How to learn

Chapter 1: Procrastination 

    You don’t like the idea of learning something new because it adds a small amount of stress to your life and as a result can cause anxiety. Solution is: JUST DO IT. The pain of learning will go away quickly, JUST DO IT, NOW. Remember this: Long term Satisfaction is far better than short term joy. 

Chapter 2: Remember what you learned 

    Brain remembers things based on how important they are so make your brain think the things you are learning are important. Reinforce and strengthen the synapses in your brain by doing things multiple times and going over it multiple times. Don’t tackle everything at once and focus on the things you really need to improve on. Most important thing in the whole video: SLEEP, EXERCISE AND SOCIAL CONTANT IS EVERYTHING, PRIORITIZE THESE THINGS, no compromises, you hear that wakegn? NO COMPROMISES!!

Chapter 3: You are on your own. 

    2 modes of thinking, focuses and diffused. Focused with 0 distractions is for learning new things. Diffused is for expressing. You must do things yourself, problem solving is part of the process.

Chapter 4: It gets tough 

    Get across the major idea, don’t get lost in the details. Your brain will learn easier if it has something to relate to, so try to get to that point.

Chapter 5: You must study 

    You have to test yourself to remember things, this is why it needs to be important, because you know that you are going to test yourself on it. Try to do things from memory, mistakes are fine if you correct them and learn from them, this is apart of the learning process. Don’t refuse to learn new things when you get good at remembering things you already learned. Set aside time for deliberate practice. Don’t focus for very long periods on just one thing. Change between things and don’t be scared to mix things up. Set time for dedicated learning and time for free exploration for optimal improvement. 

Chapter 6: Everything is about the process

    Procrastination is normal. Unfamiliar things will feel strange and uncomfortable. Don’t focus about everything up ahead all the time, focus on the things RIGHT NOW. It will become easier the more you do it. Initiative is everything, without this there is no learning. Put in some investment of time, you will get something done, no matter how small you did something and that is what counts
