We've got a bunch of votes at 1M, you wanted me to explain learning knowledge-based skills, here it is. Before you proceed, Read each line and Consider it's relation to the GUIDE as a whole. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------— Intro I'm defining "knowledge-based skills" as the other half of a skill, or simply a topic. For example, "half of a skill." In coding, you can separate it into 2 stages. 1. Declarative (knowledge/concept) 2. Procedural (process/doing) You can learn coding as a concept, but you will never get GOOD at it without doing it. Examples of topics would be, psychology, understanding women, The Male Advantage, etc. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------— 𝐓𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: Chapter 1: What is NOT Effective Learning Chapter 2: What is Effective Learning?

You might want to skip to the methods, but DO NOT. Why does this need an entire chapter you ask? I've got to break some beliefs, that's why. 🚩1. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨? Learning is the MENTAL storing of information (in our heads). Here's what it isn't: - NOT "learn by doing bro, change your behavior bro" 🤪 - NOT "oh bro, just do more repetitions bro" - NOT "but I read the book twice bro" Our goal of "storing" is to get it into our Long-Term Memory, so we don't forget it after a month. 🚩2. 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘕𝘌𝘌𝘋𝘚 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵. Remember in school, teacher's talking (yapping), when you'd be sat in class bored out of your mind. You're half asleep. It's happened to us ALL. If I ask, what did she say? You won't remember, because you weren't using effort. Levels of Thinking

I’ve spent over 300 hours researching the process of learning and effective tactics for learning skills. (Not just through study, but application and reflection). What are some of your questions on this topic, and if you have any… let me know your current learning goal and problem. Editing this post, in case anyone’s question wasn’t answered well enough, I made a guide on learning concepts

More on effective learning and NOT for any specific skill. Asking first if you would be interested, and specifically let me know what you plan on using it for. Editing this, here’s the link to the guide I made in case anyone’s interested https://www.skool.com/outliers/full-guide-to-learning-concepts-and-topics?p=554361b0

Kris recommends sprints as part of his fitness advice. How would you say we should implement this? What programme structure? How many? How much rest? etc. Or does it not matter, is any sprinting at all good enough? I’d love to hear what you guys think, especially those of you who have already implemented sprints in your routine.

I see too many people in here asking, "what book should I read? What's some of the best books you can recommend me?" Sure, set the habit of reading. I bet EVERYONE who's asked that has overcome not wanting to read. Instead, you need to set reading goals that solve SPECIFIC problems you're facing Not just any problem, but the MAIN ONE, which is your main focus of your life right now. Priority #1. The Big Picture? • Reading with an objective extracts what you need, saving you TIME🎯 • Instead of "read 10 pages", prioritize "learn how to XYZ"📅 📚For example, if you're trying to learn about mindset, don't just read the book. 🚫Your goal is not based around the book ➡️INSTEAD, focus on the TOPIC -> which means learning from multiple resources (videos, courses, podcasts, etc.) on the concept that will get you to the best understanding -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------— No, I'm not babbling out of my bum, this is a real thing. Reading isn't a waste of time, but I'm saying it COULD be BETTER.
