00:00 - 00:03

most people don't know how to learn

00:01 - 00:05

because they fry their brain with

00:03 - 00:08

podcasts and YouTube videos and books

00:05 - 00:11

and textbooks and social media and 6

00:08 - 00:13

months later after learning so much they

00:11 - 00:16

have nothing to show for it why are you

00:13 - 00:18

even learning in the first place if not

00:16 - 00:20

to do something with it learning for

00:18 - 00:22

most people has become a form of mental

00:20 - 00:24

masturbation it's the same cheap

00:22 - 00:26

dopamine you get from scrolling on your

00:24 - 00:28

phone but even worse because it makes

00:26 - 00:30

you feel as if you're learning something

00:28 - 00:32

but the reality is you'll forget about

00:30 - 00:34

it by tomorrow now here's the harsh

00:32 - 00:37

truth you're learning slow and if you

00:34 - 00:40

can learn 10 times faster you can

00:37 - 00:42

achieve success faster you can complete

00:40 - 00:43

the portfolio project you can start the

00:42 - 00:45

business you can articulate your

00:43 - 00:47

thoughts in your writing or whatever it

00:45 - 00:49

is that you're learning even further

00:47 - 00:51

it's my belief that most people are just

00:49 - 00:54

wasting time you can probably learn what

00:51 - 00:56

you need to learn within 2 weeks when

00:54 - 00:58

most people take 6 months to learn that

00:56 - 01:01

one thing so to do that you need to

00:58 - 01:02

learn how to learn and that's what we're

01:01 - 01:04

going to talk about in this video we're

01:02 - 01:07

going to cover these topics the protoge

01:04 - 01:09

effect andan technique how to optimize

01:07 - 01:11

for pattern recognition which is very

01:09 - 01:14

important how to use AI to speed up the

01:11 - 01:16

process and Project based learning so

01:14 - 01:18

you actually do something and you

01:16 - 01:20

solidify the knowledge so this is going

01:18 - 01:21

to be a very practical video my other

01:20 - 01:24

ones are more philosophical more

01:21 - 01:26

abstract this is just like straight

01:24 - 01:28

here's how you learn so please be ready

01:26 - 01:30

to take out your notes cuz we're going

01:28 - 01:31

to go over practical examples with

01:30 - 01:34

screen recordings and everything and by

01:31 - 01:37

the end of this you should have a clear

01:34 - 01:40

path to learning any skill that matters

01:37 - 01:41

fast so let's start with this previous

01:40 - 01:43

tweet of mine when I want to learn

01:41 - 01:46

something new I don't start learning

01:43 - 01:49

first I outline a project first then I

01:46 - 01:51

learn exactly what I need and build out

01:49 - 01:53

the project while learning I found that

01:51 - 01:55

this solidifies teachings into my brain

01:53 - 01:58

much faster the mark of a free person is

01:55 - 02:00

that they learn how to learn that is the

01:58 - 02:03

meta skill that is the skill of all

02:00 - 02:06

skills is if you're in order to pick up

02:03 - 02:08

a skill that changes your life you need

02:06 - 02:09

to know how to learn that skill

02:08 - 02:11

effectively so that you can use it

02:09 - 02:13

because if you don't choose what to

02:11 - 02:15

learn you will be told what to learn and

02:13 - 02:17

if your mind is the operating system for

02:15 - 02:19

reality the options available for your

02:17 - 02:21

future will be drastically limited and

02:19 - 02:23

you won't even realize it more

02:21 - 02:25

importantly the most important thing you

02:23 - 02:28

can do when the world is rapidly

02:25 - 02:31

changing like it is with technology and

02:28 - 02:33

AI is learn learn learning is the single

02:31 - 02:36

most important skill because it allows

02:33 - 02:38

you to learn the skills that can't be

02:36 - 02:40

taught in schools cuz the schools are

02:38 - 02:43

they're just this big system this big

02:40 - 02:45

maybe outdated system that take a long

02:43 - 02:48

time to catch up with the times changing

02:45 - 02:50

a curriculum is a lot slower than

02:48 - 02:52

someone who learns the topic fast makes

02:50 - 02:55

a YouTube video on it for you to learn

02:52 - 02:57

even faster and if you can keep up with

02:55 - 02:58

that if you can keep up and adapt with

02:57 - 03:00

the latest skills that are coming in

02:58 - 03:03

adding them to your tool belt you can do

03:00 - 03:05

some incredible things so the first step

03:03 - 03:08

to learning how to learn is to create a

03:05 - 03:10

map of your ideal life because I've

03:08 - 03:12

watched countless tutorials not only

03:10 - 03:14

researching for this video but learning

03:12 - 03:15

how to learn myself in the past I've

03:14 - 03:17

watched countless videos listen to

03:15 - 03:19

countless podcasts of people teaching

03:17 - 03:22

how to study or learn it seems like the

03:19 - 03:24

missing piece is that they just don't go

03:22 - 03:26

over why you're learning in the first

03:24 - 03:28

place people choose something to learn

03:26 - 03:30

but it doesn't connect to any of their

03:28 - 03:32

current skills and doesn't connect to

03:30 - 03:35

the life they want to live this is

03:32 - 03:37

dangerous you won't want to learn if

03:35 - 03:39

there is no deeper meaning or Clarity

03:37 - 03:40

behind it you will need more discipline

03:39 - 03:42

and you'll probably continue to hate

03:40 - 03:44

learning like you did in school or

03:42 - 03:45

you'll feel like your learning is for

03:44 - 03:47

the sole purpose of getting a job or

03:45 - 03:50

career that you didn't care about in the

03:47 - 03:52

first place so that's step one to create

03:50 - 03:54

an aim for your learning that way you

03:52 - 03:56

can feel the progress you are making

03:54 - 03:58

toward your self-generated goals not the

03:56 - 04:00

goals Society assigned to you that is a

03:58 - 04:02

major Key of Life enjoyment and I'll

04:00 - 04:04

spare you the psychology around that

04:02 - 04:05

that go read the book flow by Mii chiet

04:04 - 04:07

me high and you'll understand what I'm

04:05 - 04:09

saying here if you don't enjoy what

04:07 - 04:11

you're learning and you just feel like

04:09 - 04:13

you're learning to do something that was

04:11 - 04:15

expected of you since you were a kid

04:13 - 04:17

