Hey Ambitious,

Learning is a skill.

But it's rarely taught.

We're constantly trying to learn new things, but never stop to ask..

“Am I going about this in the best way”

In today's Newsletter:

• 8 techniques you can used by Top 1% of Fastest Learners

• Free Funnel Building Workshop by Click funnels (sponsorship)

• Many more

1) Use the 80/20 Rule

80% of the results come from 20% of the inputs.

Take time before you start learning something to identify the most important 20%.

For example:

Guitar - The 20 chords used most in popular songs

Languages - The 500 most commonly used words

2) Learn from multiple sources

Your brain is a complex machine.

If you can get more parts of it firing, you will be more likely to remember what you're studying.

• Books

• Audio

• Video

Experiment with different ways of stimulating it.

3) Dedicate 20 Hours of Focused Learning

Forget the 10,000 hour rule.

Studies show that you can become proficient at something in as little as 20 hours.

But how you use that 20 hours is critical.

An amazing TED Talks goes deep on this topic:

4) Use immersion

Learning Spanish?

Moving to Spain is probably going to fast-track your progress.

This can be applied to other skills:

Coding - Start a project with friends

Guitar - Join a band

Put yourself in the environment best for learning

5) Use The Feynman Technique

STEP 1: Identify a topic

STEP 2: Try to explain it to a 5-year-old

STEP 3: Study to fill in knowledge gaps

STEP 4: Organize, convey, and review

6) Distributed Practice > Cramming

You may be able to scrape through your calculus exam by cramming all night

--but a week later you won't remember a thing.

Your brain will reward you for using spaced repetition.

I recommend an app called Anki for this.

7) Test Yourself

Good for learning

= putting information into your brain

Better for learning

= recalling information from your brain

Test your knowledge early and often.

This will also help you identify weak points that you can come back and target later.

8) Handwriting > Typing

To each their own.

But research shows that retention rates improve when we pick the pen and paper over the mouse and keyboard.
