2013 EDU: TKR: How to learn anything... fast

How to learn anything... fast-
-
Author and business adviser Josh Kaufman reveals a new approach for acquiring new skills quickly with just a small amount of practice each day.
-
Wait!  First read: 
How to use this video really fast
  • Fast forward through the first 3 minutes
  • Stop the video at 19 minutes
  • That gets you the basic information
  • Next start doing what the man says
  • That is how you use what you hear
  • You can  watch the rest of the video later
  • But there is only one way to use what you are told
  • Do it.  Or do not.  There is no study.

    2014 TKR: If a thing is worth doing, it is worth knowing why you are doing it. Satisfice.

    If a thing is worth doing, 
    it is worth knowing why you are doing it
    Don't sacrifice.  Satisfice.
    If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well.  
    That is the sound of the Shudoffs.  The people in your head who tell you what you should do.  Always ready to tell you what you should do.  Never ready to help you do it.  
    -
    Never even tell you what it means to do something well.
