How to Learn Anything Faster

Hello and welcome to this week's 2 x 2 Newsletter!

Every week, I share insights from my exploration of psychology and the art of learning.

My aim is to offer you valuable ideas and tools that you can start using today to learn faster and better.


2 Quotes on Learning Faster:

• “Screwing up more is a way to increase your rate of learning [...] more experimentation means more mistakes but it also means more results and more growth.” — Josh Kaufman (Knowledge Project Episode #106)

​

• When learning new skills: “In the brain, the greater the challenge, the greater the changes.” — Anders Ericsson, Peak

​


2 Thoughts From Me:
​

• You can learn much faster when you think from first principles. What are the essential building blocks of the course? The business? The exam? Which blocks are missing in your learning practice?

​

• Teaching something is a surefire way to learn it quickly. Who can you teach? How can you get them to teach others?
