hey guys it's practical psychology here
and in this video Daniel from Project

Reflexive pronouns

bet herself is gonna give us five
amazing tips on how to learn faster I

hope you guys enjoy every single one of
us is either learning something new at

the moment or is planning to do in the
future who is playing an instrument

learning a second language drawing or
maybe learning how to code in the past

he must depended on learning new things
they had to learn more effective ways to

hunt and learn how to make better tools
so they can have a higher chance of

survival we see that learning has always
been an integral part of our lives so it

comes natural that we spend some time
learning how to learn here are five tips

that you can use to lap your competition
and leave your friends wondering how you

learn so fast
number one deconstruct the skill and

implement the 8020 principle it is a
concept developed by Italian economist

vilfredo pareto which explains that 80%
of your desired outputs will come from

only 20% of your inputs well the exact
ratio of varies from situation to

situation you'll find that 20% of people
in your life will lead to 80% of your

happiness 20% of your customers will
drive 80 percent of your sales and 20

percent of your learning methods will
lead to 80% of your results when it

comes to learning it feels like there's
so much we don't know so it's easy to

jump around everywhere this will only
lead to wasted time what you want to do

instead is to focus on one or two things
that will drive the middle for what you

want to achieve and devote most of your
time practicing those things for example

if you want to learn how to play the
guitar instead of focusing on strumming

patterns notes on the fretboard
hammer-on pull-off techniques you should

only focus on learning the basic chords
and transitions between them because

that will give you 80% of the results
and in 20% of the time you'll be able to

play the songs you wanted number two
have a laser-like focus and use the

Pomodoro Technique
to learn quickly it'll be important to

commit your full focus and attention
when you're researching and practicing

your skill these days that's easier said
than done thanks to our short attention

spans and constantly buzzing devices to
help you stay focused start using the

Pomodoro Technique the Pomodoro
Technique consists of shutting down all

external distractions and fully focusing
on the task for short period of time

usually 20 to 25 minutes and then taking
a short break of one to five minutes

I've learned coding from scratch in four
months by using this principle my daily

schedule was 12 Commodore sessions each
spending around 25 minutes of focus

State and five minutes of rest and after
every four sessions I would take a

longer break the Pomodoro Technique
produces amazing results because our

brain is more receptive to new
information when we're focused when you

look at it it's basically common sense
more focused in steeper connections

number three learn by doing immersion is
by far the best way to learn anything

and as research shows it turns out that
humans retained 10% of what they learned

from reading twenty percent of what I
learned from audio-visual 50% of what

alert when they see a demonstration up
to 70 percent of what they learn when

they practice what they learned and up
to 90 percent of what they learn when

they use it immediately try to remember
how you learned to play soccer

ride a bicycle or swim instead of
watching tutorials or reading a textbook

on how to do something the way to learn
faster is to get your hands dirty and

gain experience through making mistakes
number four be persistent unfortunately

many of us give up before or during what
Seth Godin calls the dip Gordon says

that although it's important to know
when to quit many potential winners

don't reach success because they quit
before the dip according to Gordon five

reasons you might fail to follow through
are you run out of time and quit you run

out of money and quit you get scared and
quit you're not serious about it then

quit or you lose interest and quit
psychologists have also studied what's

known as the transition cycle when we
experience the opportunity to learn

something new we enter what many people
call the honeymoon phase this is where

we experience releases of dopamine is
ryx perience new things in other words

we're hardwired to appreciate and seek
out novelty because it makes us feel

good once the honeymoon phase is over we
experience the dip and our progress

begins to Plateau or diminish this is
when most of us quit the reason why this

is important is that if you can predict
the dip is coming when you're learning

something new it's easier to fight
through it because you know deep exists

and it only lasts
it's temporary number five get enough

sleep sleep plays a big role in our
ability to learn new information and

skills when we are awake new situations
and stimuli can prevent new memories

from consolidating in our minds but when
we are asleep we're better at creating

new memories one study from a German
research lab found that sleep helps our

memory formation most if you know you
will need the information later in fact

some scientists believe the brain can
actually change its own structure and

organization this is a theory called the
brain plasticity theory and it suggests

those all-important structural and
organizational changes in our brain take

place when we are asleep without
adequate sleep we have a hard time

learning something new because our brain
doesn't have the opportunity to review

and absorb the new information when you
get enough sleep while you're learning a

new skill you'll be able to consolidate
those memories faster and make fewer

mistakes overall so to recap break down
the skill and use the Pareto principle

practice the 20% that will give you 80%
of the results focus deeply when

practicing the skill and use multiple
Pomodoro sessions learn by immersing

yourself and actually doing the skill
you're learning watching or reading is

not enough be persistent and follow
through the deep where majority of

people will quit and finally get
adequate sleep to help your brain store
