13. 0:22news for you think back to when you were
14. 0:24in school your teachers would lecture
15. 0:26you about history and science and tell
16. 0:28you to go home and Learn by reading the
17. 0:30textbook the problem is you never
18. 0:31learned how to actually learn no one

21. 0:38absorbing information into your mind
22. 0:40after all these years I'm going to give
23. 0:42you the secret formula and teach you how
24. 0:43to learn anything faster than anyone you
25. 0:46know the first principle is absolutely
26. 0:48essential for you to know it's called
27. 0:49the 8020 rule the 8020 rule states that
28. 0:5280% of your results come from only 20%
29. 0:54of your effort so what does that mean
30. 0:56for you well if you're trying to learn a
31. 0:58new language instead of memorizing in
32. 1:00thousands of words and complex grammar
33. 1:02rules focus on the thousand most
34. 1:04commonly used words and learning how to
35. 1:06form basic sentences oh you want to
36. 1:08learn how to cook focus on mastering the
37. 1:10fundamentals first chicken pasta eggs
38. 1:14rice Etc put a little salt and pepper on
39. 1:16that and boom you're already a better
40. 1:18Chef than half the people I know and
41. 1:20please challenge me in the comments
42. 1:21below I bet you can't name a single
43. 1:23skill where mastering the basics first
44. 1:25doesn't make you better more quickly the
45. 1:27truth is most people over complicate
46. 1:29things and waste time on details that
47. 1:31don't matter if you focus on the 20%
48. 1:33that drives 80% of the results you'll
49. 1:36get way better way faster than everyone
50. 1:38else now the second principle may shock
51. 1:41you anytime you're trying to learn
52. 1:42anything new I want you to have one
53. 1:44single goal in mind to fail over and
54. 1:47over and over again as quickly as
55. 1:49possible now you're probably thinking
56. 1:51what the is this guy talking about I'm
57. 1:53here to learn things not fail well
58. 1:55you're going to want to hear me out if
59. 1:56your goal is to learn how to go viral on
60. 1:58social media but from day one every
61. 2:00single post you put out gets a million
62. 2:02likes what did you actually learn you
63. 2:04learned nothing you do not learn from
64. 2:06succeeding the only time you ever learn
65. 2:09is after you fail if you want to learn
66. 2:11how to shoot a basketball you have to
67. 2:12miss a shot first so you can take a step
68. 2:15back and reflect on what you did wrong
69. 2:17sure would going viral on social media
70. 2:19every time or never missing a basketball
71. 2:21shot be amazing of course but that's not
72. 2:24real life the point is you only learn by
73. 2:27failing first so by that logic it would
74. 2:29only make sense to fail as much and as
75. 2:31quickly as possible the Learning Cycle
76. 2:33at its very core has four stages one
77. 2:37experiencing that failure two taking a
78. 2:39step back to reflect on what went wrong
79. 2:41three taking in more information like
80. 2:44watching videos or reading books and for
81. 2:46improving on your mistakes then simply
82. 2:49just repeat now I have a cheat code for
83. 2:51fast laning this process in cognitive
84. 2:53tasks like studying for an exam or
85. 2:55learning a new language let's say for
86. 2:57example you're studying for an exam on
87. 2:59World War II I want you to close the
88. 3:01book then ask yourself questions like
89. 3:03explain what happened in World War II
90. 3:05from there recite everything you know
91. 3:07almost pretend like you're the one
92. 3:09teaching once you eventually hit a
93. 3:10roadblock jot that down then go back to
94. 3:12reading so you can fill that Gap after
95. 3:14that just keep repeating this process by
96. 3:17doing this you're failing instantly
97. 3:19every couple of minutes this cheat code
98. 3:21is known as active Recall now this final
99. 3:23principle is arguably the most important
100. 3:26of all it's going to sound ironic but to
101. 3:28learn more quickly you need to learn
102. 3:29learn more slowly I know you clicked on
103. 3:32a video called how to learn anything
104. 3:33fast but by learning more slowly you
105. 3:36actually learn quicker let me explain
106. 3:38your brain like your body is a muscle it
107. 3:40only has so much capacity for one day of
108. 3:43taking in new information if your brain
109. 3:45wasn't like this we could work all day
110. 3:47long without getting tired now think
111. 3:49about that one topic or skill that
112. 3:51you're trying to learn currently I can
113. 3:52guarantee that it has many subtopics in
114. 3:55the overarching goal let's take the
115. 3:57example of cooking if you're trying to
116. 3:58learn knife SK skills perfect seasoning
117. 4:01sauce making boiling pasta and Grilling
118. 4:03all in one session you're going to walk
119. 4:05away about 1% better at each skill now
120. 4:08if you only tried grilling a single
121. 4:10piece of chicken you'd probably improve
122. 4:1220% or more in just grilling if you do
123. 4:14the math you've just learned the overall
124. 4:16skill of cooking four times faster when
125. 4:18you slow down and take the time to build
126. 4:20each skill until it becomes a habit
127. 4:22you'll improve faster than 99% of people
128. 4:25who try to do everything at once and end
129. 4:27up mastering nothing the cool part is
130. 4:29that this principle applies everywhere
131. 4:31learning a new sport focus on mastering
132. 4:33one movement at a time trying to get
133. 4:35better at chess master one opening
134. 4:37before jumping to complex strategies
135. 4:39want to be a better speaker work on
136. 4:41pausing in Clarity before worrying about
137. 4:43fancy words now in order to truly learn
138. 4:46anything there's still one piece of the
139. 4:48puzzle missing you need to genuinely
140. 4:50believe that you can do it this is
141. 4:51called a growth mindset the belief that
142. 4:54no matter where you're starting from you
143. 4:55can improve if you put in the effort in
144. 4:57honestly you need to take this belief to
145. 5:00almost a delusional level if you want to
146. 5:02learn something you need to be so
147. 5:04confident in your ability to figure it
148. 5:05out that failure isn't even an option
149. 5:08think about it you've already done this
150. 5:09before you learned to walk talk read and
151. 5:12write you weren't born knowing how to do
152. 5:14any of those things but you figured them
153. 5:16out so why should this be any different
154. 5:18and if this thing you're learning is
155. 5:20truly important to you then it's not
156. 5:22just about effort it's about immersion
157. 5:24it should be the thing you're thinking
158. 5:25about in the shower before bed when
159. 5:27you're zoning out in class or work if
160. 5:30you're serious about mastering this you
161. 5:32need to be obsessed that's the mindset
162. 5:34difference between people who kind of
163. 5:36learn something and people who Master it
164. 5:38which one are you going to be at the end
165. 5:40of the day learning anything fast comes
166. 5:42down to focusing on the right things
167. 5:44mastering one step at a time and
168. 5:46believing so strongly in your ability to
169. 5:48improve that success becomes inevitable
170. 5:51I'll see you in the next one
