📖 Make learning as addictive as social media

Oct 29, 2023

Social media feels like so much fun, isn’t it?

That’s why we keep scrolling it all the time. Glued to our smartphones.

While learning feels like a chore.

What if that wasn’t the case? What if we could make learning as addictive as social media?

Well, that’s what the founders of Duolingo managed to do.

Watch this Ted Talk for their inspiring story -

Laws of Getting Rich

Happiness has got nothing to do with money.

In fact, beyond a point, more money may lead to less happiness.

Money doesn’t solve all your problems.

At least that’s what Will Smith found out -

This is from - A Few Laws of Getting Rich by Morgan Housel.

Do read the full post, very interesting observations.

The Eisenhower Matrix wasn't working for me. Categorising tasks based on importance and urgency doesn't feel right.

I want ALL my tasks to be important and not urgent.

Trying something new -

Categorising tasks based on impact and creativity. Start the day with high-impact + creative tasks.

And gradually move towards low-impact + non-creative tasks.

Been doing this for a week, feels more fun and productive so far.

Let's see how it goes.

This is how I make my todo list now -

An average nonfiction book is 100,000 words long.

It contains stories, examples, research references, and a whole lot of repetition of the same key ideas.

The main insights from a top-quality nonfiction book can be drilled down to 1 to 5 key ideas.

Yet, you end up having spent 6-8 hours of your precious time reading it, digesting it, and learning those insights.

If you don’t have that kind of time. We created the Keys to Wisdom for you.

It’s a collection of the top 3-5 ideas from the best non-fiction books in the world.

So that you can learn the best of what a book has to offer in less than 5 minutes.
