If you're anything like me, you've spent your whole life picking up books without finishing them, or taking notes without understanding a single thing. When the time comes to actually do what you've been learning, you've got nothing to show for it!
Well, I've cracked the code. Three days and three simple steps, and you'll be able to learn anything.
On the first day of learning something new, it is critical to understand what you're dealing with and the structure of the information in its field. For example, learning physics often requires learning calculus first, but learning ancient history may require a multitude of reading, writing, and reasoning skills.
How do you map out the structure of what you want to learn? Pick up a book and look at the chapters: how do they categorize the content? Or search it up and look at summary websites: how is the topic explained in five sentences or less? The organization of information can be found in these simple examples.
Once you have the information structure, you can start your attack. Presumably, you are learning something because you have a goal in mind. For example, language learners want to have conversational fluency.
The attack consists of matching your goal to the topic. You don't need to learn everything; you just need to learn how to achieve your goal. However, there is a hidden trap that always comes with our attack, and that brings us to step three.
By learning something new extremely rapidly, you will hit the wall. You soon find that your goal is different than what you thought it was. And therefore, you will have to match it to different topics than you did previously.
As you continue learning, there are more and more topics that your goal touches upon. And at the end of this, you learn that it takes longer than three days to learn something new...