that your parents wanted for you or that

04:15 - 04:21

Society wanted for you you're not going

04:17 - 04:24

to enjoy it and that alone is going to

04:21 - 04:26

hurt how much you learn people who enjoy

04:24 - 04:28

learning something can be so much better

04:26 - 04:30

at people who are just innately smart so

04:28 - 04:33

we're going to do something very fun

04:30 - 04:34

here to create an aim for your future

04:33 - 04:36

we're just going to map this out you

04:34 - 04:38

don't have to do this inside of Cortex

04:36 - 04:40

but there is a template available for

04:38 - 04:43

you to download to fill these things out

04:40 - 04:46

now this is going to get extremely fun

04:43 - 04:47

with the AI prompt we have and so many

04:46 - 04:50

people have enjoyed using this prompt

04:47 - 04:52

because you you'll see what I mean but

04:50 - 04:54

first you're going to dissect your day

04:52 - 04:56

your current what you do every single

04:54 - 04:58

day so these are just examples for me

04:56 - 05:01

but in the morning you break down the

04:58 - 05:03

activities you do and how you feel while

05:01 - 05:05

you're doing this that part isn't too

05:03 - 05:07

important you can honestly just delete

05:05 - 05:10

this section if you want to the

05:07 - 05:13

important section is here so what do you

05:10 - 05:16

not want out of life and what do you

05:13 - 05:19

want out of life so you should get more

05:16 - 05:20

specific than I do here or else the AI

05:19 - 05:22

prompt is going to yell at you to get

05:20 - 05:24

more specific we've talked about vision

05:22 - 05:27

and anti- vision many times in many

05:24 - 05:29

videos now you're going to break it down

05:27 - 05:32

you're going to gain Clarity because a

05:29 - 05:34

higher Ary of goals frames your mind for

05:32 - 05:37

what you are going to learn if you don't

05:34 - 05:39

have these things written down when you

05:37 - 05:43

go to learn something you aren't going

05:39 - 05:44

to know how to apply it to your goals

05:43 - 05:46

because you don't have goals you just

05:44 - 05:48

have the goal of going to school getting

05:46 - 05:52

a job so the only thing your mind is

05:48 - 05:55

trying to pick up as information fuels

05:52 - 05:57

that goal so generate your own goals

05:55 - 05:59

here what skills and knowledge you need

05:57 - 06:01

to acquire in order to achieve them

05:59 - 06:04

which will also help shape your learning

06:01 - 06:05

and what you decide to learn and then

06:04 - 06:08

are there distractions standing in the

06:05 - 06:11

way now you can go even further so each

06:08 - 06:15

week what I would recommend doing is

06:11 - 06:17

duplicating this specific part so what

06:15 - 06:19

went well last week what didn't go well

06:17 - 06:22

you can write down gratitude goals for

06:19 - 06:24

this week uh different connections

06:22 - 06:26

inside of your workspace if you want to

06:24 - 06:28

and then every day you can write out

06:26 - 06:31

your tasks and I can duplicate this as

06:28 - 06:34

well change this to Tuesday so on and so

06:31 - 06:36

forth so when you have your plan your

06:34 - 06:40

life plan you can rename this template

06:36 - 06:43

to my life plan but if we go over to

06:40 - 06:47

chats what I can do is create a new chat

06:43 - 06:49

and we're going to use this document

06:47 - 06:52

you'll see how but we're also going to

06:49 - 06:54

go to my prompts you can also find a

06:52 - 06:56

link to this in the description and

06:54 - 07:00

we're going to go to the Strategic

06:56 - 07:02

advisor prompt here and what this says

07:00 - 07:03

is so cool it's act as my personal

07:02 - 07:06

strategic advisor with the following

07:03 - 07:07

context you have an IQ of 180 you're

07:06 - 07:09

brutally honest and direct you built

07:07 - 07:10

multiple billion dollar companies you

07:09 - 07:13

have deep expertise in Psychology

07:10 - 07:15

strategy and execution etc etc your

07:13 - 07:17

mission is to identify the critical gaps

07:15 - 07:20

holding me back design specific action

07:17 - 07:23

plans to close those gaps push me beyond

07:20 - 07:25

my comfort zone etc for each response

07:23 - 07:27

start with the hard truth I need to hear

07:25 - 07:30

follow a specific actionable steps end

07:27 - 07:32

with a direct challeng or assignment now

07:30 - 07:34

this is important because your strategic

07:32 - 07:36

advisor here is going to identify blind

07:34 - 07:38

spots and you can just talk to it the

07:36 - 07:39

entire time as you're learning things

07:38 - 07:41

with the prompts we're also going to

07:39 - 07:43

talk about later in this video for

07:41 - 07:45

creating something like a study guide

07:43 - 07:47

for the skill you're trying to learn so

07:45 - 07:51

I do have to mention that this was found

07:47 - 07:53

from a pollinator 3000 on Twitter uh

07:51 - 07:56

it's just a really good prompt I really

07:53 - 07:59

enjoy it so we're going to take this

07:56 - 08:02

we're going to copy dang it I can't copy

07:59 - 08:05

stuff okay command C we're going to

08:02 - 08:07

press tab to toggle on Kai which is new

08:05 - 08:09

cortex AI pretty cool but again you can

08:07 - 08:11

copy paste this into chat GPT whatever

08:09 - 08:14

I'm just showing it here because it's my

08:11 - 08:17

software right but we're going to enter

08:14 - 08:20

this and it's going to respond when it's

08:17 - 08:26

ready and it says okay I'm ready and I'm

08:20 - 08:27

going to say I want you to review at my

08:26 - 08:32

life

08:27 - 08:37

plan and help me achieve my goals what

08:32 - 08:40

do I need to do it's going to go over

08:37 - 08:42

it and it just rips you

08:40 - 08:44

apart now this is pretty long I'm not

08:42 - 08:46

going to read this entire thing uh but

08:44 - 08:49

this life plan is a scattered collection

08:46 - 08:51

of thoughts not a strategic road map

08:49 - 08:53

prioritize ruthlessly with the action

08:51 - 08:56

rewrite your goals identify your

08:53 - 08:58

bottleneck systematize your health in

08:56 - 09:02

relationships eliminate distractions

08:58 - 09:04

Focus projects by tomorrow rewrite your

09:02 - 09:07

life plan with the following one primary

09:04 - 09:10

