Start with the 80-20 Productivity Rule The 80-20 rule suggests that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results. Let me explain better. The 80-20 rule, which is also called the Pareto principle, suggests that 2 out of 10 items on a general to-do list will turn out to be worth more than the 8 other items put together. To maximize your chances of success, you need to focus on the top 10 or 20% of your activities. They are the most valuable. Instead of busying yourself with the least important activities, the 80% that contribute very little to your success. How does this even relate to learning? I'll tell you. Say you want to learn a new language. For instance, ask yourself what 20% of words are used 80% of the time. Learning those will help you learn faster and better. 2. Stop multitasking Ryder Karol, a digital product designer, said and I quote, inevitably, we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time. But in our focus so thing that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as being busy. Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive. To learn fast, you need to stop multitasking. Here's the thing. Think of your brain more like a computer. When you have so many tabs opened, do you know what will happen? You'll end up spreading your attention across all channels and this will slow you down. So everyone wants to get the job done quickly, but one step at a time is the fastest way possible. According to research, working on multiple tasks at once distracts from the quality of all of them. Also, other studies show that once you have been distracted, it takes about 25 minutes to return to the task at hand. That's a lot of time wasted, if you ask me. So instead of trying to multitask, reading and doing something else at the same time, it's more unreading and learning during a dedicated time. 3. Learn from different sources at the same time Human brains are wired in such a way that when you experience a piece of information from different sources, you'll have a higher likelihood of retaining it. So when multiple parts of our brains are working at the same time, we tend to learn faster and remember it even quicker. So the trick to learn faster is to expand your sources of information. Do not limit yourself to only books, listen to podcasts, watch videos, listen to songs or poems and any other multimedia that can help you learn. 4. Divide your learning time into three equal parts Utilize one-third of the time learning and two-third practicing. You see, the truth is that when you combine theoretical learning and physical practice, you'll learn better and faster. Remember the popular saying, out of sight, out of mind. So get all the theoretical knowledge you need to get and then go to a location in real life where you can practice it. To do this, divide your learning time into three parts. Use one-third of it to acquire and gain theoretical knowledge of the subject you are interested in and then use the remaining two parts to practice what you have learned. Doing this will help you improve your learning curve so that you can learn faster. 5. Practice the 50-minute rule The 50-minute rule suggests doing something for 50 minutes or a little less and then taking at least a 10-minute break before proceeding. You see, research says our brains end up powering down very quickly when they are running on overdrive. In this case, reading for too long at once, for over 50 minutes at once, can be said to be running on overdrive. Helen Dunn, a research manager, explains that anything less than 30 minutes is just not enough. But anything more than 50 is too much information for your brain to take in at one time. However, when you incorporate short bursts of time into your learning schedule, you'll be able to learn faster and retain much better. 6. Spend 20 hours on focus learning If you want to become truly good at something, then you should dedicate at least 20 hours of focus learning to the subject. This includes practice in it. Practice is perfect, after all. Whenever you approach something new that you're willing to learn, you should commit 20 hours. Ensure that during these hours you do not give room for distractions or anything that might take you away from the 20 hours. And no, you don't have to do it all at once. For instance, you can dedicate 40 minutes daily for a whole month. However, you must be committed to do those 40 minutes every day. Committing this amount of time to that particular task will help you become very good at it in a short period. 7. Teach other people what you have learned Talking or writing about what you have learned helps you retain it. And it can also solidify the new information in your brain. Because the process of teaching someone what you have learned in your own words will help your brain understand it better. Plus, you'll be surprised at how innovative you'll get teaching others the subject in your own words. There you go. Now, you can learn faster using these tips.
