that although it's important to know when to quit many potential winners

don't reach success because they quit before the dip according to Gordon five

reasons you might fail to follow through are you run out of time and quit you run

out of money and quit you get scared and quit you're not serious about it then

quit or you lose interest and quit psychologists have also studied what's

known as the transition cycle when we experience the opportunity to learn

something new we enter what many people call the honeymoon phase this is where

we experience releases of dopamine is ryx perience new things in other words

we're hardwired to appreciate and seek out novelty because it makes us feel

good once the honeymoon phase is over we experience the dip and our progress

begins to Plateau or diminish this is when most of us quit the reason why this

is important is that if you can predict the dip is coming when you're learning

something new it's easier to fight through it because you know deep exists

and it only lasts it's temporary number five get enough

sleep sleep plays a big role in our ability to learn new information and

skills when we are awake new situations and stimuli can prevent new memories

from consolidating in our minds but when we are asleep we're better at creating

new memories one study from a German research lab found that sleep helps our

memory formation most if you know you will need the information later in fact

some scientists believe the brain can actually change its own structure and

organization this is a theory called the brain plasticity theory and it suggests

those all-important structural and organizational changes in our brain take

place when we are asleep without adequate sleep we have a hard time

learning something new because our brain doesn't have the opportunity to review

and absorb the new information when you get enough sleep while you're learning a

new skill you'll be able to consolidate those memories faster and make fewer

mistakes overall so to recap break down the skill and use the Pareto principle

practice the 20% that will give you 80% of the results focus deeply when

practicing the skill and use multiple Pomodoro sessions learn by immersing

yourself and actually doing the skill you're learning watching or reading is

not enough be persistent and follow through the deep where majority of

people will quit and finally get adequate sleep to help your brain store