goal revise secondary goals clear Define

09:07 - 09:13

smart goals identification of your

09:10 - 09:14

bottleneck a list of focused projects

09:13 - 09:16

don't come back until you've done the

09:14 - 09:19

work and then you can just keep talking

09:16 - 09:20

to this as we go so that was step one so

09:19 - 09:23

after you have your life plan your aim

09:20 - 09:25

your frame for learning that's important

09:23 - 09:27

that optimizes pattern recognition to an

09:25 - 09:29

extent so you can notice the right

09:27 - 09:32

information so you aren't learning the

09:29 - 09:34

wrong thing step two is to outline a

09:32 - 09:36

project listen to this carefully the

09:34 - 09:39

best way to learn is to build a real

09:36 - 09:41

world project and only search for

09:39 - 09:43

information when you need it how much

09:41 - 09:45

you learn is directly correlated with

09:43 - 09:47

how much progress you make on the

09:45 - 09:49

project when you watch endless tutorials

09:47 - 09:51

you fill your mind with noise and Chaos

09:49 - 09:53

most of that information goes to waste

09:51 - 09:55

it leads to overwhelm anxiety and slows

09:53 - 09:57

down how fast you learn when it comes

09:55 - 09:58

time to build the project the only

09:57 - 10:01

reason you're learning in the first

09:58 - 10:02

place you feel as if you learned nothing

10:01 - 10:04

and have to search for the information

10:02 - 10:07

anyway so if you want to learn faster

10:04 - 10:08

skip the tutorial phase outline the

10:07 - 10:10

project first and now you don't

10:08 - 10:13

necessarily need to skip the tutorial

10:10 - 10:15

phase you just need to start the project

10:13 - 10:18

and hit that struggling point and then

10:15 - 10:20

when you go into the tutorial phase you

10:18 - 10:22

you actually pick up the information now

10:20 - 10:24

when I say outline a project or create a

10:22 - 10:27

project this tends to confuse some

10:24 - 10:29

people a project can be anything your

10:27 - 10:31

health can be a project your body body

10:29 - 10:33

can be a project your relationship can

10:31 - 10:35

be a project your business can be a

10:33 - 10:38

project an image in Photoshop can be a

10:35 - 10:40

project a website for your portfolio can

10:38 - 10:43

be a project a project is simply a

10:40 - 10:44

structured way of achieving a goal or

10:43 - 10:46

making progress toward a goal it's a way

10:44 - 10:48

to further narrow your frame of

10:46 - 10:50

reference so your mind biases the right

10:48 - 10:52

information as you learn and again this

10:50 - 10:54

continues to optimize pattern

10:52 - 10:56

recognition as you read books study

10:54 - 10:58

tutorials or have conversations good

10:56 - 11:00

dopamine will spurt into your brain to

10:58 - 11:02

signal that information is important for

11:00 - 11:04

the completion of the project your

11:02 - 11:06

subconscious will munch on problems and

11:04 - 11:08

send relevant ideas to your conscious

11:06 - 11:10

mind this is what creatives call shower

11:08 - 11:12

thoughts it's when the default mode

11:10 - 11:14

network is active in your brain while at

11:12 - 11:17

quote unquote rest think of when you're

11:14 - 11:18

on a walk or even more prevalent for

11:17 - 11:20

most people is when you're about to fall

11:18 - 11:23

asleep late at night and you're working

11:20 - 11:24

on a project and idea ideas keep you up

11:23 - 11:26

and you can't stop typing them into your

11:24 - 11:28

phone if you haven't experienced that

11:26 - 11:30

yeah it sucks to not be able to sleep

11:28 - 11:32

but it feels so good because that's when

11:30 - 11:35

the ideas come the most when you're not

11:32 - 11:37

focused on work when your brain isn't in

11:35 - 11:39

that task positive Network Charles

11:37 - 11:42

Darwin as an example worked on his

11:39 - 11:44

projects in focused blocks then went on

11:42 - 11:46

long walks on these walks his brain was

11:44 - 11:48

at rest and potential solutions to

11:46 - 11:50

problems pop into his head when I write

11:48 - 11:53

newsletters as a small project within a

11:50 - 11:55

bigger project of my business I outline

11:53 - 11:57

the newsletter at the start of the week

11:55 - 11:59

I don't just write my newsletters Allin

11:57 - 12:01

one go this is a weekly process process

11:59 - 12:04

the outline creates my frame of

12:01 - 12:06

reference I outline it and then as I'm

12:04 - 12:08

writing it day by day slowly and going

12:06 - 12:10

on walks and listening to stuff and

12:08 - 12:13

researching for the newsletter or a book

12:10 - 12:16

or whatever it is then novel ideas come

12:13 - 12:18

to my mind that I can use to write if I

12:16 - 12:20

were to just sit down and try to spit

12:18 - 12:22

out what's in my brain Allin one go it

12:20 - 12:23

could be good but I'm not necessarily

12:22 - 12:25

learning anything or doing anything

12:23 - 12:28

unique so when you have a project

12:25 - 12:29

outline if you do it in cortex you can

12:28 - 12:30

just open up your phone mobile apps

12:29 - 12:33

coming soon which is awesome and you can

12:30 - 12:34

type at or plus to connect to that

12:33 - 12:36

specific document that you're creating

12:34 - 12:38

the outline in and you can just save

12:36 - 12:41

ideas there you can save ideas without

12:38 - 12:44

having AI respond to you then they're

12:41 - 12:45

right there when you sit down to fill

12:44 - 12:47

out the outline of your project and you

12:45 - 12:49

can also just talk to Kai and be like

12:47 - 12:51

okay how do I do this part how do I do

12:49 - 12:53

this part so here's how you start a

12:51 - 12:55

project choose something to build that

12:53 - 12:57

moves the needle toward what you want in

12:55 - 12:59

life from earlier create a note or

12:57 - 13:01

document and brain dump everything that

12:59 - 13:04

comes to mind save three to five sources

13:01 - 13:06

of inspiration that you want to emulate

13:04 - 13:07

so if I'm creating a YouTube video as a

13:06 - 13:09

project I would save three to five

13:07 - 13:11

YouTube videos I would want to create

13:09 - 13:12

similar iterations of this part is so

13:11 - 13:15

important even when you're creating

13:12 - 13:16

