Description

The course is prepared for YOU and is aimed to help YOU build upon and improve your learning methods.

The course is difficult, and is demanding.

The reason is that for you to achieve these best practices and to be able to apply them consistently, you need to have motivation, you need to put in effort, you need to build up discipline and create habits based on these practices.

Learning means introducing a change to our brain chemistry.

Your neurons send signals in a certain way -> you learn something new -> your neurons send signals in a slightly different way.

This is not an easy or simple process, as our brain, left on its own, choses the path of least resistance and reverts to our basic survival instincts. And these are great for surviving life or death situations and preventing us from harm… BUT are not efficient for learning, improving and performing at a top level.

You cannot get away anymore with not being a focused and efficient lifelong learner.

In learning there are proven best practices and methods which you can use to be a top performer.

The thing is that there are many of them, while learning is personal.

Due to this reason you need to be able to filter and pick up the ones that work best for you.

What this course does is:

It provides a variety of working best practices and methods

It helps you to understand them and test them out

It helps you to select which of them you can do consistently and to your best effect

It guides you to implement them to your situation

The format of the course is as follows:

The course is separated into 6 sessions, or ‘weeks’. You can go about your own pace, but the recommended pace is a ‘week’ for each. The reason is that this gives you some time to think about the information and how can you apply it to your situation.

Prior to each topic (or ‘week’) you set up your expectations by filling in your personal objectives, or what you are looking forward to learning in the specific section.

Action list

Upon completion of each section or ‘week’, you will have an action list with tasks that you need to perform in order to test the topics discussed, as well as the best practices.

Keep in mind, learning is personal, and best learning practices apply differently to individuals.

The action lists will guide you to try these out, see which of them work best for you, which of them you can do consistently, and which of them you should include in your schedule!

Concluding remarks and setting expectations

Please do not limit yourself to what has been taught here!

This is not an exhaustive course, as learning is never exhaustive, nor limited. It is aimed to help you gain an understanding of the tools and techniques that you can use, but do not rule out any possibility or option that you think of, or come across – try it out and if it works for you, apply it and do it consistently!

And one more thing that you should remember well – learning is difficult! If you feel it is easy, it means you are not learning much. All options for ‘quick and easy’ learning are misleading.

As discussed in the course, learning new information means you are introducing a change to your brain’s chemistry and into how your neurons communicate, which does require focus and effort.

And if you are not putting focus and effort, you are introducing no change.

Hope this helps to set your expectations right…

And with that, I wish you happy, interesting and engaging learning going forward!
