A 5-step process to learn new things
Have you ever tried to understand how you learn new things?
This is something that I constantly ask myself.
The world moves fast, and staying ahead of the curve requires more than random chance. How do I make sure I’m still moving forward without getting overwhelmed by everything that’s happening?
I’ve been iterating on my process to learn new things for quite some time now. At this point, it has become second nature, and it keeps me sharp and focused on what truly matters.
It’s time to put it out there and let others benefit from it as well.
A summary in five bullets

- I avoid scheduling learning sessions
- I seek to get myself into uncomfortable situations
- I always try to teach what I learn
- I constantly circle back looking for reinforcement