Photoshop or art or something like that

13:15 - 13:20

as a beginner or tweets or writing

13:16 - 13:23

anything a book a a a course whatever it

13:20 - 13:26

may be you start by pulling certain

13:23 - 13:27

parts of those things into your own

13:26 - 13:29

project so you're not necessarily

13:27 - 13:31

starting from scratch you're just just

13:29 - 13:34

not starting with a tutorial you're

13:31 - 13:36

trying to imitate intelligent imitation

13:34 - 13:38

you're trying to pull from multiple

13:36 - 13:40

sources to create your own thing and

13:38 - 13:42

then as you go and hit sticking points

13:40 - 13:44

that's when you learn best now with this

13:42 - 13:46

you want to study those sources and

13:44 - 13:48

break down their structure or

13:46 - 13:51

characteristics then outline the project

13:48 - 13:53

into sections Milestones images

13:51 - 13:55

inspiration and what you need to know in

13:53 - 13:57

order to complete it and then of course

13:55 - 13:59

have a place to capture ideas that come

13:57 - 14:01

to mind preferably somewhere you don't

13:59 - 14:04

lose the ideas or forget about them you

14:01 - 14:06

can do this in Apple notes or todoist or

14:04 - 14:09

notion or any of those things now after

14:06 - 14:11

outlining a project step three is to

14:09 - 14:13

start with what you know because

14:11 - 14:15

learning comes from struggle not

14:13 - 14:17

memorization if you know nothing at

14:15 - 14:19

least try to take the first step

14:17 - 14:21

download the software and start playing

14:19 - 14:23

around try to create something anything

14:21 - 14:26

just get your mind in a state where it's

14:23 - 14:28

hungry to learn otherwise you probably

14:26 - 14:31

won't digest the information you search

14:28 - 14:33

for then follow this process you start

14:31 - 14:35

then you don't know what to do you try

14:33 - 14:38

and fail you search for the answer or

14:35 - 14:40

ask AI you try to implement the answer

14:38 - 14:42

you repeat until the project is complete

14:40 - 14:45

and if you can't find the answer you ask

14:42 - 14:47

an expert so a few years ago Google

14:45 - 14:49

searching was considered a skill being

14:47 - 14:51

able to type the right things into

14:49 - 14:53

Google to get the answer that you need

14:51 - 14:55

or being able to search Reddit or stack

14:53 - 14:58

Overflow if you're a programmer or

14:55 - 15:00

things like that now that AI has all of

14:58 - 15:02

that information prompt engineering is

15:00 - 15:04

becoming the new Google search in a

15:02 - 15:07

sense we're going to talk about AI as a

15:04 - 15:09

skill in the next video and how to learn

15:07 - 15:11

this prompt engineering that I'm talking

15:09 - 15:12

about because it's one of the new modern

15:11 - 15:15

skills that you can pair with any other

15:12 - 15:16

skill to Future proof yourself to an

15:15 - 15:19

extent because I believe it was the

15:16 - 15:21

founder of Nvidia who said machines

15:19 - 15:22

aren't going to replace people people

15:21 - 15:25

using machines are going to replace

15:22 - 15:27

people so if you learn how to use AI

15:25 - 15:29

Beyond just typing a sentence into it

15:27 - 15:31

you're setting yourself up quite well so

15:29 - 15:33

as an example if I'm building a project

15:31 - 15:35

or just an image in Photoshop and I get

15:33 - 15:37

stuck right I start I don't know what to

15:35 - 15:39

do I'm kind of just like trying out

15:37 - 15:41

different tools and then I can't create

15:39 - 15:43

it and let's say I want to remove a

15:41 - 15:45

background from an image I know nothing

15:43 - 15:48

about Photoshop right then I can just

15:45 - 15:50

type into Kai or AI in general and say

15:48 - 15:51

how do I remove the background of an

15:50 - 15:53

image in Photoshop and it will give me a

15:51 - 15:55

few different options that I can try

15:53 - 15:57

then I succeed and because I'm

15:55 - 15:59

struggling and my brain wanted to learn

15:57 - 16:01

that thing it kind of locks it in into

15:59 - 16:02

place a lot better and then you continue

16:01 - 16:04

on with the project and you keep going

16:02 - 16:06

so I can continue to ask more questions

16:04 - 16:07

like what are Selections in masks in

16:06 - 16:09

Photoshop how do I make a selection on

16:07 - 16:11

this type of image I was doing this the

16:09 - 16:12

other day where I was like in Premiere

16:11 - 16:14

editing something and I didn't know how

16:12 - 16:17

to do it so I pressed option C to open

16:14 - 16:18

up like a floating AI Pane and I just

16:17 - 16:20

asked really quick how do I get through

16:18 - 16:22

this and then I got through it and I was

16:20 - 16:23

able to edit a lot faster without having

16:22 - 16:25

to go through 10 different articles on

16:23 - 16:29

Google to find the answer so after

16:25 - 16:31

starting step 3.5 is how to start when

16:29 - 16:32

you don't feel like starting because

16:31 - 16:34

that's a big problem for a lot of people

16:32 - 16:36

is they just don't want to start so they

16:34 - 16:38

never do the zynic effect is a

16:36 - 16:40

psychological phenomenon where people

16:38 - 16:42

remember unfinished tasks more than

16:40 - 16:44

completed tasks meaning if we don't

16:42 - 16:46

complete tasks for our projects it's

16:44 - 16:48

much easier to find the motivation to

16:46 - 16:50

get started but how did you get started

16:48 - 16:52

from scratch so there's a trick here

16:50 - 16:54

that I learned from Justin Sun who is

16:52 - 16:56

another YouTuber who talks about

16:54 - 16:58

learning and he calls this the zynic

16:56 - 17:00

squared effect or the zaric effect

16:58 - 17:03

squared either one in other words you

17:00 - 17:06

want to kind of invoke the zynic effect

17:03 - 17:08

by starting easy tasks before getting

17:06 - 17:11

started on your project because if you

17:08 - 17:13

start those tasks then they'll be

17:11 - 17:15

unfinished and you'll want to continue

17:13 - 17:17

working on them and they lead naturally

17:15 - 17:19

into the task that you need to work on

17:17 - 17:21

so this could be something like setting

17:19 - 17:23

up your desk like literally coming and

17:21 - 17:25

cleaning your desk or I make coffee in

