Simple Trick to Learn Any Skill Faster
If you could learn a skill 2x as faster what would you do?
How would that help you in your life now?
Take what you want to learn and have it be able to come into your life and impact you immediately.
The way I have done this with my clients is simple. First, I must break a bad habit we all have. The habit of needing to take a skill and tinker with it; work with it in your own privacy and attempt to get it perfect before you use it.
This is a curse. We must make it perfect before we allow ourselves to use it.
It is not about that.
I also see the flip side, which I am guilty of.
When clients just run off and haphazardly do it. Put whatever they learn into high stack application.
I do not want you to do that either.
To get this right you will have to go through a small sequence of steps.
After you learn something, you begin to talk about it. The more you talk about it the more ingrained the habit of doing it becomes. The more detailed and with ease you’re able to talk about it, the easier your body will be able to perform the action.
You will know for a fact that you can do it when you are able to talk someone through the skill.
So, I tell all my clients to stop trying to memorize the skill and action. You must make it your own.
Everything I teach you is based on what is happening inside of me. I cannot tell you the exact way you will act doing every skill. I am going to give you the playbook, but you must make it your own.
So, you must teach it. That means it must come off in your own way. That is why I can keep on going and going and going. It is because when I learn something, I teach it. As I teach it, I know I can do it.
That is what I want for you. Start teaching what you are learning; as you take something in, try to have a conversation about it consistently.
Let us be clear, it does not mean that you’re getting paid to do it. It does not mean that you are a rocket scientist or a know-it-all. This is a mechanism of how you learn.
By you having open conversations with the people around you about what you have learned, you will excel your ability to learn it. Something like, ‘this is what I learned today, and this is what it means to me, and this is how I’m going to apply it’.
As you do that countless times, you are going to realize that you’re already doing the thing that you’re teaching.
So, to make this tip simple, it comes down to three words:
- Learn
- Teach
- Do
That is the key. That is how you are going to get more things done faster. It is a matter of how you do it now.