17:23 - 17:27

the morning and I come sit down or some

17:25 - 17:29

kind of ritual or routine that allows

17:27 - 17:31

you to just get into the thing when I

17:29 - 17:33

don't want to write my newsletter I just

17:31 - 17:35

go into the outline and I just promise

17:33 - 17:38

myself that I'm going to start looking

17:35 - 17:39

at it reading it uh typing up some ideas

17:38 - 17:41

that come to mind and then eventually I

17:39 - 17:43

hit something and I'm like okay I can

17:41 - 17:46

keep writing this thing so you don't

17:43 - 17:48

necessarily have to start doing what you

17:46 - 17:50

were doing before you just have to kind

17:48 - 17:52

of go into it start playing around a bit

17:50 - 17:53

and then once you start doing something

17:52 - 17:55

or mess with something you want to

17:53 - 17:57

continue doing it so for something like

17:55 - 18:00

going to the gym right if you're trying

17:57 - 18:01

to learn Fitness maybe you just go and

18:00 - 18:02

start walking on the treadmill there

18:01 - 18:04

like you just say I'm going to go walk

18:02 - 18:05

for 5 minutes and if I don't feel like

18:04 - 18:07

it doing anything here I'm going to

18:05 - 18:09

leave and most of the time you won't

18:07 - 18:10

leave if you have Clarity on what you're

18:09 - 18:13

doing remember hierarchy of goals you

18:10 - 18:15

need to know what to do and if you don't

18:13 - 18:18

know what to do then you need to study

18:15 - 18:20

right bring AI to the gym and just be

18:18 - 18:23

like hey what exercise should I do next

18:20 - 18:25

in uh this chest workout routine okay so

18:23 - 18:27

we're going to go back into the prompts

18:25 - 18:29

again and we're going to find the study

18:27 - 18:32

regimen prompt and we're going to take

18:29 - 18:34

this and we're going to open a new chat

18:32 - 18:35

you can rename these as well if you want

18:34 - 18:37

to keep them organized I'm just showing

18:35 - 18:39

you something you can name one strategic

18:37 - 18:41

adviser like I have here that you can go

18:39 - 18:42

back to and chat with when you need it

18:41 - 18:44

you can go back to your discipline coach

18:42 - 18:46

whenever you need to start the task and

18:44 - 18:47

now your study regimen you're going to

18:46 - 18:50

paste this in here and you're going to

18:47 - 18:52

place replace this part the topic with

18:50 - 18:54

whatever you want to learn so I'm going

18:52 - 18:58

to say storytelling then we're going to

18:54 - 19:00

send this here and I'll make this full

18:58 - 19:03

screen so you can actually see it once

19:00 - 19:06

it's done generating but what we have

19:03 - 19:09

here close the prompt library is a

19:06 - 19:11

60-day storytelling regimen according to

19:09 - 19:13

the prompt so the prompt was to give me

19:11 - 19:15

one bestselling book One technical book

19:13 - 19:17

multiple YouTube videos three to five

19:15 - 19:19

interest that complement the main topic

19:17 - 19:22

that I can explore as supplementary

19:19 - 19:24

education for fun because you don't

19:22 - 19:25

always just want to learn this like go

19:24 - 19:26

through this boring grind of learning

19:25 - 19:28

the information you want to learn

19:26 - 19:30

complimentary things that fill in the

19:28 - 19:32

gaps of what you're learning now what

19:30 - 19:35

you do here inside of this chat that you

19:32 - 19:37

can rename to study partner is you're

19:35 - 19:39

going to go through here and this is how

19:37 - 19:40

you're going to learn and I've gone

19:39 - 19:43

through this multiple times I've tested

19:40 - 19:46

it it actually gives you good

19:43 - 19:48

information and good books to go into so

19:46 - 19:50

phase one is immersion and Foundations

19:48 - 19:53

weeks one and two so you're going to

19:50 - 19:55

read the book story style structure

19:53 - 19:57

substance Etc why it's a Cornerstone

19:55 - 19:59

text action steps read two to three

19:57 - 20:01

chapters a day take notes on key

19:59 - 20:03

Concepts and you can take notes either

20:01 - 20:05

in this chat or in a document and

20:03 - 20:07

connect it to it and ask it to quiz it

20:05 - 20:10

on you you can say if you take notes

20:07 - 20:14

inside of a document here you can say

20:10 - 20:16

quiz me on at whatever the document is

20:14 - 20:18

and it will take it into context and

20:16 - 20:19

then also in that first phase the

20:18 - 20:23

YouTube video you're going to watch is

20:19 - 20:25

here Phase 2 technical application 3 to4

20:23 - 20:27

phase 3 creative exploration where you

20:25 - 20:29

can go through all of this phase 4

20:27 - 20:31

refinement and practice this so on and

20:29 - 20:33

so forth and it has action steps you can

20:31 - 20:35

take to actually learn storytelling and

20:33 - 20:37

it says okay let me know when you're

20:35 - 20:39

ready to dive into the first phase or if

20:37 - 20:42

you'd like to adjust any part of this

20:39 - 20:44

let's just say let's dive into the first

20:42 - 20:47

phase then it'll

20:44 - 20:49

go all right it just breaks down the

20:47 - 20:51

first phase that's awesome now I

20:49 - 20:53

actually want to find this YouTube video

20:51 - 20:56

here so I can show you how you could get

20:53 - 20:59

personalized study help on that thing

20:56 - 21:01

because with Kai you can talk to your

20:59 - 21:02

highlights or other things inside of

21:01 - 21:05

here and you can add YouTube videos with

21:02 - 21:07

a link to pull the transcript in from

21:05 - 21:09

them okay we're actually I'm going to

21:07 - 21:11

give this as an example because I've

21:09 - 21:13

actually listened to Brandon sanderson's

21:11 - 21:15

lectures on writing Science Fiction and

21:13 - 21:17

Fantasy because I want to personally

21:15 - 21:20

write a fable so I'm going to turn Kai

21:17 - 21:22

off just so I can save this in here but

21:20 - 21:24

what this does is it adds this to my

21:22 - 21:26

library so now I can access the

21:24 - 21:30

transcript and it's right here so I can

21:26 - 21:33

turn on Kai and I can say uh give me the

21:30 - 21:37

key points of this video and I can even

21:33 - 21:40

break it down and go deeper into the

21:37 - 21:41

actual uh timestamps of that specific

21:40 - 21:44

thing so if I listen to this video on a

21:41 - 21:46

walk and I want to be quizzed on a

21:44 - 21:51

specific timestamp related to it I'll

21:46 - 21:51

just say can you quiz me on these key

21:52 - 21:56

points and then I can go through here

21:54 - 21:58

and ask questions I can answer the

21:56 - 22:01

questions and then just get quizzed as

21:58 - 22:02

my study partner so now we have three

22:01 - 22:04

things inside of here we have the

22:02 - 22:06

Strategic advisor we have the discipline

22:04 - 22:08

coach and we have the study regimen so

22:06 - 22:09

those three things combined while

22:08 - 22:12

creating your project that you can

22:09 - 22:14

oscillate between really enhance your

22:12 - 22:16

learning now how do you actually

22:14 - 22:19

structure how you learn because we only

22:16 - 22:21

have so much time in a day the best way

22:19 - 22:25

in my opinion to do this is in three

22:21 - 22:27

different focused blocks the first is 30

22:25 - 22:28

to 90 minutes of building so you build

22:27 - 22:30

your project and search for information

22:28 - 22:32

information when you need it the second

22:30 - 22:34

is 30 to 60 minutes of learning so you

22:32 - 22:36

follow your study regimen and take notes

22:34 - 22:38

on what you learn and you can review

22:36 - 22:39

these notes by asking your notes to be

22:38 - 22:42

summarized in Kai that's actually one

22:39 - 22:45

thing I forgot to show you here is that

22:42 - 22:48

you can turn off Kai and you can capture

22:45 - 22:50

your notes to this specific thing you

22:48 - 22:53

can take all of your notes on a specific

22:50 - 22:56

video or on the topic in here and then

22:53 - 22:58

you can ask Kai to summarize what's in

22:56 - 23:00

the chat because it takes the entire

22:58 - 23:03

your chat into context now the last

23:00 - 23:04

block is 30 minutes of walking this way

23:03 - 23:07

you can listen to YouTube videos

23:04 - 23:09

audiobooks or lectures so go on a walk

23:07 - 23:11

and jot down ideas on your phone as they

23:09 - 23:13

come to mind those are your Keystone

23:11 - 23:15

habits that's when all of the learning

23:13 - 23:17

happens and the thing here is that

23:15 - 23:19

nobody is going to give you the time to

23:17 - 23:21

learn and build what you want to learn

23:19 - 23:23

and build you have to take the time put

23:21 - 23:25

them on your calender wake up an hour

23:23 - 23:27

earlier or stay up an hour later turn it

23:25 - 23:29

into a ritual grab your coffee pull up

23:27 - 23:31

your outline put on some focus music and

23:29 - 23:32

start Paving the way toward the future

23:31 - 23:35

you want to create so that's how you

23:32 - 23:38

learn in a nutshell but we can take it

23:35 - 23:40

even further with a few other Concepts

23:38 - 23:42

and to do this we write to

23:40 - 23:44

systematically reflect on what we learn

23:42 - 23:46

so here's the puzzle you know what you

23:44 - 23:47

want for your future you have a project

23:46 - 23:49

or a series of projects that will take

23:47 - 23:51

you there and you are learning and

23:49 - 23:54

building daily but there's one missing

23:51 - 23:55

piece and it turns out it's also a way

23:54 - 23:57

to further enhance how much you learn

23:55 - 23:59

the missing piece is people who care

23:57 - 24:01

about what You're Building because I'm

23:59 - 24:03

assuming that you want to do this

24:01 - 24:04

full-time you're learning and building

24:03 - 24:06

because you want that to turn into some

24:04 - 24:09

kind of sustainable life you want to

24:06 - 24:11

replace your job or career with a

24:09 - 24:13

calling an obsession and to do that you

24:11 - 24:15

need money at least enough to sustain

24:13 - 24:17

your ideal life you don't need millions

24:15 - 24:21

of dollars you just need enough to make

24:17 - 24:22

money you need people to care about what

24:21 - 24:24

you're building to make people care

24:22 - 24:26

about what you're building you need to

24:24 - 24:28

show what you're doing in public and in

24:26 - 24:31

most cases the best way to do that is

24:28 - 24:33

writing teaching what you know and what

24:31 - 24:36

you're learning as you build if you want

24:33 - 24:39

a master class in this go follow a Peter

24:36 - 24:41

levels or levels.io on Twitter where

24:39 - 24:42

he's just building out a game with AI

24:41 - 24:44

right now and he's just doing it in

24:42 - 24:46

public and he's adding features that his

24:44 - 24:48

followers wanted and by doing this

24:46 - 24:50

you're attracting people to what you

24:48 - 24:53

build so that they one care about it and

24:50 - 24:56

two you have an audience now that wants

24:53 - 24:57

to support you now why writing first

24:56 - 25:00

thing is that it's the foundation of

24:57 - 25:02

media and two it's accessible and anyone

25:00 - 25:04

can start writing right now no video

25:02 - 25:07

editing skills required and three it

25:04 - 25:09

holds much more power than just building

25:07 - 25:11

an audience of supporters writing is how

25:09 - 25:14

you systematically reflect on what you

25:11 - 25:16

learn when you teach what you learn you

25:14 - 25:18

expose more knowledge gaps you struggle

25:16 - 25:20

more to understand you have more

25:18 - 25:22

specific knowledge to research so this

25:20 - 25:24

is where the Fineman technique and

25:22 - 25:26

protoe effect come into play the Fineman

25:24 - 25:28

technique is a learning method

25:26 - 25:30

popularized by physicist Richard Fineman

25:28 - 25:32

in short it's about deeply understanding

25:30 - 25:34

a concept by explaining it in simple

25:32 - 25:36

terms as if you were teaching it to

25:34 - 25:38

someone with no prior knowledge so to do

25:36 - 25:40

this you choose a concept so you select

25:38 - 25:42

the topic you want to understand you

25:40 - 25:44

teach it you explain the concept in

25:42 - 25:46

simple language as if you were teaching

25:44 - 25:48

it to a child and then you identify gaps

25:46 - 25:50

so when you struggle to explain

25:48 - 25:52

something clearly identify the areas

25:50 - 25:54

where your understanding is weak last

25:52 - 25:56

you review and simplify so go back to

25:54 - 25:58

the source material or you're learning

25:56 - 26:00

you relearn the concepts and then try

25:58 - 26:02

explaining them again in even simpler

26:00 - 26:04

terms now this overlaps with What's

26:02 - 26:06

called the Protege effect which in short

26:04 - 26:08

is the teacher learns more than the

26:06 - 26:10

student teaching what you know or what

26:08 - 26:13

you learn encourages you to make sense

26:10 - 26:15

of it in your own way to finally string

26:13 - 26:18

it together in your own mind so that you

26:15 - 26:20

can that's learning and by doing this it

26:18 - 26:22

exposes even more gaps in your knowledge

26:20 - 26:24

because if I'm talking to a camera and

26:22 - 26:26

then I watch back over it or I Stumble

26:24 - 26:28

over my words right now I have something

26:26 - 26:31

to improve I have something to learn

26:28 - 26:33

more what this does is it increases the

26:31 - 26:36

effect of pattern recognition life

26:33 - 26:38

becomes more enjoyable and serendipitous

26:36 - 26:40

because you notice more things in life

26:38 - 26:41

that can help you achieve the projects

26:40 - 26:45

or goals that you set your mind to you

26:41 - 26:47

learn more just from living so how do we

26:45 - 26:50

merge both of these with what you're

26:47 - 26:52

already learning you do it by writing on

26:50 - 26:54

the internet now we talk about this in

26:52 - 26:56

quite a few videos quite a lot of them

26:54 - 26:57

but I'm not talking about becoming a

26:56 - 26:59

content creator I'm talking about

26:57 - 27:01

treating social social media as your

26:59 - 27:03

public Journal rather than a place to

27:01 - 27:05

just distract yourself in that way you

27:03 - 27:07

at least have a chance at attracting

27:05 - 27:09

potential supporters customers employers

27:07 - 27:11

investors team members and anything else

27:09 - 27:13

you would need to reach the life you

27:11 - 27:16

want this is why it's so powerful

27:13 - 27:18

learning building writing to

27:16 - 27:22

systematically reflect on your on what

27:18 - 27:23

you learn in public so people value what

27:22 - 27:26

you're learning and building and it just

27:23 - 27:29

doubles down on the effect of learning

27:26 - 27:30

it's less about building following and

27:29 - 27:32

more about putting your work in front of

27:30 - 27:34

other people like when you're trying to

27:32 - 27:35

meet new people it's never going to

27:34 - 27:38

happen if you don't get out of your

27:35 - 27:40

house and you'll grow bitter and angry

27:38 - 27:42

wondering why you're all alone it's

27:40 - 27:44

obvious why because you haven't given

27:42 - 27:47

people a chance to know or care about

27:44 - 27:49

you your chances of success are zero so

27:47 - 27:51

here's what I recommend for starting

27:49 - 27:53

write a newsletter once a week to

27:51 - 27:55

summarize what you've learned and

27:53 - 27:56

remember teach it to them teach what

27:55 - 27:58

you're learning this is how so many

27:56 - 28:00

people start newsletters or social media

27:58 - 28:02

is they just use it as a place to share

28:00 - 28:04

what they're learning that week some

28:02 - 28:07

people's bios on social media is are

28:04 - 28:09

literally just sharing what I learn on

28:07 - 28:11

the way to whatever the goal is sahil

28:09 - 28:13

Bloom millions of followers on Twitter

28:11 - 28:15

his bio for the longest time was like

28:13 - 28:17

the exploring my curiosity and sharing

28:15 - 28:19

what I learn along the way your bio

28:17 - 28:21

doesn't matter here what matters is the

28:19 - 28:23

content is it interesting are you

28:21 - 28:25

teaching it literally start the

28:23 - 28:26

newsletter or post go search on YouTube

28:25 - 28:28

pay attention to these things as they

28:26 - 28:30

pop up on your timeline so you can

28:28 - 28:32

replicate them is like I learned about

28:30 - 28:35

this insane concept this week it's

28:32 - 28:37

called the zynic effect and it's the

28:35 - 28:38

best way to overcome procrastination

28:37 - 28:41

here's what you do share what you

28:38 - 28:42

learned in this video share anything

28:41 - 28:44

that you learn you give credit where

28:42 - 28:46

credits due when it's needed but most of

28:44 - 28:47

the time if you're just teaching a

28:46 - 28:48

concept or something like that and

28:47 - 28:50

weaving it in with your personal

28:48 - 28:52

experience that that just helps your

28:50 - 28:54

learning so much more the third thing is

28:52 - 28:56

to just write posts on X threads or

28:54 - 28:57

LinkedIn because these are just writing

28:56 - 28:59

platforms you can do any platform but

28:57 - 29:01

the these are writing platforms talk

28:59 - 29:03

about your opinions beliefs personal

29:01 - 29:06

experiences and what you are learning

29:03 - 29:07

and building then tack on social media

29:06 - 29:10

as a skill you need to learn the same

29:07 - 29:12

way as taught in this video then add one

29:10 - 29:13

more 30 to 60 Minute time block for

29:12 - 29:15

writing every morning now if these time

29:13 - 29:17

blocks are starting to add up you can

29:15 - 29:20

split them across different days so you

29:17 - 29:23

can learn on Monday build on Tuesday

29:20 - 29:25

write on Wednesday and then walk on each

29:23 - 29:27

of those days to soak in more

29:25 - 29:30

information and then during all of this

29:27 - 29:32

ask or AI in general or chat gbt or

29:30 - 29:35

Claude to help you as you write so an

29:32 - 29:37

example is you are an expert at crafting

29:35 - 29:40

engaging social post what's the best way

29:37 - 29:42

to start a post on this topic that I'm

29:40 - 29:44

learning and continue from there so

29:42 - 29:46

personally writing changed my life I was

29:44 - 29:49

once a freelance web designer who failed

29:46 - 29:51

at every business prior to that and I

29:49 - 29:53

started on social media because I was

29:51 - 29:56

tired of doing cold Outreach to land

29:53 - 29:58

freelance clients and as I kept going I

29:56 - 30:00

I realized the power of writing in in

29:58 - 30:01

terms of getting in front of more people

30:00 - 30:03

not only on social media but what about

30:01 - 30:06

my landing pages right if I'm not doing

30:03 - 30:08

cold emails and sending those things

30:06 - 30:09

people are how are people getting to me

30:08 - 30:11

right they're going to my profile

30:09 - 30:13

they're reading some of my content

30:11 - 30:14

they're going to my website my landing

30:13 - 30:17

page whatever it may be and that way I

30:14 - 30:18

didn't have to get rejected as much for

30:17 - 30:20

reaching out to people cold I just

30:18 - 30:22

shared what I knew and what I was

30:20 - 30:23

learning in web design and what I was

30:22 - 30:25

building you go and follow programmers

30:23 - 30:28

or designers and they're just sharing

30:25 - 30:30

their work and if that work is good they

30:28 - 30:32

gain a following if it's not good then

30:30 - 30:34

you have direct feedback if you aren't

30:32 - 30:36

gaining a following then you can do

30:34 - 30:38

better but for me with social media it

30:36 - 30:40

wasn't just about the freelance work it

30:38 - 30:42

was about how much I was learning every

30:40 - 30:44

time I hit post it felt like I had

30:42 - 30:46

learned something new like for the

30:44 - 30:48

longest time when I was a kid I would

30:46 - 30:49

just look up to people who were very

30:48 - 30:51

articulate and knowledgeable about

30:49 - 30:53

certain things and then whenever I would

30:51 - 30:55

read something like a book and I thought

30:53 - 30:56

it was really good but then I tried to

30:55 - 30:58

explain it in my own words and I was

30:56 - 31:00

like I I I can't do do this it's just

30:58 - 31:02

not coming to mind I didn't actually

31:00 - 31:05

learn the thing but as I started writing

31:02 - 31:06

and like writing is Legos with ideas so

31:05 - 31:09

when I'm piecing these things together

31:06 - 31:11

and I'm able to kind of just play with

31:09 - 31:13

the thoughts on screen then it makes it

31:11 - 31:14

so much easier to learn because it's not

31:13 - 31:17

just like I'm trying to do it on the

31:14 - 31:19

spot as I'm speaking so the more that I

31:17 - 31:22

wrote the more good things happened

31:19 - 31:24

internally and externally so I hope that

31:22 - 31:27

you can experience that as well that is

31:24 - 31:28

it for this video I hope you learned how

31:27 - 31:30

to learn I hope hope you go on to

31:28 - 31:31

continue learning if you want something

31:30 - 31:33

to learn because you still don't know

31:31 - 31:35

Efficient Learning: Optimizing Your Learning Process for Success

In today's fast-paced world, learning has become more crucial than ever. However, many people find themselves stuck in a cycle of consuming vast amounts of information without retaining much. This leads to a feeling of unproductivity and a lack of tangible results. The key to overcoming this challenge lies in "how to learn", and we are here to guide you through it.

The Pitfall of Traditional Learning Methods

Many individuals drown themselves in podcasts, YouTube videos, books, and social media, only to realize later that they have little to show for all the information they've absorbed. This passive approach to learning often leads to a feeling of mental masturbation, where one indulges in consuming knowledge without effectively utilizing it.

Unlocking the Power of Efficient Learning

To break free from this cycle, you need to revolutionize your learning strategy. By diving deep into the "how to learn" process, you can dramatically accelerate your learning curve and achieve success faster. Our step-by-step guide will help you optimize your learning approach and make the most out of your educational endeavors.

Step 1: Define Your Learning Purpose

To kickstart your efficient learning journey, it's crucial to establish a clear aim for your educational pursuits. By aligning your learning goals with your personal aspirations, you create a roadmap for your success. Understanding the why behind your learning will fuel your motivation and provide direction for your learning path.

Step 2: Project-Based Learning Approach

Embracing a project-based learning approach is the cornerstone of efficient learning. Rather than passively consuming information, immerse yourself in real-world projects that challenge you to apply your knowledge. By outlining specific projects and actively engaging in building tangible outcomes, you solidify your understanding and retain information more effectively.

Step 3: Active Learning and Problem-Solving

Learning thrives on struggle, not mere memorization. Engage in active learning by diving into the unknown and tackling challenges head-on. When faced with obstacles, seek answers, experiment, and refine your skills. Active problem-solving enhances your learning retention and fosters a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Step 4: Harnessing the Power of AI in Learning

Incorporating Artificial Intelligence tools in your learning process can significantly enhance your efficiency. By leveraging AI resources to swiftly access information, seek solutions, and streamline your learning journey. AI can act as a personalized study companion, guiding you through complex topics and quizzes, reinforcing your learning experience.

Step 5: Sharing Knowledge: Writing and Teaching

Transform your learning into a public endeavor by sharing your insights through writing and teaching. By crafting newsletters, social media posts, or engaging in online discussions, you not only reinforce your understanding but also attract a supportive community. Writing about what you learn not only enhances your comprehension but also creates opportunities for collaboration and feedback.

Conclusion: Embrace a Holistic Learning Approach

Efficient learning goes beyond passive consumption; it's about active engagement, problem-solving, and sharing knowledge with others. By following a structured learning approach, leveraging AI tools, and integrating writing and teaching into your routine, you pave the way for accelerated growth and success in your educational journey. Embrace the transformative power of efficient learning and unlock your full potential.

In a world where knowledge is abundant, the art of learning efficiently is your gateway to limitless opportunities. Start your journey towards mastery today, and watch as your learning endeavors propel you towards a future filled with growth and fulfillment.
